Therapists in Blairsville, GA

Welcome to Self-Led Counseling! We are a team of dedicated and compassionate therapists who provide counseling to individuals across all age groups, including children, teens, and adults. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, and challenges. Our therapists work under the supervision and guidance of Ashley Marx, LCSW who is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory and has over two decades of experience.

I am here to be present with you as you are. In this positive relationship, you can heal. In my practice I hope to provide a space for you to begin the journey of self-discovery, self-reflection, and growth. Together, we will address the barriers you may face to enhance your life in the ways that are most meaningful to you. My philosophy focuses on the healing nature of connection between people, and I strive to bring empathy, compassion, and presence into the therapeutic space. I am currently accepting clients ages 17 and up. I work with adults ages 18-70 using various treatment modalities and theoretical orientations.

Maybe you are ready to make a shift and looking for a safe space and meaningful therapeutic process to support you. Let's see if I am the right fit for you....I am easy to talk to, warm and authentic. You will feel it when you sit with me. I will support you as you (re)learn to trust yourself and cultivate the ability to listen closely to what you already know. My orientation is grounded in the belief that we are all born into this world with an innate ability to know deeply what we need. We develop layers of protection to survive this world, and I am here to help you get back to who you truly are.

Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood? Wondering why you have a difficult time trusting others, or why relationships never seem to work out? Maybe you have been really hurt in the past, and it's now hard to feel safe? Maybe you catch yourself responding in ways that seem to just make situations worse? It's frustrating. It's exhausting. And we all know it's way easier to avoid these situations but THEN you're lonely and depressed. Therapy isn't just about finding "the right answer" or changing everything you do. Instead, it's about collaborating to find better solutions for living a more authentic life.

If anyone knew the thoughts that run through my mind, they would think I'm crazy or I feel absolutely overwhelmed & lost. I'm not ready to give up on marriage. I long for change. I hear you. Ready to grow, gain insights, have tools to overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, marital struggles, & traumas? Therapy is a gift & an investment. For over 25 years, I've been facilitating a restorative safe-place for you to come & find healing. My current focus: anxiety, depression, OCD, marriage, conflicts, & communication. At Anchoredheart, you will be heard, equipped, challenged, gain tools & understanding, for a more peaceful productive life.

My clients are highly motivated, ready to "do the work" and want to see all parts of their life getting better. Regardless of if you are feeling anxiety, frustration, despair, grief, I've handled that. Is your partner/spouse being a pain in the butt and making your relationship a challenge, 50% of my week is couples work.
