Therapists in Georgia

Have you been thinking about therapy and struggling with where to begin? Sometimes taking the first step is the most difficult one. I can help you take that first step with a warm and encouraging approach to therapy. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) using a compassionate, client-centered philosophy. This approach employs evidence-based techniques and tools to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related issues in an accepting, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. Change takes time. My goal is for the people I work with to feel heard, supported, and able to develop skills to use in their lives and relationships. Personal growth leads to living as the most authentic and best version of ourselves. I look forward to helping you grow.

Are you stressed and overwhelmed by your health, your day-to-day life, or your relationships? As a Psychologist with more than 30 years of experience, as well as being a two-time breast cancer survivor and a caretaker for my elderly parents, I can help you to navigate health issues and life stresses more effectively. Life can be difficult for each of us at some point in time, in ways unique to our own circumstances. My goal is to help people through the tough chapters so that they move into better chapters with additional tools to handle challenges and stresses. I don't view people as being broken or needing fixing. We all need someone with whom to sort things through at times, someone who isn't part of our day-to-day mix. In therapy, clients develop more effective expectations by redefining their stresses and challenges, reduce emotional upset and distress by looking at their issues from a new angle, and feel empowered by trying new approaches to effective problem-solving. I would be pleased to walk this journey with you, to reduce stress and find a more satisfying approach to life. Available appointments are those set aside specifically for intakes. I see clients through Grow Therapy on Monday and Tuesday. I cannot do letters, FMLA forms or provide disability opinions for clients who have not already been involved in therapy with me for at least several months. While I really enjoy working with individuals aged 65 and older, due to Medicare regulations, I cannot see traditional Medicare clients for self-pay. I can see those seniors with Medicare Replacement plans which are accepted by Grow Therapy. I only work with individuals, and do not do marital or family therapy.

I decided to be a counselor because I understood the importance of someone who looks like me doing this work. My goal is to create an open and affirming space for everyone including, Black bodies, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those creating healthy non-traditional relationships. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma are common issues that can impact your day to day lives and close relationships no matter your background. By the end of therapy, you will be more confident in speaking up for yourself and creating healthy boundaries. I utilize a strength-based approach that combines different therapeutic modalities that address generational trauma, negative self-talk, and strategies to improve your mood. I tend to tailor treatment to each individual to fit who they are and their needs.

I'm Clay and I am offering in-person therapy in Saint Marys, Georgia, and virtual therapy for those who feel exhausted from struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and challenging relationships. My counseling style combines the best of advanced psychological principles and a Christian worldview. Pulling from both worlds, I offer evidence-based interventions which are centered in biblical values.

My style is responsive, spiritual, and supportive. I adapt quickly and use our relationship built upon trust to leverage real change by examining blind spots in your operating system.

What you are doing right now matters and if you feel lost or ready to give up: give me a call. I provide Specialization in a variety of unique men’s issues like compulsive behaviors, addictions, overall numbness, lack of purpose, difficulties with boundaries, couples and family issues, niche sexuality concerns, veteran’s issues, and anger management.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Therapist. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I finally connected with my purpose. Therapy truly is my heart job. Even before becoming a therapist, I was the person my friends would call when they needed someone to talk to, someone to listen, or someone to help them work through a difficult situation. I’ve experienced my own trauma and difficult seasons, so I understand that sometimes life can feel heavy, overwhelming, and confusing. Becoming a teen mom was a turning point in my life. I knew I wanted more for myself and my family, and I wanted to create a different future. I went to college with the goal of healing, growing, and learning how to help others do the same. Today, I’m passionate about helping people find their purpose, work through the things that have been holding them back, reach their goals, and build healthy and supportive relationships. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their real, authentic selves without fear of judgment. I believe in **practicing what I preach**. If I’m asking you to try something, challenge yourself, set a boundary, or look at something differently, it’s because I believe in the process and understand that change can be uncomfortable. Most importantly, I believe **we all have answers within us**. Sometimes life, trauma, fear, or circumstances make it difficult to see them. My role is to help you uncover those answers, recognize your strengths, and find your way forward. You don't have to have it all figured out. We can figure it out together.

You don't have to deal with this alone. Working together, we can identify what is getting in the way of you having fulfilling relationships with yourself or others. I will meet you with compassion and respect, offer a fresh perspective, and provide you with new tools to help you cope. I approach therapy holistically and address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I utilize breathing exercises, mindfulness, and meditation in my practice. In our journey together, we'll work towards unlocking the harmony and fulfillment you deserve. If you're ready to take the next step towards a more fulfilling life, reach out to me today. I look forward to joining you on this path of healing and growth.

I'm Rebecca Cooper, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in the field. My work blends solid clinical training with somatic and nervous-system-based approaches, and I have a particular passion for supporting women through deep personal transformation and helping them step more fully into their own leadership and sense of self. That focus shows up in how I approach every session, not just addressing symptoms, but through helping clients build a genuinely different relationship with themselves. My approach is grounded, warm, and real, yes, but also practical and results-focused. I'm not interested in sessions that feel good in the moment but don't lead anywhere; I want clients to leave with real, usable shifts, not just a sense of having talked something through. I believe lasting change happens at the level of the nervous system, not just the surface, and I love walking alongside clients as they discover that for themselves, at whatever pace feels right for them.
