If you have an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia, you know how difficult it can be to go out with your friends to dinner or anywhere else where you may be eating something. Eating disorders are dangerous and life-threatening if not treated and there are many experienced counselors in Cedartown who are trained in diagnosing and treating eating disorders.

After you start therapy, you will notice how much you were missing when you were avoiding going out with friends and family. Get out and visit the Peek Forest Park, Cedartown Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia, or the Polk County Historical Society Museum. You will be glad you did.

Hello, I am grateful you stopped by! Are you facing an acute stressor (short-term or sudden onset), seeking prevention of health-related concerns, brushing up on a relapse or maintenance plan, or just trying to figure out the next steps in your journey? I believe, working together, you can achieve the results you are seeking. Having people share their challenges with me, often during extremely vulnerable times in their life, is very humbling. You will be greeted with respect and acceptance in a safe and nonjudgmental space. I must warn you that I enjoy a good dose of humor as often as possible, though it will be reserved for appropriate times. I am a clinical social worker licensed in the states of Georgia and Florida. I have served in helping professions for more than a decade as a Secondary Teacher and Mental Health Therapist. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education specializing in science and a Master of Social Work specializing in mental health. For the last 5 years I have been providing behavioral health services to CONUS and OCONUS Active-Duty Military members, their dependents and Retirees. During a typical week I provide counseling services for Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Increased Stress Reactions, Insomnia, Suicidality, PTSD, Life Goals, ADHD, Chronic Illnesses, Chronic Pain, Relationship issues, Grief, Compassion Fatigue, Addictions, Anger and more. My treatment approach is Client-Centered. You are unique and so are your circumstances therefore, placing your expectations and goals in the center of treatment is the way to go. We will utilize your strengths to create and master measurable goals that are the stepping-stones to your desired outcome. You will likely uncover strengths you had forgotten about or simply have not tapped into! Therapy should always have a desired outcome, measurable goals and be guided by evidenced-based therapies. Some people are looking for long-term psychotherapy and others are looking for short-term Solution-Focused treatment with quickly achievable goals or elimination of symptoms. During our time together we will explore which evidenced-based methods you prefer. Since 2013, I have concentrated on providing mental health services to adults though I sometimes work with teenagers and children. I have been privileged to work and serve with a myriad of leading professionals spanning across multiple disciplines in the Medical and Mental Health fields as well as CONUS and OCONUS Military Installations. These experiences have challenged me and led me to acquiring expertise in many areas to better serve my clients. I look forward to assisting you on this journey to a healthier and happier you!

Regardless of their licensure, they are trained able to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Cedartown region and in the state of Georgia.

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Cedartown or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Cedartown area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Cedartown therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Cedartown due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Cedartown may not take health insurance, some in the state of Georgia may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Georgia you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). 

How is a licensed therapist on this Cedartown online therapy platform verified?

All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Cedartown?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Cedartown therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Cedartown therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Cedartown therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in GA, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 30125 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Cedartown counselor?

Before seeing your Cedartown therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Cedartown therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Cedartown licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Cedartown counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Cedartown, Georgia can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Cedartown has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
