Find a Therapist in Fayetteville, GA

Hi, this is Lauren A. Evans, LMFT. I will help you take control of your life through the power of your own mind. I desire to provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to feel validated and empowered.

My name is Christine Pound. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Ellijay, Georgia and currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I am a compassionate and supportive therapist who is currently working with adults in all phases of life experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as those experiencing stress from current or past life challenges. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidenced based practices in a holistic, solution focused approach to help clients strengthen their sense of self-worth and their unique set of healthy coping strategies. Because each client deserves an approach that is as unique as s/he is, therapy with me is not a �cookie cutter� approach. My focus is on enhancing self-awareness, self-compassion and intra/interpersonal skills using eclectic, complementary evidenced based modalities, including most frequently Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, mind-body therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Through a strength-based and client-centered lens, we explore symptoms and customize a toolkit of skills and strategies for you to manage anxiety, depression and/or targeted behaviors and obtain positive outcomes.

Hi, I'm Susan Spissman. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2014, but knew I wanted to be a counselor since the age of ten. I've helped hundreds of clients thrive in life and business with solution-focused tools, and I am committed to equipping you to do the same. My approach to therapy depends on the client's needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, coaching, breath work, mindfulness, neurological techniques, and multiple other evidence-based modalities. I am open to counseling from the Christian perspective, as well as other perspectives. My approach is geared towards high-achieving individuals who are driven to succeed. They often struggle with burnout, worklife balance, high levels of stressanxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, and performance mentality. This can be further complicated by their Christian upbringing, and not knowing how to reconcile success with spirituality. Clients often tell me that they feel more peaceful when talking with me. I have a calm demeanor and soothing tone. I regard all clients with honor - this is a judgment free zone. I have wanted to help people through counseling since ten years of age. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It is my greatest joy in life to see others thriving, successful, and fulfilled. My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative. I believe that we can work together to accomplish client desires through open communication. We'll have check-in points along the way to stay on track, and measure progress. During our first session you can expect us to explore what brought you to therapy, and what you want to accomplish during our time together. I'll ask questions to better understand the situation, your feelings, your thoughts, and what you want to be different in your life. I will do my best to help you feel at ease with sharing personal information.

I am a true Georgia peach, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I have the training and experience but during sessions, you will never feel as if you are being judged or analyzed. I believe we are all human and we can't ignore that the main key to being human is empathy. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management from Troy University and Master of Science in Marriage Family Counseling Therapy from Capella University. I incorporate solution-focused, person-centered, and CBT approaches when working with clients, providing a holistic perspective of mind, body, and spirit. My ideal client is one who is open and willing to answer those tough, honest, and thought-provoking questions in order to foster personal growth. My communication style is candid and genuine. I pride myself on authenticity. I was finishing my program in Human Resources and took a few psychology courses. It was while taking those courses that I learned how much I loved the field. So it was at that point I decided to pursue a career in counseling therapy. I chose marriage family counseling therapy because the training focuses more on the system (environment, work, family, etc) rather than only on the individual or the individual being the problem. This is why I approach what is going on by looking at all factors of life that could be playing a role in decreasing your quality of life. My goal for clients is to be able to find peace of mind no matter the circumstances. That comes with a lot of mindfulness and acceptance. During our first session, I will share a little history about myself then we will discuss your history along with collaborating on goals you hope to reach through therapy.

My name is Tori, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective with an emphasis on Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Processing Theory, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts and Mindfulness Techniques, and some Feminist Theories as well. I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy.

I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth. I prefer to work with adults. I have experience with depression, anxiety, BIPOC, relationship issues, self-care, body positivity, LGBTQ+ affirming care, trauma, self-esteem, processing the impacts of systemic oppression and capitalism, grief, and much more. To me, it is essential to create a safe, judgment-free, supportive, empathetic, inclusive, warm, and empowering environment for my clients. The best analogy I can use to describe what it feels like working with me therapeutically is: Imagine we are in a car. You are driving, and I am in the passenger seat. Along the path, you decide where we go and which turns we make. I may make an observation or shed some light on a caution sign you might have missed previously, but no matter what turns you take, I am right there with you supporting you on this journey. We may encounter some rough terrain, but you will not have to manage it alone." I always knew I wanted to be in the helping field. My mission in life has always been to positively impact the lives of others. When it came time to decide on a career path, this made the most sense for me because my whole life, I naturally found myself in the role of providing emotional support for friends, family, and even strangers. We set expectations and goals for therapy in the first two sessions. As we continue and adjust over time, we will revisit the goals as needed along the way to make any necessary changes. The first session is much more structured than most of our sessions will be because we will be reviewing informed consent, completing intake information, creating goals for therapy, and discussing your previous experiences in therapy so I can have a clear understanding of what you valued from that experience and what didn't work for you.

My name is Jivanda Martin MA, LPC, CPCS, CAMSII. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. I have over 24 years of experience in the mental health field. The therapeutic modality I use the most is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it historically gets positive results in a short period of time. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling in a safe, positive and optimistic atmosphere. I provide the support needed to share, become aware and address life challenges in a way that result in a treatment plan designed to meet your unique and specific needs. My experience with diverse participants has allowed me to acquire the therapeutic and coaching skills needed to work effectively with youth, adults and seniors from all walks of life to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss, physical trauma or emotional abuse, as well as important life transitions. I have an assertive communication style that lends to empathy and the development of a positive therapeutic rapport. I provide an atmosphere in which you can be heard, validated and understood. In this environment, your true authentic self will be celebrated and improved through the development of awareness. I decided to be a therapist over 30 years ago while in college. I believe that the key to life is to find what you do well and to make a career doing it. I have always had an affinity for compassion, understanding, empathy and validation. The field of psychology allows me to exercise this affinity while helping others. Goal setting is approached through a series of open-ended questions to address the clients unique needs. The first session is information gathering and goal setting in an effort to create the foundation and direction of the therapeutic process.

Hi! I am Dr. Malissa Collins, a licensed professional counselor(LPC) in Georgia specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My approach is warm and compassionate. My focus is to meet clients where they are and teach them ways to successfully navigate through life to meet goals. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, families, and couples. My Ph.D. is in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clients appreciate my warmth, nonjudgmental style. It helps to make them feel relaxed and confident. I knew in high school that I wanted a career in the psychology industry because my friends told me I had a natural “knack” for listening and helping. They would say, “You’re easy to talk to”…my drive comes from living my purpose. I find value in helping others reach happiness. Because I primarily use CBT strategies to help clients reach therapy goals, the focus begins with cognitive restructuring…awareness of potential faulty core beliefs about self and the world. My first sessions include getting to know you as a partner in this therapeutic relationship. This means I will ask questions to learn as much about you as possible. The goal is to build trust in each other.
