Do you feel like you have uncontrollable racing thoughts? Are you struggling to get rest or feel rested? Are you avoiding situations, places, or conversations so that you don’t have a sense of panic? Have you been told you're more irritable or “aren’t yourself” recently? Do you think your symptoms are getting in the way of your success or your relationships? I want to help you restore your peace, as you define it. In my practice, I will not only work with you to decrease and, hopefully, resolve your unwanted symptoms, but I will also explain to you why they may be occurring. Many clients have told me they feel less “crazy” after meeting with me & improve their overall outlook on past, current, and future circumstances.

Hi there, I'm Linsey Do you know something is going on with your teen, but you're not sure what it is? Are they more irritable or angry than normal? I help teens learn how to cope with Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD,) situational stress, and self-esteem issues. Are you struggling with any of these issues or don't know what to do with your teen in certain situations? I also love working with adults and giving them tools to deal with stress, parenting, and Anxiety. Last, but not least, do you have a loved one who is struggling with substance abuse and you need to talk about what is going on or learn how to handle situations? I can help you navigate appropriate boundary setting in particular situations that come up. I will help guide you to the best version of yourself and how I will accomplish that will be different for everyone because you are one of a kind. It's hard to reach out for help and I'm glad you did. My office is a safe, nonjudgemental zone where we will journey through a range of emotions together, so expect to laugh too!

I am a master’s level licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC), (LPC) and credentialed SUD Counselor (CASAC-A) (CADC II) with training and expertise in both Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as psychodynamic treatment. I work with young adults and adults and have expertise in treating patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, compulsive, addictive behaviors and domestic violence. I have specialized training in various evidence-based treatments for trauma such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I hope to help patients learn effective ways to cope with stress, manage difficult emotions and communicate well with others. We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. I work with young, midlife, and older adults. I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning. My approach provides support, guidance, and education to help you become the best version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. I consider it an honor to work alongside you, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Are you feeling stuck, unworthy, unmotivated or hopeless? You have goals and you try to move forward, because you know you have a lot to offer, but something always seems to get in the way of your career and your relationships. You feel like you are never enough, like you don’t belong. You wonder how things would be different if you were white, straight, able-bodied or cis-gendered. Every piece of self-help advice you read must be filtered through the lens of being marginalized and having less privilege. You wish someone could understand you. You know logically how you “should” feel and you try to cope, but you find that you just can’t change by willpower alone. It is not that you lack the willpower at all, it is something else. How you talk to yourself matters. A few logistical things to mention. I'm not currently taking new clients, but will open up at some point in June. Please remain in communication with scheduling. If you book yourself, be aware that I may need to change the appointment to find a time if I'm not free. (Grow calender isn't always up to date with my other calenders.)

Greetings all! My name is Angel. Do you feel overwhelmed with the day-to-day and unsure of what you need to be happy? Are you living in the moment? Or are you living to get it done for your family, significant other and those emotionally interwined with you? I empower high-functioning individuals caught up with nurturing and caregiving to reconnect with themselves and create intentional self-care plans. Together we can process what you need to create boundaries while prioritizing responsibilities that belong to you while respectfully releasing those that don't. We'll establish psychological safety, reassuring our time and space together is trustworthy and secure. The Strengths-Based perspective will be used to highlight the abilities within you because life has a way of disconnecting our awareness of how great we already are. This also gives us additional support to lean into when we align Solution Focused Brief Therapy as we create the intentional techniques to support what your mind, body and physical needs are to thrive at your best self. Whether your overwhelm comes from depression, trauma or anxiety-inducing life experiences I am here to help. We all come from various life experiences, so respect for safe spaces is imperative for our journey to be successful. If therapy is new to you, WELCOME. If you are not new to therapy, WELCOME BACK. Therapy is a fluid engagement we all need as we grow! And let’s acknowledge good for you to be in tune with yourself to know there’s a need for change. The core to processing is comfort, so know that there will be respect, no judgment and a goal to continuously secure our sacred journey.

Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly how you feeling, the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in on you. Attacks can be terrifying and I don't want you to suffer from them anymore. You have made a good choice in choosing to get help. Through therapy, I hope to provide a lasting life-changing experience which will result in you feeling stronger and more satisfied with yourself and your relationships. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back. It is important that your know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I specialize in helping clients feel better, improve functioning and improve the different relationships in their lives. I am results oriented with a kind and empathic, yet direct approach. If you are motivated and willing to work toward your goals, we can work together to get there.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for over 16 years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impacts of these are both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders. In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues. It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above. .

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Georgia. My experience comes from providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling for teens and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression. I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors. My clinical experience includes working with a diverse population which includes race, youth, families, and adults given my firsthand experience in navigating generational and cultural differences. Representation for minority groups in the broader world of mental health is still very small, and my own professional goals include creating more intersection between my personal knowledge of western cultures and professional experience in providing mental health support. My experience is varied and across settings, as I have provided individual and family therapy in community mental health agencies, school settings and day treatment facilities. I believe that we are all products of our closest relationships, our environment, our family systems, and every moment that leads to the present us. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Structural systems. A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and calibrate treatment and my approach to what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals. Whether you are working towards enlightenment and insight or symptom-relief and improved functions, my hope is that we can collaboratively work together to achieve it! It takes a lot of strength and will power to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you and empower you.
