Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Rocky Face, GA

Hello! Hola! First of all I want to acknowledge that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, and I commend you for taking this step towards improving your mental health and well-being. As a therapist my goal is to empower others by helping them recognize their own strengths, self-worth and to help them build effective skills as they work through the healing process and regain control of their lives. I enjoy working with all ages and cultures. And I have a passion for working with teenagers and members of the Hispanic and LGBTQ communities.

I aspire to use my skills and knowledge as a mental health therapist to help people overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. I will work with my clients to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where all ideas are valued and respected and where my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions while working to make positive changes and achieve goals. There are many different treatment types available for mental health, and what works best for one person may not work for another. It's important to find a treatment that feels right for you.

I am a bilingual master's-level counselor working toward licensure and I am currently taking on new clients. I love working with individuals, couples, and teens. One of my favorite things about the process of therapy is getting to know you, your past experiences, and your goals in hopes that you might get to know more about yourself and the attachments we have created with those around us. I offer a warm and safe environment where we can address sensitive topics at a comfortable pace. I believe the client is the expert of their own life and we will work collaboratively to address your goals toward change.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Unfulfilling jobs and relationships, bad break-ups, trouble with loved ones, the stresses of family life weigh us down. Our Self gets lost in the messiness of being human. It’s exhausting. What if I told you, it doesn’t have to be this way? There is a lighter path. You can choose to come home to yourself. To Slow Down. Pause. Breathe. Explore. You can choose to know yourself and learn what you truly want.

Hello and welcome! My name is Stephanie Cervantes, and I am a bilingual therapist, with a master's degree in social work. I come from a Hispanic background and recognize the stigma that surrounds mental health in many cultures. I have a strong passion for providing individuals of all backgrounds with the mental health care they deserve while taking into account their unique experiences in life. I believe it takes great strength to be able to ask for help in any challenges.

Monique is passionate about helping others who are in a period of transition in their lives due to unfortunate circumstances. She believes that no two human experiences are the same, nor is the interaction between her and the client. The connection is uniquely its own experience. Monique prefers to keep an open mind and a free-spirited approach to each situation. Monique is compassionate and empathetic when it comes to guiding and helping people process issues of unforgiveness, self-worth and empowerment, relationship building, sexual orientation, sexual identity, trauma, grief and loss, and addictions.

I enjoy working with teenagers, adult individuals, and couples. Human beings are capable of truly incredible things, and I love walking alongside my clients as they make lasting, meaningful changes in their lives. Some of my specialties include trauma, anxiety, marital/premarital therapy, eating disorders, and LGBTQ population.

I recognize that navigating stressors in our current times is more challenging than ever before. Increasing professional, work, family, and other external pressures make it more and more difficult to navigate daily routines and responsibilities. Recognizing past stressors and issues and how they are impacting/limiting us can be an important aspect of therapy that I strive to help people with. Learning tools and skills to help navigate stressors is also essential in therapy to help people feel their happiest and healthiest. Feeling less stressed and less overwhelmed; feeling better about oneself; and feeling happier and less anxious!

I work with individuals middle school aged and up. My client's issues range from ADHD, depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia in addition to phase of life/life changing issues. I work with many LBGTQ+ individuals and work very hard to be culturally sensitive and competent. If we are a good fit for one another, I have no doubt that we can work together to help you get back on the road to enjoy life or feel more confident in what you want to do next.
