Terrance Putter

Pre-Licensed Professional, MA

Practicing in our Marietta office.

I am a compassionate and ethically driven mental health professional with a deep commitment to supporting diverse populations, particularly children and young people in care. My work is guided by integrity, inclusivity, and a passion for creating safe, empowering therapeutic spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive.

My professional journey began in the U.K., where I studied and worked as an Integrated Person-Centered Existential Counselor. During this time, I focused on supporting a wide range of populations, including individuals reestablishing themselves into society and children in social care, particularly those navigating adoptions. My role involved providing tailored, person-centered support to help clients rebuild their lives, fostering resilience and a sense of belonging through empathetic, humanistic approaches.

To further enhance my skills, I later worked in the U.S. as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I developed a strong foundation in ethical, evidence-based behavioral interventions. This role deepened my expertise in supporting individuals diagnosed with autism and ADHD, allowing me to design and implement behavior support plans rooted in positive reinforcement, flexibility, and person-first care. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for creating tailored interventions that honor each individual’s unique needs.

Currently, I provide one-on-one therapy to clients, focusing on fostering independence, resilience, and self-worth through strengths-based interventions. Additionally, I lead a bi-monthly therapeutic group for neurodiverse individuals, centered on social-emotional learning, emotional regulation, and peer engagement. This group offers a nurturing space for participants to connect, express themselves, and build essential interpersonal skills. I’ve also integrated community-based social engagement activities, creating structured opportunities for real-world interaction that bridge therapy with everyday experiences.

My cross-cultural experience, gained through working in both the U.K. and the U.S., has enriched my understanding of the complex challenges faced by individuals navigating trauma, developmental differences, and emotional dysregulation. I collaborate closely with families, schools, and multidisciplinary teams to advocate for mental wellness and inclusivity, ensuring my interventions are culturally sensitive and impactful. My goal is to continue developing person-centered approaches that promote lifelong growth, empowering every individual I support to lead a fulfilling and resilient life.
