The people who call me for help are real people just like you. You exhaust yourself trying to cope with the stresses and strains of real life. You often feel overburdened, stressed out, and maybe even trapped. You try to stay positive about things, but your resources [emotional and financial] are likely stretched to the breaking point. Your relationships are struggling. It seems that the harder you try to make things work, the worse they seem to get. There's not enough time to do what needs done. Every moment you spend in therapy has to count.

For the past three years I have been a therapist to other therapists, but have recently made the decision to offer my skills to clients who desire to live their best life as the best version of themselves. If you are ready to change, I am here to help. I have a multi-disciplinary approach that includes but is not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your journey. My name is Allia (she/her), and for my clients, I provide a safe and healing place to grow. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a therapist and advocate for child and adult survivors of abuse and sexual assault. And through this work, I have honed my skills in helping people through trauma, transitions, self-worth issues, and identity. I provide EMDR Therapy and other therapeutic approaches as well. I work with a wide range of clients and survivors and particularly gravitate towards individuals within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities and teens/young adults.

Please note: Wait list currently full. My counseling approach is informed by deep respect for individuals and their strengths. I can help you to effectively face challenges that arise during transitions and periods of high stress. We collaborate to help you move forward on your path to growth and change. Clients find relief from anxiety, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, interpersonal stress, career concerns and "feeling stuck." Specialties include trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD, stress, couple/partner interaction and communication, family-of-origin issues (including substance abuse-related), and attachment styles.

As a therapist more then 20 years experience and a mom who is living with the joys and challenges of parenting, work, and a busy family, I am passionate about supporting women at all stages of motherhood. I help new moms who may need help with adjustment or may even be dealing with postpartum depression or anxiety as well as parents across the lifespan who are dealing with different stages of parenting from dealing with infants and toddlers to big kids, tweens, teens, young adults, adult children. and even those sandwiched between caring for kids and caring for their own aging parents as well.

I offer shame-free trauma and addiction treatment in Athens, GA. Nearly 75% of individuals struggling with substance misuse have a history of trauma. The risk of developing a substance use disorder is directly linked to a person's exposure to adversities such as childhood abuse, toxic stress, and dysfunctional relationships. I'm proud to specialize in helping those seeking recovery find the deep healing required for success. In the face of an invisible epidemic, trauma and substance misuse, you need an ally who sees you, knows your worth, and can help you move towards the life you deserve.

We live in a hurting world and life is often complicated and painful. Thankfully we do not have to face our problems alone. I have 16 years of experience of walking with clients through painful situations. Drawing on my clinical skills and my faith in Christ, I help clients deal with issues of anxiety, depression, past trauma, and many other areas affecting their mental health.

Your beauty matters, Your scars matter, Your health matters, Your uniqueness matters, and most importantly "YOU" matter. No matter where you have been, where you are, and where you are going, we all have a purpose. Although we sometimes take detours and experience significant setbacks, we can still reach our full potential. Today is the day you have chosen to put YOU first and I would like to assist you with gaining the necessary skills to become all you can be. Here at the ACAS Center, we treat from the whole health perspective and our agency was created with the social, physical, & emotional needs of our clients in mind.

Lately many people are suffering from loneliness and do not feel a sense of belonging. We need connection and relationships to thrive. As a Relationship Therapist with over 20 years experience, I can quickly help you identify patterns and work on new behaviors that bring greater satisfaction in romantic, family, social, and work relationships. I see individuals and couples who are dealing with painful conflicts, emotional distance or disconnection, lack of emotional or physical intimacy, affairs and emotional betrayals, loneliness, or simply wanting to have deeper conversations about attachment styles, needs, and love languages.

As you navigate the twists and turns of your life, you may come to a place where you feel stuck or wonder how to proceed through a difficult time. Perhaps you are grieving a loss or burdened by the lingering effects of a traumatic experience. You may be feeling confused, exhausted, alone, unbalanced, or disconnected. During this time, you may be looking for support, connection, and help constructing a roadmap forward. I am here to help. I specialize in working with women who are experiencing anxiety; I have a particular interest in serving survivors of childhood abuse/neglect and sexual violence.

I have served Athens and surrounding communities since 2007. Through training and experience, my specialities include trauma, family relationships & conflicts, LGBTQ+, anxiety, self esteem, and life transitions. Making a decision to begin mental health care is an important decision and my hope is to help you meet your emotional and mental health needs.

I have experience assisting clients who are struggling with a number of life’s challenges, including but not limited to grief, anxiety, anger management, life transitions, and addiction. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe and accepting environment to facilitate the achievement of the client’s goals and growth.

I enjoy helping others reach their goals using a personable, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing clients succeed in reaching or exceeding their goals. My specialties include stress, anxiety, relationships, productivity, focus, and confidence/assertiveness. Holistic in scope, my approach takes into consideration the many facets of you as an individual, including one's physical health, interpersonal relationships, and spirituality (if desired).

Answering the call to serve the Lord as a counselor has been one of the greatest choices I’ve ever made. Whether I’m attending to a client in one of their darkest moments or celebrating a goal a client has achieved, I find so much fulfillment in the therapeutic process. I am a two-time graduate of the University of Georgia. In 2021, I received my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion. That was followed by my Master of Education in Professional Counseling. Both degrees have prepared me for this work by increasing my sense of empathy and my desire to help others grow into their full potential.

I am a clinical social worker who provides individual therapy for adults. As a therapist my role is to provide a non-judgmental, safe environment for individuals to explore their life issues and support them in their personal growth. I find that a lot of us struggle with listening to our inner critic and often beat ourselves up for past regrets, as well as spending a lot of valuable time worrying about the past and the "what if's" in the future. I hope we can work together to quiet this critic and find a way to enjoy the present.

In this time of high stress, instability and fear we need to be able to speak freely in a safe space. Most recently that space is thru telemental health. Your challenges, needs and goals lead our discussions as I help create a supportive and validating session that allows you to learn about yourself, heal and grow. Now accepting new clients.

Is your son unhappy? Experiencing difficulty at school, at home, or somewhere else? Problems with peers? Parents, especially those of older children, sometimes feel powerless and frustrated regarding these situations. I would be honored to help your son and your family.
