Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Valdosta, GA covered by Cigna

Greetings!

As a therapist, I believe it is important to walk in your purpose and I believe I do that every day. My name is Laijun English, and I am a counselor that provides treatment for teens and adults dealing with life’s challenges. I have Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia Southwestern State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University.

I was born and raised in one of Nigeria’s vibrant and bustling cities, where I learned the values of community, resilience, and compassion from an early age. Inspired by a deep desire to make a difference in people’s lives, I pursued my education in health care. This journey has been a blessing and a privilege, allowing me to work in health care and provide care for the people I love and serve.

My family and I have built a home filled with love and laughter. They bring joy and inspiration to my life every day. I'm excited to support my clients in bringing that same love and joy and laughter back into their own lives.

I have extensive experience in counseling, working with adults, children, and families using various modalities. I aim to provide high-quality care to all individuals regardless of social status.

I have a doctoral degree in Health Science (DHSc), a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I am an adjunct faculty member, a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York (LMHC), and a licensed professional counselor in the states of New Jersey (LPC) and Georgia (LPC).

I am trained in various models, and my specialties are anxiety, depression, relationship issues/ family relationships, stress management, confidence and self-esteem/inner issues, trauma informed care, crisis intervention, parenting journey group and more.

I am trilingual in English, Haitian-Creole, and French.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia with 20+ years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings addressing issues relating to parenting, parent/child relationships, divorce, grief/loss, marital conflicts, behavior, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, communication, trauma, adjustment/life changes, etc.

I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, utilizing a variety of modalities to best serve the needs of my client. The modalities that are proven to be most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Rational emotive therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. It is my goal to help you to live your most fulfilling life by enabling you to be your true self. You will spend time exploring ways to grow and increase self-acceptance along with discussing the issues that you are dealing with. I will offer acceptance, empathy, and guidance as you work on personal growth and positive change.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.
