I founded Courage & Motivation Psychotherapy and Coaching Inc. in 2009 to create a platform to motivate and elevate clients in the state of GA.

I am L. Elizabeth Shelton, GA LPC 008242 and have been fully licensed since 2012, originally in Virginia and since 2015 in Georgia. My theoretical orientation to therapy is CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as I believe it is critical to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and drive most of the problems people struggle to overcome. I have experience working with a wide range of areas/conditions, though most often focus on helping individuals with depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and trauma.

Self-understanding is a crucial aspect of emotional health and a major goal for psychotherapy. Building insight into the way in which we view and engage with ourselves and the world around us provides a road map to use when navigating all aspects of life. Through therapy, I aim to increase one’s sense of who they are, what they want, and what is getting in the way. With these efforts, people often find that their distress diminishes, mood increases, and meaning and purpose in life becomes clearer.
