Therapists in Georgia

Hello! I have been a licensed professional counselor for the past 7 years. My goal as a therapist is to offer support to navigate through small stressors that tend to grow into bigger problems. I offer support in navigating through trauma, depression, anxiety, family conflict, low self-esteem, parenting concerns or everyday life stressors. As a therapist, I want to advocate for you and encourage motivation to succeed in spite of obstacles. Therapy is a big step to take. It's okay to feel overwhelmed in life with multiple responsibilities as a student, parent, friend, or significant other. Opening up about your fears, worries, and struggles in life can leave you feeling vulnerable. I want you to feel seen and heard without fear of judgement. I advocate for my clients. I aim to become one of your biggest supporters. I believe in education on tools that you can use to lead a tolerable day to day life.

Welcome! I'm Felicia. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about your career, friendships, or family, you’re not alone. Recognizing the need for support is a powerful first step, and I’m here to help you navigate the rest of the journey. I work with clients who are ready to improve their lives but may feel unsure of where to start. Together, we’ll identify practical tools and strategies to overcome challenges, set healthy boundaries, and build the confidence needed to create meaningful change. Counseling can help you move from feeling stuck to thriving. Let’s work together to bring your goals to life and create the future you deserve. When you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you.

I believe my role as a therapist is similar to both a detective and a tour guide in helping you navigate and explore who you are, where you've been, who you want to become, and where you want to go. I am also a personal trainer, certified nutrition coach, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, providing separate services in those areas as well.

Hi. I am a middle-aged married mother of one grown and one smaller child. Our next anniversary will be 12 years for us. We were both married before finding each other, so there is a history of blending families with children. I am a Christian and Jesus is the foundation of my life. "Through Christ, we can do all things." Philippians 4:13. I have my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience in private practice settings and working in a community service board (CSB). I have led anger management groups. I have worked with ages from childhood to the elderly. I have worked with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, traumas, abuse, bipolar disorder (manic episodes), suicidal ideations, personal growth (career, etc.), and spiritual development. Life can be quite challenging. Many times we are facing situations that we are not prepared for or have prior hurts that affect our ability to overcome. When we get into these places it is easy to feel stuck or even blind to what is really going on. It is easy to shut down and isolate out of fear of what others may think. I enjoy providing a safe, warm, and caring environment to help you pull down any walls or barriers so you can face the situation head-on. Many past clients have shared how I have helped them see things in a different light so they were able to rise above the challenges and grow during the process. "All things work together good for those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 You were created for a purpose and I want to help you discover what that is while helping you equip yourself better for it.

I have specialized training in various evidence-based treatments for trauma such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I hope to help patients learn effective ways to cope with stress, manage difficult emotions and communicate well with others. We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. I work with young, midlife, and older adults. I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning.
