Adrian Gaither, a licensed professional counselor in GA, trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused work, Mindfulness, and Gottman Method Level II. Specialized in managing depression, anxiety, and trauma reactive symptoms. Skilled in helping couples with conflict management and resolving communication issues.
My approach
Main approach will be teaching skills and promoting lifestyle habits shown to reduce depressive, anxiety, and trauma symptoms. With couples, both partners are given tools to have important conversations differently to promote validation, intimacy, and calmness in the relationship.
My focus
Experienced in working with teens between 15 and 18 years old, and adults between the ages of 18 to 65. Comfortable working with those who are seeking authenticity and collaboration, viewing counseling as an extension of their support system. Clients have to be in a private and safe space during sessions for confidentiality purposes.
My communication style
Main goals include building trust and a sense of safety with clients while building on their mental well-being. All clients will be encouraged to focus on their journeys instead of their destinations; seeing themselves beyond their current experiences with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Identifying more with their strengths, values, and learned coping skills.
My journey to mental healthcare
Mental health is a building block to a life worth living. Being a part of this field is fulfilling. Being a witness to those who grow as a result of skill-building and commitment is a valuable experience. There is a strong belief that one is the sum of a community, and a community can thrive based on the sum of its parts. Let's grow as a community!
My goals for you
Every client does not have the same goals; therefore, creating therapy goals will be done collaboratively with each client. Goals will be individualized and aimed to be realistic.
My first session with you
Clients can share their expectations and background experiences with mental health during the first session. They will also receive information about confidentiality with its limitations and what to expect in future sessions. Questionnaires will be given to understand the type of treatment most appropriate at the time of the session.
