Parenting Therapists in Tupelo, MS

I have worked with children and families for over 40 years. My goal in life has been to make a difference in the life of a child, helping them to feel good about themselves and teaching them skills to cope with whatever circumstances have led to their emotional or behavioral problems. I also strongly believe in working closely with the parents of the children I work with, helping them to understand and accept what is happening with their child and providing them with support and skills to interact with their child in positive and productive ways. Making a commitment to therapy can result in children that are happy and successful.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Therapist in Mississippi since 1999. I hold a Master of Science degree in Counselor Education and a PhD in Educational Leadership. My experience in the field of mental healthcare spans over 30 years. I was a school administrator for six years and a former law enforcement officer for 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, couples, parenting problems, career challenges, PTSD and ADHD. I am a compassionate counselor, but I believe in individual accountability.

Do you need help navigating the various stages of life, such as the transition to college, change in careers, parenting, or retirement? At Bledsoe Counseling, LLC, we encourage, equip, and empower our clients to take effective control of their lives.

I fully believe people do well when they can. If you are not doing well in some or many areas of your life, it's because there is something holding you back. You WANT to do well, but for some reason you just can't. That's okay. I can help you identify and navigate these barriers so that you can start doing well again.

I enjoy helping others who live with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, anger, challenging relationships, and have experienced trauma find practical strategies to enhance their lives. I also enjoy helping people process life events and changes. I am passionate about encouraging others as they break through challenges in their lives while spotlighting hope along the way.  One of my greatest joys as a counselor is watching someone recognize hope and realize their own progress.

The mission of Dr. Fulwiler's clinic, Cardinal Clinical Consulting, is to provide evidence-based practice in clinical psychology to the Tupelo and north Mississippi community. Dr. Fulwiler hopes to translate the science of psychology into commonsense, every-day understanding. Psychological reports are written for the client, avoiding highly technical jargon and explaining somewhat-confusing concepts in simple, straightforward ways. The recommendations we provide are intended to provide practical, attainable steps for change.

I am dedicated to assisting clients reach their individual goals, work through life transitions, and address the difficult challenges that often happen in our lives. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I work with children aged 3 – 12, adolescents and adults. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have training in Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR). My past work experience has focused on the issues of grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and behavioral issues.

Have you found yourself dealing with experiences, thoughts, or emotions that feel out of control or overwhelming? Life is messy on this side of Heaven and you do not have to go through it alone. I believe we were created to be in connection with other people but often our experiences and unhealthy relationships have made that difficult. The support and connection from a skilled therapist can be invaluable when you find yourself in those broken moments. It is my hope that for at least one hour each week, you can come, sip on some coffee or tea and not feel like you have to fix everything on your own.

I am passionate about helping people of all ages in their journeys toward healing and personal growth. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or seeking to understand yourself better, I am here to support you in reaching your goals. From our first session, my hope is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and valued.

Eccl. 3:1 "For everything there is a season..." . Each season of life has it's own unique challenges and issues, my goal is to help people navigate these challenges in a way that reflects their personal values. My Christian faith shapes my worldview however I recognize that not everyone shares that same faith experience. My desire is to empower you to have the skills you need to navigate life in all it's seasons.

We all want to be heard, accepted, loved, and understood regardless of the issues or life circumstances we are facing. Whether you struggle with anxiety/depression or you have a diagnosed disorder that causes impairment in your daily function, I can help with a renewed perspective, coping skills, and safe place to talk. My Mission statement is Restore, Renew, Refresh. Ephesians 6:16 “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith...". Counseling is a process, not a one and done deal. Healing and growth require a person to work 100% of the time emotionally, mentally, and physically.

If you find yourself here, I encourage you to reach out to me (email/text). You may be surprised to find that even if you’re not experiencing a “crisis” or a difficult time in life, therapy is a great way to learn more about yourself, improve your outlook, strengthen relationships, or gain career guidance. Everyone benefits from therapy. Having the pleasure of working in this field for over 15 years, I pride myself on taking an experiential approach to therapy, as each person is unique in his or her own way. Taking a “one size fits all” approach is not effective. I look forward to helping you on an effective therapeutic journey.
