I have over 10 years experience in counseling, specializing in career counseling, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have worked in multiple settings, including military bases, higher education, and private practice.

My education background includes a BA from Wake Forest University in Psychology, graduate work at Boston College, and a Master's in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University. I have training in cognitive behavioral interventions, and meet each client as an individual with unique experiences and concerns. I employ "homework" assignments between sessions, and use humor to facilitate healthy perspectives.

I usually see clients on Friday and Saturday mornings, and utilize video sessions when appropriate. Please email me at jstanford@samaritanatlanta.org to set up a session, or call (404) 228-7777.
