Therapists in Smyrna, GA

I believe we all have an inner drive toward health and wholeness, but sometimes we get stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, depressed or confused in life. I help clients understand where their pain is coming from and offer coping skills and relationship methods for moving forward to a happier life. Through gentle yet honest talk therapy, I use a varied style which includes humor, CBT, experiential, and gestalt . I follow the pace of the client, and many feel significantly better within 8 -12 weeks.

Have you lost all trust with your partner? Are you at a loss as how to stop your child's destructive behaviors? Or maybe your bad habits are pulling you under. Everyone experiences self-defeating behaviors and relationship problems. But it doesn't have to stay this way. With my help, you can change. I have guided many through their hurts, abuse, anger, and depression. As an individual, couple, or family, I will sit with you, creating a safe space for you to be true to you, and help you discover the tools to accomplish your goals.

Over my 30 plus year career, I have helped many to both better understand their issues and then come up with solutions for them. In my roles as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a mother-in-law, a grandmother and a friend, I have a first hand understanding of many of your issues. And I don't just listen; I offer guidance and advice in an empathetic and non-judgmental way. I look forward to talking with you and helping you achieve your goals.

“WE take an eclectic approach to providing therapeutic services. Our objective in therapy is "Facilitating Good Mental Health". We believe good mental health is a journey not a destination. Life can be challenging but it is our choices that increase the level of difficulty. Therapy provides the support and tools needed to navigate life's challenges. Achieving good mental health requires a collaborative relationship, which begins with building a trusting therapeutic environment. In practice, We utilize a variety of theoretical approaches such as Reality/Choice Theory, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems.”

Are you experiencing difficulties as a result of life challenges. Are you struggling with major life's decisions? Are you experiencing the loss of a loved one, spouse or partner? Does your child need help with behavioral modifications ? Do you need empowerment and spiritual healing from a broken relationship? Do you just need spiritual and emotional support in a open, safe and nonjudgmental environment?

I meet every individual where they are in their personal journey to improve their mental health. My goal is to help my clients meet their goals by focusing on developing a relationship and creating personalized treatment plans. There is not a one size fits all approach to mental health care. I look forward to meeting and learning about each and every individual I work with.

Sometimes we come to a place where we realize the life we are living is not aligned with our personal values, purpose, or desires. There may be patterns that have served a purpose in the past, helping us manage fear when we have felt unsafe and haven't had the resources to effectively cope. While these strategies may have helped you survive, they may now be holding your body and mind hostage to the past. Together we can explore these patterns with the goal to help you develop personal insight, learn new coping strategies, and heal into a fulfilled life.

While the journey of healing is a nebulous thing, I believe we are built to do it. We can uncover who we truly are and live out of that place with love. No matter what pain you carry, you can learn to carry it well. There are no easy answers in life and I won't try to give you them. But I will help you hold the beautiful tension of your life with confidence.
