Therapists in Macon, GA
Hi, I'm Valerie and want to congratulate you for taking a step that can change your life. A lot of people think about going to therapy for years. But often put it off. Then usually something dramatic happens, and you realize if I don't start therapy now I may fall into a dark hole, and you're afraid you won't get out of it. I have worked with many clients who have felt that way, and later said "I wish I started therapy years ago. It really works, and I love having you as my therapist; you really get it.

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.

You’re a high-functioning woman who appears to have it all together, yet your relationships feel frustrating, draining, or unfulfilling. You may find yourself overgiving, people-pleasing, or repeating the same relational patterns despite wanting something different. Many of the women I work with also experience anxiety, periods of depression, unresolved relational trauma, or attachment challenges and want to feel more confident, grounded, and emotionally secure in their relationships and within themselves.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for each person's unique story. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a specialization in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), to support clients in navigating the challenges they face. I believe healing begins when we look at the whole person—not just their symptoms—and consider the broader systems they are part of, whether that’s family, community, or culture.I work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

At one point or another in your life, you may have told yourself, “I need therapy, or I need to talk to a therapist,” which is probably how you ended up here. The truth is that people seek therapy for various reasons: stress/anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, career changes, emotion management, self-esteem, relationships, or general women or men issues. Regardless of the reason, one of the most important things is recognizing that you need help and seeking that assistance. It’s scary to notice when you’re struggling and even scarier to reach out for help.

Do you shadowbox memories from the past? Do you struggle to live in the present because of intrusive thoughts from past events? My practice is for those unable to experience joy or move forward in daily life due to previous traumatic events. There is a way out of the darkness and a path to peace. Together we can find it. Using EMDR and other therapies, I will walk with you as we sift the past and find a life of rest and resolve.
For children struggling with self-regulation, I offer EMDR-based play therapy. Parents must be supportive of home-based interventions and activities that bring change.
