Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Juliette, GA

I am a licensed psychologist accepting teletherapy patients from all areas of Georgia. In-office patients will be seen at St Simons Psychiatry. I work with all ages incorporating mental, physical and spiritual factors. Therapy with children and teens typically involves better communication with parents and parenting help. Areas of expertise are mood, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, behavior problems, autism, chronic pain, stress and anger management.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With a specialty in working with adults with Asperger's Syndrome, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help my clients learn to cope with the symptoms of depression and anxiety that often accompany Asperger's. I also work with individuals of all ages seeking to increase their daily living skills. Additionally, I am available to work with parents who are struggling with their child's challenging behaviors.

I work collaboratively with clients, finding the next best step for them to take to handle challenges and roadblocks in life. I get great satisfaction watching my clients improve their life through short or long-term therapy. I help children and adolescents reach their academic/social potential with the parents' support. I advocate for students with navigation of EiP’s/504’s and RTI. Other areas of expertise include grief/loss, stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship issues for children, teens and adults. I teach social skills to those dealing with Asperger's Syndrome and work with youth at risk for sexual exploitation.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years' experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. Many of my clients have more than one psychological issue, such as Depression/Mood issues, ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Tourette's, Social Skill deficits, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, and Relationship difficulties.

I am a highly motivated professional who enjoys working with people in supportive environments. I’ve always been passionate about children in care and helping others, and practiced psychotherapy in England before coming to the US. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychotherapy, with specializations in behavior analysis, person-centered and humanistic approaches. I also work with children who are diagnosed with autism and am a Registered Behavioral Technician.

I love working with children, adults and families of all kinds. Individuals and families who are navigating the impacts of change, difference in neurotypes, changes in identity, loss, divorce or simply feeling disconnected can get stuck. Seeking support and finding time to dedicate to therapy is a brave first step in determining your course, and I honor you for it. I welcome people of all backgrounds in my practice and have experience working with diverse populations including autistic individuals, people with ADD/ADHD, the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

My main focus is to help clients identify and build on their personal strengths so they can overcome the obstacles preventing them from realizing their full potential. My first priority when I meet with a client is to collaboratively establish therapy goals and determine what they would like to attain from the counseling process. Based on this information I personalize each session to help my clients achieve their goals. With every interaction, my goal is always the same: that you leave my office feeling that you were heard and validated.

A decision to begin therapy is a decision for learning and change. I believe learning and change take place in relationships that are forward looking, genuine, safe, and trusting. I am a licensed psychologist, and my specialty areas include providing therapy and counseling to children, adolescents and adults with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorders, conduct disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My specialty areas also include developmental, school, learning, and adjustment disorders.

You have taken the first major step of getting healthier by acknowledging there is a concern and you are reaching out. My goal is to provide you a safe and comfortable environment to begin this journey. Change is possible. If you have experienced trauma, I can help you in the healing process. If you need someone to guide you through a difficult situation, I am here. I have been practicing in Mental Health since the 80's and many people have crossed my path. I love what I do and look forward to being there for you during this difficult time.

Welcome to my page! My work is founded on our relationship and creating a space of authenticity and comfort. I cherish being let in to someone’s world and I focus on how I can understand your particular context no matter how different we are. I am very warm, personable, engaged and direct without being directive. I will meet you wherever you are and I am flexible in my approach. I help people with relationship concerns, life transitions, experiencing new, uncomfortable symptoms/diagnoses, or sorting through years of accumulated, old stressors. I can help to deepen your understanding and acceptance of yourself and your relationships.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore and learn about yourself? A place to grow and heal? Therapy may help to meet your needs. I truly enjoy walking alongside individuals as they navigate the trickiest moments in life. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and couples dealing with parenting difficulties, life transitions, spiritual abuse, anxiety, depression, the impact of racism, and self esteem issues. I also provide relational therapy for couples using Gottman methods.

Navigating the adolescent years is full of ups and downs for both parents and kids. Your teen or young adult is someone who is high-achieving and bright, but finds themselves dealing with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and comparing themselves to others. They tend to overanalyze, overthink, and their inner voice is too critical. As a parent you’re ready to see your child feel whole again. You’re ready to support them as they navigate change and transition. Most of all, you’re ready for them to see the wonderful gifts they have to offer. I want to help your family get there.

Are you feeling stuck? In your job? In your relationship? In life in general? Maybe you know your goals but can't move forward. Maybe you're unsure of even where to start with goal setting. Maybe you can't figure out why you're stuck. Or maybe you see what's keeping you stuck and know you need to do something--but aren't sure what.

If you are struggling in your current relationship or have been unsuccessful in past attempts to develop healthy relationships, I'm here to help you identify what needs to change and take steps towards your goals. Whether it is difficulty with emotions, unhelpful beliefs, or destructive behavioral patterns, we will get to the root issues and develop a plan. I'm an especially good fit for people who appreciate a warm but direct approach to therapy and are motivated to change. I will carefully and empathically listen to your concerns, while also challenging you to lean into the difficult areas of your life as you change and grow.

Common family goals are: to communicate more effectively and meaningfully, to guide the family through traumatic experiences, to resolve problems and conflicts, to create a more positive family environment.

"One's destination is never a new place, but a new way of seeing things."--Henry Miller My primary objective as a psychotherapist is to establish a safe environment built on trust and empathetic understanding.

My theoretical approach is integrative, utilizing techniques from various theories, depending on my clients’ individualized needs.

I believe that YOU are the expert on your life, I am just here to help you along the way.

Counseling services focus on helping families and individuals build skills that increase healthy behaviors and foster resiliency. Symptoms and challenges are addressed using a CBT, DBT, Adlerian, and/or a client centered ‘strengths and solutions’ based approach. Emphasis in sessions include gaining awareness of negative self-talk and habits, learning tools to change behaviors, and rewriting new scripts that illuminate strengths, acceptance, and self-discipline. Sand Tray techniques and Play Therapy are additional approaches to help clients process emotions and progress in their goals.
