Grief counselors and therapists in Buford, GA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked for over twenty-five years with adolescent, adult, and senior adult clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and burnout.

I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I assist clients to be empowered and learn different coping mechanisms as needed. I create a warm and safe environment for people to discuss their needs.

Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.

Are you approaching a later-life transition — retirement, or grown children who suddenly act like they're the parent? Or navigating an overwhelming cancer diagnosis? I've been there, and now I'm here to help you redefine your new normal.

I'm Sonya T. Cruel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years in the field. I've provided well-rounded care across healthcare, school, and faith-based settings — and my own experience as a three-time breast cancer survivor has taught me the kind of compassion, resilience, and hope that only comes from facing real challenges.

I'm Amy Wood, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker providing individual talk therapy and EMDR to adults via telehealth in Georgia and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Vermont and have spent over a decade in the mental health field, working across primary care, community mental health, crisis intervention, and private practice settings. My areas of focus include trauma-focused care, perinatal mood disorders, parenting challenges, and anxiety and depression. Along the way I've also supervised graduate-level social work interns, which keeps me grounded in best practices and continued learning in the field.
