Dale Elzie, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Dale!

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and substance use. My practice offers a safe space to address the challenges that bring you to therapy.

My focus

I work with military families, veterans, first responders, and survivors of domestic violence or childhood trauma. I help clients struggling with low self-esteem, guilt, shame, anger, and resentment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Gestalt Therapy, and Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy.

My approach

I tailor therapy to your unique needs, building on your values of integrity, dignity, and self-worth. My client-centered approach honors your self-determination. I also offer faith-based counseling upon request.

My communication style

My style is relaxed, open, and transparent. I believe that with desire, hard work, and practice, you can achieve personal growth, improved relationships, peace, well-being, and profound joy. Each session builds toward these goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others has been a way of life for me. I'm a veteran who served in the Army Reserve and National Guard. I've worked in hospice, cancer treatment, and mental health programs. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

My goals for you

Trust is crucial in therapy. Many clients struggle with trusting themselves and others while dealing with guilt, shame, anger, and resentment. We work together to identify priorities and develop a plan for inner well-being and success, one step at a time.

Our first session

During the first session, we get to know each other. I complete an assessment, make a diagnosis, and we develop a treatment plan together as a team.
