Hi there! My name is Anthony Thomason. I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and have been practicing for over 10 years.

Hi there! Transitioning into college, finding a new job, or even learning that you have a newly diagnosed, chronic illness? You do not have to walk this journey alone! I am here to create a safe space for each client to find strength, process their emotions within their new exploration, and regain balance in their life. As your counselor, my plan is to meet you where you are, with encouragement and non-judgment. My goal is to empower you to take charge and become the expert of your life. I like to tailor techniques based on what you are comfortable with. My most used modalities are mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. You are the driver, and I am in the passenger seat holding directions! I have expertise in anxiety and stress management, college counseling, self-esteem building, career development, and counseling for chronic illness. I like to think that sessions with me feel more like a conversation vs. me talking "at" you. I want you, the client, to feel as an equal. Imagine us sipping tea and conversing about your most recent anxiety-driven experience and how we can work together to practice a healthy way of coping. And sometimes we will add some humor to the mix! I've always wanted to assist others in finding purpose in their lives and to remind them that they matter. I've worked in hospital settings, clinics, homes, schools, and universities. From each experience, my passion has remained to provide a safe space for clients to find balance, purpose, and practice self-care. I like to first ask what was the last straw that guided you to therapy. From there, tell me 3 things that you want to change in your daily life between now and the next 3 months in counseling. The goals are not set in stone and can always be reassessed, this is the first step in the right direction. The first session is the first time we get to learn from one another. I will introduce myself, my hobbies, and what therapy can look like for us. Then the floor is yours! You can discuss your hobbies or even go straight into what is on your mind for the session. I am also readily available for questions you may have within the session.

I believe in the power of therapy to transform, heal and reprogram so that you can lead a full life. Are you noticing difficulty in your relationships? Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Are you desperate for relief from past trauma? I am committed to providing a compassionate space for you to be heard in order to explore your pain, navigate present difficulties, and find relief from discontent and anxiety. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that access both conscious and subconscious issues. To heal from events or programming that have overwhelmed the body and mind, I aim for lasting change which requires neuro-biological shifts, achieved through processes such as hypnotherapy, attachment healing and experiential brain-based processes. I also employ Exposure and Response Prevention techniques for treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I provide a warm and relaxing environment where you can feel comfortable being you. I like to be real and talk to you like we are just two people navigating this crazy life. I'm excited to start our journey inward together and I believe there is hope. The best is yet to come. Whether you are new to therapy and have general questions or have traveled this path before, I am here for a free phone consultation when you're ready.

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.

Have you found yourself constantly apologizing when you have made a misstep, or agreeing to something you do not want to do, or suddenly overcome with anxiety? Or, maybe, you rage at someone because they upset you and then feel guilty afterwards? If so, you have come to the right person. I am a therapist who believes that someone who has a past filled with abuse, neglect, or difficult circumstances has become imprisoned by their past. They have memories deeply engraved in their brains, which have caused adaptive strategies to form in order to survive and be safe. I also believe there is a way out. I can help you learn to reprogram your brain so that you are able to tell the difference between your adaptive reactions and what are thoughtful ones. Also, to find an internal sense of safety that counteracts the effects of an unsafe, unwelcoming hostile world. Thus, to be able to recognize who you really are without needing the previous, adaptive parts to be able to stay safe.

Hey there! If you've been told you're “too sensitive,” or feel like your emotions have the aux cord and refuse to give it back, then know you’re not alone and you're in the right place! Maybe you handle stress by rage-texting the group chat or expertly pretending problems don’t exist (1010 method, truly). If this sounds familiar, hi, you’re not alone. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor. We’ll untangle the chaos together so you can feel more like yourself without pretending life isn’t messy sometimes. My clients have called me “affirming, playful, authentic, and a little playful.” Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for. If you've done therapy before and finished it still missing a piece, then I'd be more than happy to help you find it. I believe that life can be joyful even after experiencing challenges. It's all about finding the balance between accepting (not approving) things we can't change, while skillfully doing something about the things that we can.
