JaNika Nash-Lightsey, LCSW

Psychotherapist
GA
Hello, I'm Ja'Nika, MSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Do you often feel symptoms of depression, self-doubt, or loneliness? Has it been difficult to understand yourself or even communicate your feelings to others? Sometimes it can be very difficult to find someone to connect with, who also has a nonjudgmental view and a listening ear. It is very possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, or simply feeling uncertain. I can help you navigate those thoughts and explore your emotions to help you reach inner peace. Engaging in therapy can be scary, especially if it's your first time, but what I enjoy most is being an active listener and helping others realize that they are not alone. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore thoughts and emotions and help you make a connection between how you feel, the way you think, and the behavior that follows. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, bipolar disorder, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, psychosis/schizophrenia, spirituality, suicidal ideation and/or self-harming, and trauma. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. I look forward to connecting with you. Let's talk!
