Find a Therapist in Woodstock, GA

Hello, I am Sherry aaker. I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of GA and FL. My focus is depression, anxiety, trauma, military veterans, and caretakers.

My name is DeLasea "Renee" Sloan, LPC. I have been working in the field of Mental Health for over 18 years. I utilize a fusion of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Holistic, Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), Solution Focused Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, Intervention, etc.

I believe that creating the life we want requires intention. Counseling is the process of naming what we want and value, identifying the obstacles to creating that life, and then working to address those obstacles so that we can live life to the fullest. Obstacles come in many forms, from past trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and so much more. I have a passion for walking side by side with my clients as they embrace both the past and present so they can step confidently into their future!

My name is Lina Munoz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Atlanta, Georgia, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I provide trauma-informed therapy to youth, adults, and families from different cultural backgrounds. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client and family I work with. I most frequently use a systemic and psychodynamic approach, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of the underlying issues and elements that are limiting their functioning, taking into consideration personal and environmental factors that influence behavior and performance. I allow special emphasis on the emotional experiences of my clients and how these emotional experiences inter-relate and impact their relationships.

Are you struggling with work, family, school, friendships, or self-esteem? I've worked with clients from all walks of life and assist clients develop emotional awareness, depression and anxiety management by teaching them alternative coping skills, communication and problem-solving skills so they can began to feel more in control of their emotions, feelings and behavior. I approach therapy by listening to to understand my client's needs, wants & their concerns we then work to find solutions. I meet the client where they are, work at their pace to allow time to process feelings & gain insight into their lives & relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & tools from IFS, EMDR, DBT & MI to help teach clients skills to alleviate stress, manage emotions, improve self confidence and find ways to feel stable. I provide homework to those who desire tools to work on between visits and help clients learn to understand, reframe negative self-talk, reduce excessive worry and improve your mood. Clients seek me out for support to cope w anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, stress & conflict management. Contact me if you need support because you're feeling overwhelmed & unsure how to cope or where to start on the journey to healing.

My approach to building a therapeutic, mutually respectful relationship involves empathy, compassion, humor, and normalize client feelings. I work to help clients know they are not alone and to tap into skills and strengths they've used in the past to manage life's challenges. I grew up in a rural community in Southeast Georgia. I felt awkward and sometimes alone because of social anxiety. After going away to college, all of those insecurities followed me, right into my first professional career opportunity. After I started therapy, I realized, that was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE FOR MYSELF! If I could have told my younger self, its okay to feel different just keeping loving love yourself. Therapy was not what I expected; I found helped, support, unconditional understanding and was able build my confidence and develop tools to cope with life's challenges. I became a therapist to help others understand themselves and develop skills and tools to cope, find insight and self acceptance and know they are not alone. I work with clients to identify goals based on their treatment needs and personal goals. I take a collaborative approach and develop goals which are realistic and helps develop skills to reach goals. Lastly, my approach is to encourage individuals to develop small, consistent changes in thinking, feeling, and behaving to help recognize their progress and gain hope that change is possible. During the first session, we will meet for 60 minutes. Clients are allowed time to share openly and release the pressures of keeping things bottled up inside. I'll ask specific questions to help me gain insight about their treatment needs. The first visit is to work on building rapport and information gathering so that I know how I can best help meet your needs to develop goals.

Hi, I'm Jasmine McCully. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings that include private practice, hospitals, non-profits, government, behavioral health outpatient clinics and treatment facilities, and inpatient psychiatric treatment facilities. Inviting someone into your most personal space can be intimidating, scary, and daunting. Getting to this point of reading my bio is a huge step.

I also integrate mindfulness, journaling, and meditation, just to name a few!

Counseling can be an effective way to alleviate distress, discover better ways to solve problems, learn new ways of relating to others, or change long-term behavior problems. However, counseling may also involve the risk of remembering unpleasant events and may arouse other emotions, which may affect how you relate to others. I recognize that personal change is often a difficult process. I strive to provide a supportive, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. The counseling relationship allows you to seek perspective through a mutual, accepting, empathetic, and authentic relationship. With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, my therapeutic orientation involves Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, specifically Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which is committed to promoting emotional well-being through short-term therapy with long-term results. I also utilize a variety of techniques in counseling, including Reality Therapy, which focuses on problem-solving, rebuilding connections, and goal-setting. I also utilize other methods such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT).

My name is Ashley Hackett and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My focus is on helping you by providing the necessary tools in learning how to heal from past traumas or difficult situations. I am here to help you be the best version of yourself that you inspire to be. I often utilize dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and person-centered, narrative therapy to help my clients achieve their life goals.

I work with each client as a team effort. Each person I see has their own story and unique perspective on that story, and I believe that within that story are the seeds of healing. My approach is to see you as a whole person who is struggling with something, whether it is anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, communication, parenting, trauma, etc. Most often, it is how we perceive a situation or a struggle that shapes how we deal with it or respond to it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, I hope I can help you with whatever your struggle may be, and help you rewrite your story. My favorite book of all time is Viktor Frankl's *Man's Search for Meaning*. One of the many wonderful things he says in that book is, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

The spark in your relationship has dwindled to a flicker, and it scares you more than you admit. Most days blur into work, kids, dinner, screens, sleep – repeat. There’s so much pressure to be everything at once: spouse, parent, provider, leader. By the time the day ends, there’s nothing left. You’ve tried distractions – drinks at night, porn, hobbies – anything to take the edge off. It helps briefly, but the distance between you doesn’t close. You still feel alone beside the person you love. You worry about waking up years from now next to a roommate instead of a partner, quietly longing for closeness, intimacy, and connection. What’s happening isn’t a lack of love – it’s disconnection shaped by stress and constant output. I help couples slow down and understand where they lost emotional contact. Together, we clarify what each of you needs, interrupt autopilot routines, and build intentional ways of relating that restore meaning, desire, and shared direction in your relationship. As your connection returns, the relationship feels alive again. Conversations soften, intimacy feels natural, and stress becomes something you face together. You wake up excited to share the day with your best friend and companion. It’s time to restore the meaning and security in this relationship. Don’t wait. Reach out for a free, no-hassle consultation.
