Individual Therapy, EMDR Intensives & Wellness Groups

Finding the Right Therapeutic Approach
for Your Life

Every journey toward healing looks different. Whether you're seeking consistent individual therapy, focused EMDR intensive treatment, or supportive group therapy, New Path Counseling offers evidence-based care that meets you where you are and supports steady, meaningful change

 Individual Counseling

In-Person Therapy & Online Counseling for Adults

Saint Simons Island & Virtual Throughout Georgia


Think of therapy like tending a garden—you can't just water it once and expect things to bloom. Regular sessions with your counselor create a rhythm that helps you build skills, process emotions, and actually feel the shifts happening. Whether you're meeting online or face-to-face, that steady connection is where real growth takes place.

Research consistently shows that regular counseling—whether online or in-person—significantly improves emotional regulation, resilience, and overall therapeutic outcomes. When you maintain a steady rhythm with a trusted clinician, the work goes deeper. Continuity allows new skills and perspectives to take root and strengthen over time, creating real, lasting change

My hope is to offer you a dependable, encouraging space where you feel truly supported as you take meaningful steps toward healing and greater wholeness.

EMDR Intensive Therapy

Day & Weekend Trauma Treatment

In-Person on Saint Simons Island


Day and weekend EMDR intensives offer a dedicated space for deeper therapeutic work away from the rush of everyday life. These focused sessions use EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and other trauma-informed approaches to help you process trauma more fully, gain clarity, and experience meaningful healing in a shorter timeframe.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based treatment that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows your nervous system to process difficult experiences in a way that feels less overwhelming

EMDR is particularly effective for:
  • Trauma therapy and C-PTSD

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Grief and loss

  • Childhood wounds

  • Persistent negative beliefs about yourself

New Path Counseling Intensive Trauma Therapy Options

  • Two 2-hour EMDR sessions with a restorative break between, allowing you to stay present without feeling rushed.

  • Two 4-hour sessions across two days, with time to enjoy the beauty of the Golden Isles—walk the beach, rest, and refocus between EMDR therapy sessions.

  • Intensives are a good fit for anyone seeking deeper processing, a reset from busyness and overwhelm of daily life, or individuals seeking a focused space to reconnect with themselves and their healing journey in a safe space. 

    If you’re coming in from out of town for your intensive, transportation and accommodations can be arranged from Jacksonville, Brunswick, or Savannah. For added support for wellness therapy, we can recommend optional services through trusted local partners, including neurotherapy, red-light therapy, and other nervous system therapy modalities.

  • Cost is determined after creating your individualized intensive plan. Scholarships are available for those needing affordable therapy near me.
