Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Evans, GA

Andrew’s approach is individualized and client centered. His therapeutic style is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT, but also utilizes other modalities such as mindfulness. Andrew works to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that are not aligned with their values and goals in life, why these thoughts and behaviors are present (trauma, etc), and why they keep repeating despite their negative impact on clients’ lives. He then works with clients to identify and implement value and goal directed actions, including effective coping skills, which will help to improve their mental health and lives overall.

The therapists at Augusta Counseling Professionals consider ourselves "fellow travelers" and guides along the road you're on.

I believe there are many people who suffer silently. It can be difficult to reach out for help, especially when feeling alone, vulnerable, misunderstood, or hopeless. I often work with adults who have been struggling with their sense of self, though they appear "okay" to others. Many of my clients have recent or past unresolved trauma and/or childhood issues that have never been fully resolved. Many who reach out to me desperately want to heal but feel stuck and don't know how to move forward.

My ideal client is someone who is actively seeking healing in mind, body, and spirit. They're open-minded, introspective, and willing to be intentional to do the work needed to heal. Whether managing stress, navigating life’s changes, or seeking emotional balance, they're motivated to explore what a healed life could be. At The Healing Cottage, I’m here to support your healing journey beyond surviving…to thriving.

Often times life can seem overwhelming, it can be hard to know the right decision when navigating through daily tasks. Dealing with current stressors, balancing work, maintaining relationships all while still finding time for ourselves. However, slowing things down and taking time for ourselves is the first step to healing. Unhealed wounds can continue to impact us and show up in unhealthy ways, ultimately holding us back from reaching our goals.

You aren't sure how life got to this point. Starting another day is going to take energy that you just don’t have.

Even your relationship with yourself? You may find yourself pulling away from others in exhaustion or frustration, but also fearing they are pulling away from you. Perhaps you have faith and hope for the future, but lately even your faith has felt distant from you.
