Optum Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia with seven years of experience. I graduated from Florida State University School of Social Work in 2015. Since graduating in 2015 I have worked in school settings, corrections, geriatric and private practice. I facilitate my clients in making positive changes for their life, challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life changing situations. My counseling approach is from a place of empathy, mindful and client-centered perspective, yet direct and straightforward. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity.

We are the practice to call if you are ready to reach your maximum potential. So many clients start out knowing exactly WHAT changes they want to make...but they need help in figuring out HOW to get there and guidance to stay there. If you have trouble establishing boundaries without guilt or are seeking to raise your self-esteem, we can help you. Once you are clear about who you are, rather than who you think you should be, all of your relationships and current stressors will be SO much easier to navigate.

I specialize in dealing with the impact of depression, anxiety, grief and trauma that alters client’s lives. I help couples identify and work through abandonment and early attachment injuries to prevent current and future toxic relationship patterns. I am passionate about practicing a culturally specific and holistic approach to therapy.

Are you ready to invest in yourself? You do know that you are worth it, right?

As a solution focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life for the present and future.

As a therapist and yoga instructor, I combine counseling with mindfulness for stress, anxiety, and depression. I assist you in deeply understanding your suffering and uncovering inner strength through acceptance and choice, while cultivating compassion for yourself and others. Mindfulness helps us recognize emotional and physical experiences, while awareness of breath creates space to become more response-able. This develops healthy responses to stress, anxiety, and depression. It also improves our ability to communicate and be in relationship with others.

My name is Laporshe, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience. My counseling style is pretty laid-back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate. I specialize in anxiety, bipolar disorder, coping skills, depression, mood disorders, grief, impulse control disorders, dissociative disorders, and psychosis. I believe there is no “one size fits all” type of therapy, I fit my style of therapy according to the need of my patients by using integrative approaches when it is suitable for my clients. My approach often utilizes a mix of CBT and ACT for a person-centered and supportive approach.

I began my practice, Briarpatch Solutions, in 2022 as a solo practice. Now in order to meet the growing demand for my services, I am expanding into a group practice. As such, I am now working toward my AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation and offer supervision to MFT interns and graduates seeking placement and/or hours. This allows us to offer affordable mental health care to persons who are without insurance. We are an inclusive practice with doors open to all people. Our philosophy is that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion and have access to quality, affordable healthcare.

I have over 18 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with people from various backgrounds, with 12 of those years being a counselor. I particularly like to work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that, ultimately, the client is the agent of change and I am simply the guide on your journey to wholeness. Together we will identify your goals and, through our work together, I will help you reach them. I work with a myriad of issues, from marital relationship and family conflict, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, trauma and more!
