Bertrona Freeman, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Bertrona!

I am a licensed therapist with 17 years of experience in addiction and mental health. I specialize in supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, and substance use. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you build lasting change and reach your goals.

My focus

Prospective clients are individuals who may be overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles of substance use they're ready to break. They may be high-functioning on the outside, but privately battling intrusive thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or unhealthy coping patterns.

My approach

Throughout my career, I've concluded that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most effective approach to use with populations experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or substance use disorders.

My communication style

You can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your concerns at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was guided by divine intervention, leading me to this calling with purpose. I am passionate about helping clients grow, do the inner work, and create meaningful change. My goal is to support others in building a life of clarity, fulfillment, and lasting satisfaction.

My goals for you

Together, we will begin identifying initial goals for therapy and discussing what progress might look like, with an emphasis on realistic and achievable outcomes. You will also gain an overview of the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and how cognitive behavioral strategies may be used to support growth and change.

Our first session

In your first session, we will focus on building a rapport and getting to know your background, current challenges, strengths, and what led you to seek counseling. Along with setting realistic goals to achieve within the process.
