I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 8+ years of experience working in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance use, career challenges, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is closely aligned with cognitive-behavioral therapy but I like to incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as mindfulness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and have an extensive background as a Pastoral Counselor with many years of experience working with all kinds of couples. Relationships are one of my fortes. It always takes courage and strength to work on one's relationship and those who choose to do so are my heroes. I have worked with couples who are anticipating becoming couples, couples who are considering divorce, couples just desiring to improve their relationship, with infidelity and infertility issues, with a range of personality issues, conflict resolution, grief/loss issues, family issues and a host of other relationship challenges. I am always on the side of what is best for the relationship. My work is couple focused with a emphasis on couple participation and work being done both inside and outside of the sessions. I seek to work with you to find the most effective, healthy and meaningful solutions to your concerns and to equip you with the ways to keep moving forward even when therapy is over. I have been fortunate to have couples return to me just to have a relationship "check up" from time to time. Some of the methods I use in my counseling include: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychotherapy, Split and Conjoint sessions, and Solution Focused Therapy. It is most important to use what is effective for your unique situation. There is always good hope for couple/relationship health and success if we work together. Relationships can win. I feel I bring together the best of both clinical and theological skills to effective and proven practice.

What life challenges are you experiencing that make day to day life a struggle? Are you anxious, worried, or depressed? Do you struggle with organization, lack of concentration or inability to focus? Have you had an overwhelming or traumatic situation that has left you with an inability to trust others, yourself or question your sense of safety in the world? If so, you are not alone. Excessive worry robs you of precious time you can never get back. What would it look and feel like to see symptoms of depression alleviated? You don't have to suffer in silence! Do you feel stuck? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed? Are you worried, anxious or fearful? Are you experiencing sadness, low mood, crying spells? Would you like to experience life differently but you're uncertain how or where to start? I can help you get started by first addressing how your thoughts affect everything else! If you have answered yes to any of these questions you are certainly not alone. Our world can be a complex and difficult place to navigate. I’d love to speak with you to see how I might be able to help. I provide a caring, warm, inviting and compassionate environment for you to conversate.

You are Courageous! Thank you for taking a step to take care of yourself and your well-being. I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and peace of mind. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). My 20 years plus of psychotherapy experience has afforded me to work with a variety of clients whose concerns include: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family/parenting problems, and career challenge. I see clients in the context of individual, family and couple’s therapy. My clinical focus includes Depression, Substance Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence, Women’s Issues, Perinatal Family and Couples, Mood Disorders and Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, Parenting Issues, Life Transitions, Stress Management and Spirituality. My style is warm and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy is assessed and conceptualized from a Family Systems Approach. This means that I understand individuals based on how they are connected to and relate to others (family, social connections, work, community, etc.) and assist people in gaining awareness of patterns of relationships that are not working well that impact their everyday function in life. I assist in creating new ways of interacting to relieve distress. I also utilize other treatment modalities (Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Adlerian) to assist one in reaching their full potential of victory and restoration. Congratulations on taking steps toward change and becoming a better and happier version of YOU! I am here to support and empower you. I look forward in assisting you on your journey.

I am Dr. Jan Ligon, a licensed therapist (LCSW) for 33 years (MSW, PhD, University of Georgia). In addition to working with individuals, couples and families, I have very diverse experiences in mental health and substance abuse services. My approaches to working with people include cognitive behavioral (CBT), motivational (MET), as well as task and solutions-focused methods. While it is possible for people to develop insight into their issues and concerns, my focus is on acknowledging the past while moving forward to the future. Often this can best be accomplished by developing goals that help move ahead more quickly. I view this process as a partnership between the client and the therapist.

The way we move through the world has a lot to do with who we are and who were evolving to be. Our experiences, often contribute into our decision making, more than we realize. When we live with unhealed trauma, our hurt often displays as anger, depression, and low confidence. I strongly believe that representation matters and equitable mental health is necessary. I am a licensed therapist, with more than 7 years of experience as a therapist and 12 years in mental health. I work with my clients at their pace to discover challenges, explore various origins/triggers, and assist them in creating tools to evolve those behaviors, into healthy relationships and confidence.“One size fits all” therapy is not for me, or for you! I strongly believe in creating safe spaces where vulnerability is both respected and acknowledged. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. You may have wondered why therapy often seems like it’s only meant for a specific demographic. I am here to ensure you that if you have been lost in the struggle, that beginning therapy may be exactly what you’ve been searching for. If you’ve been considering therapy and don’t know where to start, let’s work together to create what you envision for your life.
