Chanel Toson, LPC

Enthusiastic! Empowering! Encouraging! Therapist helping youth, adults, and families develop coping skills to successfully manage anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief.

Hi! I am Chanel Toson and I hail from Newport, North Carolina. I am a double Eagle, having graduated from North Carolina Central University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling. I have had the esteemed pleasure of calling Georgia home for the past 9 years and have served in my community in various capacities since planting my roots. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of Creative Touch Counseling Center LLC. I am a Certified Grief Informed Specialist Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor and practice the use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as a treatment modality while working with Children and Adults. I enjoy providing individual and group counseling, as well as psychoeducation workshops teaching skills for the management of Anxiety, Depression, Grief and loss, Self-esteem, and navigating life’s transitions.
I am a woman of faith! I serve as the Youth Pastor at my church providing both biblical and clinical teaching to our Kid Crusaders. Love is at the foundation of all that I do as I believe Mark 12:30-31 teaches us clearly- to Love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to Love our neighbors as ourselves. In this regard- It is my love, passion, and commitment to provide love, care, and support to those who are hurting, loss, feeling stuck and dealing with mental anguish.
By nature, I am a natural cheerleader! My enthusiasm and energy illuminates the room. The clients that I serve receive tangible skills and useful directives that they can utilize in their everyday living. Individuals leave feeling empowered and equipped to address their challenges because they are heard, validated, and supported in session. With that, they can make healthy changes that will impact all spheres of their lives, which is my ultimate goal!
