Garrick Lawton
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Garrick
I’m a licensed therapist in Georgia dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. With extensive experience in clinical practice, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and addiction—helping them build resilience and find meaningful paths forward.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to meeting each person where they are. I specialize in working through complex emotional experiences, including shame, guilt, abandonment, and attachment patterns. I’m also experienced in supporting clients with life transitions, relationship concerns, workplace challenges, and questions around identity and purpose.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors your unique story and experiences. Whether you’re processing trauma, working through communication struggles, exploring self-worth, or navigating major life changes, I’m here to walk alongside you with authenticity and care. My goal is to help you develop greater self-compassion, clarity, and agency in your life.
I’m committed to culturally responsive and inclusive practice, recognizing the distinct challenges that come with navigating identity, discrimination, and systemic barriers. You deserve a therapist who sees and respects all of who you are.
Taking the step to seek support takes real courage, and I’m honored to be part of your healing journey.
