LGBT therapists in Albany, GA

Thank you for reviewing my profile and congratulations on making this important first step. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life.

I am a LCSW and a graduate of the University of Georgia. I am open minded, mature and solution focused. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! I'm Tommy Hampton, IV. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My extensive education and training have equipped me to specialize in a holistic approach in areas such as Couple's Dynamics, Family Systems, Men's Issues, Christian Counseling, LGBTQIA+, Grief, Stress Management, Anger Management, Cultural Competency Issues, and Personal Growth.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC016639) in the state of Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH22156) in the state of Florida. I've worked in a variety of settings, such as psychiatric hospitals, crisis stabilization units, community agencies and college campuses. My clients have a wide range in age, gender, sexual orientation, faith, education level, ethnicity, and cultural background. In my practice, I like to focus on life transitions, whether it's leaving a job, becoming a parent, or starting college.

Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, meaning I studied both psychology and the context (environmental and social) that contributes to mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked with those recovering from trauma and addiction. Most of my clients are healing from experiences of violence, abuse, sexual assault, and/or neglect. In an effort to address symptoms faster, I obtained training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
