Therapists in Lagrange, GA

At my core I am a person-centered therapist who sees the relationship between the client and myself as one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process. I am not only a person-centered therapist, but I am trained in evidenced-based interventions that I employ based on your particular needs. The main modality used in therapy is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which addresses trauma as well as stressful life events such as divorce, job loss and early childhood issues. I am the CEO/Owner of The Veal Group, LLC and a professor which gives me a very unique counseling perspective.

Life can be overwhelming. Stress from relationships, work, school, family and health issues can be paralyzing at times. Friends and family can listen but often don’t know how to help.

Though trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, my humanistic background is the foundation for my belief that true healing occurs within relationships. Because I value the power of relationship, I want you to know that I have personally experienced hard things too. My own experiences with anxiety, loss and trauma all contribute to my caring, compassionate and personalized approach in therapy. I also believe that every behavior has a purpose and a payoff. If we can understand what drives the behavior, then we can begin work on strategies that will develop new skills to help you.

I believe that every client is unique and should be treated as such. My goal is to focus on my client's individual needs and create a treatment plan to cater to those needs. This is a collaborative process where the client will be encouraged to be a part of their own treatment. After all, you are the expert on your life! As a person-centered therapist, I view the therapeutic relationship as the most important aspect of treatment. Once that relationship is established, I assess the client's needs to determine what interventions will help them reach their full potential.

Are you suffering from the effects of past trauma? Do you get triggered in otherwise neutral situations or repeat negative behavior patterns?

This mental health practice centers on healing from the aftermath of trauma, and exploring ways your childhood influences you as an adult. We can process past trauma or focus on here and now with a goal of feeling less sadness and less fear. Maybe now is the time. *Video sessions available in TX, MD, and WA State.
