Amekia Lawson, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Amekia!

I have a background in Psychology and Sociology, with advanced training in Professional Counseling. I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and find their path forward.

My focus

I have experience providing counseling services to a variety of individuals, including adolescents and adults, in various settings within the community and in schools. I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, addiction, marital, family, self-esteem, and behavior issues.

My approach

I use a client-centered approach and believe it's important to establish great rapport with each client. We can learn from one another, and the more I get to know you, the better I can assist you. My job is to be a support system and guide as you journey along the path of finding yourself and growing.

My communication style

I try my best to create a warm and open therapeutic environment where each client can feel comfortable sharing and opening up. I am a great listener, but also provide helpful feedback that fosters growth and resilience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I appreciate every client and experience that has helped me grow into the therapist that I am today. I enjoy getting to know people and watching them grow into the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

I allow my clients to set their therapy goals, but I am here to facilitate growth and will help adjust and develop therapy goals along this process. I will show up to each session with you to help you reach these goals.

Our first session

Clients who meet with me for the first time can expect to meet a therapist who is a professional but also a human being, just like them. They can expect to be met with a smiling face and warm demeanor. I will show up each time ready to provide support, guide, listen, facilitate, assist, and meet them where they are.
