Therapists in Fort Oglethorpe, GA

I have known since I was a teenager that I wanted to be a social worker. It was when I was 14 that an LCSW was able to connect with me and help me through a dark depression and the amplified anxiety that often goes along with it. It has been my passion since then to provide that same help to others. I have 15 years of experience working in the mental health field, 10 of those as an LCSW. I have experience with individual therapy and group therapy modalities, both on an outpatient and an inpatient basis.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. It is my goal to help these individuals work through struggles with attachment/relationships, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and more at their own pace. As a neurodivergent, I am passionate about helping others learn how to function with and to love their own neurodivergence. I also enjoy working with parents (biological, foster, adoptive) who want to better their relationship, communication, understanding, and/or attachment with their children. I work diligently to maintain a safe and affirming space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their families.

I aspire to use my skills and knowledge as a mental health therapist to help people overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. I will work with my clients to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where all ideas are valued and respected and where my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions while working to make positive changes and achieve goals. There are many different treatment types available for mental health, and what works best for one person may not work for another. It's important to find a treatment that feels right for you.

My approach combines therapeutic techniques with a warm, empathetic style. Together, we'll unravel the roots of your issues and develop personalized strategies to build resilience. I'm not just here to listen; I'm here to equip you with practical tools that work in real life. Imagine a life where you confidently conquer challenges and navigate transitions.

As an individual committed to your well-being, I offer personalized counseling to guide you through life's challenges. Together, we can explore strengths, navigate difficulties, and foster a positive mindset. I can provide deep understanding of diverse challenges, offering proven strategies for positive change. Step into a safe space where your thoughts are heard without judgment. My commitment to providing this safe space ensures you can explore, express, and heal. Take the first step toward a more fulfilling life because your path to a happier, healthier life can begin here. Let's embark on this journey together.

Are you between 20 & 50 and living with a nagging feeling that your life "could" be different? Do you feel like you've done everything you're supposed to do, but things still don't seem right? Are you drowning in "should's" instead of loving your life? You just want More, but don't know where to start...Despite all your efforts, you're ready for something different. Something real. If thinking about your life is leaving you anxious, lost, exhausted, irritated, feeling alone. Know that life can be different. You can reach a place of balance, equilibrium and growth sooner than you might think possible.

It takes tremendous courage to choose to walk through difficult places on the path towards healing, and it takes even more courage to invite a counselor to walk with you. I consider it an honor to join with my clients as they face the challenges in life, whether it be wounds from the past , struggles with managing mood and thoughts, issues with relational functioning, sexuality or unhealthy coping. I believe there is power in relationship and I consider it a joy to help clients learn how to better relate to themselves, others and the world around them.

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." -Desmond Tutu When we can hear our complete inner voice, we are able to begin tearing away from shame and move toward hope. Relationships & community are the most important parts of our life. This can include relationship with your spouse/partner, family, friends, spirituality, self, etc. Family and friends are a wonderful resource in order to better our relationships but sometimes we need a different place to talk about who we are, what we are struggling with, and how to make sense of our lives.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals who feel beat down and weary from life’s burdens. Life is not easy, but having someone with an outside view can really help provide the clarity and insight we need. If you are hurting, struggling to stay hopeful, or having trouble finding direction, I would be honored to hear your story and walk with you towards hope and healing.

I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I am currently taking on new clients. One of my favorite things about the process of therapy is getting to know you and your past experiences in hopes that you might get to know more about yourself and the person you want to be moving forward. I believe that empathy, curiosity, and compassion in therapy are essential tools to help create a safe space for that change.

I am pretty traditional in my beliefs about the purpose of therapy, but not your traditional therapist.I do not sit with a notebook and write down everything you say with a hmm at the end before I collect my fee.I am interactive and even directive sometimes. I guess that's why I work well with teenagers:) So, if you want therapy to be fun, I'm your gal. My specialty area has been adolescents and addiction for over 30 years, but I see adults too (codependence, divorce, parent alienation) etc. I am also a past President of LPCA, and operate a new virtual business called ProjectEvolve.com. It is an alternative to social media for kids.

To me, the best thing about seeing a therapist is that you are guranteed a caring listener who is going to accept you without judgement. Many people lack this kind of support in thier life. Everytime I sit down with a new client and am granted the privilage of hearing thier story, I feel honored. I know it can be scary and difficult to open up to somone and I appreciate that I am being invited into the lives of my clients. My goal is to be an advocate, a sounding board and a cheerleader for every person that I see.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stretched too far, family demands outweigh your personal needs? Or are you the parent of a child(ren) that you just can’t seem to reach? Well, take a deep breath… uuuuuuh!!!! You are in the right place; congratulate yourself on taking the first step in making a change in the life you deserve!
