About Rodrecus Atkinson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 11 years of experience working in the counseling and mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, behavioral disorders, OCD, ADHD, and many more.

My therapeutic approach is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have an adaptable and versatile therapeutic style that allows me to meet the client where he/she are at in there therapeutic journey. My therapeutic style incorporates transparency, openness, honesty, humor, humility, and interaction. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoiding stigmatizing labels.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
