Narrative Therapists in 30311

Hello, my name is Charlene and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with teens and young adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am a certified trauma specialist and trained in Restorative Retelling. I help those who are survivors of a violent loss (losing someone to suicide or murder), and those who are struggling with navigating their emotions and cope with their traumatic past. I specialize in helping individuals heal from their childhood trauma to live a life that they love!

I work with clients who struggle with finding life fulfillment by exploring their personal values, goals, and what they find meaningful. During this process I also help them with working on achieving their goals by identifying barriers, and exploring ways to navigate through life's challenges. Some of these barriers may be depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, while other barriers may be external or a combination thereof. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with grief and loss issues.

People seek out therapy for different reasons, & I believe it's ultimately because of a desire to live at their highest potential. Life is a journey filled with experiences that can impact us in both good & bad ways; sometimes leaving us to decide if we are living a life full of joy, peace, love, purpose, or personal meaning.

I am Michelle King. I am a clinical social worker in both states of Georgia and Vermont. I work from a positive psychotherapy framework. Therapy is in pursuit of change and that is an active pursuit and not passive so, we will work together during sessions. My goal is for you to leave the session having an understanding, a clear mind, and a plan. I am a positive psychotherapist that approaches treatment with kindness, compassion, and no judgment. My goal in sessions is for you to be able to trust and speak freely while processing and coming up with a plan. My desire is to help.

I have over a decade of diverse experiences working with young children, adolescents, and adults providing an array of services. My ideal client will take advantage of my professional experiences that reach across educational, psychological, behavioral, judicial and social spectrums. This client will see the benefits of my services such as counseling, psychotherapy and/or coaching or consulting, supervising, crisis management, pre-trial diversions, trainings and workshops. Issues addressed: goal setting, stress/anger management, grief, relationships, identity, family of origin, parenting skills, family violence, depression, anxiety, faith based and addictions such as substance, and shoplifting for a few.

Due to ongoing concerns with COVID-19, I am now offering sessions via phone & confidential video platforms. Stay Safe & Connected. Re-discover your natural strength & deep rooted source of power. Give yourself permission to do you. Overcome stress & enjoy your daily challenges. Explore early attachment & its impact on your current self-view. Improve your relationships. Rewrite self-script.

Seeking balance? I am a trained social worker who works with women, men, couples, and adolescents. You may struggle with situations and issues in your life including but not limited to coping with strong emotions, thinking poorly of yourself, a traumatic event or experiencing frustration in relationships. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process in which one is able to reflect on thought processes, emotional states, roles in a system, and ineffective behaviors while in a safe and secure environment. I try to create a collaborative alliance with my clients that allows them to understand themselves better and find balance.

It takes extreme strength to admit our need for help. It is my honor and privilege to walk alongside you through your highest and lowest points. I tailor my approach to your unique, individual needs and background. I desire to be a place where you feel nurtured, unconditionally accepted, safe, and supported. I work with clients in the midst of life and family transitions and relationship distress. I also enjoy treating children, adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, and spirituality issues.

Doing life is hard, especially when trying to manage your home, navigate the demands of work, meet the needs of family.... all while trying to fit in Me-Time (What's That, Tiffany?) I get it... all to often, women are doing all of this, through hurt, disappointment, previous trauma and so much more. You don't have to go at it alone... Let me help you process, find healing and WHOLEness.

Feelings of being, “stuck in mud or standing in quicksand”, in the sense of helplessness, feelings of being lost, unheard, unseen, or hopelessness? Masking your sadness with a smile while in the company of others or letting your extrovert behaviors come out, but in reality, it’s just a mask that covers your true thoughts and feelings. We often are unable to see just how much power we hold over our own lives that affects change in our day-to-day living. Our very own internal thoughts can sink us so far in depression that we forget how to live our lives to the fullest, There is nothing wrong with seeking help.
