Empowered Minds Counseling, LLC

! My journey has helped me become the therapist I am today! Growing up, I went through my own struggles and always felt like something was wrong with me. I had a lot of anxiety and I didn't know what to do about it. ... But I knew, I never wanted other people to feel the way I did. Fast forward to college where, I decided that I wanted to be a therapist to help others, especially with some of the issues I had. I went to Mercer University for Graduate school and became a clinical mental health counselor. I then decided to build my own practice and see where a business owner and therapist would take me. 2 and a half years later and I am happy with my career and I absolutely love what I do! It was a hard and challenging road but I believe in the power of therapy and I love helping others navigate their way through this thing we call life. See more

Have you ever stepped foot on the beach or pool and instantly compared your body to all the other women? Thinking about how much smaller, perkier, beautiful these women's bodies are. You regretted coming to the beach with your bikini. You believed you weren't good enough to be there. Let me be the first to say, you are beautiful and perfect JUST the way you are. A woman's body should be celebrated for every curve, stretch mark and line. ... Learning to love yourself and accept yourself and your body is hard work.

When was the last time you invested in YOURSELF? I'm not meaning a new pair of jeans or healthy food. But really, invested IN yourself? I've heard so many times that "I can't afford therapy" and "I can do it on my own". That works for some, but for many of us, we need a partner in our journey of self-discovery, reflection and processing past trauma to really help get to the root causes and develop new, healthy patterns and habits. Therapy is an investment who's ROI... is through the roof. Many of my clients have gone through therapy and have discovered themselves and their potential. When you can understand your past and set a goal of making a better feature and are held accountable, CHANGE HAPPENS! BIG change! Maybe it's finally discovering how beautiful or strong or powerful you are. Maybe you discover you don't need substances to make you feel good. Maybe you realize your body is not the problem. Finding your potential is priceless. Believe in yourself enough to invest in yourself. Tell me how you've invested in yourself lately? See more

Let’s talk Christian counseling! As one of my offerings in my counseling practice, I wanted to shed some light on some differences between Christian and Conventional counseling. - The focus is shifted in sessions to discuss the bible, your faith and allowing God to be a part of our session. ... -God comes to you and meets you exactly where you are. -Christian counseling is not a place for you to feel criticized, to receive moral direction on what's right and wrong, or to have someone tell you what you should believe. My goal is to help you get a better understanding of your relationship with God. To hear His spirit. To understand His love for you. To forgive yourself for past mistakes- even the ones you believe God can't forgive. My goal with Christian counseling or conventional is to help YOU. Today, think about what style and focus of therapy that fits your needs and goals. #Therapy #Christian #christiantherapy #mindbodysoul #mentalhealth #counseling #anxietyrelief #edrecovery #edwarrior #depressionrelief #mentalhealthmatters #Atlanta #atlantatherapist See more
