Therapists in Rockdale, Atlanta, GA

I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

Therapy with my clients is not just passive listening. It is focusing on what your words, body, memory, and subconscious self are saying. Then we work to turn that in to actions that help you reach your goals that make your life worth living. I want to listen to you and I want to WORK with you. I am drawn to working with clients who want to grow and are open to creating healthy coping skills and mindsets. I also bring humor, transparent honesty, and irreverence into therapy as ways to help shift emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

My ideal client is a client who is motivated for change, but is not quite sure how to get there. To be aware enough to want to make a difference in one's life is a powerful tool that should not be overlooked. There is no issue or need that is too great for therapy and I believe that we can work together to create everlasting change! Ideal clients generally struggle with transition problems or need guidance on how to proceed with well constructed plans. Their goals include operating in ways so that they can sustain their newly achieved status of their preferred way of living. They desire this for longevity and sustainability.

I am a 13 year military veteran who grew up in the South Bronx, first generation Puerto Rican in this country, raised by a single parent. It is these experiences that formed the foundation of my core beliefs, for better or worse. I approach my practice in the same way. The world impacts us, from the womb to the tomb. It is how we traverse the challenges that defines us. I use an eclectic mix of techniques, including solution focused, experiential, trauma informed, and cognitive behavioral, to help my clients better navigate those challenges.

You’re starting to feel like no one knows what you are really going through inside, because on the outside everything is all put together. It feels like you have to perform or wear a mask to make it through the day because everyone views you as strong and successful. You’ve spent so much of your life working towards a goal (maybe a degree, maybe a career, maybe a relationship), but now that you’re here it still feels like something is missing. You're stating to question some of the things you were taught about life and yourself from a young age, and you've grown tired of living up to expectations that you never set for yourself.

I'm passionate about adolescents and young adults (ages 12-30ish), understanding that these periods of life can be hard for most of us. If you're a teenager, college student, or young professional who's feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or wrestling with things like identity, self-esteem, or life transitions, I'd love to help. I believe in the strength of young people to work and grow through issues like depression, suicidality, anxiety, transitional issues, academic or social pressures, and more!

My name is Christine Pound. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Ellijay, Georgia and currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I am a compassionate and supportive therapist who is currently working with adults in all phases of life experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as those experiencing stress from current or past life challenges. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidenced based practices in a holistic, solution focused approach to help clients strengthen their sense of self–worth and their unique set of healthy coping strategies.

I believe the past often shows up in the present and I strive to create a space where we can honor your story and help you feel grounded in the here and now. Having lived in several parts of the world and experienced many different cultures, I have found what remains universal are the ways in which people tell stories and make meaning of their experiences. This is a powerful tool in the therapeutic space as well and one I make room for. By focusing on the counseling relationship, my hope is to cultivate a space that is welcoming and free of judgment.

I am passionate about creating a nonjudgmental safe space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self while also challenging your negative thoughts and beliefs. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with my clients as I believe that is the best way to reach and exceed the goals and change you want to implement. I am available to work with teens and young adults on issues related to body image, stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I am fully virtual and offer pro-bono and sliding-scale rates.

You’re overwhelmed with expectations and responsibilities. Though you appear to “have it all together,” that doesn’t match how you feel. Having others rely on you is a great compliment, but it also brings heavy pressure. You desperately want change but are afraid of what others will think, if you will be judged or if you will lose relationships. Who will you be if you are different from who you are now? There’s only one answer…YOURSELF; the person you truly are. Learn to set boundaries, invest in your self-awareness, and live by your values. Learn how to take care of yourself & still take care of your responsibilities. (Yes you can)

With seven years in the field, she is currently under supervision, in pursuit of clinical licensure. Although capable of working with a diverse population of demographics and issues, much of her work has focused on Adolescents, Young-Adults, and Families, with an emphasis on Behavior Issues, Family Conflict, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and Self Esteem. As we grow we find that the lens through which we view the world often shapes the path on which we journey. You will find this to be the case for Jhadrian as she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core practice, in helping clients face everyday stressors.

Are you looking for a place to work through trauma's impact, heal amidst anxiety, and find peace as your authentic self?

I specialize in helping individuals and couples to shift from an insecure to secure attachment style. A person struggling with insecure attachment experiences anxiety, avoidance, or both, making it difficult to create and maintain close relationships. This is most often due to past experiences that have yet to be processed and resolved, so they block the way to adult relationship success and lead to repeating patterns. Developing a secure attachment style allows you to confidently be yourself, set healthy boundaries, implement self-care, and build healthy platonic and romantic connection for a greater quality of life.
