My journey started with volunteering in the Guidance Counselor's office at my high school. In this setting, my emotional intelligence and level of empathy began to grow. I decided to study Psychology to understand how the mind works, then studied Social Work to understand how that mind works when affected by events in the environment. I have worked extensively with children/ students, the LGBTQIA+ community, people living with HIV/ AIDS, the elderly, Veterans, Immigrants, couples and families. I accept clients no matter their race, gender, ethnicity or background. I utilize a strength- based approach for my clients as I believe we all have the ability to take control of our own lives.
Greeting!
I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
I have been a counselor legally for years but a great listener all of my life. I graduated with my master's at Brenau University almost 5 years ago. Most of my background comes from educational schooling and life experiences.

With a professional background in Montessori education and nonprofit management, I bring a creative and multifaceted perspective to her work. I am also a strong advocate for radical self-acceptance and enjoy encouraging others to discover their own sense of freedom and personal growth.
I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. While evidence-based practices provide important tools for change, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation for growth and healing. My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I bring a warm, approachable, and genuinely caring presence to my work in psychiatry. I am goal-oriented and thoughtful in my clinical approach, working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve meaningful and sustainable progress in their mental health.
I am known for my kind and pleasant demeanor, creates a comfortable, respectful, and supportive environment where patients feel safe, heard, and valued. Compassionate yet purposeful approach fosters trust, engagement, and positive outcomes in care.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy is a collaborative process built on trust and the belief that every person has the capacity for growth. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing tools to create meaningful change.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples in the LGBTQ+ community.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in McDonough
Searching for therapists in McDonough starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may specialize in concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to focus on. A profile that explains their approach can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.
McDonough has a smaller local therapy market than nearby Atlanta, so virtual care can help expand your options while still keeping your search centered in Georgia. You may prefer in-person sessions near downtown McDonough, Jackson Square, or other local areas, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, specialties, and session structure.
Therapy in McDonough can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
