I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Georgia and journey with individuals age 18 and older.

I specialize working with couples and with survivors of narcissistic abuse. I approach our therapeutic relationship with utmost sensitivity and respect to multi/cross-cultural factors. You can bring your personal values and spirituality and integrate them into our healing work. I am here to support you as you are finding your authentic self.

Welcome! My name is Alicia Gregory and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Gray, Ga. I specialize in working with Individuals, Couples, Families, and Adolescents. Feel free to call with further inquiry anytime and I will return your call promptly. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Are you seeking to improve your relationships with your significant other, your family, or yourself? Do you yearn for a life where you have control over your own emotions and reactions, can make better decisions, and handle self-defeating behaviors? Whether you're seeking help for yourself, as a couple, or for your family, let's work together to calm and release your body, mind, and spirit from the past, so you can live a full and bountiful life today.

A clinically trained therapist with a focus on the mind-body connection, I offer a unique approach that blends empirically supported techniques and research-based interventions to help my clients. We will work together to help you effectively release psychological barriers and emotional blocks that are in your way. These may be keeping you stuck, holding you back from reaching your potential, or preventing you from moving forward. They may be keeping you from having healthy relationships with family members or friends or romantic partners, or could be affecting your overall well-being and ability to feel happy living a life you love

My ideal client is looking for help and support in making themselves a priority and working towards creating a life filled with greater peace, self confidence and self love. My clients are looking to move past fear, overthinking, trauma, anxiety, and ptsd in order to achieve more of what they want most out of life. They are looking to move past prior crisis and trauma in different areas of their lives from health struggles, to family trauma and relationships. They want more out of life and are ready to get out of their own way. They want someone to help them understand their obstacles and develop a clear path toward their solutions

My goal is to instill hope, foster healing, and facilitate growth with each individual and couple that I work with. As a therapist, I have observed that we will all experience pain and suffering. I have also come to the conclusion that when we experience adverse events, we cope in whatever way protects us from feeling more pain. As your therapist, I will offer compassion and empathy as we explore the ‘why’ behind specific patterns and habits that keep you feeling stuck. We will also work towards gaining new coping skills and tools that will help you meet your specific goals.

Anxiety and depression can cloud our judgment, closing us off from ourselves and others. Perhaps you have achieved your goals, yet still struggle with feeling “not good enough.” You may feel paralyzed, unable to move forward, continually engaged in self-destructive patterns of thoughts and behavior. What would it be like to quiet those anxious thoughts, experience lasting and genuine peace, and make positive change? Together we can increase your self-understanding, build resiliency, find meaning, navigate challenges, and facilitate joy and growth. My approach is genuine, down-to-earth, warm, insightful, playful, and compassionate.

On our journey of life, sometimes we reach a point where it seems as if, we have hit the end of the road. Thoughts like, "I feel stuck", “Life is so meaningless” or “Will my relationships ever improve?”, can leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained. A deep sense of sadness, anger and frustration can get in way of our everyday functioning.  Therapy can assist you through such difficult times, as well as help you overcome every day obstacles. Together we can work towards building healthy relationships and positive well-being. Through our collaboration you will learn to access and engage your inner strengths to combat these struggles.

Our expertise in managing life changes—from career shifts to personal milestones—ensures that you're not alone on this journey.

You have survived and achieved so much in your life. I have too. My work as a mental health therapist is to pass on the gifts of those kind helpers who were there for me. I believe in the healthy changes that result from interpersonal connection, the power of creative expression, honesty, and above all: hope. I would be honored to help turn your struggles into healthy coping strategies.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and culturally sensitive mental health support to individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and marital issues. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices. I recognize that everyone's journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet their needs.

Viktor Frankl said "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." I find building healthy client/therapist relationships very satisfying. I enjoy working with clients who are open to growth. I am the mother of 3 young adult daughters. I am active in my profession by having served on the Board of Directors as President in 2018-19 as well as 3 prior terms as Western District Chair, for The Licensed Professional Counselors Association of GA (LPCA-GA). I am Certified as a Clinical Supervisor by LPCA-GA, a Clinical Trauma Professional & as a Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider.

I believe that authenticity, balance and connection are available to all of us, regardless of past pain or current stuckness. I am guided by the motto “You have to feel it to heal it”, and provide a safe and compassionate space in which individuals and families are invited to process pain, anger, loss, and fear, integrate those experiences and move forward. As a former teacher, child therapist and parent, I understand the importance of supporting caregivers to improve the health of the entire system.

I am a psychotherapist providing services to individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, late deafened, and cochlear implant users across several states, including Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, New York, Maine, Texas, and Maryland. My therapeutic approach is systemic, collaborative, and strength-based while mindful of cultural, ethnic, and economic concerns. I utilize an eclectic approach that combines psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help individuals leverage their support system, community resources, mindfulness, and newly acquired skills to achieve the life they envision.

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say "yes" when we really mean "no". And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we're striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Life can be difficult for us all, but does it seem tougher on you at times? Maybe there actually IS something making life more challenging. Do you sometimes have feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness, or panic, but can't identify the causes of these? Do you suffer from sleep problems, low energy, stomach issues, or muscle tension that you can't explain? Do you have trouble concentrating or have racing thoughts that are impossible to control? These are just some of the ways that anxiety and depression affects us. Add in daily stress or unresolved trauma and it can become challenging or even impossible to cope with daily life.

Maybe you are ready to make a shift and looking for a safe space and meaningful therapeutic process to support you. Let's see if I am the right fit for you....I am easy to talk to, warm and authentic. You will feel it when you sit with me. I will support you as you (re)learn to trust yourself and cultivate the ability to listen closely to what you already know. My orientation is grounded in the belief that we are all born into this world with an innate ability to know deeply what we need. We develop layers of protection to survive this world, and I am here to help you get back to who you truly are.
