Change! It is the one thing in life that is constant, yet certain.

Greetings to you and thanks for checking out this page. My name is LaShanda and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia with over 10 years of experience working with diverse clientele on a large array of challenges and concerns.

My love of counseling stems from an intense desire to act as a catalyst in the process of helping clients achieve their goals. I believe that the counseling relationship is unique in that the counselor is only as successful as the client. The symbiotic relationship between counselor and client should be made up of trust, acceptance, respect, and a desire to mutually work hard to create a more fulfilling life.

Making the decision to seek help is the first step to realizing that you have the power and choice to create the life you desire. Work can be stressful, school can be hard, raising children is challenging and relationships change. All these challenges can have an intense impact on your mood, thoughts and motivation to participate in daily activities. It is the passion of SSA Counseling to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be, to find resolution regardless to what that may look like.

I'm excited to join you on the journey to a more positive future. Everyone has the power to overcome adversity and be their best self. I approach therapy as a collaborator to those struggling to find their path. Successful therapy is different for everyone. I individualize therapy for your unique personality and special challenges. I will teach you tools to better prepare for the daily challenges of life. We will achieve insight into your feelings and experiences and set goals together in a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can be your true self. I'm seeing clients in Alpharetta and in Savannah, GA.
