Female Therapists in Taylor, MS

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.“—Arthur Ashe This is my approach to helping clients. We all face difficulties in life and there is no universal “normal.” I have personally been through difficult life experiences, such as abuse, divorce, and single parenthood, but also have experienced healing. My approach is to help clients discover what they have within themselves and how they can find their own “normal.” Sometimes it just takes an objective ear, raw honesty, and different perspective to discover the power within us.

I am currently working with all ages of clients and enjoy every developmental stage of life, however I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I have a good deal of clinical experience in treating clients with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger issues. I've worked with many children whose parents are going through divorce or separation and the many issues which stem from such a family disruption. Another client population that I frequently see is gay and lesbian individuals of all ages.

I especially enjoy working with are those who have had no prior counseling experience or who have had negative experiences in counseling settings; I value the time it takes to build the foundation for a trusting and safe relationship.

Hi! I'm Marissa Kent, licensed professional counselor (LPC). I work with clients across the state of Mississippi via telehealth. I specialize in helping young adults overcome toxic cycles and the trauma caused by them so they can build better relationships with themselves and others. Understanding your story leaves me better equipped to support you in working through life's challenges and achieving personal growth. I help individuals and couples who long to be happy again and have relationships that actually add value to their lives.

When you've done it all but there's still something missing, it may be time to go deeper to find more lasting sources of well-being. I'm a contemplative therapist and ordained contemplative minister who may be the mirror you need for this season. I specialize in a mindful awareness process called Brainspotting. Brainspotting not only offers trauma healing and creative expansion: It can help you recover your connection to the authentic self that was shelved along the way.. I'm grateful to have provided over 10K hours of Brainspotting since 2013 and witnessed this amazing healing and spiritual growth. I'd be honored to accompany you.

Empowering my clients, one session at a time, through vulnerability

Hello all! I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and build fulfilling lives. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques. I believe therapy provides us with the opportunity to introspect through a lens of curiosity and acceptance, as opposed to shame or judgment. Together, let’s embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Learn to be proud of proud of who you are, not who you think you should be. Kick off your shoes, get comfortable, and find your voice!

Life is for living. Many times in life we let past experiences, people and situations keep us from moving forward. It's easy to get bogged down in every day life and forget to work on ourselves. Fears, depression and life circumstances can interfere with individual growth, accomplishing goals and thriving. We hope and wish that problems will resolve on their own. However, most road blocks start within - the messages we receive and what we tell ourselves. Only you can love yourself enough to try. It's not easy, at times, but it is so worth the effort.

I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, PTSD, substance use issues, and those who feel outcast or chronically misunderstood. I am culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. If you would like an open-minded therapist who listens, meets you where you are, and offers a collaborative treatment approach, please contact me. I am committed to helping you to heal and build the life you want.

What happened? You've been through something, something painful. Yesterday, last week, or years ago - it doesn't matter. You're having trouble now, and it's time to talk it through. You're down and not motivated. You're not sleeping well and wake up in a panic. You're thinking about the same things over and over without solving anything. You're doing the same things over and over again with the same unsatisfactory results. We've all been there - I have. I know how helpful therapy can be.

Are you sad? Are you afraid? Are you tired? Is the trauma from your past getting in your way today? I want to help. I want to help you move through the sadness, face your fears, and overcome the trauma of your past, so you can live with joy in the present and renewed hope for your future. I know it can be difficult to share your struggles. It can be difficult to know who to turn to. I want to help.

I look forward to working with you. Society has stigmatized the need for mental health, so I applaud every client for seeking services. Your results will be determined by your transparency and mindset for growth.

Immediate Availability! We can not plan for everything that happens to us. However, we can choose how we are going to respond. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball that you didn’t see coming and it has left you feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you have been in survival mode and have just been putting one foot in front of the other just to make it through the day and you lift your head one day to realize you don’t know where you are or which way to go. Maybe life seems like it has become a never-ending cycle of anxiety and depression. Or, do you just feel like you need some extra support to get you to where you want to be? I can help.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of practice settings over the past 20 years. My primary area of interest and training is working with children under the age of 10 dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, autism, developmental delay, divorce, grief, medical issues, behavioral problems, and more. I believe children have limitless potential for growth and they have an innate capacity for resiliency. I also believe that parents and primary caregivers play a critical role in a child's recovery and a joint approach to working with children is essential to healing.

Counseling is about establishing a safe and trusting relationship wherein the client feels comfortable speaking about and exploring the unknown or the scary, practicing communication skills, and realizing their own strengths and potential - assets which they can then utilize to overcome any of life’s challenges and stressors. Over the last few years, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and families with vastly different backgrounds, needs, strengths, diagnoses, and goals to become their best selves. I believe anyone and everyone is capable of enhancing their wellness and living a life they find enjoyable and full of meaning.

As a mental health professional, my practice centers around evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I specialize in providing support for anxiety, depression, and disordered eating, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs.
