Getting to know Nerissa Mayfield

Hi there, I'm Nerissa! My name is Nerissa Mayfield. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of GA with 14 years of clinical practice. I hold an MEd in Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University. My theoretical approach is cognitive behavior theory (CBT). The majority of my clinical work has been in the areas of anxiety, depression, workplace stress, anger management, positive self-image, and romantic and family relationships with both adults and adolescents. LPC007685 My approach My approach to providing therapy is building trust and an authentic environment. It is vital that both the client and I feel comfortable. This is a team effort. The CBT foundation rests on the notion that what you think impacts your emotions and actions. Therefore, it is important to create a space of comfort between myself and the client. My focus I have worked in a variety of settings including juvenile detention centers, outpatient agencies, crisis centers, and schools, conducting therapy utilizing both in-person and telehealth platforms. I am open to working with adolescents and adults. My communication style I create a warm and open environment with my clients. I want clients to feel a sense of peacefulness during our sessions. I hope clients feel it is safe to express their true feelings and thoughts. I consider myself a walking diary. Clients feel they have an honest, yet transparent therapist to help aid them in their transformation process. My journey to mental healthcare I find it fulfilling to help others become their "Best Self." Each person has his or her hills and mountains on their journey. I would love to have the privilege to assist you in your quest. My goals for you During our first session, we will explore your thoughts on the events that have led you to this point in your journey. We will discuss your expectations and what areas you would like to hone in on and improve. We will also break down how we will reach these goals.
