Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Carrollton, GA

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Do you joke to cope? I may be a good fit for you! My name is Lisa, and I am a licensed clinical social worker who aims to create a safe and authentic space for healing. As a queer person and therapist, I aim to create an affirming space for all my clients. I got my Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia. In our sessions, I will provide you with practical skills you can use as needed while also working to explore and heal the root of the problem.

I work with people who feel stuck and are ready for change. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship issues, past hurts, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate what feels overwhelming. I’ve provided counseling to adults, youth, and couples in both community mental health and private practice. I’m licensed in Georgia and Florida and bring over 20 years of experience to our work together.

I work best with those who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and negative self-talk, despite moments of happiness. These struggles impact their relationships, career, and health. They need a compassionate, personalized approach to uncover and address the root causes of their distress.

My clients are open to look inward for the answers rather than blaming others or outside circumstances.

I work well with those experiencing anxiety, depression, anger and/or childhood trauma.

I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.

Jennifer Sears is a licensed therapist and anxiety specialist who helps people navigate anxiety, OCD, and emotional overwhelm. With a background in trauma-informed care, she focuses on helping clients understand why they feel the way they do—not just how to cope. She works with individuals who are ready for both practical tools and deeper, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for promoting both physical and mental wellness.

With over a decade of experience in mental health care, I specialize in working with clients who carry complex trauma narratives. I hold a professional certification in Trauma & Resilience.

I received a Bachelor of Social Work in 2008 and a Master of Science in Psychology with a major in Mental Health Counseling in 2013.
