Best Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselors in Athens, GA

My name is Mary 'Beth' Fisher Sanders and I go by 'Beth Sanders'. I have practiced for over 30 years and am a licensed clinical social worker with certifications that reflect extensive background in addictions and other mental health issues. I have also worked for most of my career with a focus on families and couples. My approach is relational. There are as many approaches to therapy as there are therapists - if we align to work together my role is to empower you to reach your goals, to help you identify the assets and barriers to doing so, and perhaps teach some healthy coping and communication strategies as well. I consider the journey to self awareness and understanding a sacred journey, and one that is vital for desired change. Time is a precious commodity, and I will challenge you to maximize yours to achieve desired results. Additionally, it is a process that I myself continue to do, so be assured that there is nothing that I will ask you to do that I have not done myself. While I do not claim to be a religiously based therapist, please know that there is a spiritual foundation in my approach and I will meet you whereever you are in your spirituality, whatever that means to you. I consider it a great honor to know the deepest parts of those that I walk and work with, and will help you lift up and strengthen the best parts of you.

Greetings! I'm Vinson Lee. Thanks for visiting my profile. I hold dual licenses as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor. I returned to graduate school in 2011 following a career in broadcasting where I worked as a radio deejay beginning at the age of 15 and later as a television anchor/reporter. I even served as a substitute teacher where my talents connecting with others were noticed by administration and staff. One of the most frequent responses I received was "you're so easy to talk to." I loved working in television - spending a day with others and telling their stories, but I had a passion to do more meaningful work to contribute positively to the betterment of society. Counseling and therapy afford me that opportunity - to observe change over time as we work together identifying and pursuing goals, empowering you to be the best possible version of yourself. I look forward to getting to know you!
