I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, and am based out of Buford, Georgia, United States. I specialize in the counseling of Relationship Issues, Marital and Premarital, Chronic Illness, etc.

I am Ophelia Bates, a licensed clinical social worker. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you naturally have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I truly believe that life is comparable to a journey. As we learn new skills we increase our ability to maneuver around major obstacles, and if we are headed for disaster it is imperative that we change our direction. My therapeutic style is based on the principles of self-respect, personal responsibility, and honesty. However, my professional experience has taught me that effective therapy is a two way street. The therapist and the person in treatment must collaborate in order to get the most out of each session. It is true that making lasting positive changes requires great effort and commitment. Nevertheless, I will provide the tools, professional support, and advice you need as you make each step on your personal journey to health and happiness.

I am licensed in two states of California and Georgia as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. For California clients I can only provide telehealth via Zoom. Talking through your struggles and problems is necessary as life and relationships present their challenges. I am an attachment-based therapist. Every individual has an attachment style which impacts every aspect of life and their intimate relationships. Your attachment style plays a big role in the way you communicate. Your attachment style is your love-style. I have nearly 27 years of clinical and counseling experience helping adult individuals and couples improve their communication and relationship skills. I am also certified in Brainspotting which is an effective method in treating trauma, anxiety and any unresolved negative experiences. Please visit my website for additional information.

I specialize in working with anyone affected by addiction, family members of addicts, and anyone looking to grow and expand self-awareness. I am a certified addiction counselor. I am a certified brainspotting practitioner, which branches off of a trauma modality known as EMDR. I am a certified experiential specialist. I am an anger resolution specialist. I am also listed on the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) State of Georgia site as a clinical evaluator. Addiction is a disease that often pushes us to go against our morals; this causes uncomfortable emotional states that we tend to want to avoid discussing. To begin healing, we must feel these emotions, and to feel the emotions, we need someone to process them with. I have personally experienced the darkness of addiction in my own life and strive to help people see their light!

I'm a licensed professional counselor and a master addiction counselor committed to enhancing life-long growth and improvement. My passion is helping people find their way through challenging life passages and learning to accept themselves. I value genuine and honest dialogue, laughter, as well as tears. I want to help you make the changes you want to make and accept those things that are not within your power. I've worked with students, professors, prisoners, addicts, survivors, vets, and parents, to name just a few. I'm certain we can find common ground to work together. My goal in therapy is to provide a warm and accepting space for you to explore who you are and who you want to become. I believe you already have the answers, I believe you already have the answers and my job is to help you find them. Therapy can be an adventure that helps you discover your strengths and create a fulfilling future. I can be a teacher, a listener, a coach, a guide, or a partner to help you see things through. I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral approach in conjunction with acceptance and commitment therapy, but I’m flexible, depending on your needs. I’m experienced in motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, cognitive processing therapy, pastoral counseling, and trauma-informed care. Depression, anxiety, loss, addiction, bipolar disorder, relationship problems, and adjusting to change are some of the issues we can work on together. My ideal client is willing to accept help, able to reflect on their experience, honest about their thoughts and feelings, open to new ideas, and ready to try something different. I think I'm best at listening carefully and asking thoughtful questions to help you understand the issues and patterns of behavior that underlie your current problems. I communicate by listening closely, reflecting back on what I've heard, asking questions, and offering different perspectives on a situation. I listen calmly, without judgment, I pause to think before speaking, and I try not to sound like your mother! I have always been interested in what makes people tick! I suppose it started with trying to figure out myself and my family And a continual quest to become a better person. My first career was in communications. Along the way, I had some personal struggles, family problems, and great loss. I found help through therapy, 12-step programs, and spirituality. I decided I wanted to help others who had struggles, too. I went back to school for my master's degree in counseling at Loyola University in Baltimore, MD. I worked in long-term residential substance abuse programs. I sought additional training in treating trauma survivors because many of my substance abuse clients had experienced childhood abuse. I also had a great deal of training in treating clients who have both mental health and substance use problems. To be successful in therapy, the client and I have to trust each other enough to be honest. When a client is able to see a situation more clearly, has committed to a new approach, and has made efforts to change, they are making progress. When the client is comfortable with the progress they have made and is ready to practice new skills on their own, therapy has been successful. During our first session, I will introduce myself, and ask the client to tell me why they are interested in therapy now and whether they have experience with therapy or have seen a psychiatrist before. Then I'll ask a lot of questions about their health, family and friends, major life events, and current living situation to get an idea of who they are. Kind of like speed dating1 Then we will talk about what they want to work on in therapy, options for the approach we will use, whether they are interested in moving forward with therapy, and if so, a tentative plan for treatment and when we will meet again.

Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options. My role is to assist you in determining where you are in your relationship; what choices are available for you; which road you want to take. Let me be your guide towards which road to travel. I am also a Divorce Coach and work as a member of the Collaborative Law team of professionals.

I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem, grief, and addictions. I am caring, and empathic, and hope to help you become the best version of yourself so that you can live your most fulfilling future! I use a variety of interventions including CBT, DBT, Person-centered focus, solution-based focus, and mindfulness. Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or not good enough? Do you ever wonder how to move past a traumatic incident from your past? I love being able to help someone realize their full potential, become the best version of themselves, and lead a happy life. I use active listening and reflection. I like for my clients to feel safe and secure talking about any topics in their sessions. In our first session, I will ask a variety of questions that cover multiple areas of your life to get a better understanding of your underlying issues and find ways to best address your issues at hand.

Hello, I’m James! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is passionate about helping clients build a full and meaningful life while accepting and managing the stressors that life inevitably brings. My approach is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (also known as ACT Therapy). ACT is a very active form of psychotherapy that utilizes acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help you stay focused on the present moment and manage difficult thoughts and emotions. I have a special interest in supporting clients who struggle with chronic pain issues, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore your issues and express your concerns. I became a therapist to help relieve the suffering of others, based on my own struggle with life’s challenges and being “stuck” doing the same things with no long-term results. I work collaboratively with clients to clarify their values and set values-based goals. We work together to create action plans that move clients towards living a life that is meaningful and purposeful to THEM! Our first session will focus on establishing a warm, kind, open, and authentic relationship. In the words of acclaimed ACT therapist and trainer Russ Harris, “When we give our full attention to another human being with openness, compassion, and curiosity, that is therapeutic in itself.”

My name is Adriane Alexander, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I would describe my approach to therapy as relatable and genuine. My focus areas for therapy include depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and other everyday problems that clients may have. My approach to providing therapy is to make sure that my clients feel safe. I believe that what we need is "already in us." Sometimes we just need a listening ear and support to bring it out of us. I typically work with clients who have a variety of issues. I am comfortable treating clients that are dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship issues, workplace stress, and women's issues. I can not stress enough how important it is for clients to feel safe during our sessions. I want clients to feel that they can trust me. I have been told by clients that they appreciate that our sessions are a "judgment-free" zone. I have always known that I wanted to work with people. Over the past 10 years, I have worked in various settings, providing mental health and support services to people dealing with a host of concerns. The fact that I can help someone navigate their journey through life is what drives me to do this work. I like to use a realistic approach towards setting goals with clients. Goals can always be revisited and changed if necessary. During the first session, clients can expect to be given a safe place to talk about what brought them to therapy. They can also use this session and any other session to ask any questions that they may have. I also like to give clients an overview of what to expect during sessions.

As a licensed professional counselor with nearly two decades of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. With a bachelor of arts in psychology from Louisiana State University and a master of counseling and guidance from Louisiana Tech University, I have the knowledge and skills to provide effective, personalized care.

I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment. I genuinely love being a therapist and wholeheartedly believe in the power of the therapeutic process. It is my dream that one day everyone will experience the transformational impact of psychotherapy. I would love to journey with you to help you achieve personal growth and set life-changing goals. I believe in the capacity for YOU to live YOUR best life.
