Lesbian Therapists in Acworth, GA

I would describe my style as active and directive, focusing on assisting clients to gain insight while utilizing cognitive behavioral strategies to help bring about desired change. I enjoy dialogue and collaboration with my clients. I do recommend readings and give homework assignments as appropriate. I believe education is a major component of the counseling process. I work with individuals, couples and families ages 18+ addressing substance abuse/addiction, relationship issues, anger management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitional issues and gay/lesbian issues.

Are you looking to find resolution and inner peace? I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who want to improve their quality of life, find resolution with long-standing issues and current life challenges, and feel a sense of inner peace. By providing support with insight and honest, non-judgmental feedback I help clients address current challenges and long-standing issues. Together with the client I work to build one's strengths and achieve life goals.

Are you struggling to get through your days? Juggling work & home while barely being able to get out of bed & out of your head? Are you feeling depressed, heartbroken, overwhelmed or exhausted? If so, you are in the right place. Taking the initial step towards counseling can be scary. It isn’t always easy going out of your comfort zone & seeking help. I am glad you are here. I enjoy working with clients who are challenged by unresolved trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders & identity issues. I utilize a variety of techniques including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing & EMDR to challenge your insecurities & self doubt.

Hi. I'm Marquita and I've been a social worker for 15 years and counting. I strive to help my clients navigate this challenging journey we know as life. Sometimes on this journey, we experience things such as anxiety, depression, life changes, set backs, and other bumps in the road, but what I've learned is that we can almost always navigate through or around them and keep on going. Today's challenges can be very complex and what I love to do is help my clients tap into the talents and strengths they already have to remind them just how great they are. You can do this!

Many individuals find themselves struggling with how to get through difficult life events. Maybe you find yourself turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms through the use of drugs, alcohol, or relationships. These events may make it difficult to do even the smallest of tasks, like getting out of bed in the morning or eating. Sometimes it may manifest into not wanting to leave the house, and being fearful of social situations. Taking the first step towards therapy is taking the first step towards bettering yourself and the quality of your life.

Adolescents go through challenging moments that can make it difficult for them to cope with their struggles. Whether it be from feelings of stress related to school pressure, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, relational problems, or struggles with their identity. I like to provide a safe environment for adolescents and teens to be able to communicate their emotions in order to help them lead healthier lives.

"If my aim is to prove I am enough, the project goes on to infinity; because the battle was already lost on the day I conceded the issue was debatable." ~Nathaniel Branden. As an experiential therapist, I "name the elephant in the room" & help clients navigate obstacles denying them pure joy in living. I work with clients to get out of their own way, embrace their power, choose "gutz over fear," & not let their worst enemy be between their own two ears. My clients learn the power & responsibility of choice, self-compassion when self-esteem fails, respect in accountability, grace when failing forward, and celebration & love of self.

We are not here on this Earth to live life day to day, to go through the daily grind of life just getting by. Life is not about surviving, it is about thriving. Just surviving can leave us feel like we're floating through life. On a high seed bullet train, with life blurring past us. This can bring about depression, anxiety, addictions, and a missing sense of purpose in life. Finding who we are and our purpose can transform us into truly living life. My goal is to create a space for you to develop awareness, find your purpose, and discover how you can live that out daily. I look forward to walking alongside you in this journey.

I believe that everyone deserves to have a supportive environment in which to explore their problems and discover creative solutions. Realizing that you need help, and seeking it out, can be a daunting experience. I strive to provide a safe and compassionate collaborative relationship to assist every client with their personal process of change and with achieving their goals.

My practice is based on the relationships I develop with my clients. How you and I work together evolves out of the process of getting to know one another. We learn to trust, to listen, not judge, and to respect each others' choices. Our initial focus will be to help you identify your areas of concern and examine those areas. As our relationship deepens, we will focus on what you are ready to work on -- when you are ready to work on it. Today, you are looking at options for change; I would like to help you consider your path.

Relationships are hard work. You desire to be the individual that you are, but also try to figure out how to overcome the changes that being in a relationship can bring. Not all relationships are created equal. I want to help you cultivate a healthy relationship (whatever that may look like for you) as well as encourage a healthy relationship with yourself. I desire to provide you with a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you feel safe to discuss your difficulties. It will be an honor for me to accompany you on your journey of realizing your potential, whether it be individually or in your relationship.
