We all need support in dealing with life's challenges, but sometimes just asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems for which we are seeking support. I provide a holistic approach to therapy by incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other therapeutic modalities, including Brainspotting (which is a tool to access neurobiological trauma experiences that are stored deep within the subcortical brain). Building and practicing coping skills is a vital part of therapy with me. Whether you are looking to learn new ways of dealing with behavioral, emotional, or relationship patterns, I offer my clients a compassionate, supportive, yet challenging environment in which to achieve their full potential. I am committed to providing a safe therapeutic environment for you to learn to use healthy coping strategies to manage the challenges of daily life.

My name is Alexandria LaMont, M.S, NCC, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor currently licensed and practicing in the state of Georgia. Although I am now considered a southern gal, I am a city girl at heart. I was born and raised in Brooklyn/Queens, New York in a multi-cultural (Puerto Rican / African American) household. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Spelman College located in Atlanta, GA. I also received my Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Columbus State University in Columbus, GA. I consider myself to be a “non-traditional” counselor due to my unique approach to therapy and authentic personality. I am dedicated to destigmatizing, normalizing and advocating for mental health and wellness across underserved and marginalized communities. I am very passionate about helping others become the best version of themselves. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, traveling, art, listening to music and engaging in intentional self-care.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times. I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within. As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal!
