Hello, I am Dr. Robert Spaulding, I have a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Psychology, and I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia with over 30 years of experience working in the Mental Health Field. Do you often feel pulled in a million directions in dealing with everyday life on life's terms which can often be quite challenging? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? I have years of experience counseling individuals, families, children, and adolescents with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, Anxiety, Anger-Management Depression, Grief, Parenting, Stress, Self-esteem, and Trauma. I am also Certified as a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and also a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CAADC) with experience in Outpatient and Inpatient settings working with clients of all ages with Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction issues. I have over 36 years in Long-term Recovery, and I am very familiar with the 12-Step Models used in multiple programs. I am looking forward to seeing you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My therapy style is interactive, practical, engaging, empathic, and direct. I believe the key to change in therapy results directly from (HOW) the atmosphere of a therapeutic relationship is initially developed. I believe in creating an atmosphere based on Honesty, Opened mindedness, and Willingness (HOW) with great emphasis on Mutual Respect. This is HOW your counseling journey begins, on the road that leads to your pathways of change. This beginning step is essential, and I am here to help you create a road map and guide you on a journey toward reaching your goals. My goal in working together with you is to help you focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them in overcoming your obstacles. Also, we can explore possible answers to some of your questions regarding your specific issues and help you seek what pathways that may exist in providing solutions to these issues. I hope that we can gain insight and clarity into some of the questions and concerns you may raise.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I provide clinical counseling and therapeutic services using a range of different psychological approaches and modalities; including, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused and Reality Therapy for individuals, couples, and families with an emphasis on strength-based coaching.
