New to Grow
Hi! My name is Amelia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. My practice is specialized in trauma, addiction, and dual diagnosis. I also have experience with grief, stress, self-esteem, and relationships. I strive to offer a warm, welcoming environment where all parts of you feel welcome and accepted.
In our first session, I want to spend time getting to know you, answering your questions about therapy and myself, and learning about what it is you would like to get from therapy. I will ask questions geared to learning about you and your needs. You can expect and calm and judgement-free environment where you are welcome to share as much or little as you like, there's no pressure to share more than what you are comfortable to share. This is the beginning of a collaborative process that we will take together at your pace.
I find that the best approach to the therapeutic relationship is genuineness, empathy, and acceptance. This has been the defining factor to my practice since I have begun. This approach allows me to create a space for my clients where they can feel psychologically safe, heard, and supported. My experience across outpatient, inpatient, residential, and crisis settings allows me to help clients create the changes they want to see in their lives. I offer a space that allows you to speak open and honestly, process deeply, and step into your highest self.
I enjoy working with someone who is open to making change in their lives and motivated to overcome challenges that stand between them and their goals. I work best with clients who are an active part of the collaborative therapy process and guiding the journey that we are on. I want to help clients become their best self, improve emotional resilience, and increase their self-esteem.
