Mardeea Jartu, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Mardeea!

I'm here to make your therapy journey meaningful. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I provide a safe, judgment-free, and supportive environment where you can be yourself.

My focus

I work with young adults managing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, we'll create an empowering plan for growth. Success requires daily work—actively redirecting negative thoughts and behaviors.

My approach

I believe in building rapport first so our relationship feels authentic and safe. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, giving you tools to feel more in control. Based on your needs, I may include mindfulness and meditation practices.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. I've worked with trauma survivors, individuals in crisis, and those with mood disorders. I'm driven by the belief that everyone has potential for growth.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you—whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it's always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
