We all face challenges—some big, some small—that can deeply impact our lives. These struggles can feel overwhelming, draining our mind, body, and spirit. I understand this personally, having walked through my own experiences with depression and anxiety. With the support of God, professionals, and family, I was able to grow stronger through those difficult times. My journey led me from Nursing into the field of Counseling, where I now feel called to help others find hope, healing, and strength in the midst of their own challenges.

Greetings! Secular psychotherapist here. Is taking care of everyone but yourself breaking you down? Tired of being called “co-dependent”? Do you have beliefs that are different from others and feel a little “off”? Are you becoming more and more anxious or depressed? You're not alone. I help those looking for a professional confidant and can help with processing difficult transitions and even traumas. Maybe the transition you are going through is attempting to take care of aging parents while raising a family of your own. Or perhaps you are having difficulty setting boundaries with a toxic person in your life. Perhaps you are having difficulty with relationships due to a past that seems ever so present. My therapeutic style is empathetic and interpersonal. Person-centered. I use evidence-based talk therapy (Acceptance & Commitment, Narrative, etc.) and mindfulness techniques. I believe in our getting to know one another well over time. I welcome diversity in my practice, including those with other than traditional orientations: religious, sexual, gender, or otherwise.

Hi, my name is Janice Barrocas. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in counseling people who are losing good eyesight.

She went on to describe how many therapists she'd tried over the years who did not understand the medical aspects and psychological issues present with an acquired disability. This is why I became a therapist. People who feel see, heard, and understood are are better able to adjust to vision loss, including career changes and tension in personal relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Georgia. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and life-changing medical diagnoses. My compassionate and encouraging approach to therapy is founded on the belief that therapy should offer a safe space for introspection and self-discovery. Therapy is a collaborative effort that requires openness without judgment. It is a tool to empower oneself to realize the true power one already holds within. As a therapist, I have a down-to-earth, encouraging and direct style. I combine my education and experience to help my clients navigate their unique challenges and achieve their goals. Let's embark on this therapy journey together to overcome those internal battles holding you back!

Welcome! I'm Alisha Do you find yourself attempting to dismiss negative thoughts or memories? Possibly avoiding situations, scenarios, and places that remind you of something not so great? Do these memories invoke some kind of negative belief about yourself that you know is not true? Do you desire to decrease the intensity of these memories, thoughts or experiences so they are no longer as intrusive and demanding of your attention? I empower those who are ready to address some of the things from the past or the present that may be presenting a mental and emotional weight on functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.
