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 clinical social worker licensed in Alabama and Georgia, with 14 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field—including counseling, assessment, case management, and program development, implementation, and retention. 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!
