Clarissa Poole-Parks, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Clarissa!

I support individuals across all ages as they navigate life's challenges. My empathetic, client-centered approach creates an environment of trust and growth, empowering you to achieve your personal goals and enhance your overall well-being.

My focus

I work with individuals facing emotional regulation challenges, relationship issues, negative thinking patterns, and those seeking to align their actions with personal values. I offer empathy, understanding, and unconditional acceptance when you need it most.

My approach

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address mental health challenges. DBT teaches mindfulness and skills for emotional regulation and relationships. Cognitive Therapy helps identify and change negative thought patterns. ACT encourages accepting feelings while taking value-based action.

My communication style

I provide empathy, understanding, and support when you need it most. You'll experience unconditional acceptance and a listening ear as we work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

Counseling chose me. I've always connected easily with others and understood the importance of being heard without judgment. I experienced that gift myself, and now I offer it to others.

My goals for you

We'll set SMART goals to identify and address thoughts and behaviors affecting your mood. By establishing clear, achievable objectives, we can track your progress and develop effective coping strategies. This process provides direction and motivation, helping you see meaningful changes in your mental health.

Our first session

You'll experience a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts without judgment. We'll move at your own pace with warmth and support.
