Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lagrange, GA

I work primarily with adult men who may appear successful and capable on the outside, but inwardly feel stuck, confused, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or retired men who’ve spent years focused on careers and responsibilities, but now find themselves asking deeper questions about who they are, why they feel the way they do, and how to live more authentically. Some are navigating major life transitions—divorce, retirement, grief, or aging. Others are simply tired of feeling emotionally numb, misunderstood, or unsure of how to change long-standing patterns.

I specialize in working with men who are ready to take an honest look at themselves—not because something is “broken,” but because something inside is asking for more. More clarity. More peace. More understanding of why they think, feel, and act the way they do. Using evidence-based modalities such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS) , Hypnotherapy and DBT.

I understand the pressures, expectations, and quiet struggles many men carry—but rarely talk about. I also know how hard it can be to reach out and say, “I could use someone to talk to.” Therapy isn’t about being weak. It’s about being brave enough to face what’s been buried, and strong enough to grow beyond it. If any of this speaks to you, let's talk

Hello, I'm glad you're here! Are you exhausted from living in a constant state of 'what if' and anxiety? Do you struggle making the 'right' decision, or do you think through every possible thing that can go wrong? As a board-certified psychotherapist and former Clinical Director, I have spent the last 20 years treating fear, trauma, relationship struggles and depression. My true passion, however, is helping individuals overcome worry and fear, and learn to handle the discomfort of the unknown.

You deserve care that sees all of you, not just your diagnosis. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself? I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, life transitions, and more through compassionate medication management paired with supportive therapy.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe mental health treatment works best when it’s a true partnership. You’re the expert on your life; I bring clinical expertise to help you find clarity, balance, and relief. My sessions are warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. You’ll never feel like “just another patient.”

Many clients come to me after feeling unheard or rushed in other settings. I take the time to understand your unique story, your goals, and what wellness looks like for you. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy techniques, and lifestyle strategies.

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it’s also an act of courage. I invite you to reach out for an appointment to see if we’re a good fit. You deserve care that helps you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Ready to Get Started? Contact Stefanie Livingston, PMHNP-BC

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggling with substance use? You may feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals across Georgia who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and substance use challenges. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can better understand what you're experiencing, build coping skills, and begin moving toward a more stable, balanced, and fulfilling life.

I bring both clinical expertise and real-world experience into our work together. I understand that many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start and I meet clients with patience, respect, and honesty.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in safety. I don’t rush the process or expect clients to have everything figured out. We move at a pace that feels sustainable, while still working toward meaningful change.

Clients should also know that I value direct communication and transparency. I will offer reflections and tools when helpful, but I will always honor your autonomy and lived experience. I do not believe in pathologizing survival responses, especially when they are shaped by trauma, systemic stress, or long-term caregiving roles.

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, a space where you can breathe, reflect, and begin to shift from surviving to living with greater clarity and intention.

Seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and choosing the right therapist is an important step. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported — without judgment. I believe meaningful change happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My experience in private practice and community mental health has allowed me to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to identity and self-worth.

My therapeutic style is empowering, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor treatment to each person because no two stories are the same. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and deepen self-awareness, while also exploring underlying emotions and past experiences that shape your present challenges.

I work with adults, couples, and families. My areas of focus include anxiety and chronic stress, depression and mood concerns, trauma and PTSD, relationship and attachment issues, life transitions, self-esteem, identity development, burnout, and compassion fatigue. I strive to provide an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and lived experiences.

Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and grounded.

Outside of work, I value time with family, traveling, fitness, creativity, and continued personal growth. I believe in practicing the same self-awareness and balance that I encourage in my clients.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with experience providing therapy and behavioral health assessments for children, adolescents, and adults.

My approach is grounded, direct, and focused on real-life change using evidence-based methods.
