Therapists in Cobb County, GA

Too often individuals feel hopeless and discouraged with the direction of their life. They may have lost interest in things they use to enjoy. Some individuals may be struggling with overcoming past traumas and hurts, and these events from their past are preventing them from being their authentic self. Individuals seek counseling for a variety of reasons, and all are valid concerns. However, I am not here to judge you, but instead I am here to walk with you while we explore your life's journey and determine ways to help you find your true self.

Are you or do you know someone who is suffering from problems such as depression, anxiety,anger or addiction? Many of us at times find ourselves or our loved ones trapped and having difficulty finding a way out of the problems life brings. Through the suffering and the pain we are tempted to give up in despair, unable to see a way through the confusion and hopelessness.As a Christian counselor I seek to minister to the mental, emotional and spiritual needs of the individual, couple or families who may be struggling with various problems.

Therapy has a way of helping you grow from within. Therapist do not have the answers, just a way of helping you toward your own solutions. Sometimes just breathing can seem difficult & we begin to feel overwhelmed with daily life stressors. When we share these challenges, we open ourselves for change, growth, & hopefulness. Children in therapy can learn emotional awareness & coping to guide them to adulthood. Even if you have previous unfavorable experiences with therapy or you are apprehensive about the thought of entering therapy, I encourage you to contact us for more information on the benefits of therapeutic relationships.
