Hey there! I am Shella Chichester (SHEL-LA CHEE-CHES-TER) and I am so happy you have begun your journey towards healing! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with 7 years of professional experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and non-judgmental. Therapy should be a safe space to be your true self. Techniques from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy will be used. What does all that mean? Together, we will come up with a plan that best suits YOU!

I am a wife, mother, and dog mom of two. I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling.

Now that you know about me, I hope to get to know you soon. I am proud of you for taking the first step towards change and I look forward to embarking on this journey with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
