Therapists in Douglas County, GA

I know that coming to counseling can be a difficult decision but I also believe that it takes more courage to face one's problems than to avoid them. I have a practical, down-to-earth approach - seeking to identify, address, and resolve areas of conflict and obstacles in your life. I am there to support you through the process of self-discovery - creating a safe place to find your strength, your voice and to discover what is true for you.

Deciding to receive therapy shows that you are taking personal responsibility for your own well-being and thusly creating and gaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and your values.
