Remember, it's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're now”- Denis Waitley. As a Black woman and the oldest daughter and sister in my family, I understand the responsibility, resilience, and emotional complexity that can come with growing up in families that don’t always follow a traditional path.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in the state of Georgia, with nine years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults address trauma and navigate life’s challenges. My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, trauma, family-related difficulties, and major life transitions.
My approach blends trauma-informed care with practical skillbuilding to help children, adolescents, and adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and life challenges. Clients can expect a supportive, culturally aware space focused on healing, resilience, and the development of tools for lasting personal growth.
We all go through challenges in our lives, but how we respond and react to situations is what makes us different from others. I am confident I can assist you with overcoming mental and emotional barriers in every aspect of your life journey. Remember: Your identity is tied to whatever you give your heart to.

As a clinician with 22 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience in the mental health field. She understands the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine enjoys working with clients who are experiencing self-identity, interpersonal relational issues that affect their job and family dynamics. This is her ideal type of client to work with because there is a lot of self-exploration the client will need to work on first. Some of the issues that will come up are self-loathing, lack of esteem, shame, and poor self-image. As a clinician, Catherine provides them support and total acceptance. When the client can begin to embrace and accept who they are without judgment, they can begin to work on how they relate to other people in all areas of their life. This can be done slowly and one step at a time. The pace is usually set by the client and how they progress along in treatment as they embrace each stage of their new self.
Catherine began her career in the mental health field as a therapist in an inpatient facility, responsible for the patient's ongoing clinical progress while at the hospital. Her patients varied in ages from 10 to 12-year-old children, to 13 to 17-year-old adolescents, to 18 to 55-year-old adults, and seniors who were in crisis. She worked with patients who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Major Depression, Obsessive Impulsive Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, Alcohol/Drug Dependency, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorder, just to name a few.
Catherine really enjoys getting to know people while working with them on their unique concerns. She offers a very supportive and client-centered environment to therapy, and she loves helping clients move toward their goals by being a partner in their journey towards a renewed self and clinically appropriate treatment. She enjoys working with clients and assigning them research-based homework activities to help them work independently on areas of concerns outside of the sessions. Her areas of specialty include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and other researched based therapeutic approaches that are appropriate to treatment.

As a woman of color who has struggled with ADHD her entire life, I understand how life changing getting the help we need to change our life can be, and I would love to help you on your journey back to yourself.
Hi, I’m Tanya Lorenzi, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience, licensed in both Georgia and South Carolina. I specialize in working with women navigating ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they’ve lost a sense of who they are. My work focuses on helping them reconnect with themselves, build emotional clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel grounded, confident, and like themselves again.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate evidence-based methods like EMDR alongside practical tools to help clients process painful experiences, regulate emotions, and move forward with greater clarity. Clients can expect a supportive space that balances depth, structure, and compassion.
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale — where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and create meaningful change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

Therapy for women uses traditional psychotherapeutic techniques implemented through a feminist lens to help women deal with the emotional and mental ramifications of being a woman in today’s society. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists will target issues like toxic masculinity, gender roles, misogyny, and other problems that women face daily and their impact on their mental health.
Therapy for women works much like traditional therapy, but will also integrate person-centered and humanistic therapy approaches at the forefront of treatment. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists who specialize in treating women acknowledge the unique experience of each individual while treating a wide variety of concerns with empathy, compassion, and respect.
Therapy for women at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for women will often last until the client feels that their therapeutic goals have been met, whether it continues for a few months or over the course of years. However, treatment should last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time therapy takes to have a lasting impact.
We all walk through life a little differently. No one has the same background, genetics, or personality as you do. But even in this incredibly diverse world, some experiences are more commonly shared amongst certain people.
Women commonly experience events that are unique to women. Even if it is a broader experience shared between both men and women, women might experience it differently because of genetics, social norms, and upbringing.
Of course, many of these experiences are full of joy and excitement. But there are situations that can pull you down with their sorrow, pain, and frustration. If you are walking through such a time, know that Thriveworks Woodstock is here for you. We understand that some issues can only be truly understood by other women. This fact shouldn’t be ignored, and we have the specific tools and empathetic approach that can help you heal and grow.
Counseling for Women is much the same as counseling for the general populace. You will always be the driving force in the counseling session, that doesn’t change. Our focus will be on your concerns, your goal, and your situation. Our job as counselors is to give you tools so you can build the life you desire and provide encouragement, support, and empathy as we walk with you.
Women’s Counseling is no different. You are still empowered to be in charge of your own path. The difference is in how we approach and solve problems. Thriveworks Woodstock understands that the issues you as a women face aren’t entirely comparable to what a man might face. These differences shouldn’t just be brushed aside, they should be inspected and used to further your healing and growth.
Counseling is made more powerful through a shared connection. By walking through your trials with someone who understands, you are more likely to open up and push yourself to grow. Counseling for Women’s Issues at Thriveworks Woodstock strives to provide you with exactly that.
Your experiences as a woman are important and valid. Sometimes, they can be trying. But you are never without hope. Thriveworks Woodstock is fighting in your corner. Together, we can build the life you dream of.
As always, Thriveworks Woodstock believes issues of all magnitude are important and worth addressing. The concerns, insecurity, and pain you’re fighting are holding you back from the person you want to become and the life you want to live. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever. Thriveworks Woodstock is here to expedite the process of healing and growth so you can live with freedom now.
With Women’s Issues Counseling, we can take a focused look on the issues that plague you because of your gender. We can also address topics experienced by the population at large but affect women a little differently. A few examples include:
This is far from a complete list, and we can talk about whatever comes up in a counseling session. As mentioned before, counseling is all about you!
Research has suggested that women are more likely than men to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. And many mental health issues look differently in women than they do in men. These differences are isolating and confusing, but personalized therapy can be a big step in combatting it and healing.
On top of gender differences as they relate to the mental health world, gender stereotypes and assumptions continue to plague women. The belief that women are simply more emotional, less competent, or not as smart are a few examples of stereotypes that- while have lessened significantly- still persist.
It’s worth noting here that studies have been done on women and men’s brains and determined they are strikingly similar. What does this mean? The differences in mental illness rates are not because women are more emotional or weaker as many stereotypes lead you to believe. While they do have a genetic proponent, they are also driven by the unique situations a woman experiences.
The individualized nature of mental health combined with a history of negative stereotyping means counseling for women’s issues should be a little different than counseling for the general populace. We are not the same nor should we be, and that remains true on an individual and gender-wide level.
Thriveworks Woodstock always offers nonjudgmental, empathetic counseling. We strive to walk with you to a healthy, happy place where you can grow on your own. It’s a future not far out of reach.
