Bipolar (BPD) Therapists in Georgia

My work has mostly revolved around individuals and families coping with major life changes. Grief and loss can come in many forms - divorce, death, loss of a job, rejection from peers, etc. In the past, I have worked in hospital, inpatient hospice, home hospice, and palliative care settings. Today, I see patients at bedside, in the home, and with patients transitioning to different phases in their life journey. Aside from working with the patients themselves, I embrace strong family communication and problem solving. When parents need a higher level of care, caregivers often feel overwhelmed, ashamed, and dealing with many tasks to have the patient moved to a safer environment. I strive when helping these families utilize the benefits of their communities along with evidence based practice to obtain gains in regards to psychiatric symptomology.

Hello! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work and bring over two decades of experience to my practice. My methodology is rooted in a gentle, nonjudgmental stance, incorporating EMDR, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapies. I am committed to honoring and affirming all expressions of gender, spirituality, and identity. My expertise lies in helping individuals with anxiety to feel significantly less anxious and more empowered. I have extensive experience in addressing PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress management, and caregiver fatigue. Additionally, I offer support to healthcare professionals dealing with burnout and work-related trauma.

If you want a different kind of experience with someone who is open-minded, accepting, warm, curious, and insightful, I can help. We all have a story that's influenced by everything that has happened in our lives, and we are each in charge of the way that story unfolds. I love to use stories, myths, and visual analogies in my work. Let's work on yours together! I have served clients for 17 years and have significant experience with groups, families, adults, adolescents, and children. I am a licensed professional counselor, a national certified counselor, and a certified professional counselor supervisor. I provide pre-licensed masters level counselors with clinical supervision as well. My philosophy of counseling is inspired by the work of Carl Jung who incorporated concepts of archetypes into his theories and I am interested in discovering how we can apply these ideas to our daily lives using a depth psychology perspective. We are all here for a reason and can change the world from within. I'd be honored to help you on your journey.

I help people facing difficulties in their lives to grow, understand, and thrive. My past experiences include the provision and supervision of crisis services, as well as years of work in the behavioral health policy realm. I believe in the advancement of the rights of all individuals as a personal and professional responsibility. Currently, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Together we will collaborate to nurture resilience, foster self-acceptance, and build meaningful connections in your life.

Welcome!! I get it!! Some days life can feel overwhelming for various reasons and you may need someone to talk to. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can talk through some of those feelings and emotions. My goal is to help you figure out how to live your best life. I have over 20 years of experience as a social worker working with adults with various issues including, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and relationship issues just to name a few. I use a therapeutic approach that is centered on your needs and goals. I provide an environment that enables you to be comfortable so you can have an open conversation. I am here for you! I have found through many years of practice that everyone is unique and so are their needs. Therefore the way I conduct my sessions is centered around you and what works best for you. I get it, some days you don't want to talk about certain things or get "too deep". I meet you where you are. Life is a journey and I look forward to joining you on yours and we will go at your pace.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” Carl Jung. The choice to “choose what to become” takes incredible courage, strength and perseverance. To help you get there, we will spend time understanding what's keeping you up at night or weighing you down during the day. My aim is to fully support you on this journey whilst always honoring your personal identity and lived experience. I've lived in different parts of the world as both a child and adult and this helps me to be particular sensitive to, and experienced in, cultural/identity issues together with the challenges of transitions, be they geographical, career/retirement, or relationships. I also have extensive experience of helping with addiction. It has been said that addiction is a "feelings disease" and whether it is a substance or behavioral addiction (e.g. gambling, food, spending, sex), I focus on addressing the addiction by resolving the feelings behind it together with providing practical support for long term recovery. Therapy looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship tailored to your specific needs. My clients say I am warm, friendly, easy to both talk to and to confide in. So, if you are facing challenges please do reach out. And thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

Hello there, My name is Virginia B. Gaddis , and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am a people person; and as such have a passion for helping people.

Since graduating I have worked as an outpatient therapist, a youth counselor, a Family Court specialist and a victim advocate for the police. Mental Health and Family are my life passions. Working in different arenas has allowed me to see how mental health applies and affects all areas of life.

I attended Hunter College in New York, New York for my Bachelor's degree; Master's degree from LaSalle University in Philadelphia, PA; Doctorate in Marriage and Family from Palmer Seminary/Eastern University in St. David's PA. I joined the Philadelphia Police Department in 1982 and retired after 16 year where I was Patrol Officer then transferred to the Philadelphia Police academy as a Pennsylvania State Certified Instructor of Police Recruits and Police Officers; I then transferred to the Philadelphia Police Department's EAP unit from which I retired. I got may Master's and doctorate while a member of the Philadelphia Police Department.

Retired Philadelphia Police Officer; Semi-retired Pastor; Owner, CEO, Clinical Director, Therapist of a Private Outpatient Mental Health Center in Conyers, GA; provide services to clients age 3 and up: Children and Youth, Single Adults, LGBTQ, Church and Pastors, Couples and Families, Law Enforcement Officers, Veterans, Court-Ordered Individuals, etc. age three and older.

Over the course of 11 years as a counselor, I've helped clients overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that prevented them from reaching their potential and enjoying life. I will offer you a space to not only heal from what brings you to therapy but also to develop the confidence to overcome roadblocks in your life on your own. I offer a warm, welcoming environment and use techniques that are backed by research to help you achieve your goals in therapy.

Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control substance use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck. I help people recover from being stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or the shame that comes with out-of-control substance use. I can help you figure out how to get back on track by teaching you the tools you’ll need to manage your feelings and problems and how to recover your relationships. No one needs to go through what you are feeling, alone. If you are ready for a new strategy and to try something different, I can help. The biggest result I could give you is to help you remove barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals. I do this with DBT, Brainspotting, and other therapy techniques. Take the first step and schedule an appointment online.

Do you feel you are everywhere and nowhere simultaneously? Are you struggling to figure out how to find balance or real happiness? Do you want to change your life but just don't know how? Hi, I am Crystal and I am here to help! But HOW can I help, you may be thinking? Well, I can provide you with a safe and non judgemental space in which you can re-focus on what is truly important to you by walking along side of you on your therapeutic journey of self-awareness. Together we will develop a treatment plan that will help us reach your desired outcomes. I have found that incorporating the arts into therapy is quite beneficial since sometimes words can not capture our emotions as intensely or as accurately as a song or piece of art can. I also love to use mindfulness and bibliotherapy with clients and have been amazed at the success of using all of these approaches. You have taken the first step towards your new life already by researching which led you here. Won't you take that next step and connect today so that we can begin your journey? Change is hard, but I will be here to support you every step of the way!

You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. As a woman, mother, wife, and veteran I know all too well the shame that comes with our personal choices and behaviors. I also know there is also a fear of JUDGEMENT when it comes to considering therapy. This is a no-judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

***Accepting new clients and wide range of appointment times outside normal business hours!*** I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients between outpatient clinic work, inpatient psychiatric facilities, and everything between!

I may be a counselor but I'm always Jasmine. I bring my authentic self to each session so my clients can feel safe to do the same. I strive to meet my clients where they are and assist them in gaining the tools they need to accomplish whatever goals they have set for themselves and become the version of themselves they desire. I don't believe in the "one size fits all" method and truly tailor not only my approach for that client based on their needs but also each session. I'd be honored to assist anyone in the journey with mental health wellness. Who said games are for kids? Therapy Uno anyone? Being in the field for over a decade has helped me to build an eclectic, yet authentic approach to therapy. My roots stem firmly from behavioralism, CBT, DBT, and ACT.

I create a space where you can show up—no pretense, no performance—just you. I don’t believe people are broken. The emotions and behaviors we judge ourselves for often started as survival strategies, ways we tried to protect ourselves from pain. Therapy with me is collaborative, candid, and built on trust. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about understanding yourself in a way that finally makes sense. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients through burnout, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning and deeply committed—to their work, their families, or their values—but feel like something inside is fraying. Therapy with me isn’t about performance. It’s about finding the space to set the armor down, even briefly, and begin asking: What do I actually need? What parts of me have I had to silence to survive? You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can be where you start to lay the armor down and reconnect—with your values, your voice, and what truly matters. Growth isn’t about perfection; it’s about self-acceptance and clarity. Healing happens not through judgment, but through genuine understanding.

More specifically I specialize with helping clients understand the purpose drugs and alcohol have served in their lives so they can learn better ways of coping with issues that commonly follow - depression, anxiety, and trauma that lead to low self worth, no motivation, sleeplessness, overthinking, and low self esteem. Together, we will work to reduce your inner critic, reduce your shame, and heal your pain. My goal is to assist people in working towards fulfilling their fullest potential through healing trauma and overcoming life's obstacles. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
