My work is geared to helping you discover the person that you want to become. Often, we get focused on life’s stresses, sometimes forgetting to just BREATHE. Allow me to be the life support that you never knew you needed. For 10-plus years, I have worked with individuals suffering from ADHD, depression, anxiety and a multitude of other mental challenges, all at varying degrees.
My strength-based approach and person-centered technique allows my clients to see the strengths in their challenges. Using Solution Focused Therapy I can assist clients in digging out solutions they did not know were there.
Let's tackle struggle and achieve a new you together!

If you are struggling with issues such as substance use, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, self-harm, disordered eating, trauma, grief or depression having the self-compassion to seek help is a powerful first step. I believe that compassion is the key to helping us along our healing journeys. My goal is to work with you develop a compassionate path out of old thoughts, old habits and old behaviors toward your happy, joyous and free authentic self.
When you feel as though your old ways of coping are no longer working, I am here to help you develop new skills, perspectives and confidence in the change you create based on my 9 years of experience. I collaborate with you to create a strengths based personalized path to recovery using a variety of methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness.

These are my favorite concerns I like to address with people:
1. TRAUMA, PTSD, and CODEPENDENCY (people pleasing, inability to say no, fear of upsetting others, lack of assertiveness, chronic feelings of obligation).
2. PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE (manipulative friends, family, romantic partners, controlling relationships, cults, abusive churches, workplace bullying, hazing, sexual coercion, undue influence, toxic people of all kinds).
3. DISORDERS OF THE SELF (i.e. Narcissism, DID, DP/DR, lack of purpose/identity, impostor syndrome, "false self," existential anxiety and depression).
4. OCD, ANXIETY, and PHOBIAS (especially religious/spiritual OCD, existential OCD, and thanatophobia).
5. SOMATIC ISSUES (insomnia, lethargy, extreme fatigue, headaches, hair loss, skin issues, allergies/sinus issues, digestive problems) and STRESS (detoxing from emotional, physical, and chemical stressors).
Do any of these describe you or your situation? If so, I'd love to meet you and talk about how we can work together to overcome your struggles. Feel free to browse through my profile and if you feel so inclined, make an appointment so we can work toward restoring balance to your world again.
FYI:
1) Adult individuals only - I don't work with couples or minors.

What effect do you hope that therapy will have on your life? Are you looking for someone to support you in difficult times? Is it your goal to thrive, rather than just survive? Perhaps you want to explore past events and see how they might be affecting your present.
My name is Teresa, and I would be honored to walk with you as you navigate life. I work with individuals who have taken on the role of caregiver, whether professional or personal, in avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue. I empower others in creating and enforcing boundaries. I also assist individuals in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. I guide individuals who are processing trauma and provide support and care.
I support individuals of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religions. I am nonjudgmental and supportive of individuals who are in any stage of recovery from substances or any other addictions. I hope to create a genuine, caring environment (yes, even in teletherapy!) exhibiting acceptance and celebration of who you truly are.

Do you often second-guess yourself? Do you have a hard time remembering some things? Do you often wonder why you do and say the things that you do and say? Do you feel anxious about… everything? Our lives are like puzzles. Some scenes and pictures are more complicated than others and require assistance being put together. The pieces often get mixed up, flipped over, and sometimes put in the wrong box. I'm here to help you flip those pieces over and arrange them in their appropriate spots to help you gain perspective, increase your self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in a safe, relaxing, validating, and judgment free environment.
I empower individuals in overcoming anxiety, setting boundaries, and identifying and processing traumatic or life altering events that may have been overlooked.

Hello,
Congratulations on taking this brave step forward in your self-growth! Even though you may feel stuck right now, the fact that you are here means that you are actively striving to overcome the obstacles that are affecting you.
I believe compassion comes first in therapy followed by learning the skills to get unstuck from our past hurt or our sabotaging thoughts. I was fortunate to have great therapists help me on my healing journey from Childhood trauma, depression and Anxiety. So I became a passionate advocate for self-healing and growth, having seen in my own experience the life-changing results of therapy.
In my years as a therapist, I have focused on helping amazing people learn to Regulate Emotions, overcome symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD related issues, overcome toxic relationship patterns and go through difficult life transitions such as divorce, death, immigration and financial loss.
I have worked as an individual and group therapist in a variety of settings such as Psychiatric Centers, Addiction Rehabilitation Centers, and Hospitals.
I studied Psychology and Social Work and got my LCSW licensed as a Psychotherapist in the state of Florida.
I’m the founder of Unlimited Way Therapy where we offer bilingual therapy for people who want to learn strategies to manage stress, mood disorders and overcome trauma.

Have you spent much time thinking about different ways to find contentment? I have always felt that life was intended to be filled with enjoyable, memorable moments, where we live our life with a sense of ease, filled with good health, and amazing, safe relationships. However, as a participant of life, we all know that this can be a challenge to accomplish at times!
We are often stressed or anxious about meeting our goals and/or the expectations of others. We have complicated relationships with our partners, families, and friends. We want to live life a certain way but are often faced with roadblocks that prevent us from doing so. Sometimes these things are simple fixes. Sometimes they are complicated journeys that seem to take us further away from our goals and who we want to be. This has led me to a lifelong goal of finding flexible contentment.
I strive to help people find ways to maintain a sense of contentment while trying to resolve challenging situations in their lives. I try to help people tap into their strengths in order to help them recognize that they may have the personal ability to turn things around and work towards meeting their goals. I look forward to working together to help you move towards living the life you want to live and accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself!

Is something inside of you saying that it’s time for a change? Personal growth and development start with a desire and a willingness to try something new. I often tell my clients that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between them and their therapist. Sometimes it takes a few tries but don’t give up before the magic happens; the best investment you can make is in yourself.
I survived childhood cancer and have overcome many obstacles in my life which left me with a unique perspective that emphasizes post-traumatic growth. As a second-generation meditation practitioner, with a Bachelor’s degree in Contemplative psychology, a Master’s degree in social work, and an almost 20-year background as a licensed nurse, I emphasize a holistic approach and understand the importance of the mind-body connection. I bring a deep sense of presence to my work and I will hold a safe and sacred space for you to be fully seen, heard, accepted, and supported just as you are.
My philosophy is that people are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is not so much about giving advice, but more so about acting as a mirror to gently guide individuals to find what they are seeking from within. Together we will identify your dreams and goals and work through any blockages so that you can learn how to take care of yourself and thrive. I invite you to experience this state of being by beginning the journey of self-worth, healing, and exponential growth.

Are you (or your child) finding it hard to get started on the things you need to do - procrastinating until the very last minute? Do you get stuck on the small details and want it to be "perfect"? Or maybe you are happily creating in your mojo and someone makes a snide comment and now you are derailed. Maybe people don't "get you" or understand your need to create and that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and empty. Helping to separate your self worth and identity from the project(s) you are working on is really important but it does not come easy to creatives or folks with ADHD. My passion is finding solutions to these challenges.

I decided to apply to the University of Georgia and sought a Master's degree in Social Work. I have been licensed for over 10+ years. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with healing from trauma, alcohol and substance abuse, depression and anxiety and adjusting to various stressful life situations.

If you have experienced trauma, you may find it very difficult to trust new people. And many people who have trauma may also have fears about feeling judged, or rejected. It can even feel hard to trust your own mind. I'll work to create an emotionally safe place for you to tackle the things you feel are getting in the way of being able to live a fulfilling life, and to get the help that you need.
Helping people to get better is a big part of my life. I want everyone who sits across from me to feel accepted, included and unjudged. I try my best to approach life with empathy and humor. And I hope I bring that into every therapy session.

I have always loved helping people even before I knew that this would be my career. Helping people and understanding what people are going through in their life comes to me naturally. We all go through experiences in life that shape who we are and sometimes we learn and grow from our experiences. I believe in second chances and sometimes we need the right person to guide us on the right journey. I believe my down-to-earth personality and true understanding of a person’s existence and purpose in life make me stand out from most clinicians.

Ms. Currington facilitates an environment where clients can express themselves without fear of rejection or judgment. She currently maintains a focus on adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life adjustments, and/or trauma. She also places a focus on individuals within the Autism Spectrum community who may be looking to gain a better understanding of their diagnosis as well as their mental health needs. This clinician has a passion for helping others through their personal growth and strives on being a support to them through the process.
Emotions are a universal connection point for us, but some experiences leave us feeling more divided and isolated by them at times. Please know this is not our forever 'state of being', and that reaching out for support and care is normal and important to do as needed. I am ready to be a supportive listener and educator to you, your experiences, and needs.

Hello, I’m Yolande Maxius, a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in various therapy techniques, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). If you’re struggling with mental health issues, I’m here to offer my assistance and support.
Navigating through life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and it’s important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. As a trained professional, I provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
With EMDR, I utilize a specialized approach that can be highly effective in addressing past traumas, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health concerns. EMDR therapy helps to reprocess distressing memories and experiences, allowing for healing and positive change. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, we can work together to promote resilience and foster emotional well-being.
Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or the aftermath of a traumatic event, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies.

I specialize in grief and loss. Grief and loss can include death, break-ups/ divorce, relationship transitions, illness, pet loss, job loss, loss of home, or experiencing a move. Even positive life changes in life can bring feelings of sadness and loss. Grief can be overwhelming and can accompany a lot of additional feelings some of those can be anxiety, anger, sadness, resentment, and relief. I help clients by helping validate and explore these emotions, identifying coping skills and support, and giving them the tools to rebuild their new normal.
Other common issues include anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, coping skills, and family conflict.

My name is Kamryn Russell, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Spreading Your Wings, LLC.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families who may be struggling with behavioral issues, communication, and overall emotional success. I have experience working in the school system and with the foster care system. I have a certification in trauma which helps aid me with specific tools to use with your child.
I believe parents are the key to positive change, so I will work alongside you throughout the therapy process. You and your child may be provided tools to use at home and discuss in the following sessions. For teens, I may include the parent in family sessions every 3 - 4 weeks. If you would like to discuss how your child is doing, I prefer to do this at the beginning of the session as opposed to the end, as I want your child to feel comfortable with their confidentiality.
Kids are resilient, but oftentimes therapy at a young age can help change the path to adulthood. Life is stressful, and we all need help from time to time.
I look forward to working with you and your child. Let's work together to spread your wings.

Hello! I work with people who want help finding ways to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I help people recognize their strengths as we work together to overcome difficulties. Almost all of us struggle with many of the same questions.
"Am I good enough?" "Why do I feel like I don't matter?" "Will I ever be truly happy when I seem to make the same choices over and over again?"
Do you want to manage anxiety? Do you feel depressed? Have you experienced a trauma? Do you find yourself unable to finish projects or find your car keys? Are the kids struggling? Whatever is going wrong, a safe place to talk, knowing your trust will never be compromised, is a wonderful gift you can give yourself.
During the first visit, we'll talk about what you want to see happen. Together will come up with a plan. Lasting change is possible. You can create a happy and fulfilling life.

Social work chose me! When I wrote my personal essay for my MSW, I realized social work had always surrounded me. I remember helping elderly neighbors, teaching friends how to count money, and researching services for my autistic brother. There were so many events between those gaps and yet to come. I always desired to help people. My brother’s diagnosis widened my eyes to my calling, but life had other plans for me and I became a secretary. As a secretary, I found myself being hired in the mental health arena, including the areas of AIDS research, mental health, addiction services, and college counseling. Social work is my second career but it's always been my first passion. I pull from both my personal and professional experiences and allow these experiences to teach and mold me.
