I am a Retired Army Veteran and former police officer. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia since 2012. I am very experienced in individual and family therapy, case coordination, and community collaboration, (school systems, Department of Family and Child Services, Department of Juvenile Justice, food pantries, mentoring programs, organizations for the Homeless, Nursing homes etc.). I have worked with local court systems and numerous organizations as a member of the Children in need of Services (CHINS) committee and provided counseling services within Long, Liberty, Bryan, Tattnall, and Candler counties.

Life can present us with difficult challenges, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed at times. It's a significant and commendable step to consider counseling services as a way to navigate through these challenges. I'm Natasha Lockhart, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Oglethorpe University and pursued a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Provider (CCATP). Beyond my professional qualifications, I've personally experienced the complexities of juggling various roles in life. I've been a wife, ex-wife, and mother, and I understand the unique challenges that come with each. I've encountered personal struggles during my teenage years, overcame significant obstacles in my early adulthood (ages 18-24), embarked on a journey of self-discovery from my mid-20s to mid-30s, and ultimately found my true and authentic self at the age of 40. The support and guidance of a compassionate therapist played a significant role in facilitating this personal growth. It is evident to me that therapy has the potential to be a transformative force in one's life.
