Therapists in Mcduffie County, GA

There are many modalities for many people because we are all different. Each person & situation has a uniqueness and needs to be treated respectfully as such. I approach counseling, by way of collaboration, between the therapist (myself) & you (the client) in a safe space. It is you that is giving me permission to be on this journey with you.

Therapy is a judgement free zone where you can be free to express and explore yourself. Knowledge allows us to grow from within. You are the expert of YOU! I want to help you feel more content with who you are and be prepared to tackle all of the obstacles life has in store for you. I believe in the power of listening and understanding things from different points of view. I also believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is vital to the success of healing and the overall treatment plan. I believe in open and continuous communication. I am a cheerleader, a mentor, a coach and an educator.

My previous experiences have provided me an opportunity working with clients with a wide range of concerns and symptoms including anxiety, increased levels of stress and concern, relationship, parent-child conflict and depression. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations; all walks of life, ages and abilities. Utilizing therapy to better your life and continue to grow as a person is a major strength for anyone and I commend those who want to better their lives. Belinda's specialties include mood and anxiety disorders. To schedule, please visit: https://provider.growtherapy.com/book-appointment?id=896&ref=prov

Walking into therapy is the first step to “Doing the Work”, healing and starting a new chapter isn’t easy, but it leads to a journey that is full of new choices and opportunities. My goal is to create a safe environment and allow clients to be free to express their issues and concerns without judgment. I am passionate about helping others draw from their strengths and natural pain if necessary to allow them to thrive. I want to help clients gain the skills and knowledge to create positive changes and walk in their purpose. I am devoted to helping clients find their balance by drawing from a variety of modalities.

All life's issues are therapy worthy and the ideal client is one that is ready for support and hard work towards truths, that allow you to grow through and change negative ideas, behaviors, beliefs, and limitations just as you desire that change to happen. Grow-N2B-Better is here to help you further develop the strengths that you own and want to use in your daily life, relationships, interactions, and connections.

Do you find yourself feeling less than satisfied with parts of your life, and uncertain of what to do next?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Psychotherapist located in the area of Atlanta, Georgia. I work with adults, individuals, and families using a solution-focused and eclectic approach tailored to the unique needs of each new client. I have served in the mental health field for over 17 years. A highly dynamic, team-spirited, and evidence-based/ results-oriented professional seeking to combine outstanding academic and evidence-based training with excellent work experience, to make a significant contribution in a behavioral/mental health or social services environment. I am deeply committed to improving the quality of life.

Therapy helps work through your thoughts, emotions, perceptions, interactions and relationships in a safe supportive atmosphere. A good therapist will support and guide you to gain increased perspective and insight while also empowering you to self-assess and identify solutions/needed changes, not impress their beliefs on you. The active change agent in your journey to increased happiness and fulfillment is YOU; a good therapist just guides the way. I am happy to help whether you are adjusting to change and transition, wanting to improve or change relationships, or hoping to learn better ways to manage/cope with stress/emotions.

No one said life was going to be easy. We go through challenging situations in life when you feel like the weight of the world is trying to overtake you. There's nothing wrong with seeking out additional support and assistance when these difficult times occur. Self-awareness is the key element one needs to possess in knowing when help is needed. 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.

Every counselor, if they are honest, is seeking a client who is intelligent, funny, motivated, and has strong interpersonal skills. I am happy to work with those people, but I specialize in the more difficult cases. I like working with people who have had bad counseling experiences in the past. Those who know that they need change, but are unsure how to go about making those changes. Counseling is a collaborative relationship. My goal is not to fix your life, but to come along side you and help you move forward one step at a time.
