Welcome to a Space for Growth and Balance! Hi, I’m an LCSW providing virtual therapy throughout Georgia. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with college students to support them through the transitions and challenges of college life. Whether you’re starting college, navigating its ups and downs of a new normal, anxious,l depression, or preparing for life after graduation, I’m here to help you find balance, clarity, and confidence. I know prioritizing yourself can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. As a wife, mother, and professional, I understand how easy it is to put your needs last. But here’s the truth: investing in yourself is not only worthwhile but essential for creating meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to provide a convenient, safe, and compassionate virtual space where you can focus on your personal growth. Using approaches grounded in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I’ll meet you where you are, tailoring our work together to your unique needs. Whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating relationship challenges, I’m here to help you take small, meaningful steps toward the change you’re seeking. During our sessions, you’ll have a space where you can be heard and validated without judgment. You’ll leave feeling a sense of relief, empowered with tools to navigate life’s challenges, and clearer about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Over time, these insights will help shift your perspective, improve your mood, and bring the change you want to see in your life. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning for a fresh start, I believe a new normal is possible. Together, we can practice skills that promote balance and resilience. Let’s work toward a life where your needs are valued, your boundaries respected, and your path to wellness supported. Change is possible. Let’s take the first step together.
Clients that I work with might fit into these categories: - Adults ages 18-35 - Queer - Trans - ADHD - Religious Trauma - Anxiety - Depression - Burn out/Stress - People Pleasing

Hello! My name is C Durden (she/her/hers), and I work at the Getting Real Counseling Center. A little bit about GRCC: Getting Real Counseling Center provides individual and relational counseling services to those who need it most. Our practice is a safe space to talk through your daily struggles and unlock your true potential. We pride ourselves in offering a place to talk without interruption, judgement, and perception of others getting in your way. Talk therapy can help you identify what you really want and need, help uncover the values and beliefs that drive you, your relationships, and your world view. Specialties: Our practice is happy to address anything that you believe is holding you back from living your best life, but we specialize in services catered to eating disorders (ED) and body image, LGBTQ+ issues, self-injury, trauma (emotional, physical, and religious), neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism Spectrum), kink, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), and relationships. Getting Real Counseling Center is the perfect place to talk and get assistance in developing a plan to change your life for the better. A little bit about me specifically: When you and I are in the room together, my goal is for you to be able to be your authentic self—including all of the grit, messiness, and beauty that comes with it. I work from an integrated perspective that incorporates narrative, feminist, queer, and existential lenses, but I am also able to adapt my methods to bring in other tools to best serve the specific issues at hand. I believe in a balance of compassion and challenge when working with clients. The challenge is that this is vulnerable work—it can be scary, harder before it gets easier, but I don’t expect you to work alone. You and I will work together, and there is no topic that is too big or too taboo for this space. I will strive to cultivate a trusting relationship between us so that you feel safe bringing in whatever you need to. My passion areas include sex therapy, gender identity work, grief and loss, and navigating interpersonal relationships. While I am open to working with all clients, the communities I love to center on include LGBTQIA+ communities, older adults, men and masculine of center clients, kink communities, and non-monogamous clients. My wish is for us to feel big emotions together, and face what we need to head on. Often in my sessions, there can be crying, but there can also be laughter, a good amount of swearing (if you’re comfortable!), and the shared wonder of growth. I am excited to potentially join you on your journey, and cannot wait to get to know you! I take Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, Cigna, and Aetna insurance.
I’m a first-generation daughter who grew up learning to navigate life’s biggest transitions without a guidebook. From a young age, I was fiercely independent, facing adversity head-on and figuring things out as I went. That experience taught me the deep value of healing, and it shaped my belief that no one should have to struggle alone. I know what it feels like to be lost in the process of change when the road ahead is unclear and support feels out of reach. That’s why I’m passionate about being a therapist. I see the courage it takes to reach out, and I honor the resilience that lives in every person I meet. My work is rooted in creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to find their way forward, no matter where they’re starting from.
College can be tough, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—but you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a supportive space to talk, figure out what’s going on, and find practical ways to feel better and manage stress. Whenever you are ready, schedule an appointment.
I collaborate with you to assist you in achieving your personal, therapeutic goals. Along the way, I focus on supporting you on your life journey from a strengths-based perspective. In order to change, you need to acknowledge what you do well, which we can discover together. It is important to notice the positive aspects of life while also addressing the things you wish to change. In my practice, I use evidence-based interventions (CBT, IFS-informed and expressive arts) and trauma-informed mindfulness practices. I have a background in psycho-education (to offer understanding of why we do what we do and skills for meaningful change), somatic (body) awareness, and a certification in spirituality integrated psychotherapy, which I draw on to assist you in living congruently and authentically in the life you are called to live.
Finding the courage to begin therapy is no small thing—and I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. I’m Melonie Singleton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist who believes that healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore, curious enough to grow, and brave enough to begin again. I specialize in working with children and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that hold you back, strengthen your inner compass, and create space for healing, joy, and possibility. In our first few sessions, you can expect me to ask many questions to get to know you—your past, present, and hopes for the future. My approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices designed to meet you exactly where you are. Therapy is an adventure inward—a journey toward the truest version of yourself. If you’re ready to start charting your own path to healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
There is a part of me that feels extremely anxious. There is a part of me that gets really sad and down at times. There is a part of part of me that can hardly get out of bed some days. There is a part of me that needs to take care of everyone and everything. There is a part of me that wants to check out and escape from all the responsibilities I have. There is a part of me that thinks about dying and a part of me that wants to live. There is a part of me that …. How many times have we all had these feelings or thoughts that come over us that seem conflicting at times but represent how we are feeling in the moment. Understanding our parts even those that are contradictory, being able to validate and accept our parts, and creating balance and space for our parts mentally can be attained through therapy. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is designed to allow us to heal from our pain, hurt, and fears by managing the parts that have been created out of our traumas. We have all experienced trauma in some form, and we all have parts that have been borne from those traumas. Parts that help us manage our daily lives and parts that may tend to disrupt our lives, but all of these parts are valid and serve some self-protective purpose and can be managed once they are understood.
