Lesbian Therapists in Cartersville, GA

Hello. Looking for a professional who can help you sort out the issues causing you pain, fear, worry, anxiety, grief, & confusion? My practice, Strategies For Life, is located in Cartersville GA. We are conveniently located and just a short drive from the many of the surrounding communities. I have 20+ years of experience in counseling to help people to eliminate emotional distress, find fulfillment and resolve personal challenges. I hold specialization certifications because I have found that different concerns often overlap each other and this allows me to easily transition with my clients from one area to another.

Are you awake at night again thinking, "What am I going to do?" Do you have difficulty waking up in the morning? Are you feeling stuck with grief, anxiety, depression, and feeling lost? Do you look in the mirror and cringe? Are the typical losses in life more than you can handle? How much longer do you want to suffer? Help is available.I am trained in professional counseling, play therapy, and marriage and family therapy. My best training though is my own personal therapy and just living a long life full of experience. I may be able to help you and if I can't, I will help you find another therapist.

I enjoy the work I do with individuals and couples, as we explore their journey. I see counseling as coming along side the client and exploring their "right answers" as they trudge their road to happy destiny. I am thrilled as I see clients thrive and change as they explore their opportunities. I have 40 plus years of experience in the treatment of adolescents and adults. I have worked in both residential treatment and community based programs.

I am a professional licensed counselor with over 8 years experience in the state of Georgia as a mental health therapist. I have worked in many areas of mental health with individuals who experience/experienced anxiety/panic attacks, OCD, depression, trauma, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, physical/sexual abuse, parenting issues, relationship problems, various addictions (drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc.), self-harming behaviors, suicide attempts/ideations, oppositional defiance disorder, etc.

Life happens...There is no "money back guarantee" on relationships or experiences or even on thoughts or feelings. When things seem "off" or aren't going as they should, we have to figure out ways to adapt or cope with each situation. I hope to help clients build solid foundations in self-acceptance as well as in their relationships with their partners/spouses, children and parents, siblings, and in all avenues of their lives, so that they can adapt to each situation in a most healthy and positive manner. Personal growth is the key to positive change.

You can do this. I have faith in you and I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to heal. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and loss. I enjoy helping teens, adults and families navigate life's stressors. A positive environment that promotes insight and empowerment is the foundation of my practice. The nature of therapy requires a strong alliance which I strive to create with my clients. I also offer Domestic Violence group counseling and Alcohol and Drug evaluations and referrals for recovery sites.

I truly feel that individuals don't care what you know until they know that you care. I try to meet individuals where they are in life and treat them unconditionally as well as with respect at all time. A person isn't going to focus on therapy if no electricity or food is within the home. I will provide you with community resources which can assist with your basic needs so that you're focused and ready for what therapy contributes to your life. I offer what you need to change, not what you want to hear. Teamwork approach!

There are many modalities for many people because we are all different. Each person & situation has a uniqueness and needs to be treated respectfully as such. I approach counseling, by way of collaboration, between the therapist (myself) & you (the client) in a safe space. It is you that is giving me permission to be on this journey with you.

Hey! I'm Talia Auslin, and I'm an open minded, empathetic, and supportive therapist with 9 years of experience in the mental health field. In times when you might be feeling alone, stuck, or in a negative headspace, it’s so important to have a safe space to be able to share your thoughts and feelings - especially with a professional who is willing to help, support, and validate your current reality. If that is what you’re looking for, then I am your person. When working with you, my goal is to meet your individual needs by using a non-judgmental, person-centered, multicultural, and holistic approach.

I enjoy helping people understand the relationship they have with others, and with themselves. Most of my career has been dedicated to working with individuals who have serious mental illnesses. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clients, regardless of their illness, background, or lifestyle. I am an experienced clinical supervisor, and have trained several therapists who are now fully licensed. I offer supervision in person, or via. teleconferencing. My rates are very competitive. Details are available on my website.

We all struggle with the inevitable trials of being human. You may be a parent or partner in a significant relationship struggling with connection, and in need of both practical and emotional support. At times, feelings of anxiety, apathy, and depression arise, and feelings of disconnection and loneliness can take hold. For others, we may be at a crossroads in our life, brought about by divorce, relocation, caregiving for a loved one, or a desire to have a bigger impact in our communities and the world. We may be asking ourselves BIG questions, “what’s next”, “what should I do”, and “what do I want from life”.

Whether facing long-term challenges or brief struggles, we all need connection and understanding. In my experience, a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist is the best agent of change in therapy. I often use cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic concepts (along with a healthy dose of humor) but everyone is different so the approach should match your personality and needs. I would love to help you increase understanding of yourself and others so your life can be more meaningful and satisfying!
