FACILITATING TRANSFORMATION
INSIDE OUT
Giving YOU the tools to transform your life
THE INSIDE OUT WAY
The therapeutic relationship is unique in that it is highly personal and, at the same time, a contractual agreement. The outcome of your treatment depends largely on your willingness to engage in this process, which may at times result in considerable discomfort. Remembering unpleasant events and becoming aware of feelings attached to those events can bring on strong feelings such as anger, depression, and anxiety. There is no miracle cure. We cannot promise that your behavior or circumstance will change for the better. Therapy is a process rather than a path. On a path, you start at one place and reasonably expect a certain result at the end. In a process, there is starting, stopping, rewinding, going deeper, pauses, and detours. Once you get to the end, you may realize you have more miles to run on this journey. Your future depends on it. Therapy incorporates exploration, education, and exposure. Full engagement in all aspects is needed for the best results for you.
Vulnerability clarifies vision. Honesty leads to healing. Courage prompts creativity. Transparency leads to transformation.
We aim to help people break the cycles of generational curses, the chains of trauma, the familiarity of destructive behaviors, and provide clarity for self-improvement as a means of changing the world from the inside out with each person we touch.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your relationships, you’re not alone. Sessions with a licensed counselor can offer the safe, structured environment to explore and process what’s occurring with you, a significant other, or even your loved ones.
Hello there! My name is Jermaine Shorter. I graduated from Freed-Hardeman University in Tennessee in 2017 with a Master’s Degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and currently a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with people to facilitate transformation from the inside…out. I’m licensed in Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
I currently work with adults seeking support with identity development, depression, anxiety, grief, sobriety, marriage and family challenges, premarital counseling, and general life transitions. I aim to create an environment that helps people feel comfortable working through challenges, without fear of judgment or bias, using a productive client-centered approach with cognitive-behavioral interventions that are balanced, earnest, and comprehensive.
Direct feedback is given to clients so that they can make better informed decisions about the direction of their lives.
