I love working with individuals and couples that that are ready to heal and grow from their past and become a better version of themselves. My clients are eager to heal but don't have the specific tools needed to make their goal(s) a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and anxious about their current situation and need a boost of hope, positivity, and motivation to get started on their healing journey.
Shonta Thomas offers therapy covered by Medicaid - Peach State Health Plan and Peach State Health Plan (Managed Medicaid) in Georgia.
I utilize CBT with clients by empowering them by helping them with taking an active role in their treatment process and develop necessary skills they can use long after therapy has ended.
I utilize mindfulness to help clients with becoming more aware of their thoughts, feelings and sensations in the present moment without judgment. In doing this, it helps clients develop a greater sense of calm, clarity and emotional regulation.
I utilize MI to help clients with finding their own motivation for change, growth and healing which makes the process more sustainable and meaningful.
