About Mandi Peek, MS, LPC:

It is normal to have questions and uncertainties that need answers in order to decide on the therapist you want to work with. You have a right to get to know the person you will share with.  One of the most important factors to success in therapy is that you feel a good fit and connection with your counselor.

 Defining characteristics of my counseling practice… 
I am invested generally and specifically in healing at root levels, implementing lasting change and not quick fixes.  I lend a perspective to aid the journey of each client as they sort through their past experiences, influences, and suffering to distinguish their true self apart from baggage, masks, crutches, and coping mechanisms that lead to destruction.  A goal is to live authentically with self acceptance and freedom.

My hope is for change at the soul level that won’t be a band-aid over an infected place, but a cleansed healed way to live the life you feel you’ve been missing out on. I am here as a companion to coach and guide with psychological and spiritual resources as you journey toward your personal healing and goals. 

Credentials, education, and background….
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #004118)  through the state of Georgia. I am, as well, certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I have been in private practice since 2000.  
 I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology (University of Florida) and a Master of Science degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University.  In addition, I have done graduate work at the Richmont Graduate School and hold a Master of Science degree in Christian Psychological Studies.  

Spirituality in Counseling….
I seek to help clients integrate their own personal and spiritual beliefs into the counseling process.  I would characterize my counseling as “spiritually sensitive” as I am aware of how integrated the body, mind, and soul are—healing cannot be experienced without a uniting of all of these.  I am committed to, and hold as sacred, each client's perspective and prerogative follow their own inclination as they pursue their spirituality.
