Lesbian Therapists in Dallas, GA

I work to create a safe, warm, nurturing, and affirmative environment for my clients. I believe that everyone is capable of the change they seek to achieve while also being compassionate to how challenging roadblocks (ex. trauma) can be on our life journey. I have worked in addiction recovery and the mental health field for almost a decade. This includes working with domestic violence, women’s/masculinity issues, depressive/anxious disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, and substance misuse. Asking for help is a healthy choice and everyone has unique needs. If it sounds like I meet your needs please reach out to me.

To provide individuals and families with the counseling, guidance, services, and information they need to strengthen themselves and their relationships. I am dedicated to preserving independence, promoting mental and physical well-being, and protecting the rights and dignity of individuals and families within my community.

Every journey in life begins with a choice. Sometimes, we are faced with challenging choices involving family, children, job, sexual identity disclosure, or mental health issues. When confronted with these situations, we often get stuck and we find ourselves feeling confused or indecisive, or just plain tired and overwhelmed. These kinds of life experiences can affect our mood, mental well-being, physical health and emotional stability. They can shake our confidence and self-esteem.There is hope! I am, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years serving the needs of couples, families and children. My experience

Going through life existing but not living, screaming on the inside but displaying a different image on the outside can feel overwhelming. At times, you've felt extremely fragile; as if the pressure of one more thing could break you into a million pieces. Over the years, I've worked with clients who have struggled; going through the motions and taking every opportunity to numb out their feelings for a moment of peace. It's not easy being different and it's definitely not easy using your voice. It actually may feel very lonely, conflicting, and heavy at times. There's no path forward unless you truly know who you are.

"Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives." (Unknown) I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the spectrum in terms of age, gender, ethnicity and presenting challenges. I am particularly passionate about working with teens and adults. Offering a holistic approach by helping you live a more impactful and purpose-driven life. Working with you along the journey is two-fold. I am here to empower my clients to promote and uplift their own well being, and while doing so, to perpetuate healing both individually and across generations.

Hello and welcome to The Conscious Spot! Thank you in advance for making the choice to begin your journey of self-discovery. Being vulnerable takes courage and is where healing begins. My goal is to develop a collaborative and trusting partnership by using the art of Mindfulness. Mindfulness is awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a sustained and invested way, on purpose and in the moment. Any change that comes in your life, will be of your own effort, how liberating is that!! Your confidentiality/privacy are always honored. I am committed to help you with continual growth in your daily living to positive daily functioning!

I believe our relationships provide the most important, and often the most difficult, ways to learn about ourselves and others. Healing damaged relationships and developing intimacy requires honesty, self-esteem, trust and hard work. As we age, life transitions like career changes, divorce after 50 and planning for retirement bring new opportunities and anxieties. Get the support and encouragement you need to confront the root causes of the behaviors that trigger anxiety, depression, fear and addiction. Together we will develop a plan that is clear, focused and achievable - so that you can become the person you truly want to be.

I specialize in working with preteens, teens, and adults through parenting issues, anxiety, stress management, infertility, grief and loss, self-esteem, trauma, and military family life. I am passionate at working with clients, where ever they are in their life journey. I incorporate a systemic approach to therapy that considers individual and family issues from a holistic perspective with goal orientated outcomes.

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.

Has your life lost meaning? Have you been feeling trapped, stuck, directionless, and utterly confused? I bet you've said to yourself, " I'm tired. I'm angry and I don't want to do this anymore!"

As a Licensed Professional Counselor my goal is to provide a calm, safe and non-judgmental environment where one can address and deal with situations and issues that are causing pain. I believe that counseling is an active process that requires the client and the therapist to work together to achieve specific goals throughout the counseling process. I help clients find insight into themselves and assist them in building skills that help make managing life easier and more positive.

Are you struggling with trauma or abuse from your past? Are you grappling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or PTSD? Are you having a hard time handling a recent event, life change, or just life stressors? Sometimes it can be hard to believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. However, everyone has the capacity to heal. I would love to help you break free from old patterns, unhealthy or toxic bonds, or fears and beliefs that are holding you back. My aim is to help you make changes and create a new chapter so that you can have a joyful and balanced life.

*Currently accepting new patients* Throughout my work in community mental health, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of client populations including individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance abuse. I also conduct independent clinical drug and alcohol evaluations.

Your trauma does not define you. You define you. You are the author of your own book. It is possible to heal once and for all, regardless of your adverse experiences. Now is the time to re-write your narrative! There are challenges in life that may cause you to get off course, but I believe everyone has the ability to overcome these obstacles and get their lives back on a track for success. Everyone’s journey is different. I pride myself in offering a safe space where transformation & renewal can take place. Healing and Restoration can start here!

Life can have many challenges. It is okay to need a little help navigating through obstacles. Allow me the opportunity to assist you on that journey of managing your emotions. I have a passion for helping people manage anxiety, depression, anger and relationship issues. I strive to assist people with navigating negative challenges and turning them into positive alternatives and I would be honored to assist you through navigating your journey. You got this and I believe in you. Let’s trust the process and detach from the outcome.

My approach to healing is holistic; that is, I encourage clients to look at all areas of their lives, (physical, spiritual, emotional, and social) and do my best to assist them toward achieving the balance that I believe can promote long term, overall health. I believe that achieving this balance is an individualized process. My clients appreciate that I offer a ton of support and make them feel safe in therapy, yet don’t shy away from giving direct feedback and ideas, or challenging a thought or belief that might be getting in the way of progress.
