Non-Binary Therapists in Savannah, GA

Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

I believe we are often made to feel defective or broken when we aren't born with the "proper default settings." Learning to navigate a world that doesn't feel like it was built for you can lead to burn out, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, and substance use just to name a few. I work with people who are trying to find a new way to be in the world and to relate to themselves and other people, who don't need "fixing" to fit into the dominant culture.

I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. is a group of highly trained professionals providing mental health services based in Columbus, Ohio. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, focusing on young adults. We are also experts in LGBTQIA+ and ENM/ polyamory. Many of our clients have found great success in many facets of their lives but struggle to manage their emotions and stress. We are particularly sensitive to those experiencing life transitions like moving, a breakup, changing jobs, graduating, or beginning a new relationship when self-doubt and increased anxiety and depression can emerge. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so that they can begin making targeted and sustainable changes. Our clinicians blend person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and acceptance, and commitment therapy. We help clients understand their physical and emotional responses to stressors and learn to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change. Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. focuses on ensuring our clients see real progress. We are warm, laid back, and affirming. We are sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and we work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and self-compassion. Our priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. We offer the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your counselor. I provide counseling services for adolescents and adults, and I offer affordable rates for individual & relational therapy.

Savannah is one of the American South's most historically significant cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots, a large Black community whose history is inseparable from the city's identity, and a growing creative and tourism economy anchored by the Savannah College of Art and Design, which brings thousands of students and a vibrant arts community into the city each year. The mental health landscape reflects the sharp racial wealth gap that persists from Savannah's history, with Black residents facing disproportionate barriers to mental health care in a city where the private therapy sector largely serves white and SCAD-connected communities. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield nearby create additional demand for military and veteran mental health services within the broader metro area. Common therapy concerns include trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and cultural stress, and the experience of building a creative life in a beautiful but economically complex city.
