Hello, I am Amerial! I'm a licensed mastered social worker with 8 years of providing cognitive, behavioral, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Mississippi College and my master’s in social work from the University of Southern Mississippi. I've worked in many different clinical settings ever since. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through sexual/physical abuse, physical neglect, suicidal ideation, and exploitation. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives. I pride myself in providing a safe and supportive space, to work side by side to overcome traumas and barriers. I specialize in addressing cognitive, behavioral, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.  I am fully committed to listening and offer my best professional practices to help you. I am adaptable, driven, mindful, honest, and confident. You can count on my empathetic and person-centered approach to every conversation we participate in. Thank you for taking the first step and allowing me to participate in this very important journey. Look forward to meeting you!
