About
Remember, it's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're now”- Denis Waitley. As a Black woman and the oldest daughter and sister in my family, I understand the responsibility, resilience, and emotional complexity that can come with growing up in families that don’t always follow a traditional path.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in the state of Georgia, with nine years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults address trauma and navigate life’s challenges. My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, trauma, family-related difficulties, and major life transitions.
My approach blends trauma-informed care with practical skillbuilding to help children, adolescents, and adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and life challenges. Clients can expect a supportive, culturally aware space focused on healing, resilience, and the development of tools for lasting personal growth.
We all go through challenges in our lives, but how we respond and react to situations is what makes us different from others. I am confident I can assist you with overcoming mental and emotional barriers in every aspect of your life journey. Remember: Your identity is tied to whatever you give your heart to.

I support people who feel overwhelmed by stress, conflict, or self-doubt, and I bring a steady, practical approach shaped by years of clinical work and my commitment to understanding how people grow and change.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience providing clinical care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma histories, emotional regulation challenges, and strained family relationships. Many clients seek support during major life transitions or want help understanding patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is practical, goal-oriented, and focused on steady progress.
I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Thomas University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and a direct, structured approach. I help clients build emotional control, reduce avoidance, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, with experience supporting trauma-related stress, anxiety, and family conflict.
You deserve support that feels steady, respectful, and focused on what matters most to you. I provide an environment where experiences are taken seriously, goals are clearly defined, and progress continues between sessions. If you are ready to work toward meaningful change at a pace that fits your needs, I welcome you to reach out and begin the work together.

As a clinician with 22 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience in the mental health field. She understands the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine enjoys working with clients who are experiencing self-identity, interpersonal relational issues that affect their job and family dynamics. This is her ideal type of client to work with because there is a lot of self-exploration the client will need to work on first. Some of the issues that will come up are self-loathing, lack of esteem, shame, and poor self-image. As a clinician, Catherine provides them support and total acceptance. When the client can begin to embrace and accept who they are without judgment, they can begin to work on how they relate to other people in all areas of their life. This can be done slowly and one step at a time. The pace is usually set by the client and how they progress along in treatment as they embrace each stage of their new self.
Catherine began her career in the mental health field as a therapist in an inpatient facility, responsible for the patient's ongoing clinical progress while at the hospital. Her patients varied in ages from 10 to 12-year-old children, to 13 to 17-year-old adolescents, to 18 to 55-year-old adults, and seniors who were in crisis. She worked with patients who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Major Depression, Obsessive Impulsive Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, Alcohol/Drug Dependency, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorder, just to name a few.
Catherine really enjoys getting to know people while working with them on their unique concerns. She offers a very supportive and client-centered environment to therapy, and she loves helping clients move toward their goals by being a partner in their journey towards a renewed self and clinically appropriate treatment. She enjoys working with clients and assigning them research-based homework activities to help them work independently on areas of concerns outside of the sessions. Her areas of specialty include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and other researched based therapeutic approaches that are appropriate to treatment.

Having lived through immigration and personal transitions, I bring empathy and understanding for how complex life changes can impact our sense of self and belonging.
I’m Cecilia, and I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, cultural and family pressures, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, yet want deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier ways of coping. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and build resilience while staying connected to your values and identity.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally aware. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and CBT tools to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we move at your pace while building insight, confidence, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you when you feel ready to begin.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Savannah have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Savannah, GA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
The teenage years are full of sky-high highs and depressing lows. It’s one of those experiences that we probably would never want to relive but look back on with happy nostalgia. Adolescence is hanging out with friends, after school activities, and late nights. But for many young adults, it’s also a time of anxiety and depression. Eating disorders, social anxiety, and suicidal ideations often peak in the teen years.
Add on top of that all the hormonal changes, brain maturation, the stress of figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life (and who you want to be), who you’re going to sit with at lunch, and how you’re setting yourself up for success. It makes sense teenagers often come off as grumpy and moody.
Of course, as a parent, you want to see your child happy and thriving. But there can be a block between parent and teen that is completely natural- it’s hard to know what’s going on in the brain of a teenager! Their brains literally process the world differently than you do.
That’s where Thriveworks Savannah can step in and be of service. We can be a bridge between you and them and walk with them as they grow towards a happier, healthier life. Your love can never be replaced. Some things are resolved more efficiently and faster with the help of a professional. Thriveworks Savannah is here to provide the space for your adolescent to heal and grow so they can live the best life possible, the life they deserve.
Thriveworks Savannah counselors’ main job is to listen and guide. Your adolescent is always the center of a session. No matter what they are going through- emotional, cognitive, or behavioral- we are here for them and you. There is never a problem so big it is without hope or one so small it should be ignored.
Another Thriveworks Savannah guarantee is to be judgement free. Having a space free of judgement can be rare in the mind of an adolescent, and it has a lot of power.
A few of the more common topics discussed in an Adolescent and Teenager Therapy session include:
It can be hard to recognize when your teen is struggling. It’s usually a slow decline to negative mental health, and one that can be easily missed. And once you or they do catch it, what’s the next step? Thriveworks Savannah is here to provide coping mechanisms and support designed to fit your needs and goals. If that’s not enough, we can help you find something or someone that will work. You child can overcome their battles and thrive in a healthy, happy matter.
One of the biggest stigmas surrounding adolescent counseling is that all adolescents go through mood swings or bad behavior. It’s just part of growing up, right? Let the kids be kids. It’s just one heartbreak. Everyone goes through High School.
But the truth is we may never know how far the hurt goes, so it’s important to listen and act upon whatever our teenagers are saying. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek help when possible. Good counseling has never hurt!
Thriveworks Savannah makes sure to individual every session. Every life is unique, and they deserve a unique counseling plan! We do have many tools and approaches that have been proved by research and experience to work well, and we are happy to teach them to you and provide a space where we can practice them.
Some people just need a good listener and some encouragement. Thriveworks Savannah is here for you if that’s what you think you need! Other people have trauma to work through or can’t seem to bust through a particular negative thought pattern. We are here for you too! Some techniques we can practice include:
There will always be hope, no matter how dark the situation is at the moment. Your child deserves the best. Thriveworks Savannah counselors are excited to help them get there.
