In this episode, Shavonne sits down with Kelly Phillips, MDiv and Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Staff Therapist at The Summit Counseling Center in Johns Creek, GA. 

ABOUT Kelly Phillips, MDiV, LCSW

Drawn to the intersection of spirituality and mental health, Kelly found the utmost joy in listening to people’s stories.  She began her career as a student youth pastor and later worked as a community-based mental health therapist. Prior to joining The Summit, she worked in private practice in Brookhaven, GA. She has had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, and families dealing with relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, addiction, and various personal concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and other behavioral challenges. As part of her work, she is committed to working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ or anyone questioning/exploring their gender identity.  

Kelly utilizes an integrative approach with her clients to explore the negative effects of stressful or traumatic life experiences that get in the way of achieving their goals.  She has advanced training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices. Through her work with children and adolescents, she has found that understanding attachment and the caregiver relationship is vital to helping families function more effectively. Caregivers are incorporated throughout the course of therapy. 

A lifelong learner, she attends many continuing education workshops each year and reads books and professional journals related to mental health, therapy, nutrition, and wellness.  She has also facilitated grief support groups and co-presented trauma-informed workshops to other mental health professionals.

Presenting a sneak peek of the newest show in Chat With Leaders Media Network, Future Health NOW hosted by Shavonne Reed. 

Every day, there are public health crises threatening the livelihoods of our families and communities. While the novel coronavirus has taken center stage, there are several other escalating issues impacting our society, not limited to: mental health, generational poverty, inadequate nutrition access, and rising healthcare costs that widen the opportunity chasm.

However, there’s still so much hope! 

Our youngest consumers, Gen Z, are much more aware of the health risks of fast food, stress, sugary drinks, various medications, and social media than previous generations. This awareness has been leading them further away from choices that negatively impact their overall health.

🤔 What if we...

• awakened to solutions for a healthier future?
• became better guardians of our mind, body, and soul?
• helped save the lives of our loved ones before losing them too early?
• poured into and empowered the healthiest future generations to follow?

🤔 How will the future health of our families and communities look, if we start NOW?

Subscribe to this podcast and join our host, Shavonne Reed, Founder of OPUA Agency, as she embarks on a journey of answering these questions by having crucial conversations with today’s top public health leaders who will edify us all on how to increase lifespans, pay less over time with preventative healthcare, lead more active lifestyles, and build a more sustainable tomorrow… starting today!

Together… we can become more Optimistic People, Unified for Awareness that leads to action and better peace of mind towards the livelihood of our future generations.

This is Future Health NOW!
