Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Milledgeville, GA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes healing begins when people feel safe, seen, and supported. I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a space where you can exhale, be honest about what you are carrying, and begin moving toward restoration at a pace that feels right for you.

I am a dual certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in tandum with medication management. I strive to help individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to find balance in their daily lives. Many of my clients experience anxiety, depression, mood instability, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, or life transitions that feel difficult to manage alone. You may be seeking clarity, emotional stability, improved focus, or relief from symptoms that are impacting your relationships, work, or sense of self. I understand fully and will be there with you every step of the way!

I'm a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My background includes extensive work in crisis intervention and helping people through difficult times. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. My approach is professional and personable, blending expertise with warmth and humor. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where healing can truly begin.

Raessha Stanley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Trauma-Focused CBT practitioner, and Youth Crisis Intervention specialist.

Holistic Healing, LLC, I provide therapy, trainings, and workshops that integrate evidence-based care with a holistic lens.

A lot of people arrive at a first therapy appointment braced for something solemn, as though they are about to be studied. That is not what happens here. I'm John, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University, and I've spent more than twenty years doing this work across a variety of settings.

I work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, grief and loss, and end-of-life concerns, as well as trauma, PTSD, substance use, sleep problems, and the strain of living with a chronic health condition. I also have a lot of experience with men's issues - especially men who have spent years keeping it all together and are tired of doing that alone.

What I bring is genuineness, humor, and real presence with whoever is in front of me. Not performed warmth, and not someone taking notes on you from behind a clipboard. Humor matters more in this work than people expect. Not to make light of what is hard, but because being able to laugh at something is often the first sign it has loosened its grip on you. Twenty years in, very little you bring will be unfamiliar to me, and none of it will make me think less of you.
