Anger Management Therapists in Bremen, GA

My name is Michael Charnley and I am licensed in the state of Georgia, LPC010672. Of course, over 26 years I have become quite eclectic in the therapies I use, but mostly I want to meet the client where they are. Let the session feel like a conversation between 2 acquaintances. Since worked in various agencies when I started I was able to experience a lot of different issues, Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management, Self-Esteem Issues, and since my clients were adolescents, Family Issues. I am also comfortable working with dual diagnosis issues attached to Addiction and Abuse issues.

I have worked extensively with adolescents, at risk children, and adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, anger management issues, self-esteem issues, behavioral issues, and substance abuse issues. I also work with children and adults who have suffered trauma and experience symptoms of PTSD, ADHD, and ADD. I sometimes incorporate physical activity into the therapeutic process. This "active therapy" can be especially helpful in working with issues of self esteem, anxiety, depression, and addiction. In addition to "active therapy", I have also found that meditation and mindfulness can be especially helpful for children who have trouble with focus and concentration.

I am only working online virtually with the app Zoom (HIPPA security), available for cell/tablets, it can be accessed directly on your PC. If you send you your email I’ll send you an activation link.

It could be from deep inside them or someone else helping them to see the need. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy and hypnotherapy as primary tools for trauma, PTSD, and adverse childhood events (ACE).

Life can be complicated and distressing. We all have experienced or know someone that has experienced deep emotional wounds that has taken the joy out of life and caused you to feel stuck. Whether it stems from childhood trauma, setbacks in life or pain from an abusive relationship, emotional wounds can cut very deep and have a profound affect on our lives. These experiences can lead to a crisis of faith, being codependent or severe depression. You may wonder will i ever get over this?

I believe in the possibilities for my clients to discover a second life...balance & renewal they couldn’t imagine at the depths of despair/struggle/change. "Maybe we will find a new purpose. Dedicate to an old dream. Maybe we will soften. Meet God. Taste the vast reservoir of our resiliency and strength. Find beauty and meaning in the simple things—like a cup of tea with a loved one while watching a yellow-tinged leaf dance into a puddle. Maybe we will find dancing or painting or writing or art or science

Everyone could use someone to talk with that doesn't have (as my grandmother would say) "a dog in the fight". My ideal client would need someone to listen to them and have the desire to work together with me to create the change they wish to see in their life. Their goal would be to create a lasting change. Since lasting change can take time, my ideal client would be willing to put in the work and time this lasting change will require.

Children and teens go through many changes and often end up having a hard time navigating all of these changes. The changes everyone is faced with today; especially since COVID-19, are causing people to feel lost and uncertain as to how to move forward. Your teen may be struggling with disordered eating, making decisions, and their social network. Your adolescent may be experiencing an increase in stress and anxiety due to the uncertainty of the future. You may be questioning your beliefs; exploring alternative practices. You need additional guidance and exploration to feel better and self-actualize. We can help you with this.
