Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Rome, GA

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist for many different age groups. I served in the U.S. Army for 20 years before retiring. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I also use Mindfulness exercises in my counseling.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you didn't feel like you had a voice? Not having a voice can be caused by several different factors. Ranging from experiencing past trauma, daily stresses of life (i.e. relationships, work, etc.), symptoms of depression, and anxiety. It can be difficult to get to a point in your life where its okay to speak your truth. My goal is to assist you with finding your voice and identifying your truth. This will help you in getting to the next phase in your life, in spite of the circumstances that you have experienced or are currently experiencing. I specialize in working with women who are looking to find their true self wherever they are on their journey.

Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!

If you're struggling with feeling like you fit in, knowing who you are, or carrying a heavy weight across your shoulders, welcome. I specialize in trauma and dissociation, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I've been practicing therapy for the past five years and have been in mental health for the last decade.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Listening Room, where I provide therapy for adults navigating stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and court-related or high-stress situations.

My approach is supportive, direct, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity. I create a space where you can be heard without judgment, while also working together to develop practical tools for real-life change.

I offer virtual sessions, with limited in-person availability in Miami and Broward.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Professional Clinical Supervisor (CPCS) with over a decade of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology and have built my career serving individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and high-pressure environments.

In addition to providing therapy, I serve as CEO of Success Brand Behavioral Health, where I lead a team of clinicians and continue to provide direct care. I’ve also worked extensively with youth and families involved in foster care and the juvenile justice system and currently teach graduate counseling students as an adjunct professor.

What this means for you: you’re working with a clinician who understands both complex clinical presentations and real-world stress. I’m structured, experienced, and deeply committed to helping clients move from insight to action.

I'm a licensed counselor and scholar-practitioner with more than 29 years of experience providing behavioral health care across a wide range of settings. In 2009 I founded BSmith Consulting Group, LLC, where I work with individuals navigating adjustment issues, mental health disorders, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) concerns. Alongside my clinical work, I provide employee assistance support to individuals, professionals, and organizations, and I contribute to the field through clinical supervision, training of fellow mental health professionals, and presenting at local, state, and national platforms. My goal is always to meet you where you are and support your long-term wellness.

I believe that therapy should feel supportive, practical and real. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life transitions and just want to feel like themselves again. This is a space where you can talk openly without judgment while also gaining tools that actually help in everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear about your next steps.

Life can be full of surprises. Sometimes those surprises are wonderful, other times they can cause stress, anxiety and even depression. My goal is to walk with you through those transitions and help you develop the skills and tools to manage your feelings; to feel like you are in control of your emotions, rather than the other way around around. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I received my MSW from the University of Georgia. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and trauma.
