About Me
Jennifer Drury, LMFT, CAADC
Hello, and welcome! I'm so glad that you're here. As a life-long Georgia resident, it has always been my dream to found a practice in my home state, and provide quality, compassionate, and affirming care to the individuals who are in need of it.
I am a 2007 graduate of Georgia College and State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. In 2011, I graduated from Mercer University's School of Medicine Master of Family Therapy program. I am licensed in the state of Georgia as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am a member of The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) and The Georgia Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (GAMFT).
I am passionate about supporting and assisting clients as they embrace self exploration, learn and practice deep self compassion and patience, and create healthy interpersonal relationships, as I believe these are the keys to our mental and emotional wellness. We all have the ability to make positive, healthy changes at any stage of life; and these can be facilitated through mindfulness, shifting perspectives, and understanding and setting personal boundaries in acts of self love and validation.
I am a devoted ally of LGBTQAI+ and BIPOC individuals, couples, and families. I am sex-positive, trans-affirming, body and fat-positive, and have experience in working with polyamorous individuals and couples.
I look forward to hearing from you, and look forward to helping you set and achieve your goals for healing and growth!

Each individual, couple, and family presents in therapy with their own unique set of struggles, histories, and current experiences. I use multiple different treatment modalities, clinical techniques, and therapeutic approaches to ensure each client is receiving effective care in a safe and affirming environment. Please see below for examples of modalities I often use in psychotherapy sessions:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)
