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.

Starting therapy can feel like the first step in a long run. As an amateur runner, I am all too familiar with that gut wrenching feeling! However, as we take the first strides, the nerves relax a little and we begin the slow cadence of deep breathing as we focus on our next steps. You may decide to speed up then notice some aches & pains. Rather than “pushing through it”, you can slow down and maybe even decide to stretch & drink some water. Once you feel more balanced then you reengage, feeling more confident each mile you ease into. Much like a long run, therapy seems daunting at first yet is so rewarding long term.

Hi my name is Dr. Louvenia Lawson. Do you feel like you don't know where to start? Do you feel like you're not sure if you need therapy? Do you feel totally stuck? Needing therapy doesn't mean you're “crazy”. You're stronger than you think. Things can get better. But your therapist can't “fix” you. No topic is off limits. Therapists are trying too. No, your therapist is really not judging you.

I am licensed in GA and MA. I specialize in anxiety and love working with other providers, healers, parents, teachers and caretakers for patients, relatives, parents, partners, etc. who are struggling with burnt out, struggling to find balance in their lives, and perhaps dealing with their own health and chronic health issues. In this field we often support and hold space for others without recognizing our own limits, exhaustion, sickness, chronic health issues, and need for love and support for ourselves. I value a space where we can partner to create boundaries, healing, and support for self.
