If you’re reading this right now, you might be in a hard place. You want peace in your life, your home, and your relationships. You need the right tools and a safe space to help this happen. For women facing life transitions, loss, anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, or a difficult relationship, it can be hard to break free from patterns or relationships no longer working for you. For parents with struggling children, it can be challenging managing your child’s melting or shutting down, fielding complaints about your child, and simply wanting to help your child when nothing seems to work—all while managing your own emotions. Dawn Lamprecht, LCSW, RPT™, works with all these issues, specializing in working with women and children.  Dawn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist™. She meets clients where they are, helping them feel supported and heard as they work to get untangled from life's difficulties and meet their goals. Dawn has 20 years of training and experience in working with children, parents, families, and adult women. Along with being trained in talk therapy, Dawn is trained in using creative techniques, such as Sand Tray Therapy, and for children under the age of 12, Play Therapy. Dawn is a Christian and can incorporate a Christian worldview into sessions at the preference and comfort level of the client. She earned a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and, in 2003, a master’s degree in social work from the University of Nebraska-Omaha. She is married and has a grown daughter, and Dawn has lived in Georgia and East Cobb since 2006. Dawn grew up a military brat, and she still loves to travel. In her free time she enjoys exercising, antique shopping, and spending time with family, which includes her rescue dogs.

Your mind races with thoughts that begin with What if? Your anxiety gets in the way of your relationships, steals your joy, and limits your potential for happiness at home and at work. Worrying about things you cannot control has become a habit, which is hard to break because you believe that the worry prevents the thing from happening. You worry about your relationships, your family, your kids, and your work. Worry turns to guilt about not doing enough and not being enough. You long to quiet the inner critic, let go of the anxiety, feel like you are enough, and live a more fully engaged and balanced life. Through our collaborative efforts, you will learn the skills you need to conquer your worries and unwanted negative, anxious thoughts, communicate your needs effectively, and overcome feelings of guilt and self-doubt. We will work together to help you enjoy your life and relationships again, live fully in the present, and look forward to your future. As a licensed psychologist for over 15 years, I utilize research-supported interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using a positive psychology approach, we will identify your strengths and uncover ones you may not even recognize. When nurtured and channeled in the best way, these strengths will help you cope with the past, conquer current fears, and overcome future obstacles on your path. My job is to give you the tools you need to be your own therapist. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered a best practice in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

You feel stuck in life and you are unsure how to move forward. You may feel alone or that you can’t talk about your more personal problems with your friends or family out of fear of judgment. Worries and self-judgments feel like weights that continually keep you down and exhaust you.  You desire a life that is not dictated by emotions. You want to be kinder to yourself and to be more effective within your relationships.  You are fully aware of just how hard it is to be human, and you are seeking someone to walk alongside you as you navigate and make sense of your life experience.   Relationships (missing and broken), life demands/expectations, trauma, depression, anxiety, undesired behaviors, and low self-esteem are a few of the common barriers that interfere with individuals experiencing greater lives filled with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Phil’s hope is to partner with people who are curious about change and are willing to explore. Through a collaborative relationship, he seeks to understand his client’s experience and utilizes practical skills to achieve the change his clients are seeking.   Phil utilizes an integrated approach with his clients that includes elements from person-centered, existentialism, DBT, and ACT therapy. Change is hard on its own and made more difficult when attempted alone. The best chance at moving through tough times is through connection with others. Phil looks forward to connecting with you and offers services both in person and virtually.
