EMDR Therapists in Cartersville, GA

Ever wondered why there are some things you just can't get over no matter how hard you try? Why you feel the way you feel and no matter how hard you try you still feel the same way. I have spent the last 20 years working with client's and identified some creative approaches to use alongside the many evidences based therapies I have been trained in. I would love to help you resolve those issues you may feel are beyond hope.

Have you been struggling to adjust to long standing trauma or changes that have been occurring? As an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care, I specialize in helping adults and adolescents navigate life transitions such as divorce, becoming a parent, or adjusting to college. My passion lies in empowering clients to build self-worth and self-esteem, effectively work through traumas, and process their emotions. With a compassionate and supportive approach, I am dedicated to guiding you towards a path of healing and growth. Let's work together to overcome challenges and achieve a more fulfilling, balanced life.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am humbled to walk with people in the middle of their pain into a place of healing. I see you as a whole person and not a diagnosis. I foster an environment of safety and entering into your adversity. My goal is to help you on the journey to healing and hope. If faith and spirituality is something clients are interested in then; she is a trained Christian Counselor. She uses the integrative approach to meet people where they are at. (The integrative approach uses both psychology and biblical principles to treat the people on a holistic level.)

"No one understands what I'm going through!" Do you feel this way? Many times, when we experience crisis or stress, it is very normal to feel like no one understands. My goal is to serve those who struggle with Trauma, Personality Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, and other Emotional Disorders. I believe trauma whether one time incident or ongoing incidents can be the root cause to other mental health issues. That is why my treatment plans are unique to each individual and their specific issues and circumstances. My philosophy is that anyone can overcome anything, with the right help.

I enjoy the work I do with individuals and couples, as we explore their journey. I see counseling as coming along side the client and exploring their "right answers" as they trudge their road to happy destiny. I am thrilled as I see clients thrive and change as they explore their opportunities. I have 40 plus years of experience in the treatment of adolescents and adults. I have worked in both residential treatment and community based programs.

Stressed? Depressed? Feel stuck? Life doesn't have to stay that way. Since 2013, I have offered high-quality counseling services to individuals, couples, and families in Northwest Georgia. My goal is to promote personal mental-health and well-being to those in need. I create a safe space for you to explore the things that are holding you back and reclaim the peace, joy, and harmony that you desire. By creating an individualized treatment plan for you, together we will assess your presenting problem(s), identify your goals, and work to help you find solutions. The journey to the 'you' that you want to be can begin today!

Are you needing a place that you can talk about your issues that feels safe, warm, non-judgmental and compassionate? Would you like to feel better on a more regular basis? Would you like to align the way you want to think with the the way you want to feel? Would you like to resolve the difficult experiences that have created difficult thoughts and feelings? I am educated in the most helpful types of counseling for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues and other types of difficulties. I'm interested in exploring your values, beliefs and goals to create an individualized experience.

I work with people who are doing the best they can, want to do better, and are motivated towards positive change. Often clients come into treatment because their "best" just isn't effective anymore and they don't know what else to do or try. This is where my education, experience, and expertise can help. I believe that the client is the expert about their lives, their goals, and what works for them. I also believe that DBT and mindfulness can help us make positive change to create a life worth living. I strive to create safe and accepting space for clients so that they can achieve their goals and live their best life.

Do you ever feel like there's so much going on that you can't quite catch your breath, much less sort out all the thoughts going through your mind? Being a person in today's world is demanding and depleting. There's always "one more thing" to do and yet there's not enough time to get it all done. There's always ways to "be better" and yet who has the energy left to try?

Hi, I am Ellen Thomas, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Macon, Georgia. I did my undergrad at Auburn University and completed my masters at Mercer University. I have been counseling children, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups for ten years.

I enjoy working with the young adult population, especially those in college, grad school, or just entering the professional work world. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, and social anxiety, traumatic stress (PTSD), depression including suicidal thoughts, or relationship issues, I can help you better understand how things impact you and figure out the best way to address these concerns to find some relief.

There is a quote floating around that goes something like "trauma is not your fault, but healing is your responsibility." Regardless of whether your suffering has been self inflicted or a result of someone else choices, I want you to know you have the power within you to rise up and transform. No one goes through life unscathed but without healing our pain gets transferred to many, if not all, areas of our lives. This can often look like depression, anxiety, shame, fear, addiction, etc.
