Sonya Mentz, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Sonya!

I would love the opportunity to work with you to increase self-awareness and build your self-esteem to become the person you desire. Together, we can explore what's holding you back and help you move forward with confidence.

My focus

My approach often meshes well with separation and divorce, parenting issues, anxiety, depression, anger management, bipolar disorder, life transitions, child and adolescent concerns, trauma, and couples counseling.

My approach

I create a supportive environment to empower you to gain self-awareness of your strengths. I treat the whole individual using cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy to help bring about understanding and change.

My communication style

I will meet you where you are in the change process but also challenge you to achieve the change you desire. Counseling is about self-awareness and making changes to the unhelpful patterns we have developed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe it is a calling to help others who are struggling. I enjoy helping individuals take back control of their thoughts, feelings, and actions to live their best life.

My goals for you

Counseling is about gaining a complete understanding of oneself to connect the dots of why we think, behave, and feel the way we do. Therapy helps you see the connection and learn skills to change patterns of self-destructive behavior into life-fulfilling achievements.

Our first session

Our first session will be understanding why you have chosen therapy. This is a time of reflecting on what is working well in your life and what needs improvement. I will also be gathering information about your background, childhood, friendships, work, health, and mental health history.
