About our Therapy Practice in Homewood

Georgia Boxer, LPC

Georgia Boxer, LPC

 

Seeking out professional help is never an easy task and takes both courage and humility. I commend you for taking the steps to get the help you need, and I welcome you to your journey of healing; I’m honored to be even a small part of it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I approach counseling from a client- or person-centered perspective where I lead therapy sessions with empathy and demonstrate a sincere, and unconditional positive regard for each and every one of my clients. I believe that every individual is inherently good and that we all have the capacity for self-driven change. From both personal and professional experience, I believe an individual’s experience in therapy and/or their experience of the therapeutic relationship can be healing in and of itself.

My graduate training and previous experience took place in New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding parishes. My previous experience allowed me to work with clients dealing with concerns such as, anxiety, depression, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma and PTSD, anger management, interpersonal/relationship issues, suicidal ideation and self-harm, adjustment issues, and substance use and/or abuse. I also worked with clients suffering and/or perpetrating emotional, verbal, physical, and/or sexual abuses as well as clients actively in crisis. I have the clinical training but my human experience has prepared me to walk with you along your journey ready to assist you with gaining insight into you own why. Don’t do this alone.
