Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Forsyth, GA

I work with individuals ages 14+ experiencing a myriad of clinical concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, and grief. Additionally, I have a passion for working with individuals overcoming complex trauma as well as sexual abuse. Some of my other clinical experiences include working with substance use, HIV/AIDS, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation. Many of my clients are seeking out culturally sensitive care where their identities are given the space to be seen and heard. During our time together we will work on building awareness of thought patterns, beliefs, and narratives that no longer serve you.

As a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, I hold a degree in Counseling and Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Drawing from a diverse range of experiences, I assist clients facing various life challenges, including anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy or seeking external validation.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a dark place where we feel alone, helpless, and hopeless about ourselves and our future.

I know that seeking help when we feel so vulnerable and hurt is not easy, sometimes you may even think that no one really cares so why bother reaching out anyway. I want you to know that you are not alone and I assure you I care about you.

Like you, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tawanda Scales has seen the demise of promising careers, businesses, families, and relationships due to basic “people problems”.

I love working in the field of mental health! It's extremely rewarding to see someone transition from a place of hopelessness to a place of empowerment and confidence.

My goal is to help others determine the type of life they want, recognize the obstacles getting in the way, and work with them to navigate through those obstacles.
