Therapists in Chatham County, GA

Life can be a stressful experience with many twists and turns. Sometimes we are faced with experiences that are overwhelming, debilitating, and difficult to overcome on our own. No matter the issue it is significant, and you may need help navigating a way to better manage the issues at hand. I have experience working with clients who are at their worst but looking for better. Sometimes, they might not realize what better could look like due to their current situations. I am here to tell you that things can get better.

I have many young adult and teen clients who are actively trying to navigate peer relationships, family dynamics, as well as figuring out what they want for their future and how to reach their goals; clients who are just out of college and entering the working world, maybe living on their own for the first time, making the adjustment to independence and making personal goals; clients who are parents who may also be experiencing life changes, relationship challenges and employment concerns; clients who are among the LGBTQ+ community and have needs of many kinds. All are valid and important life experiences.

Are you feeling hopeless today? Do the stress and anxieties of life feel overwhelming? Is a life trauma or past hurt holding you back from living free? Hope is the power that rallies the survivor to face and overcome all of life's challenges. It is a confident belief that things can and will get better.

I provide individual therapy for adults and specialize in Chemical Dependency. Guiding people to discover their self-worth in order to promote healing best describes my approach to the therapeutic relationship. Support is available for anyone seeking help for Trauma, Codependency, and Addiction Recovery. My experience has been working with those impacted by Substance Use and significant Depression. I enjoy working with people to develop boundaries and healthy dynamics, and to feel confident in who they are.

You know that the only way out of your pain is through it, but you keep getting stuck. My name is Steffan, and my passion is helping individuals struggling in their daily lives by providing realistic, strength-focused individualized options to support you in your healing journey. Mental health is a key component to caring for yourself as a whole and I strive to meet you where you are on this journey, non-judgmentally and clinically.

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress? Are you struggling to cope with a difficult situation or relationship? Do you feel like you're stuck and don't know how to move forward? If so, I believe I can and am able to help.

Seeking help is intimidating. Having to share thoughts and feelings with people can be challenging. Even just having to talk to someone you don’t know can be frightening. I work with people who feel overwhelmed with their thoughts and stress. Overthinking leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to avoidance, and avoidance leads to feeling unhappy. Let's break that cycle!

Reshape Your Relationship! When your marriage doesn't work it feels like torture - You tried to hold it together, but it's just too much. You feel more alone when you are together than when you are by yourself and you're afraid that it is too late to fix this - maybe not even sure you want to - there is a lot at stake and you're not sure what to do... Many couples face these challenges at some point in the relationship and get help to learn new ways to build relationships. The fact is that relationships are very repairable. Let me help you build a marriage that keeps getting better with time as you grow closer to each other.

I primarily provide therapy to children ages 2-11. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT-S); I can see children as young as 1 year old because of my Theraplay training. I most often treat clients with self-esteem concerns, parent-child relational issues, attachment issues, anger, anxiety, and stress. I enjoy helping children feel better, safer and more regulated. In this treatment I also meet with the parents one on one to help them with parenting issues.

Reaching out can be hard (I am so proud of you!) and I am here to help begin the process of healing and being there to help us become a better you. My goal and desire is to help teach you and provide you the essentials to overcome your obstacles. When life gets overwhelming at times, we forget to take care of ourselves. Depression and anxiety does not have to be a part of your everyday life. Additionally, I am a certified provider for maternal mental health which can include pregnancy/postpartum/infertility/pregnancy or infant loss.

I have extensive experience in working with clients of all kinds, including military members. I get referrals from the medical community, clergy and former clients for marriage counseling and individual counseling. I make every attempt to provide effective treatment for all kinds of trauma, phobias and emotional issues using energy psychology, which now is evidence based, and researched for many problems.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and criminal addictive thinking. I also helped many clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Do you ever find yourself wondering "Why do I feel this way?" , "How do I get through this?" "What can I do to feel better?" "How do I change what's going on in my life?" These are big questions, and when we're struggling, it seems like there are no answers. The good news is, there ARE answers. The even better news, you are the one that has these answers! It's true! Nobody knows your life better than you, which means no one knows better how to create the change you're looking for! In our work together, my job is to help you uncover your unique answers so you can create your most fulfilling life.

Life often meets us with many unexpected challenges and transitions. This can lead you to feeling overwhelmed, confused, or stuck. As you navigate these growing emotions you can begin to question everything about yourself and your relationships. As Black women we often feel like we have to carry it all and do not have space to be our full selves or share our honest emotions. I want to support you with feeling more confident to express yourself so you can cultivate a life you are proud to live.

Well seasoned, well educated, and I love what I do. I want to hear you and what you want for your life. I will listen carefully to you and ask questions that will guide you to the right answers for you. You are the expert on you. You may not know that yet or even believe it but we will get there with Ahas and Yesses ... and some Oh Nos. Working with you is a privilege for me as well as my life calling. Both tears and laughter will be part of our work together.

It can be confusing to understand why you may feel a certain way, especially when feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Oftentimes symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and traits of living with ADHD or Autism can overlap, making it difficult to know how to move forward from the hurt you're experiencing. Feelings of low self-worth and shame creep in and can oftentimes lead to problems in life and relationships. Whether you are seeking relief from ongoing stress, hurt, trauma, anxiety, or you just need extra support through a difficult time, my goal is for you to feel empowered and find the quality of life you are looking for.
