Amelia George, LPC

Amelia George greets each person who reaches out with an emphasis on courage and practical change. She recognizes how difficult it can be to admit that something in life needs attention, and she focuses on helping adults build concrete steps toward the future they want. With an approach that blends structured strategies and client-centered support, she helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with new behaviors that align with their values and goals.

Amelia holds multiple professional credentials, including M.Ed. - Master of Education, LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC - National Certified Counselor, CPDPE - Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, and CDVS-I - Certified Domestic Violence Specialist Level I. These qualifications reflect training in counseling, parenting guidance, and work with survivors of domestic violence, and they inform a practice grounded in evidence-based methods. She commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person she sees.

She works with adults ages 18 and over on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family challenges, parenting and blended family issues, postpartum and perinatal concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem and body image, workplace difficulties, and intimacy-related issues. Amelia places particular emphasis on practical skills for coping with life transitions, resolving conflict, and managing panic or mood symptoms so clients can move toward greater stability and agency.

Though eclectic in orientation, Amelia often prioritizes behavior-focused interventions that produce measurable changes. She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving - identifying obstacles, testing new approaches, and strengthening resources to build a bridge to a brighter future. Outside of clinical work she enjoys writing, crafting personalized projects, photography, and travel. She lives in Louisiana, was born and raised in the river parishes, and spends time with her family, children, and her dog Jaxson. Amelia also maintains active membership in professional organizations relevant to parenting, counseling, and anger management.
