I earned my Masters from Liberty University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in helping adults navigate anxiety and depression. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, which means we work as partners to help you feel truly heard and supported. I blend evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness strategies, to help you understand your patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build a more fulfilling life.
After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.
I am Jesmond Fair, born and raised in rural Alabama and later became an alumnus of The University of Alabama. I completed all my graduate training at UGA and am calling Atlanta home. I am a gay Black Christian cis-gender male. For most moments of the day, I have a random song on repeat in my head. This can be attributed to my background in vocal and instrumental music. I believe in being real. So, clients can expect facial reactions, slang, occasional profanity, laughter, and even tears.
I have over 17 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families in crisis. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and hold additional certifications as a Master Addictions Counselor and a Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor. I have many specialties, including trauma-informed therapy."
