Hi, I’m Natasha. I know that entering therapy can be an overwhelming experience. We begin as strangers, and the task at hand is deeply personal to you. I bring a gentle and compassionate approach to my practice. I’m particularly dedicated to working with people who grapple with social anxiety and perfectionism, both of which often stem from early-life experiences. I also have experience providing grief therapy, offering a compassionate space to navigate the complex emotions that accompany loss. Grief can touch every part of our lives, and I’m here to help you process these feelings at your own pace, honoring your journey through it.

We are all living a story, and like any good narrative, our chronicles are filled with various characters, diverse settings, and twists and turns of the plot. Along the way, we face conflict - with those closest to us, with the workings of the world, and within ourselves. We long for understanding, resolution, and realization of the intention and purpose of our design. The human story can be one of freedom and flourishing, but flourishing is only possible if we are free, and breaking free can be challenging and wearisome on our own.

Welcome to The Well! I am a LPC in the state of Georgia and I have experience in the mental health field working with many different populations. I specialize in working with people of color navigating whole wellness as it relates to them. A lot challenges with seeing growth come from the tendency to address the symptoms rather than addressing the source. I help clients find clarity via self exploration and uncovering uncomfortable truths. Here, clients see they have choices to live differently. I might be tough at times but I'm always tender.

Substance Use Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
