Therapists in Decatur, GA
If life has been more difficult lately due to stress or anxiety that you just cannot control, you may have an anxiety disorder that needs treatment. Luckily, there are dedicated mental health professionals in and around Decatur who are experienced in treating these and other mental illnesses.
Decatur is a lovely town that thrives on the arts and festivals. Every year, the community gathers for the Decatur Arts Festival, Decatur Wine Festival, Craft Beer Festival, Decatur Maker’s Faire, Decatur Book Fair, and the Blues & Bluegrass Festival. If you have an anxiety disorder, going to any of these events may not be on your list of things to do, because crowds and large events can be stressful. However, if you talk to a Decatur area therapist, you can get back to doing things you enjoy again.

Hello, my name is Mark and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. I have been working in mental health for twenty years. I have raised five children and have a lot of life experience in addition to my professional training. My Bachelor's Degree is in Religious Studies and my Master's Degree is in Community Mental Health Counseling. I have two years of training in Christian Counseling where I was certified through my church. My counseling approach is one of collaboration. We will work as a team and put our minds together to find solutions. Once the problem is identified we can come up with a set of steps with small goals along the way to achieve. When you achieve a goal we will make a new one to get you another step closer to your end goal and a successful/desired outcome. As part of the work we do I will likely assign homework to complete between sessions and sometimes I will challenge you with a therapeutic task. Part of your job in our work together is to be as open and honest with me as you can. If you are having a bad day I want to know about it. My role as a therapist is to listen to you in a non-judgmental way, provide unconditional support, and be genuine and authentic at all times. Together we will create a plan to tackle problems one by one. We will prioritize what is most urgent and start there. I believe people can/will get better when they work at it regardless of the challenge they face. I use elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Adlerian Psychology primarily when helping in addition to Spiritual Therapy for my Christian clients that request it. I am a natural encourager and believe in my client’s ability to improve. Years of experience working with all age groups, in varied settings and diverse populations providing therapy for clients with severe and persistent mental illness and substance use disorders has prepared me to help if given the chance. I look forward to working with you!
