Associate Professional Counselor

My name is Lydia Walters. I am a proud member of the queer community and enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ folks who want a therapist that understands their experience in a personal way. I also specialize in trauma with advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) an advanced neurological therapy that assists in reducing the negative responses we have to past traumas. I meet my clients where they are and take the journey to healing at a pace that feels comfortable to them. I am currently seeing ages 13+, but occasionally take ages 8+. I see individuals, and couples both in person and virtually within the state of Georgia. Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have, and to request a free 15-minute phone consultation to go over any questions or concerns.
