I am retired Army officer and a licensed and board certified clinical social worker. I am considered a subject matter expert in a few areas, primarily cognitive behavior therapy. I chose to be a cognitive therapist because it resonates with me and because it works. Traditional talk therapy can be cathartic and have a relaxing effect, but you could do that with a friend at no cost. I value your time and money by utilizing evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to help you get better faster and learn the skills to help keep you out of a therapists office in the future.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience working in a variety of settings, including private practice, community mental health, and currently state government, overseeing state-funded adult crisis services in Georgia. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I focus on building a strong relationship with my clients and understanding their unique needs. I believe in collaboration, and I work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual goals. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, but I most often rely on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solutions-focused approaches. CBT is a type of therapy that helps people to identify and change negative thought patterns and behavior. Solutions-focused therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding practical solutions to current issues. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and I am passionate about helping people achieve their mental wealth goals. I am also committed to providing culturally competent and inclusive care that embraces diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Hi. I'm Marquita and I've been a social worker for 15 years and counting. I strive to help my clients navigate this challenging journey we know as life. Sometimes on this journey, we experience things such as anxiety, depression, life changes, set backs, and other bumps in the road, but what I've learned is that we can almost always navigate through or around them and keep on going. I use some conventional as well as unconventional techniques to work with my clients. I like to start where you are and not where I think you should be. We will use a mixture of cognitive behavioral, behavioral, mindfulness, and many other techniques to help us solve problems that we identify. I say "we", because we will do this together, but I allow you to drive. That just means I trust that you know yourself better than I do, but I will strive to help you find out just how strong you are and empower you to thrive in your life. We can do this together!
