Blue Cross Therapists in Marietta, GA

My approach toward counseling is to treat each individual based on where they are and meet them where they are comfortable. I have an existential-humanistic approach where I help my clients look beyond their immediate situation and look at how they may have gotten to this issue and where do they want to go from here. I believe that there is a reason for why we are feeling and reacting the way we are. It is about discovering the root cause. Whether my clients are going through a new diagnosis, trauma, grief, depression, or anxiety, I help encourage them to find the strength to keep fighting because perseverance is an amazing feeling.

Growing up in Ghana, there was no such thing as talk therapy. Mental health was not a topic of discussion in my culture. I became fascinated with talk therapy during my college years here in America. Over the years, I have felt the need to bring talk therapy to the fore front of all communities. My exprience has been working with adults with serious mental illnesses, children with family trauma and abandonments, individuals and families. I specialize in couples and groups as well. My approach is creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable and sincere in your disclosure of deep and personal thoughts. I am an LGBTQ ally.

Feeling frustrated and stuck with a situation and are ready for change? I utilize and integrate several different approaches to psychotherapy. Typically I use behavioral approaches with children and more analytic approaches with adults. I believe strongly in progress and engage clients in ways that produce tangible and positive outcomes. My ideal client is eager for change and realizes therapy is an active, action oriented process which I can help them achieve.

My goal is to assist clients in attaining a more satisfying life experience for themselves and their loved ones. Psychotherapy services are provided in a safe, warm, confidential and professional atmosphere.

Is there some area of your life that needs to be Healed, Empowered or Restored?

We are a trauma informed agency that specializes in treating trauma survivors. Trauma in layman terms can be defined as ANY event that is difficult to cope with.

While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. All of the therapists here believe that what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. You'll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique or two that you can go home and start using immediately. All eight of our therapists are highly trained, personable, and ready to give you the stills and techniques you need.

Life can present many challenges. Some can be years of trauma, some painful grief, and others are transitions, such as losing a career, lifestyle change, loss of a friend or family member or an identity crisis. While those challenges can seem daunting, there is hope for enjoyment and vitality on the other side of those circumstances. Get a bird's eye view, full of nurture and support, while being challenged to go outside of your comfort zone and to experience life without the pain. Get past your hurt and hindrances, and gain emotional freedom, healthy relationships and peace of mind.
