Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Suwanee, GA

Sarah believes that each client is the author of his or her own life experiences, and has the capability of maneuvering and pushing forward through circumstances in life. She recognizes it can be difficult and scary learning and implementing the tools needed to accomplish fears and worries. "It's like exercising a new muscle. It may hurt and get sore by working-out, but the muscle grows stronger the more effort you put into working on it." She has extensively researched the concept of empathy to help clients work through their trauma to develop secure attachment styles as well as understanding perspectives and co-dependency actions.

I treat a variety of issues such as PTSD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, self-esteem issues, substance use, trauma, and behavioral issues.

In my work with adolescents, I help them to achieve life goals, build self-esteem, and healthy peer relationships. For adults with substance use I work with the client to find a path to sobriety by treating the underlying cause, using their inner strengths to support them.

Hi there! I'm Laura and I am excited to help you meet your personal, professional, and life-enhancing goals! Therapy is more than a treatment modality. It is a process that enables us to understand ourselves better and to learn new ways to cope with the adversities that life throws at us. Everyone needs and deserves to have support through their struggles and growth. I would love the chance to walk alongside you in your therapy journey as you navigate the stormy waters of the human experience. I will be sure to provide a gentle balance of challenging you and encouraging you in your progress.

Life is challenging, messy and painful. Life is exciting, joyful and healing. Life is life. No matter where you are in life’s journey, the journey of life is always changing. Whichever type of change you believe is best for you, I do believe is best accomplished with others, in collaboration, not in isolation. I feel privileged to walk alongside individuals navigating the inevitable difficulties of life. My goal is to provide you with a safe space in which to sort through these difficulties, while working toward mutually agreed upon goals.

I help strong men of color escape the weight of other people’s expectations so they can feel confident without feeling out of control. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being independent, intelligent, and as indestructible as a diamond, life is hard. When they first come in, they feel both comfortable and stuck. Being “the strong one” is a point of pride, but it also brings up painful and overwhelming feelings. They are world-class experts at masking their true feelings and leading others to believe that they’re fine, safe, and happy. No matter how much they do, their inner critic kept accusing them of being lazy and selfish.

I work diligently to provide a safe place for individuals and couples seeking to address issues such as relationship dysfunction, depression, anxiety, addiction, codependency, and trauma, especially where these issues negatively impact a client's ability to maintain a sense of reverence for self or connection and intimacy with others. I discover with each client his or her strengths and ways to utilize these strengths to facilitate growth and healing. I combine a knowledge of psychotherapeutic strategies for healing with spiritual principles to weave a pathway for growth and healing for each precious soul.

Dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, PTSD, and/or the general difficulties of life can be hard. With that being said, I want to commend you for seeking out help to overcome these struggles. A person’s awareness and acceptance of their emotional complexities can be the difference between living a high quality of life, with no restrictions, and one that is filled with pain, loss and destructive cycles. The good thing is, all that is needed to foster recovery is honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness. These three qualities are the keys to the kingdom, if you will, regarding therapy.

I help nerdy cool awkward teens and young adults navigate through a world that doesn't seem to fit. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, funny, and knowing the ins and outs of their favorite games, life is hard. When they first come in, they tell me that they don't need therapy. They explain that other people don't get them, blame them, and expect them to be something they're not. They can't figure out where life went from sometimes fun/sometimes boring to unmanageable and overwhelming. They talk about their family not caring and not really having friends. They struggle to communicate with pretty much everyone.

I believe that by embracing the dialectic of acceptance and chance, anyone can learn to love themself, change their behaviors, and build their life worth living.
