Therapists in 30030

Note: I am immediately available for scheduling appointments Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart. I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.

I look forward to providing you with a supportive, accepting and helpful experience in addressing your life's challenges. I help people with problems ranging from relationships, work and parenting difficulties to depression, anxiety, divorce, and grieving. We all have times when difficult emotions become overwhelming and we are unsure what is the best way to cope or move forward. Seeking some guidance and support at these times is one of the healthiest and most courageous things you can do. For me, it is always an honor to become a trusted support and helpmate through difficult times and healing. Learn, Grow, Heal, and Flourish.

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

Everyone has bad days. Even the most fortunate and well-adjusted of us struggle with feeling overwhelmed, lost, or anxious from time to time. But your dark days shouldn’t outweigh your bright ones. Maybe you find yourself lacking motivation. Or perhaps worrying has become a norm for you. Maybe you realize you have an unhealthy relationship with food or other substances—or even a person. No matter your challenge, it may be time to talk with someone. I'm here for you. Together, we can work to understand and address what’s holding you back from being the person you know you can be.

You want treatment that is going to do something - more than what a friend could offer, more than just a listening ear. You have been suffering with symptoms like worry, intrusive memories, sadness, or even health concerns. The "what-ifs" are keeping you up at night and you feel stuck. Or maybe you know that things could be better but you just can't figure out how to make it happen. Whatever your reasons, you are ready to make a change. You need a psychologist who listens compassionately, understands the problem, and helps you enact change to relieve your distress, so that you can move forward with the rest of your life.

Does the shadow of the past still influence how you show up in the world? Maybe you feel weak or crazy because you “can’t get over it”. Your friends and family don’t get it. There are times when things feel okay and life is pretty good but, then not so much. Maybe you find yourself feeling more on edge, are more reactive and emotional, or maybe you just feel not yourself? Your relationships are suffering. You know you are capable of more; personally, professionally, creatively, spiritually. Perhaps you have done therapy before and have some insight but your patterns haven't changed. You don't FEEL different but you'd like to.

I work along side you and will help you to "see" where you want to go and to develop a plan to get there.

For all of us, there are moments in life when things feel like “too much.” These moments are worthy of our attention.
