Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 30517

Hey! My name is Amelia Beaudry and I am a Master’s Level Counselor at The Victorious Mind. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Truett McConnell University and my Master’s of Arts in Professional Counseling from Truett McConnell University. Since graduation, I have worked at an inpatient addiction and rehab center providing individual and group counseling to men and women who struggle with the disease of addiction.

I provide counseling in the state of Georgia (in office and online) as well as Florida (online only). I offer a warm and relatable approach and especially enjoy working with adults, couples, children (10+), and teens. I have many years experience helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, social/relational/family conflict, academic and workplace difficulties, as well as life transitions - big and small.

I'm both an LPC and LMFT who enjoys helping people of all ages and stages including teens adults, couples and families. The goal of my therapy is build trust and a working alliance so together we process unresolved issues and replace present behaviors, emotions and thoughts causing distress with more effective coping and ways of being that empower you to live the life you've always wanted. My therapy styles include CBT, DBT and I'm solution focused and client centered. I make sure you're heard and understood.

Have you found yourself at a cross roads- feeling like you can't stay where you are but you don't know where to go from here? Are you tired of swinging from one extreme to another? Are you trying to maintain the picture of perfection while inside you feel overwhelmed and anxious? Are you looking for balance in your life? Are you battling with inconsistent behaviors, overwhelming emotions, trauma, food, or body image? To change your life, your next step is to take a "bold crossing" - to make a decision to move and I can help you through the journey.

I help highly intelligent over-achievers trade anxiety for confidence without feeling like a failure. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, successful, and funnier than a viral meme, life is hard. When they first come in, they feel trapped by their image. They like being thought of as organized and successful, but inside they feel a total fake. When they stop to think about it, they realize they don't even feel like themselves anymore... it's like they've morphed into what other people expect them to be. Their greatest fear is people seeing the real person behind their mask and rejecting them.

Tired? Frustrated? Angry? Depressed? Anxious? Unsure? Stressed Out? Overwhelmed? Tried Everything? We look forward to working with you when you are ready to take that next step forward. We will work with you to feel Happier, more content, at peace, have hope and Motivated.

Why bother telling anyone, they won't believe you or won't care. People would think it was your fault, after all, you did not say "no". There is no way that your physical health issues could be related to what happened to you, after all, it was so long ago and you don't even think about it anymore. It becomes easier to wear a mask then reveal the pain of what you cannot speak about. Being strong all the time becomes harder as the days, weeks, and months go by.

I have experience working with individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, perfectionism, and other life stressors in both private practice and hospital settings. I enjoy working alongside clients whether they are working to meet their personal goals for improvement or combating intrusive and challenging thoughts, memories, and behaviors.

Being a human is tough. You may be struggling with feeling empty, disconnected, hopeless, or stuck. Maybe you've noticed that the person you are now appears drastically different from the person you used to be or is just not who you want to be going forward. You want life to be more engaging, fulfilling, and enjoyable. Your thoughts and feelings are valid, as is your desire to want more for yourself. I am humbled to walk with you on your journey to your desired life.

Do you need a space to receive support for change without judgment? I will provide that space for you with a balance of empathy and curiosity about patterns that aren't working for you as we work together to create the growth you are seeking. I have been counseling for over 10 years and have worked with a wide variety of relational dynamics and personal issues. Let's explore your strengths, values, patterns of relating to yourself and others, what motivates you, what is going well in your life and what isn't, then equip you with practical tools for creating the positive and lasting change you desire.
