Suffering and struggles are part of life. It gets hard to see in the storms of life; it gets cloudy, dark, and murky down here. We want to see things and engage them the way God does, and He gives us meaning and purpose. Assisting others in telling their story as part of God's story is Carolyn's desire.

"If we don't transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it," Richard Rohr.

Carroll’s path to professional counseling is not best represented by a straight line. Rather he believes God has orchestrated three separate and distinct careers – as a business person, staff pastor and now as a counselor - in order to prepare him to help others navigate life’s ever-
present challenges. A native Jacksonian, Carroll honed his counseling skills while serving on the staff of Pinelake church in Madison and formalized his counseling education at Liberty University, culminating in the completion of his master’s degree in Professional Counseling.

As a counselor, Carroll is especially drawn to those in crisis – marriage and family conflict, career, grief, depression, anxiety, substance abuse – but is also passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the less traumatic moments of life that seem to be a part of our everyday existence. He believes his life experience, in conjunction with his personal faith and professional training, have equipped him to be utilized by God to help others in pain.

Away from the counseling office, Carroll loves to spend time with his family, including his wife of over forty years, Sharon, two married children and multiple grandchildren. Additionally, he is a licensed general aviation pilot and enjoys cruising around in the sky.

Hello! My name is Heath Ferguson. I am the husband to Emily, father to MG and Locke, a licensed professional counselor, a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), board certified chaplain & pastoral counselor, a licensed and ordained Southern Baptist pastor, and an adjunct professor of psychology at Belhaven University. I am also a recovering addict with over sixteen years clean and sober. I have spent over a decade serving as a chaplain at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center where I gained extensive experience working with patients, families of patients, and caregivers from every area of healthcare. My specializations are in addiction, grief, compassion fatigue, burnout, and family systems. I came into counseling drawn by a desire to be more capable in helping to provide care for those that are suffering from the impact of the events that all people are affected by, whether it be catastrophic loss or just the wear and tear of life’s struggles on the individual, the family, or the community. I believe that my own life experiences, coupled with my years of work within the lives of those that I have counseled and cared for, make me ready to help others in their pain, loneliness, and suffering.

When I am not counseling clients, I love spending time with my family, serving as an elder in my church, getting back home to the old farm place, and enjoying travel; whether it be family road trips across the country or trips to baseball games. Emily and I love getting to spend time discovering the world with our boys. It really is so much fun seeing the world light up their senses.

I truly love helping people discover just how precious and important they are to the world around them. I do not like to see people suffer. I know what that feels like. I believe that the client has, within himself or herself, the ability to find his or her way to wellness when they are given the right person to accompany them on that way. Moreover, I have discovered that when the client is given the opportunity to safely explore his or her self and how they relate to the world around them that they arrive at healthier understandings how they exist in their worlds. I have found that people need to find that congruence with their environments in order to heal, grow, and develop self-awareness. I have seen that modeling good relationships with healthy boundaries in the therapeutic environment can give clients an opportunity to explore parts of themselves that they might have kept themselves isolated from while also giving them a readiness and courage in their other relationships.

If you are struggling within your relationships, your ability to find joy in your surroundings, or just need to talk to someone about your pain, reach out and make an appointment. I believe that things can get better. Call today, it’s time to get to work.

My clinical approaches consist of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems therapy. I believe therapy is a tool that can empower people to tell their story, understand themselves, and make a difference in their lives.

All events are blessings given to us to learn from.”
