Deborah James, LPC

Deborah James, LPC

Psychotherapist
GA
Hi there, I'm Deborah! I am Debbie James, licensed in Georgia as a Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families to cope with anxiety, stress, and depression. With a background in athletics, I also support individuals struggling with anxiety and those looking to enhance their athletic performance. My approach Working from a perspective of radical acceptance, I look forward to supporting clients navigating challenging life transitions. As a former Division I athlete, I understand the unique pressures of high-level athletics at the high school, collegiate, or professional level. I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach that centers on the therapeutic relationship. I believe wellness is a journey, and I will collaborate with you and your family to build rapport, develop skills, and navigate conflicts as they arise. My focus I primarily work with adolescents and young adults around issues of perfectionism, anxiety, and self-esteem. My communication style I meet each individual where they are, tailoring every session to their unique needs through a person-centered approach. Everyone has a rich story that shapes how they cope with daily stressors. Together, we will explore these coping patterns and work toward improving daily functioning. My first session with you Clients can expect to be heard and validated. By the end of the first session, you will understand what has led you to seek support and have a clear picture of your goals for therapy.
