Top Georgia children therapists who accept cash payments

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in History and Minor in Political Science from Georgia Southern University. I later enrolled in Adams State University and obtained a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health. I have been a practicing clinician since 2017 and have provided individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns. I take an eclectic approach to counseling and work with clients to achieve their goals.

I believe therapy can be used as a vehicle to assist you in achieving the life and relationships you desire. Everyone deserves a chance to live their best life and I am here to empower you and guide you on that journey. You are not alone. In my practice I have successfully worked with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, peri/post-partum care, trauma, dissociation, PTSD, self-confidence and professional challenges, gender, sexuality and sexual victimization, creative blocks, domestic violence, crisis intervention, conflict resolution, anger and stress management. The modalities I utilize most in my practice are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) & internal family systems (IFS), but I understand that people are individuals and what works for one person might not for the next. With that in mind I draw from a wide range of other modalities including, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Art therapy, Play therapy, Solution focused therapy (SFT), Motivational interviewing (MI) and psychodynamic theories. This diverse approach allows me to meet you exactly where you are and to help you work toward the future you have imagined. Free from anxiety, depression & pain. Open to working with adolescents ages 13-17.

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, resilience, and purpose. With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and solution-focused strategies, I empower my clients to break free from limiting patterns, develop emotional regulation, and create lasting, meaningful change. Clients often share that they feel seen, safe, and deeply understood in our work together. I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance—and I’m committed to building that foundation from our first session. By blending empathy with evidence-based approaches, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. My ability to connect authentically with clients has led to high retention rates and a track record of measurable progress and success. I specialize in: Anxiety and depression, Life transitions and grief, Relationship and attachment concerns, Self-esteem and identity development, and Trauma recovery (including childhood, relational, and complex trauma). Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or returning to do deeper work, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to support your healing and growth. Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, process challenges, and help you move forward with greater confidence and emotional clarity. Let’s take that next step together.

Hello. I am Lonja Jones, LPC and I want to help you lead a more balanced life. I have a long career working with individuals that are dealing with depression and anxiety. During my career, I have worked in various settings that include inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, and non profit agencies. I am available via telemental health to assist in developing a work/life balance. I am also able to assist you in managing life's stressful events. I have experience working with various backgrounds to include children in foster care, adults, and geriatric patients. I have a military background and come from a military family and can aid in the process of transitioning from the structured life that the military provides. I am available and able to walk with you through your journey to the next chapter in your life. It will be a pleasure to work with you.

With over seven years of dedicated experience, I help adults navigate life’s complex challenges—from anxiety, depression, and grief to divorce, work/life balance, and relationship struggles. My work also supports those striving for personal growth, self-esteem improvement, and more fulfilling connections with others. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reshape unhelpful thought patterns, as well as Psychodynamic Therapy, which connects us to the inner child by exploring how early life experiences shape our emotions, behaviors, and relationships today. I also integrate Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented style that strengthens a person’s motivation and commitment to change, along with Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathy, acceptance, and genuine connection to foster self-discovery. Additionally, I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify strengths and actionable steps to create the positive changes they want to see in their lives. In our sessions, you can expect a blend of mindfulness, authenticity, and just the right amount of humor. I believe therapy should feel supportive and grounded, yet flexible enough to meet you where you are. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, develop healthy coping tools, and rediscover your sense of confidence and peace. Together, we’ll work to create meaningful change—one intentional step at a time.

I have a PhD in Forensic Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. I have been in behavioral health for 26 years, although only licensed as a social worker for the last 14 years. I am blessed to have a career that I'm passionate about and have the pleasure to work with some amazing people. Healing is a journey, so my therapeutic style incorporates caring and empowerment in a non-judgmental space. As a military brat and a Veteran I’ve been pretty nomadic most of my life, however I call Washington State my home since that's where I spent the bulk of my life and obtained most of my education. Welcome, and I look forward to serving you!

I’m Dr. Fulani A. Doughty, LPC, NCC, CRC, ICAADC, ACS—an educator, consultant, and counselor. I’ve worked in the behavioral health field since 2003, serving individuals across every age group. In addition to my work in clinical mental health and rehabilitation counseling, I also have experience in public education, including roles in Special Education and as a Certified Middle School Counselor supporting youth. My areas of specialization include general adjustment issues, couples and family dynamics, educational planning, rehabilitation counseling, and addiction. Beyond counseling, I’m also passionate about human resource development, organizational development, educational leadership, and percussion. In 2013, I was honored to be named a National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) Minority Fellow. I’m a lifelong learner and have pursued multiple degrees throughout my academic journey: a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, both from the University of Georgia (UGA); a Master of Education in Human Resources & Organizational Development from UGA; a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University; an Educational Specialist degree in Professional School Counseling from UGA; and a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision (CACREP) from Argosy University’s Sarasota Campus.

I am a compassionate and dedicated licensed therapist committed to supporting individuals on their journey towards mental wellness and personal growth. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In our sessions, we will work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your distress. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, CBT offers practical tools to help you break free from old patterns and create lasting change in your life. I look forward to collaborating with you to explore your goals, strengthen your resilience, and support you in building a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Hi There, I'm Genobia! My purpose is to help you grow where you see your life being most fulfilled. Growth is challenging, but it’s doable! Aren’t you curious about what is around the corner for you or your family? In therapy, you’ll prioritize doing something “different.” That “different” might be learning to say less and do more (or the opposite). It could be learning about the brain-body connection and finding ways to connect the two. Or it might be using resources you either didn’t know about or were hesitant to use in the past. As a therapist, I’m skilled at finding the best therapy style for you. It might be a cognitive-behavioral style focusing on faulty thinking patterns or a dialectical-behavior style that helps you regulate your emotions and tolerate distress. And if you’ve experienced trauma, I have special training to help you work through it. So, whether you don’t know where to start or have a specific need, I’m here for you!

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing since 2015. I believe my education paired with overcoming life-altering losses of my own have equipped me with the tools to help others do the same. I have provided therapy in private practice, hospitals, courts, and foster care settings. I specialize in helping clients heal from grief, loss, and trauma so that they can live purposeful, joy-filled lives while honoring their past. I work to empower individuals to overcome personal obstacles to improve and fortify their relationships with themselves and others while utilizing evidence-based treatment methods. Clients can expect to leave sessions with me feeling seen, heard, and understood. I relate to many of my clients and their concerns because I have experienced what they are experiencing and know what it is like to need support. I believe it is important for my clients to know that as their therapist I will always respect and honor their journey. Congratulations on taking the first step to obtaining the healing, support, and understanding that you deserve.
