Sometimes life is just hard, you are going along, and everything is fine, when, suddenly, wham!...everything changes, and leaves you asking, "now what?" You were taught how to do Algebra, but not how to deal with the situation you find yourself in. For me, therapy is about finding the right tools for you so that you can, in the healthiest way possible, thrive in the hardest times. I want you to know that you are amazing, and infinitely capable, and that sometimes you just need a little bit of help learning how to deal with life's curve balls.

It encourages individuals to explore their passions, values, and aspirations and to make intentional choices that reflect their authentic selves. It suggests being intentional, engaged, time-bound aligned with one's purpose or calling in life.

Anxiety and depression rob us of moments in life, stress our relationships, and hold us hostage in time. Haunting memories from the past stir us to run, fight, or shut down whenever we are reminded. The demands of life barrel on as we struggle to find a window to rest and to heal. The great news is, there is hope. Hope to better understand the parts of us that are healthy and those parts that are hurting. And hope that by working together we can strengthen your relationship with yourself and lighten your load. Let’s unburden, learn to cut anxiety off before it builds or shut it down when it does, lift the fog of depression,

I work with women and adolescents who are ready to embark on a journey of self-exploration. Perhaps you are seeking counseling because life isn't working as well as it could. Maybe you are burdened by the past or by feelings of shame and guilt, lack of inspiration or motivation, feeling angry or hopeless after experiencing trauma or loss, struggling with relationships or family life, or simply just wanting to know more about who you are and why you continue to be stuck in the same patterns.

Ever feel like you are responsible for your kids and your parents? Responsibilities from both ends. Maybe you are stressed out over work, family, finances, or planning for the future. Are you worried about the future, maybe even the present? Never have a minute to relax. I’ve been there and I know just how you feel. Will it ever end? Is there any hope? Yes, there is. I have counseled many individuals over the years who were in your shoes. I walked with them through the valley. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Are you experiencing a difficult season in your personal life? My name is Sam and I'm a native of North Georgia and a graduate of The University of Georgia. Ignoring suffering doesn’t lead to better feelings, only less feelings. Simply pulling the weeds just leaves you with an empty garden. When we choose to water half truths and negative experiences we can cultivate feelings of sadness, anger, fear, hopelessness, shame, or unworthiness. These feelings often lead to isolation, unhealthy choices, and unhealthy relationships.

Hello. My name is Judith Ashworth, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I just retired from the Wellstar hospital system, where I had been working for 20 years, mostly as a behavioral health and clinician. I ran groups and provided assessment and individual brief therapy on their inpatient unit or but within Path, I am looking forward to doing rational emotive behavioral therapy or REBT. This will provide quicker progress. I have been pretty successful working on addiction, depression, and OCD. I feel comfortable working with severe psychiatric disorders as well. But I know that's not what this forum is all about.
