As a dual holistic practitioner, I acknowledge that prioritizing and actualizing mental health wellness are essential keys to balance and stability in life. I applaud you for leaping and getting support for your healing or rediscovery journey. You have achieved the first major milestone!

Being human can be hard under the best of circumstances. When anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships are added, the challenges can be daunting. It is a true honor to be able to accompany people on their journey towards better navigating the challenges of life with greater calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage, as well as deeper connections with those around them. As a Professional Counselor, I have the privilege of working with clients to discover their path towards a meaningful, authentic, and rewarding life.

I come to the field of counseling after 15 years in the corporate world. My experience working with individuals with high anxiety have informed my interest in helping people overcome difficulties and achieve their potential. My areas of experience are: Anxiety and Relationships, which are often related, and other times completely independent of each other.

On the Anxiety side, I specialize in OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking, GAD, panic, trauma, and hoarding. I am passionate about working with individuals who suffer from Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors – a condition with which I personally struggled for over 15 years. I am equally passionate about working with people through their intimate relationships.

Hi, I’m Samantha Adams, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with over a decade of experience supporting adults and teens through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with women navigating perimenopause, relationship challenges, and generational or attachment wounds. My approach is open-minded, nonjudgmental, and direct. I believe you are the expert in your life—and I’m here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, process past pain, and build the skills you need to move forward.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in a variety of settings, including schools, crisis centers, inpatient, and outpatient care. I draw from Attachment Theory, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to create a space where healing and lasting change can happen.

Self-love is the idea that one must love oneself to achieve happiness and love from others. It always made me feel some type of way. To survive, we are forced to constantly grind; to hustle. If that wasn't enough, we face daily oppression, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, colorism, texturism, and more! Self-love seems more and more like a folk tale similar to the American Dream: a goal that was not created for people of the global majority.

Beginning or restarting therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it is a courageous step toward your wellness. Whether you are facing difficult life changes, have a desire to address ongoing struggles, or need help getting "unstuck," I will provide support as we explore ways to alleviate your distress.

I specialize in substance abuse, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and life transitions. I have a preference toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I use an integrative approach to develop a treatment plan specific to your individual needs.

I value a collaborative approach and welcome client's input throughout the process. I look forward to providing support and direction as you work toward reaching your treatment goals.
