Therapists in Bartow County, GA
It can be hard to ask for help sometimes and I am here when you are ready. Over the past eight years, I have worked collaboratively with those who are dealing with mental health and/or substance use concerns. Most recently, my work has been focused around people in recovery, those working through life transitions (including divorce and parenthood), women's issues, and those involved with the criminal justice system. I partner with several community resources to help provide services to those who are typically underserved. I am an ally to the LGBTIQ+ community.

Hi, I'm Anna Murray, a therapist committed to helping individuals through life transitions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. Life can often hand us things that we are not prepared for. Events that can lead to anxiety, depression, or an overall feeling of not knowing what to do or how to cope. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help my clients work through the twists and turns of life. I'm passionate about helping others find their way, being a nonjudgmental listener, and providing a safe space to share openly.

I really enjoy helping individuals navigate life by giving them a safe outlet to develop skills and learn more about themselves. I love helping teens and young adults find their way through life, and a big part of that is helping those that experience anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder.

Having conducted more than 2,800 psychoeducational evaluations over the past 25 years, I understand the importance of psychological assessments as a tool to help maximize learning potential and be well-adjusted socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. My assessments have focused on areas such as ADHD, learning disabilities, and social/emotional/behavioral difficulties - such as anxiety and depression - in Pre-K to Grade 12 students, college students, and adults. I have co-authored several books on special education-related topics.

Hi there! To begin, I will ask that you complete a brief therapy goals questionnaire which I will use as a blueprint for your therapy journey. This will provide me with a place to begin and will assist me to stay on track with your goals and objectives. I will often refer to this questionnaire to check your progress. Additionally, it is fair to say that though I maintain a sense of humor, I balance this with being a ‘no nonsense’ kind of therapist. I will work with you, doing my part, while asking you to do the same.

Life happens...There is no "money back guarantee" on relationships or experiences or even on thoughts or feelings. When things seem "off" or aren't going as they should, we have to figure out ways to adapt or cope with each situation. I hope to help clients build solid foundations in self-acceptance as well as in their relationships with their partners/spouses, children and parents, siblings, and in all avenues of their lives, so that they can adapt to each situation in a most healthy and positive manner. Personal growth is the key to positive change.
