Owning Our Story And Loving Ourselves Through That Process Is The Bravest Thing That We Will Ever Do
Everyone goes through challenging times and situations in life. Sometimes emotions that result can feel overwhelming and can prevent us from doing what we need or want to do. Seeking out support is often the first step towards changing old ways of thinking and behaving that can lead to positive change .
Hi, i'm jerry
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use a client-centered approach to work with adults dealing with issues of trauma and abuse, divorce, aging, life transitions, mood disorders including depression, and anxiety. With over 25 years of experience in providing mental health services in both public and private settings, I have a depth of training and expertise to help you deal with issues that are creating obstacles to living the life you want to live. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a focus on skill development to help you manage emotions that often feel overwhelming in negotiating everyday life. I can work with your doctor to assist in monitoring the effectiveness of your psychiatric medications.
I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Emory University and my Masters degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from Georgia State University. I am licensed in both South Carolina and Georgia.
My practice is associated with Bridges Psychiatry whose servies are available as needed via telepsychiatry.

what clients say
- Mental health can be a long dark road and sometimes as individuals we feel the need to navigate it alone. In my circumstance I am glad I met Jerry Stewart. Jerry not only provided a professional service but allowed me to heal how I needed and offered tools that will benefit me forever. Jerry guided me through my path like a navigator who has been on every road possible while allowing me to still ultimately make the decisions. It was at this point I realized, "Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going." Noam Shpancer, PhD
- I have been seeing Jerry for talk-therapy for about 3 years. As a healthcare professional myself, it is extremely difficult for me to open up to someone because I tend to not be able to "drop" my professional persona and relax. However, Jerry has easily become my confidant in the best way. She has a gifted way of knowing when to listen, and when to chime in and provide guidance. In talking with Jerry, I know she truly and genuinely cares about me, and does her best to put herself in my shoes to walk the path to healing alongside me. I am so appreciative of all she has given me, and continues to give me! Thank you so much!
