Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Ellenwood, GA

Deciding to go to therapy can be an overwhelming experience, but I hope to support and encourage clients on their counseling journey toward self-exploration and growth. As a therapist, I act as a guide for clients to help manage the ups and downs of life by providing healthy ways to cope with these experiences. From a strengths-based, person-centered perspective, I encourage clients to show up to therapy exactly as they are. Empathetically, I strive to build therapeutic rapport and create a trusting, safe environment for clients to share and express themselves authentically without fear of judgment.

Hi! I am a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the field. I enjoy working with children (ages 10 and up), teens, young adults, and adults who feel that they are stuck in place. My goal is to partner with my clients to identify a path forward that includes reducing suffering and moving from merely surviving each day to thriving. I specialize in working with mood disturbances (including mood swings, depression, and passive thoughts of suicide), anxiety, perfectionism, and body image disturbances. I am LGTBQ+ affirming and believe all individuals have the right to live and express themselves authentically.

Can we be honest for a second? This whole life thing is really, really hard. Many of us are overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, and unsure of how to move forward. You deserve to thrive! In therapy, we'll break down limiting beliefs, connect to your true Self, and release the shame & trauma weighing you down. As a queer therapist with ADHD, I love working with neurodivergent and queer clients in their Quarter-life stage! I have experience working with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, panic, depression, grief, body image, and couples (ENM inclusive).

My hope is to help ease your most difficult emotions while addressing the patterns that keep you feeling "stuck" or powerless. Drawing from interpersonal neuroscience (e.g., polyvagal theory) I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing framework for healing and growth so that you can enact changes in your life that are consistent with your most authentic and grounded self. I believe we are all capable of improving the quality of our lives no matter how difficult and persistent problems have been. Seeing my clients evolve through self-compassion and meaningful action is a true privilege and passion for me.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides individual therapy, couples counseling, and psychological/cognitive assessment. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and ages across the lifespan. I utilize a holistic and integrative approach, drawing upon the techniques of skill-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, as well as more theoretical and attachment based therapies like mindfulness and somatic psychotherapy. I address issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation, work life balance, relationship issues, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, identity issues, and personal growth.

My name is Maggie and I am so glad you're here. I believe that therapy can be hard AND It is 100% worth your time. Because it is YOUR TIME and You are worth all of the time energy you spend building a life that lights you up inside. The people I am most able to help will sometimes have a hard time believing that anyone has a life that lights them up inside, that it is even possible to be that excited about waking up. Struggles with self-harm, chronic suicidality, self-esteem, depression, and trauma backgrounds...these folks are the folks that will find a willing and capable ally in me. Black and LGBTQIA+ Lives Matter.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Co-Founder of The Holistic Coalition. Our team of women therapists works together to provide our clients with the tools, support, and resources they need to achieve and maintain optimal wellness. My mission is to guide black women towards emotional wellness, resilience, and self-discovery. With a deep understanding of the unique stressors and experiences faced by black women, I specialize in empowering my clients to overcome stress, anxiety, and depression.

I am a therapist with over 13 years of clinical experience. I hold the belief that we are constantly learning and evolving from our life events. We become stronger as we grow through these experiences and learn more about ourselves. Self-acceptance and self-awareness are key to being able to live freely. Our sessions will be a journey of self-discovery. I will be here to guide and support you during this process. There may be tears, anger, laughter, and other emotions, but it is all part of the process that we will embark on together.

You deserve to feel validated and supported as you are. My goal as a LGBTQIA2S+, neurodiverse, larger bodied therapist, is to provide an inclusive environment for individuals of all sexual identities, genders, abilities, races, ages, and body size. I foster a warm & open space free from judgment. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to walk beside you on your journey. ​My approach to counseling is to support you as a whole person navigate the systems that are affecting you. While much of my work includes art therapy and a holistic approach, we will work together to find what will work best for you.

Hello and welcome! Reaching out is the first step and I am glad you are here. My goal is to create a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be addressed and resolved. I view therapy as a partnership where we can define your therapeutic goals and work together to get there. I have 26 years experience working with individuals, families and groups.
