In Person Therapists in Macon, GA

Counseling is a place we can explore the many facets of being a woman and the many roles that we fill. This is a confidential space to confront challenges and general life issues that may crop up in life including but not limited to emotional eating, negative body image, stress and anxiety, poor self-esteem, depressed mood, and neglected self-care. We all face difficulties during our lives. And because of the many roles we, as women, are expected to fulfill, we often do not show our suffering to the outside world. But that's how we feel on the inside. I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with asking for help!

I worked in public mental health with adults and families; and Hephzibah Behavioral Health with high risk children and adolescents for several years dealing with many issues, including addiction and anger manage- ment.

Hi there! My name is Morgan Spires. I am a licensed professional counselor. I practice from a person-centered approach, considering a client's emotional, social, spiritual and physical health.

I believe in treating the entire family, as opposed to just the individual.

“I know that it can be hard to be in a relationship with me.” “I’m too much.” “I can’t depend on anyone but myself.” “I just rather be alone than be with someone and be unhappy.” Each of these statements suggest that you’re living life in a state of fear. When you feel unsafe, you are looking for the danger in situations. You trust no one. You are constantly in the mode of defending, running away, people pleasing or in analysis paralysis (procrastination). As a result of your responses to your fears, each of your relationships suffer. Wouldn’t it be GLORIOUS to trust your spirit of discernment, kill your fears and feel safe?

Directed Paths is here to assist families who find it difficult to engage. I'm here to help move the conversation along. Families struggle to have conversations around difficult topics.

We offer face to face conversations with individuals struggling to discuss personal issues with those in their circle. We seek to ensure that you are provided the words that ultimately shape how you navigate conversations without judgement or fear.

With a collective of OVER 75 YEARS of experience, each therapist brings a unique and meaningful set of experiences that allows us to share and support one another in our gifts as clinicians. Unlike many therapy practices, we collectively spend time in mutual supervision each week supporting and learning how to best serve our clients. Calling us means you will be offered the best possible outcome. We understand how difficult it is to take the first step and do not take it lightly. We hope one of us will be a good therapeutic fit for you. And when we cannot meet your needs, we will do our best to make a referral.

Have you been feeling disconnected and unhappy in your relationship with your partner, family members or other loved ones? Conflict can ebb and flow in all aspects of our life, but sometimes the load seems hard to bear and seemingly impossible to handle yourself.

By understanding how your past impacts your present and learning to be a good self-manager, you can make progress and feel better.. I work with people who are wounded, people who find themselves in challenging circumstances they don't know how to navigate, and those who are simply tired of feeling stuck. I help my clients learn to love and care for themselves, create lasting change, heal from old wounds, and cultivate healthy practices that lead to peace.

Finding a therapist who can listen, offer guidance, and meet your needs is no small task, but an important one. People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons but I believe that at the core most people are looking for a place to be heard and figure out how to be their best self. Whether you are a child, teen, or adult, I will use age-appropriate interventions to help guide you to explore your own strengths and engage in self-assessment in order to figure out how to do that in a way that is true and authentic to who you are and who you want to be.
