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. Today, in addition to teaching as a lecturer, I maintain a private counseling practice in Washington, Georgia, and I’m also an ordained Baptist Deacon.

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!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience dedicated to guiding individuals on their journeys of self-discovery and healing. I wholeheartedly embrace the uniqueness of each person, recognizing that everyone's path is distinct. I have experience working with individuals and couples struggling with sex and intimacy issues. I specialized in helping individuals navigate various life transitions, such as divorce, career changes, loss, retirement, and the transformative experience of becoming a new parent. My expertise extends to supporting those dealing with mood issues, anxiety, fertility challenges, as well as perinatal and postpartum concerns. I am passionate about fostering a therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and embark on a journey toward holistic well-being. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, fostering resilience and growth.

I view every person as a unique individual with specific goals, perspectives, barriers, and background. Relationships (missing and broken), demands and expectations that lead to letdowns and depression, trauma, undesired repetitive behaviors, refusal to accept things as they are and shame ("something is wrong with me"), vocational issues and struggles, and depression and anxiety are just a few of the common themes I help individuals and families with. I have experience with families, individuals and adult/adolescent groups. My hope is to partner with people with a strong willingness to participate who want restoration. You do not have to do this alone! It is my belief that our best chance at moving through tough times is done best when other people are involved -- we are first and foremost relational beings. I would be grateful and willing to explore what partnership with you on your journey might produce.
