Therapists in East Dublin, GA

LGBTQIA friendly. My practice is centered around human issues. Positive relationships are challenging to build. Whether its parent/child, husband/wife, wife/wife, husband/husband or any other combination. My goal is to increase communication, understanding and knowledge between people in order to create positive and productive growth. We will focus on barriers and obstacles that may be keeping us from living our best lives, and work together on mapping out a plan for success. I have currently added substance abuse and anger management assessments to my practice. As our society becomes more accepting of alternative relationships, the need for added support has increased. I offer that space where individuals can feel comfortable in knowing they are accepted. I am a fully licensed counselor focusing on sexual issues. This ranges from communication to sexual dysfunction and a variety of topics in between. I have recently completed my ASSECT certification and am now a certified sex therapist. Giving a voice to individuals who may be afraid to be heard is empowering and fulfilling. No one should be afraid to be happy and for me, it is my passion to be uplifting to all. My practice is based on the West side of Atlanta, but I have various satellite options around the city.

I believe that counseling is a process in which the counselor and client have to work together to build trust and growth. It gives the client a safe environment in which to explore their issues and learn to better cope with them. My goal as a counselor is to help people establish change that they seek within themselves. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (#2879) in the state of Alabama and Georgia (#006569). I am also a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Georgia. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Alabama and Master’s degree in Psychology from Jacksonville State University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Jacksonville State University. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with a variety of demographics, including the geriatric population. I have a strong background in mental health counseling, including crisis and substance abuse counseling. Additionally, I have experience in counseling clients that have dual diagnoses. I am skilled in providing marriage and couples counseling to help those in trouble relationships repair and rebuild there relationship.

Hello and welcome to my profile. Are you dealing with a situation that looks and feels overwhelming right now? When we are close to things, they look bigger, that is true for objects and for situations. It is my job to help you see your issue from another perspective. Most often that simple shift in how we look at things can make you feel better. I am Dr. Chanda Pilgrim and I have been a psychologist for over 25 years working in schools, private agencies, and a community mental health agency. I have worked with individuals and families who are dealing with everything from relationship issues to schizophrenia. I am a holistic counselor which means that when someone tells me they are depressed, not only am I trying to find out the triggers, but I also want to know about diet, exercise, and sleep. I do not see a separation between mind/body/spirit, so we will explore how they affect one another. Most of my clients say I feel like an old friend or family. That connection is important to me because who wants to talk about those private things with someone who doesn’t “get them?” My theoretical orientation is Cognitively based which means that I believe that our thoughts create our feelings. An event that occurs is just an event until we put meaning on it. It is those meanings that create worry, sadness, and even bring about trauma. In our work together, you can expect that we will do some talking about your history. I will assign homework to help you to look deeper into things while we are apart. We will talk about things you can do to support your growth (diet, exercise, etc.) We may even do guided meditations that are aimed at reprograming those automatic unwanted reactions to events in your life. It is my intention that from working with me your life will feel better. Thank you for trusting me!  

Hi, my name is Tracey, and I have been practicing for over 20 years. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Personality Disorders, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, families and young adults for the duration of my career, and I have enjoyed working with LGBT clients for the last ten years. In addition, I have done faith based counseling per client request. Each of these groups of people has unique needs and strengths, and I try to make sure their treatment plans reflect that. I typically use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ERP - Exposure and Response Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic Client Centered Therapy and Family Therapies. I have used certified therapy dogs in my practice for the last 15 years, and I have enjoyed seeing so many clients benefit from animal assisted therapy. Most of my therapy dogs have been labradors or golden retrievers, and they have all been rescued. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yard work, home improvement projects, thrifting, hiking, and visiting the beach. I learn just as much from my clients as I have from my professional education and training. In fact, I am humbled and grateful to have gone along the therapy journey with so many clients.
