Jonathan Tucker
Greetings and Salutations I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 14 years in the field. I have done everything from intensive in home counseling with adolescences, to being the manager of a Behavioral Health Treatment Court that served adult felony offenders with a severe and persistent mental illness. I welcome teen single parents to senior citizen couples. Therapy is not one size fits all, and as long as you are a part, I believe I can assist you in getting where you would like to grow (not a typo, just me trying to be clever). I am an extreme optimist, and believe that positives can be found in any situation. I have a genuine love for people, and love to see the light bulb pop on when revelation shows up. I have a very straight forward approach to counseling, as I believe that everything that that transpires is birthed out of the relationship that we build. But enough about me, lets talk about you... Sincerely, Jonathan Tucker, MA, LMFT

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here today. I believe that you can get better. I believe your relationships can get better. I believe you care deeply about the people in your life. In short, I believe that with the proper tools, you can change how you function in your life. I thank you for your courage and trust in reaching out to me for help. My past clients have seen improvement in their relationships, increased ability to cope with depression, anxiety, peer pressure, and substance/process addiction. Many of them have reported feeling supported and cared for while in a therapeutic relationship with me, as well as set up for success upon termination. Perhaps most of all, they are able to find their way back to themselves in a world which demands they perform with no off switch . It can be crippling when there’s a misfit between you and your family, your job, or the expectations you have of yourself. You’ll get a safe, supportive environment to challenge the thinking and behavior patterns which no longer serve you well. At the end of our time together, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself and why you’ve headed down this path to begin with. I use a mix of experience based and cognitive behavioral therapies in my work, as well as helping you develop excellent physical and mental health habits. My compassion and fascination with emotions, psychology, and the human body led me to complete my undergraduate and graduate social work degrees at the University of Oklahoma. I have been practicing as a clinical social worker since 2007 in a mix of settings: residential substance abuse center, private practice, and community based mental health centers. I've had training from a wide variety of experts in couples work (emotionally focused therapy), family work (brief strategic family therapy), as well as various mood disorders and their effects. Most recently, I primarily works with folks growing their families. I’m here to guide you through this messy stage of life where everything you thought you knew disappears.I’ve been there as a mama– I know exactly how the hormonal changes can throw you for a loop and understand how this can make you doubt yourself. Add in lack of sleep, heavy bleeding, likely poor diet, and bam! Everything feels like it’s falling apart. In addition to expertise on anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders, I help you build a foundation of practical self-care so you can better weather what life throws at you. I offer prenatal and postpartum coaching for out of state folks as well as prenatal, postpartum, and family therapy for Georgia residents.

If you have come to me for assistance, it means that you are experiencing some ways of living your life that no longer work for you. You have come to the place where change is absolutely essential in order to live more consciously, authentically, and in alignment with the world and relationships you want to experience around you. You may not even know how to name what is not working for you right now but you know that something is “off”. Issues and problems can be manifesting in your job, your finances, your relationships, your mental and physical health and your spiritual life. Assistance is out there to help you take those steps in the most loving direction to create what is necessary to help you thrive in every area of your life. I have 30 years experience in the mental health field and have worked in a number of healthcare settings. I focus on helping people to regain a sense of personal authority, self confidence and direction to make the most loving decisions for their lives. I work with individuals ages 18 and over from all backgrounds, orientations and environments. I look forward to connecting with you!
