Teen Therapists in Georgia

With nearly two decades of experience working with children and families, I am passionate about helping young people develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. I began my career as an elementary school counselor in 2008 and have dedicated my professional life to supporting children through life's challenges with compassion, creativity, and evidence-based care. I earned my Master of Education in Professional Counseling from the University of Georgia, my Education Specialist degree in School Counseling from Georgia State University, and my Doctor of Education in Professional Counseling and Supervision from the University of West Georgia. I have been a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia since 2014, and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida in 2025. My therapeutic approach is individualized to meet each child's unique needs, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, play therapy, and expressive art therapy. I believe children communicate and heal in many different ways, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where they feel understood, empowered, and capable of overcoming life's obstacles. Whether a child is struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, or social challenges, my goal is to partner with families to help children build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and discover their own inner strengths. I am committed to providing a warm, collaborative space where every child feels valued, heard, and supported on their journey toward growth and well-being.

I'll ask about what brought you in, what you’ve tried before, and what kind of support feels most useful right now.
