Find a Therapist in Candler McAfee, Georgia.

My approach to psychotherapy is tailor-made to the patient and their needs. I use a Biblical foundation as opposed to the secular formats in traditional psychotherapy techniques, but the results are the same. My patients love having their Christian faith included in the process. For example, when doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we would find verses of Scripture to contradict the dysfunctional thought / automatic negative thought. This helps us to use a lens of "how does God see this problem", versus the patient trying to make the situation more positive on their own.

When I first meet with a client I ask them three things: 1.What are the issues that they wish to work on, 2. What are their goals for this therapy and 3. When the therapy is over, what they want to have gotten from the therapy. In my over 30 years as a psychologist if there is one thing that I've learned it is that clients are unique, and therefore I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, but rather will work together with my clients to develop a tailor made treatment plan which is the key to them getting the maximum benefit from their psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy can help you to gain increased understanding of yourself, to see yourself in relation to others, and to help you process your experiences and explore your options and new opportunities. I want to help you learn to love and accept yourself more, and to believe that deep inside, you contain the key to unlock the door to a happier, more meaningful, more fulfilling life. I don't create this for you; I am more of a guide that helps you get there so you don't have to go it alone. This is done in a therapeutic relationship that creates trust, emotional intimacy, in a space of privacy and confidentiality. You will be very comfortable with my warm, nurturing, and client-centered style.

I offer brief, results-oriented psychotherapy. My approach is to identify and resolve how specific, unresolved upsetting or traumatic events are getting activated in present day situations and contributing to negative beliefs about yourself in certain situations or repetitive, self-sabotaging patterns in your personal relationships or at work. I have advanced training and experience in helping clients understand and heal from many types of distressing events. Often we think these experiences are not a big deal or no longer influencing us, but they often compromise your ability to be yourself, achieve your goals and enjoy life more. See the Client Reviews section of my website for more.

Choosing to enter into a therapeutic relationship is a choice to improve the quality of your life. Wounds from the past, broken relationships, loss, and many other experiences can become compartmentalized and hidden, yet greatly affecting your current relationships with both yourself and others. Psychotherapy can be a healing experience as you look at old ways of coping that may no longer be effective, and learn healthier ways to be both safe with and connected to others.

Psychotherapy is very helpful, let me count the ways: Psychotherapy can be restorative, Psychotherapy can lead to Peace of Mind, Psychotherapy can be affirming, Psychotherapy can lead to growth, Psychotherapy can be comforting, and Psychotherapy can lead to freedom. Psychotherapy requires a commitment to yourself, knowing and owning your worth and acknowledging "I can and will be in a better emotional, physical, spiritual place than I am today."

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

It is equally important and mind and body are connected. As a psychotherapist, I can guide you through a process of self-exploration and personal growth so you are able to become more aware of your patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness will empower you to change in the ways you want so you can lead and live a more fulfilling life.
