Hello, I'm Kevin Thornton, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I have been in the mental health care field for over 20 years. I guide, support and encourage people to find ways to live healthier lives through talk therapy. I believe that talk therapy works best when there is a collaborative effort to developing a healthier mindset. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to be open to exploring alternative ways to live a better life. I understand that seeking therapy can be a scary process; however you deserve to think better, feel better, and do better. In our sessions together, we will use evidenced-based tools and techniques to help you manage life more effectively. I am honored to join you on this journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In their first therapy session expect a safe and confidential space to share your concerns, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, and begin establishing a therapeutic relationship. It’s common for the counselor to gather background information, assess the your goals, and collaboratively outline a treatment plan. Overall, anticipate feeling heard, understood, and supported in the initial session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
We will be using a person-centered approach, Reality Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are active listening and understanding. I have the ability to meet you were are with compassion and empathy. I will empower you to discover effective ways to mange the difficulties in life. (stress, mood, anxiety, anger etc.)
