Hi, I’m Emerson Cook, a male therapist who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Alabama, and I am certified as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. Originally from Mobile, AL, I now reside in Newnan, GA with my best friend and wife, Teresa.

My passion for mental health stems from personal experiences; some of the people I love most have struggled with mental health issues without receiving the help they needed. This inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a difference.

Over the years, I have worked in various settings including psychiatric in-patient units, home hospice, palliative care, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient counseling. I primarily work with men facing men’s issues, anger, work issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and caregiver fatigue. I am dedicated to helping people overcome life’s challenges and thrive.

I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is direct and caring, warm, friendly, and at times, I am able to use humor. I will focus on your individual, unique needs and goals. In my practice, I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

When I’m not working, I enjoy a variety of activities. You can often find me reading, riding my bike, gaming, or volunteering. I love being outside, whether it's spending time on the water or exploring the mountains. I also enjoy going to festivals and markets, and traveling with my wife. I’m always looking for new experiences to enjoy and share.
