Hi! I'm Cayley. I have been practicing as a therapist for over five years. I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia Gwinnett College and a Master of Science degree from Brenau University. I have had success working to help adults and adolescents/teenagers with anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, social issues, emotion regulation difficulties, and trauma. I have also successfully treated individuals struggling with phase of life problems, financial stress, and attachment difficulties. Taking the step to begin therapy can be a very difficult one, but I am here to provide a safe and warm space for you to begin your journey.
I have worked with several clients who were unsure of therapy at first. I was warm and patient with them, allowing them the space to feel comfortable sharing their feelings and struggles. I provided a safe place for clients to explore new perspectives and seek the changes they desired.
During the first session called the "intake," I gather information about you, your life, and the goals you would like to achieve from therapy. Then, we create a treatment plan from these goals to ensure that we are always working toward the changes you are looking for. My previous clients would tell you that I have a "laid back" vibe, allowing you the space to explore sensitive topics at your own pace.
During the first session, I try to get a good picture of who you are and we determine how I can help you achieve your goals. If you don't know exactly what you are needing from therapy, that's okay! I can help you figure that out, too.
I had an experience with a therapist when I was younger that changed my life. I was scared and uncertain, but with the help of someone unbiased who listened and helped me navigate my needs and emotions, I felt my feet on solid ground again. I decided to dedicate my life to helping others in the same way.
