Everyone has experiences from the past that are still with them, in the present. Whether it was a childhood trauma, a difficult relationship, or anything else... we live with all of our experiences. They can shape the way that we feel about ourself and also how we feel about our life. Over time, these feelings can become quite a burden that seems to be holding us down... and this can become a repeating cycle. Therapy can help a person re-examine their feelings and experiences with a new lens, and they can learn new ways to become the person they have always strived to be. Don't just survive your life... you deserve to THRIVE!

Transitions can be scary and unknown—being on your own for the first time, starting college, being an empty nester struggling to find purpose, being retired or going through a divorce and feeling a loss of identity, hurting from past trauma or struggling with your spiritual journey. Often, feeling lost can lead to depression, anxiety, a sense of not belonging and even mal-adaptive behaviors such as substance abuse or self-harm. We at Baobab Counseling Center are passionate about working with individuals to tap into their inner strength, desires and potential while identifying and overcoming those barriers that arise.

Your life seems to be going well, but deep inside you feel like you're just a great pretender. You’re doing your best to be a good parent, partner, daughter, co-worker, but no matter how hard you try, you end up feeling like you could be better. You’re struggling with feelings of doubt, grief, shame and irritability. When the day is over you deal with restless thoughts traveling a mile a minute, all to remind you of the things you have yet to get done. You can’t sleep and no matter how many times you try to organize your life, it just seems to always feel messy. One day you're a “go getter”, next day you struggle to get out of bed.

I have worked extensively with people suffering from trauma, especially domestic violence, and sexual trauma. I love working on Men's issues. During my practice, I found that Toxic Masculinity is maybe the biggest contributor to psychological issues in men. So, I started the only group for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse in Northern Georgia.

Music Therapy

How does music therapy work?

A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.

What are some common music therapy techniques?

Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.

How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.

How long does music therapy take?

Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
