Jerusha McClendon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has worked with many people experiencing mental health and addiction personally or in their family. Jerusha has 8 years of experience in the mental health field. She completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Ohio State University.

Jerusha believes there is a need to identify and understand where the seeds of doubt and fear come from, as well as how to connect with the seeds of hope and purpose in the present and the future. Her job is to facilitate the conversation and allow clients to gain insight into their condition and develop an action plan to change their lives.

Jerusha’s superpowers include listening empathetically, relating easily to others, and critical thinking. She believes that all people have purpose in life, and she wants to explore that purpose with clients. Additionally, she strives to create a safe place in therapy so vulnerability can be examined and gains made. Therapy is a change process. Join Jerusha in this change process so that you can be a changemaker in your life and spread that change to others in your inner circle.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 9 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and family conflict. I specialize in marriage and family dynamics, helping clients strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and foster healthier connections in their personal and relational lives. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based, systemic approaches that consider the impact of family patterns and relational systems.

I earned my doctorate in marriage and family therapy from Amridge University. I utilize solution-focused, emotionally focused, and strength-based therapies to help clients identify patterns, build insight, and create meaningful change.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a collaborative, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we will develop practical tools and strategies to help you strengthen your relationships and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, adults, couples, and older adults. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. Many people I work with are seeking greater clarity, balance, and deeper connection in their lives and relationships.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from Alabama A&M University. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based techniques to help clients build emotional regulation skills, gain insight, and shift unhelpful patterns in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

Seeking support takes courage, and you do not have to do it alone. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting a new perspective, therapy can be a place to feel seen, heard, and supported. I welcome you to take the next step when you are ready and begin your journey toward healing and growth.

I earned a Master of Social Work from Troy University and a Master of Public Health from Mercer University. I have worked as a social worker in the inpatient psychiatric sector and as a program coordinator for multiple mental health programs. I specialize in holistic wellness, with a focus on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, spirituality, women's issues, and life transitions.

I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. Clients can expect a welcoming, judgement-free environment where each individual will be seen and heard while being open, honest, and authentically themselves.

It is my pleasure to collaborate with you to develop clear avenues while also supporting you on your journey to growth, change, and develop. I invite you to schedule an appointment today! 

Catherine K. Thompson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience working with a variety of populations. Her specialties include adults with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, and childhood trauma. She also specializes in assisting women navigating the various challenges of motherhood, along with people of color.

Catherine earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern Mississippi. She believes that therapy is not a “one-size fits all” approach, and she utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy as most applicable to meet the client’s needs.

For some, the idea of therapy is without stigma and openly welcomed. For others, it’s one of the hardest decisions they will make. It is easy to remain in familiarity. Catherine is extending an olive branch in hopes that you will make the hard decision now to achieve the peace you desire in the future.
