Therapists in Americus, GA

Seeking therapy can be a scary experience, but I want you to know that you made the right decision. Therapy can provide a safe place for you to talk about things that will be kept confidential. I have experience helping individuals find effective coping strategies to help with their life challenges. I help individuals of all ages learn how to cope and manage their problems so they can live a glorious and prosperous life.

Observing, at times, that life can seem dim and we become “stuck” in outworn realities. Working with clients on issues that stem from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, spiritual issues, and life's dilemmas are our preference. Oftentimes, clients become "stuck" in old outworn patterns of thinking and behavior that impact their relationships and daily functioning. However, clients who are open to dissecting these old narratives and are willing to collaborate to discover new meanings and outlooks will find therapeutic services from Lotus Nest Counseling Services, LLC. beneficial.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like most, I have made good and bad choices but gained wisdom. I have 22+ years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. While I am not judgemental. I have a blunt and gentle approach to counseling. My goal is to offer clients another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I do not believe in pretending to have all of the answers but in offering clients options for help... and discovering new options together.

I am also credentialed as a CPCS, Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, providing supervision to train other therapists in the counseling profession.

Deciding to see a Doctoral level therapist is a hard decision to make and it can seem scary. Therefore, it's important for you to know that I am non-judgmental, provide a safe and confidential atmosphere, and am usually pretty good at helping people feel comfortable right away. I am honest and always provide professional and practical opinions in a caring and empathic manner within the scope of my practice. I work with adults of all ages, older adolescents, couples, and families, regardless of background. I also perform all sorts of psychological assessments if one is needed (i.e. diagnostic, court ordered, child custody, etc.).

As a therapist, I believe it is important to walk in your purpose and I believe I do that every day. My name is Laijun English, and I am a counselor that provides treatment for teens and adults dealing with life’s challenges. I understand the importance of a client being able to find a counselor that they can connect with in more ways than one. The reason why I got into counseling is because I realized that more people who looked like me needed to see us in these same spaces and recognize that mental health is something that we all deal with.
