Lydia Bishop, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Canton, Georgia. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Kennesaw State University and soon after worked for Cherokee County as a probation officer for adults. I quickly recognized that many of the individuals within the judicial system needed resources and therapeutic support. Given this recognition, I started exploring ways to support those with mental health struggles and soon returned to Kennesaw State University to receive my Masters of Arts degree in Social Work.
Following my graduate program, I began working with adolescents and adults in various settings, including Drug and Alcohol Treatment Courts, Juvenile Detention Centers, private practice settings, and in-home community counseling.
Building a relationship is the core foundation for long lasting change in the therapeutic work. It is important to me that no matter my client's struggles, they feel safe in working with me. I work with clients dealing with many different kinds of struggles from anxiety, depression, family issues, divorce/separation, addiction, parenting struggles, and relationship issues. I have also worked with many clients around building self-esteem and self-love.
I come from a very relational approach. I believe in authentic and genuine connection with my clients to help them in their journey of growth and change. In the therapeutic relationship, it is very important for my clients to feel safe and heard in their sessions with me. I mostly use Family Systems, Person-Centered, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused and CBT modalities when working with my clients.

With my Masters in Social work and a knack for seeing the lighter side of life, I am your guide through the twists and turns of personal growth and healing.
As a therapist, I am down-to-earth. I skip the jargon and speak your language, making even the toughest topics feel approachable. My office isn't just a place for deep introspection; it's a safe haven where laughter is welcome and judgment is left at the door.
My warmth and genuine care create a space where you can be your truest self without fear of scrutiny. I am all about building trust and forming a genuine connection, because I know that's where the real magic of therapy happens.
But don't let my easygoing nature fool you—my support runs deep. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just feeling a bit lost, I am there with empathy, wisdom, and a healthy dose of humor.
I have experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Substance Use, LGBTQ+ issues, Mood Disorders, PTSD, Trauma, ADD/ADHD, Grief and Bereavement, Work/Life Balance, Goal Achievement, and Personality Disorders.
In my work, I use mindfulness based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brain spotting, Person-Centered, Family system, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment based therapies to help you identify areas along your journey you would like to address and/or improve.
Dillon Butler, LMSW
I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker in both Alabama and Georgia. I received my Bachelors Degree from the University of Alabama in which I focused my studies in secondary education. I began working with children in the school setting that presented with behavioral concerns, learning disabilities, and autism. As I worked with my students to promote continued social development and educational success, I began to develop a passion for becoming an advocate for all children who were experiencing barriers and hardships not only at school, but in the home as well. This passion led me to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Tennessee where I graduated with my Masters of Social Work. Since completing my masters degree, I have worked with adolescents and their families in various settings including Juvenile Detention Centers, Community Based services, and school-based therapy. As I continue to strive for growth as a therapist, I am currently working on my Doctorate of Social Work so that I may continue providing the best practice and services for all clients.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families that present with a variety of needs such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, ADHD, grief, and anger management. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing difficulty with self acceptance and identity issues. As an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, I strive to provide a safe space for all clients to be their true self and to be able to express their needs openly in an affirming environment. I focus my therapeutic approaches based upon the needs of each client. I use person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, family systems, motivation interviewing, play therapy, recreational therapy, and expressive/art therapy.
