New to Grow
Thank you for your interest and congratulations in taking the first steps in reaching your goals and making the changes you want to make! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in the states of Georgia and Washington and live in GA so I am in the EDT timezone. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, work related stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, and Autism. I believe that counseling can provide education, support and a plan for the direction you would like to go. Therapy is a safe place where you can explore many emotions, fears and patterns of behavior that are preventing you from healing yourself and living a life where you are content and at peace. Any answers you need about how to live the life that is going to bring you fulfillment, joy and peace, are within you. Healing requires action. You can heal yourself with some bold and decisive moves. Counseling can provide a plan of action. If you are dealing with life transitions, stress, depression or anxiety, it is time to get real with yourself and deal with anything that isn't serving you. Commit to feeding thoughts, words and actions that are going to lead to joy and growth. I look forward to working with you!
The first session will be spent going over your intake, discussing your goals, and seeing if we are a good match. My approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This simply means that as we discuss what brings you to therapy I may focus on the two things. First the cognitive piece: what are you thinking or what are thoughts/beliefs that you have that aren't working for you and how do we change those. Then, the behavioral piece: what are things you keep doing that's not working for you and how do we change those. I am a support person for you as you determine what your goals are and we develop a plan on how to get there.
I am a blunt counselor. I will listen, I will ask questions and I will seek to understand. I will also be honest, validate you and your feelings and challenge you when necessary. Our sessions will not feel like questions and answers. Our sessions will be interactive, conversational, and an exploration of thoughts.
My ideal client is one who is action oriented and willing to work hard. One who is willing to acknowledge that there are more than one way to look at things and open to different outlooks and possibilities. My ideal client is one who wants to learn new things, new tools, or new strategies versus what they may be already doing. My ideal client is ready for change!
