UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Macon, GA

Challenges are a constant part of all our lives, but this past year introduced us to additional unexpected and unimageable stressors. Therapy is one resource that may help you navigate through these and other issues. We understand the impact that stressors may have and individuals’ unique capabilities to handle them depending on history, your personality and other factors. We competently and compassionately provide therapy to those struggling with these very issues. We will expertly guide you into defining the problem, exploring underlying or inconsequential issues, and adjusting perceptions to see and select healthier options.

My ideal client is one that is open to the process. I am trained to work with many issues life brings and nothing makes me more hopeful than a client who is invested in their own growth. The therapy process takes work and commitment and if you're ready, so am I!

Welcome! I am over the moon with excitement that you are thinking about working on your mental health and living your best life. The idea that we need to focus on our mental health can sometimes be unsettling, but I am here to put you at ease, and let’s go on this journey together. I want to be in partnership with you, where you are the Captain and I am your Co-Pilot to get you to a place of balance. To quote Gandhi, “A balanced intellect presupposes a harmonious growth of body, mind, and soul”. I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help combat Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management, and various other challenges.

Feeling stuck or hopeless? Having trouble getting out of the rut you’re in? Or struggling to know how to support your child? Life can be difficult, and it can be very scary to admit you’re not doing well. But getting help doesn’t have to be intimidating. My goal is to support children, adults, and families in helping them figure out how to sort through their trauma and build a more fulfilling life. The people I see range from middle schoolers struggling with trauma to adults struggling to figure out their next step in life. Whatever the difficulty, I'll work with you as a team to create long-lasting change.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked in a variety of settings: the Army, a women's center, private practice, Dept of Corrections, Dept. of Juvenile Justice and the media (I have had radio and television spots discussing mental health issues). I work with ages 15- and enjoy teaching anger management skills, general stress management/ coping/social skills and dealing with mood disorders and trauma. I work with individuals, couples and famiies to enhance relationships. I believe that for some clients, the therapeutic relationship is the main factor in the therapy.

Are you feeling alone? Stuck in life? Feeling like nothing is getting better; and you don’t know what else to do to break the cycle? We all go through these things, and it is okay. You are not alone. I am here to assist as you deepen your understanding of the issues and develop strategies to help you heal and achieve your goals.

Have you felt undervalued in your relationships? Have you felt like your picker was broken and you’ve experienced the same relationships over and over? Have you ever felt like you don’t know who you are or what you want for your life or that you lose yourself and your standards inside relationships with others? Have you found yourself repeating the same ineffective behavior while desiring a difference. I help you confirm your identity and develop autonomy within the premises of the familial, business, and intimate relationship that you are involved in.

Did you grow up without a consistent and healthy relationship with your parents due to their substance abuse, mental health issues, or verbal and/or physical abuse? Do you struggle with feelings of abandonment, rejection, worthlessness, inadequacy, and low self-esteem? I want to work with you to develop a positive sense of self and to heal from the past traumas associated with your parental and family unit. Life does not warn you about the adverse effects of having a parent that struggles with substance abuse or mental illness which can leave you to sort out the byproducts of your trauma. I have experienced this exact pain.

I enjoy in working with individuals with mood disorders, stress, anxiety, and people who desire to make changes to improve their quality of life. I work well with couples and specialize in working with Blended families.

I assist clients in developing insight into the source of their behavioral issues and concerns.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.” It is when we are faced with our greatest fears when we are in need of someone who we can trust to hear those fears and assist us with equipping ourselves with life skills/tools to overcome and conquer them. I have over 25 years of clinical experience assisting others on how to achieve their best life. It is my belief solutions to our problems are within us.

I provide face to face sessions at my office having completed vaccinations or can provide telehealth services. My office provides complete confidentiality with no staff or waiting area.

Hi! My name is Nichola Smith and I am the owner of Tranquility Counseling and Consulting LLC. I have over 15 years of counseling experience. I have worked with diverse clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, self-esteem issues, problems adjusting to change/life transitions, and career challenges. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse and grief and loss.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes you strive toward something meaningful. It’s not easy but it’s fulfilling. Other times we can struggle with what blocks us from a satisfying life, like grief or depression or anxiety or trauma. What if you could refocus that energy from negative thoughts and feelings and, instead, pour it into pursuing a meaningful life? More time with family. Enriching a loving relationship. Chasing a career goal. Improving yourself. I believe we can lose ourselves in struggles that take us away from healthy living. You can aim for a way to deal with internal difficulties and engage in purposeful living.
