Taj Maddox (She/Her)
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling
In-Person in McDonough, GA 30253
Online in Georgia
You look like you have it all together, but that doesn’t always mean you feel that way. Maybe you’re the person everyone relies on. You’re the one who gets things done, shows up for everyone else, and keeps moving forward, but underneath it all, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or wondering why life doesn’t feel the way you thought it would. You may be navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, relationship concerns, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself.
Therapy can provide a safe space to step out of the pressure to constantly achieve, perform, or keep everything together. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, with space to slow down, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, set boundaries without guilt, and reconnect with what you actually want and need. You don’t have to become a “better” version of yourself for everyone else. You deserve support in becoming more comfortable being yourself.
Life doesn’t have to be falling apart before you can ask for help. Therapy can give you room to feel seen, take care of yourself without guilt, and create a life and relationships that feel fulfilling. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to help you make that space for yourself.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
