Therapists in Gwinnett County, GA

Recovery is possible! We are all capable of changing, healing, and growing. I support adults, couples, and families who are experiencing relational conflict, depression, grief, anxiety, life stress, life transitional periods (e. g. divorce, job loss, midlife transformations), serious mental illness, and other struggles as well. I am especially passionate about supporting adults recovering from substance use disorders (addiction) and their families.

Greetings! as a professional counselor for over 35 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families struggling with relationship, addiction, and emotional struggles. I am a frequent workshop presenter on individual and couples therapy and have provided counselor training and clinical supervision for over 230 licensed professional counselors in Georgia. I enjoy working with those struggling with a variety of common challenges in life, including relational difficulties, overcoming depression, grief, and addiction issues. I work mostly with adults and couples, but I also see teenagers or entire families.

It can be overwhelming and daunting when facing struggles of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and phase of life stress, especially when you aren't sure where to begin. I have experience working with clients regarding issues of codependency, family members or partners with substance abuse issues, boundary and relationship issues, as well as anxiety, stress, grief, and loss. I want to provide a space where we can work together to explore what works best for you as you strive for healing and growth.

Are you struggling with a past or present situation? Are you feeling sad and hopeless? Are you having trouble controlling your anxiety? Do you need help identifying what drives your thoughts and behaviors? Whatever your needs may be, you and I can work together to change how you respond. We will explore triggers and identify what drives your thoughts and feelings. I prefer a holistic approach with a treatment model explicitly designed for you.

Everyone needs a safe place where they can process a problem or work through a difficult life transition. Whether you are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, or wounds from your past, we can work together to bring healing to your life. I believe in playing a supportive role in my client's transformation toward restoration and self-empowerment. Through both personal and professional experiences, I have come to see how incredibly courageous and resilient individuals can be and find it to be a blessing and a privilege to be able to work in this field.

Life isn't always easy, but getting the help you need can be... You might be facing problems in your relationship, or having trouble dealing with your children's behaviors and attitudes. You could be feeling overwhelmed by stress and change. Or struggling with confusion about directions to take and decisions to make. Whatever brings you here, entering into the counseling process will allow you first to identify and then to build on your strengths. Even if it seems that your resources are few, we will explore and experiment with different skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Step one is to close your eyes and take a deep breath. Fantasize for a moment about the greatest possible version of yourself. Is that ideal person confident? Is that person content? Do you see yourself as more energized and ambitious, or more calm and reflective? Are you more available for the people you care about, less likely to feel manipulated or used by those you trust? Step two is to ask yourself one simple question. Is the person in the mirror growing more like the person you envision, or further from who you want to be? My understanding of therapy has never been limited to treating the symptoms of a diagnosis, or crisis.

Sarah believes that each client is the author of his or her own life experiences, and has the capability of maneuvering and pushing forward through circumstances in life. She recognizes it can be difficult and scary learning and implementing the tools needed to accomplish fears and worries. "It's like exercising a new muscle. It may hurt and get sore by working-out, but the muscle grows stronger the more effort you put into working on it." She has extensively researched the concept of empathy to help clients work through their trauma to develop secure attachment styles as well as understanding perspectives and co-dependency actions.

I am not what you probably think of when you imagine a therapist. I will be dressed casually. I'm not going to jot a bunch of notes while we talk, or ask you to lay on the couch (but the couch is available for laying, if you want). I'm probably going to try to make you laugh. We're going to get some work done in session, but it's not going to be as formal or awkward as you might expect from how working with a shrink is usually portrayed in movies and TV.
