Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Augusta, GA

I'm John. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University in 2005 and have been using my skills to help clients in a variety of settings. I like to approach my practice with genuineness, humor, and aim to be present with clients.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult seasons. I’ve worked in community mental health, court systems, and outpatient programs — serving youth, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

If you’re someone who has had to be “the strong one,” the responsible one, or the one who figures it out for everyone else — I see you.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally exhausted. They show up for work, for family, for everyone — but struggle privately with overwhelm, burnout, shame, or frustration.

My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to shrink. You don’t have to explain cultural context. You can show up fully — and we work from there.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with specialized training and experience in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I help adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, career struggles, OCD, and ADHD. My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your unique needs are respected. I value the trust you place in me as your therapist—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Reaching out for help takes courage, and I’m proud of you for taking that first step.

I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and provide a safe, respectful space for all identities.

I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many clients come to me during chapters of life that feel confusing or chaotic. Together, we slow things down. We work to understand what's driving the pain, identify what you truly need, and develop practical skills to move forward with confidence and clarity.

My clinical background includes addiction counseling, family dynamics, grief work, trauma-informed care, and supporting clients who have experienced unstable relationships, emotional dysregulation, or long-standing stress. I provide a non-judgemental environment where honesty is welcomed, growth is supported, and you don't have to pretend to be ok.

Therapy with me is active- we talk, plan, reflect, and practice new ways of thinking and coping. You will always leave the session with insight, direction, and support you can apply to everyday life. If you are ready to start healing, reconnect with yourself, and build healthier relationships, I'm here to walk with you. Reach out to schedule a consultation.

As a licensed clinical social worker based in the Metro Atlanta area, I bring a compassionate approach to therapy, backed by a BS in Psychology from XULA and a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adolescent males, and I am an Autism Certified Specialist. . As an Autism Certified Specialist, I’m dedicated to helping young individuals on the Autism Spectrum thrive.

Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.
