Welcome to Authentically Me Therapeutic Services, LLC. Congratulations on prioritizing your mental health! This step has the potential to greatly improve your life and the lives of those that you love. I am so excited about the new version of you. Good day! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in the state of Georgia. I received my Masters from Western New Mexico University and have practiced for 9 years. My practice has a client-centered-approach where I seek to learn about who you are and what is important to your happiness. It could be that your potential is being burdened by messages you internalized in your childhood. Or you may experience difficulty with setting healthy boundaries that keep yourself and others safe. You are only a few sessions away from seeing yourself and understanding yourself in ways that you had not before. The investment that you make in you today is going to shape a better you tomorrow.

I am a compassionate, culturally responsive therapist who believes healing begins when people have space to be fully seen, heard, and understood. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and patterns influencing their emotional well-being. My approach is warm, practical, and individualized. I recognize that mental health does not exist separately from culture, identity, family, spirituality, relationships, or daily responsibilities. I strive to understand the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms. In therapy, I help clients slow down, make meaningful connections, and develop tools they can use in everyday life. I believe clients already possess valuable strengths and insight, even when stress or painful experiences make those qualities difficult to recognize. My goal is to provide room to breathe, space to become, and support for creating lasting, meaningful change.

I truly believe people are capable of incredible growth when they feel seen, supported, and challenged in the right ways. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life—it's to help you better understand yourself, make choices that align with your values, and create a life that feels fulfilling. I love celebrating progress, asking thoughtful questions, and helping clients recognize strengths they often don't see in themselves. At the end of the day, what motivates me most is helping people experience more joy, confidence, and connection in their everyday lives.

Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you’re living? I support clients seeking deeper self-understanding and liberation from patterns and identities that no longer serve them. In a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming space, we explore healing and empower you to create a life that feels aligned, authentic, intentional, and alive. I prioritize communication that is open and self-expressive. I listen deeply, reflect what I hear, and offer feedback that supports insight and growth. This is a space where you don’t have to filter yourself, your voice and lived experience are welcome. What matters most to you shapes our work. Together, we define your aspirations and translate them into meaningful, tangible change. Our focus is on integrating growth into your daily life so that transformation is not just understood, but embodied. You may notice that some sessions are held off video or in a hybrid format. This is an intentional part of how I practice. As a neurodivergent clinician, not always being on video allows me to be more fully present, attuned, and grounded in the work. Many clients find this creates a more comfortable space to show up openly and authentically. That said, I aim to meet clients where they are, and we can always discuss what session format feels most supportive for you.

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.

Recovery is not just about substances. It is about reclaiming yourself. I believe we are all recovering from something, whether that is trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, unhealthy relationships, substance use, or years of surviving instead of truly living. Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about reconnecting with the version of yourself that has been buried beneath life's experiences. I work with millennials who are ready to better understand themselves, break unhealthy generational patterns, and create lasting change. Together, we will explore what is keeping you stuck while building practical skills that help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and intention. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I create a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable while also feeling supported enough to grow. I believe therapy should be compassionate, practical, and empowering. You can expect me to listen with empathy while gently challenging the beliefs and behaviors that may no longer be serving you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, trauma, anxiety, substance use, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to face it alone. My goal is to help you not only feel better but also build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and meaningful. Together, we will focus on helping you move beyond survival and toward lasting recovery and healing.

Licensed Psychotherapist | Culturally Sensitive | Trauma-Informed Welcome, I’m Nubia. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right support, it absolutely happens. Whether you're working through trauma, betrayal, anxiety, divorce, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and care. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, or emotional wounds that have been hard to process alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind those patterns — and create space for healing, resilience, and growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These methods help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — and how to gently shift the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. But beyond technique, I lead with authenticity, compassion, and cultural awareness. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that feels safe, honest, and judgment-free. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to it, you are welcome exactly as you are. Clients often tell me they feel more centered, more empowered, and more hopeful after working together. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and virtual sessions, because healing should fit into real life. If you’re ready to begin your journey — whether you’re clear on your goals or still figuring them out — I’d be honored to support you. Let’s take the first step, together. Warmly, Nubia Anacius , MS,NBCC,LPC Licensed Psychotherapist

I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in working with neurodivergent adolescents, young adults, and their families. My approach is strengths-based, real, and rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow when given the right tools and support. I blend traditional methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with more creative, culturally relevant approaches—including therapeutic boxing, mindfulness, music, and gaming—to help clients connect, regulate, and thrive. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to be your full self. Whether we’re unpacking anxiety, building emotional regulation skills, or navigating the challenges of ADHD, autism, or executive functioning struggles, we’ll work together to find strategies that actually make sense for your life. I believe therapy should be collaborative, nonjudgmental, and adaptable—and I meet you where you are. I also offer mobile and outdoor sessions, recognizing that healing doesn’t always happen in a traditional office. From one-on-one sessions to group-based programs, I’m here to support your journey toward self-awareness, confidence, and personal elevation. If you’re ready to do the work and want someone who truly understands the hustle and heart it takes to grow, I’m here for it. Let’s elevate your genius together.
