Relationship Issues Therapists in Gainesville, GA

You matter! Your thoughts and feelings matter! You are significant, relevant, and worthy! Let me grab you a bottle of water or a cup of coffee and let’s talk! My name is Michelle and I want you to feel heard and seen. I want you to enter a safe therapeutic space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without being judged. Where you can grow, and break free of thoughts, behaviors, and actions that may be preventing you from fully experiencing your life. Where you can learn to create stronger relationships and develop healthier ways to cope with issues.

I work best with individuals experiencing complications associated with adoption, ADHD, and/or ASD diagnosis. These present as anxiety, trouble establishing a sense of identity, depression, lack/trouble maintaining motivation, difficulty sustaining/developing interpersonal relationships, familial conflict, poor academic performance, and underdeveloped communication skills. I help my clients understand how their brains are affected and how it can translate to their behaviors and perceptions of the world. I provide a space in session for clients to practice new skills so they feel better prepared for application.

There is a core need in each of us to feel known, heard, loved, wanted, and that we belong in a meaningful way. I work with people who are seeking to know clearly who they are and how they can be wholly themselves while being in a vibrant relationship at the same time.

My practice is fairly evenly divided across individuals, couples and corporations. I address issues ranging from anxiety, depression, marital/relationship, parenting/family concerns to life transitions and executive/organizational development. I received my doctorate in 1986 and went on to serve as president of the Georgia Psychological Association from 1999-2000. I rely on a blend of cognitive behavioral and family systems therapy to help clients develop a practical, common sense path to change. The central premise is that in order to change your life, you must first understand how it used to work and why it doesn't anymore.

*I am not able to accept new patients at this time.* Are you at a point where you or a loved one has lost hope? With over 27 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, marriages, and families, I've seen many find hope that was previously absent by using a short-term, targeted, and effective approach to counseling. Each therapist has unique strengths. Mine is working through tough problems other therapists don't prefer to treat by seeing clients in their homes rather than in an office. Most people are able to see a significant change within 6 months. Counseling should not last forever and neither should your struggles

I once heard that finding a good therapist is like discovering your favorite flavor of ice cream. Counseling is not one size fits all.

They may not know their growing edges yet, but they know there is something they would like to change and desire help to get there. My ideal client is motivated, insightful, and open to the therapeutic process. I aim to serve clients who have experienced trauma and are struggling with the lasting effects.

A psychiatric referral is required to be seen by this provider. I am a Therapist and Social Worker with five years of experience in Inpatient mental health working with individuals, families, and groups. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths based, and client centered.

With all my clients, I start by trying to create a completely safe, private, confidential, accepting, non-judgmental, valuing, understanding, and empowering relationship. I believe that these components alone can often be enough to bring the changes you seek to make in your life. Whatever you are struggling with, I strive to meet you where you are, understand your experience, and help you achieve your goals for change. My clients are frequently experiencing depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, and it is my goal to work with them to uncover and heal the underlying driving factors of those symptoms.

I believe the first step and often key to therapeutic success is the development of a strong therapeutic relationship. I focus on developing a safe, nonjudgmental environment for the client to share and develop a deeper understanding of themselves through assessing history, behavior patterns, core beliefs, relationships, values, and life goals.
