Therapists in Banks County, GA

If someone took time to listen deeply to you, what do you think would be said? If you could settle your mind, listen to your body, and open your heart, what do you think might happen? If you are looking for a place to explore thoughts, feelings, questions, and the paradoxes of life, you can find that kind of place here. I offer sincere presence, warm companionship and practical guidance through the desert and wilderness of modern life. For over 25 years, I have worked with individuals and couples navigating the deep waters of uncertainty, transition and transformation.

Are you having a hard time finding joy in your life? As human beings we all face different challenges that may lead us to seek growth and healing. Therapy is a place where you learn to grieve, take an honest look at your relationship, evaluate your feelings with work and those around you. My goal as a therapist is to help you accomplish your goals, process trauma, practice compassion towards yourself and others, live free, and understand yourself and those around you.

Life transitions are everywhere. Relationships, family, career, and life send us in new directions. Have you been feeling disconnected from the world and yourself? Are you having difficulty coping with the demands of life? While we can't change the past, we can work together to understand better and resolve challenges in life. Greetings, my name is Dr. Tawanda Spaulding, and I am a Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, a Reiki Master/Teacher, and a Holistic/Intuitive Coach. I take pride in helping others release, heal, and manifest their true desires through exploration, creation, and transformation.

I provide counseling services in an atmosphere of welcoming all people who are seeking help for emotional and spiritual support. It is voluntary and confidential. I provide a wide range of counseling services for individual, couples, adolescents, and adults. I utilize several therapeutic theories to fit each individual's personal growth, which he or she is striving toward. I mainly exercise CBT & DBT for treating anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues.

While working from a mindfulness-based approach, I incorporate teachings from Eastern and Western philosophies while meeting the individual wherever they are in the moment. My holistic approach involves the mind-body connection, neuroscience, neurobiology, quantum theory, polyvagal theory, tapping into the bioenergetic field, and how the brain, mind and body are interrelated. I utilize natural healing techniques such as; breathing exercises, relaxation therapy, visualization, mindfulness meditation, emotional regulation techniques, self-compassion awareness, energy work, and hypnotherapy to facilitate change (Natural Healing).

During the course of our lives we experience many joys and hardships, and along with them the full range of human emotions. Each moment and feeling is an opportunity to better understand self, other, and the world. Your painful feelings may be signals that old wounds need to be acknowledged or that your truth is not being lived fully. If you are currently struggling to cope with life challenges, feeling unfulfilled or seeking personal growth, the therapeutic relationship can provide an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere to explore the body and mind in a safe, comfortable space.

We all seek safety, health and happiness in our lives, sometimes supported by, and other times challenged by, our life experiences, relationships and larger environment.

Finding the right practitioner; when it comes to your emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs; can be challenging because you may not know what you should be considering during this search.

Stress can have a huge impact on the way we function in the various domains of our lives and this can sometimes send us down the rabbit hole of doubt. In order to truly accept yourself you must discover the elements of your becoming.
