About Me

Kerri Ann Sanford, LPC

Hi, I am Kerri Ann Sanford, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of Ellijay Counseling. I have worked in the mental health field since 2016, serving this community and surrounding counties. I have experience working with a wide range of ages and issues. Predominantly, I have worked with adolescents, young adults, and families with a focus of helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma that, oftentimes, is the underlying cause of these symptoms.

I became a counselor because I have a heart for connecting with and helping others. I believe that there is power in the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide an environment where you will feel supported and safe to openly express and explore your thoughts and feelings. I see therapy as a space for you to be able to gain a better understanding of the issues in your life that are holding you back and us working together to address these so that you can live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Outside of the counseling office, you will find me spending time with my family and friends and enjoying the outdoors in these beautiful mountains we call home. I am so glad that you have stopped by to check things out. If you would like to explore further to see if Ellijay Counseling is a good fit for you, head on over to the Services page.
