How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an Air Force Veteran with over 15 years of experience in mental health. I served as a mental health tech both in the military and as a government contractor which lead me to obtaining a Masters Degree in Social Work. I've been a professional Social Worker since 2016 and totally love what I do. My telehealth private practice, Beneath The Surface Therapy Solutions LLC, was started to help people “look beneath the surface and discuss matters of the heart.” 

I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health field working in areas of crisis mental health, at-risk youth, and abuse/trauma and have 4 years of clinical experiences in counseling: children, adolescents, adults and in both individual and group settings. I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and teletherapy sessions.

Hi! My name is Adrian Gaither. I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, working with clients who are seeking to make healthy changes in their lives. I specialize in couples therapy, trained in Gottman Level 1. I am trained in Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients manage depression and anxiety long-term, and I am trained in Trauma-Focused Therapy to help those experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder. Therapy is meant to be more than a visit; therapy is a transformational experience. My approach is to first understand the problem my clients bring into therapy, before I begin providing heavily researched treatment; treatment that is known to be successful in managing specific problem areas long-term. I listen to all of my clients and see them as a whole person - a human being. My approach is to see them. My clients can expect to have a new understanding of themselves and how to approach the problems they bring to therapy.
