Lindsay Smith
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing in Georgia and Florida since 2014. I have a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a post-Masters certification in Primary Care Behavioral Health. I'm also certified in Trauma - Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am trained in Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in mental health clinics, schools and have experience both public and private medical practices. I worked for several years in endocrinology and chronic pain management helping adults manage the effects of chronic illness on their lives and relationships. I've also served as the Clinical Director of a Children's Advocacy Center and worked with families dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and relational problems. My passion is helping people build and live the lives they've always wanted. Lack of satisfaction in our daily lives and relationships can leave us feeling down, worried, or alone. That's not how life should be! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a systemic, relational approach to both problems and solutions. I work collaboratively with my clients and believe my clients are the experts of their lives and circumstances. Sometimes people get caught in unhealthy cycles and patterns of behavior and just need a different perspective to help them break these cycles. Other times, people and families attempt to implement changes, but these changes are unsuccessful and leave them feeling discouraged and alone. By engaging in meaningful conversations and dialogue, we're able to create lasting change that results in an improved quality of life, as well as deeper, more connected relationships.

I know asking for help is not always the easiest thing to do and I seek to honor the effort it takes to stretch, grow, change and open yourself up in order to reach out. I love working with families, couples and individuals alike. I am a well seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience helping others with many and varied challenges in their lives. As a Family Therapist, I believe life is all about relationships and connection and this gives me a unique and valuable perspective most individual therapists may not have. I have experience helping people recover from trauma, deal with grief and loss and restore broken relationships. I specialize in helping clients work toward life balance, working from wherever they are to wherever they want to be. I am authentic, non-judgmental, honest, hilarious (or at least I think I am), and look forward to helping you on your journey. I will be available to work with you on Monday through Friday (I take Saturdays and Sundays off) via live chat, asynchronous texting, phone or video. I currently live and travel in my small motorhome in the West and Southwest so my time zone may be a bit different than yours, which is often advantageous. I grew up in California (please don't hold that against me as I left as soon as I could) and I have lived in WI, UT, AZ, GA and Alaska (at the Top of the World in Barrow). I look forward to speaking with you.

Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy
I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Georgia, with 21 years of professional work experience. I believe that within a strong, collaborative relationship, problem-focused therapeutic goals can be reached in a timely manner. I see adolescents and young adults with a variety of presenting problems, including: anxiety, depression, stress and coping, inattention and distractibility, motivation and self-esteem, relational difficulties, life changes, and the complicated interaction between managing a chronic medical condition and maintaining psychological well being. I am a proponent of researched based, yet psychodynamically informed, psychotherapy. This means that we may explore the past a bit, in order to discover what is blocking the ability to acquire or integrate newly learned coping skills here and now. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to provide the tools and the support, and to empower you to reach your goals. *Please note that my current availability to new clients is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings/early afternoons*
