Therapists in Lanier County, 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.

Therapy can be beneficial at many points in your life; whether you are struggling with stressors, experiencing mental health symptoms, going through life changes, or just wanting to explore who you are. I aim to offer a helping hand and safe environment for you to be heard and accepted.

Whatever obstacles and struggles someone may be going through in life, I consider it a privilege to help them deal with these issues in a compassionate and empathetic manner. I understand that the patients I see are entrusting me to give them the right resources to guide them down a new path, with a new perspective, so they can achieve their own goals.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I alway say, "I teach people to love themselves." In over 22 years of experience, I have come to believe that a lack of self love is the underlying cause of most problems (depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, general dissatisfaction with life). I help people reprogram their brains by teaching them a new self-talk language.

Have you found yourself at a place where you are wondering what path to take? A place where either your child or yourself are struggling and yet you are not quite sure what to do next? Taking the first step toward identifying the underlying problem is often a difficult, confusing, and stressful process. From the very first contact, I am committed to helping ease those difficulties as much as possible and guide you along the path most suited for you or your child's needs.

Congratulations on prioritizing your health and well-being during these challenging times. Are you struggling with stress, or finding meaning and purpose in life? You are likely seeking a therapist who respects your unique journey and who can help you to build upon the resilience you already possess. I started Thrive Mode Counseling to offer you a nonjudgmental space to reflect, heal and build self-awareness. My holistic therapeutic approach addresses both the mind and body so that you can reach new levels of happiness and satisfaction that will affect your work, play, relationships, and health well into the future.

Whether you find yourself struggling with your mental health, have a difficult relationship that you need help navigating, or are experiencing grief and loss, therapy can help support you. Often times, reaching out and taking that first step is the hardest part. I understand how overwhelming life can be and how hard it is to prioritize yourself. I welcome all individuals, couples, and families to therapy and provide confidential, inclusive services. Therapy is a safe, peaceful environment to share your truth vulnerably and be met with respect and compassion.

Having worked in the mental health profession for over 25 years, I am a licensed mental health professional and owner of the Hicks Group Wellness Center. My primary work is with individuals suffering from domestic violence, traumas, anxiety, and depression. I am particular about whom I take as a client; my ideal client is ready for transformative change and motivated to do the therapeutic work that comes with counseling.
