Alex Thomson, MS, LAPC, NCC, CTP – a Therapist in Acworth, Georgia

Hello! I’m Alex, and I’m a licensed associate professional counselor (LAPC) in Georgia, a national certified counselor (NCC), and a certified trauma professional (CTP). I’m also a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). With my associate license, I see clients professionally under the supervision of Jennifer Wells, LPC, CPCS (LPC: 008961, CPCS:4183).

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Mercer University and my bachelor’s in psychology from Florida State University. My mental health career began as a clinical intern, working with individuals at an outpatient psychiatric facility. I currently work with clients at Exhale Counseling Services in Acworth, Georgia.
