On this episode I am joined by mental health counselor Anthony J. to discuss domestic abuse, specifically the recent domestic and emotional abuse allegations made by actress, singer, and television host Keke Palmer against her ex boyfriend and baby’s father, Darius Jackson.

Anthony J is renowned as "the unconventional therapist." His philosophy centers around the idea that therapy is a journey to unveil one's authentic self, paving the way for healing, mental well-being, and balance. Anthony employs a versatile therapeutic approach, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of his clients, drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered, and solution-focused brief therapy.

Specializing in African-American LGBTQ issues, couples/family therapy, mood disorders, and substance abuse, Anthony J. creates a secure space for clients to unpack their challenges. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University, Anthony J. anticipates graduating in December. Looking ahead, he envisions embarking on a doctoral journey in counselor education and supervision starting Fall 2024.

Whether conducting sessions in-person or virtually, Anthony is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for his clients' personal growth and transformation.

Anthony is currently a counselor at A.R.P counseling in Conyers, Georgia. A.R.P. proudly offers DUI and drug evaluations, marriage and family counseling, drug and alcohol treatment, and counseling services and therapy for a wide range of issues, including sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and other life transitions. http://www.arpcounseling.com
