Psychodynamic Therapists in 30030

I am licensed in Georgia & Utah and have over ten years of experience working with children, adults, and families. My primary focuses include grief and loss, life stage changes, depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma & abuse. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and have experience with diversity in regards to gender, race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. I find that people who feel that I am a good match for them have a desire to begin to strengthen their internal sense of self and strength and are eager to begin their journey to a higher level of self-actualization.

I am a Black queer cis woman. I hold space as a guide and a supporter. I strive to make therapy accessible with clear, direct communication, warm energy, and pre-emptive radically inclusive stance. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Smith College School for Social Work. As a master-level social worker, I am currently pursuing my licensure in the state of Georgia under supervision at Heartwork. At Heartwork Counseling Center, we do not take insurance. We do offer a sliding scale. Our regular fee is $150.

I have always loved to read a good story, I think stories can reflect wholeness in their beginnings, middles, and ends. It's all too often that we find ourselves in the middle of the story, feeling disconnected from ourselves and unsure if our story will ever have an ending that feels good and whole. I believe that counseling offers a space to "speak the unspeakable" parts of our stories and invite healing into the darkest places. As we create a safe and trusting relationship, I hope to come alongside you and look inward together with compassion and curiosity.

Accepting new clients via telehealth only at this time. If an in-person appointment is preferred, your name may be added to a wait list. I work with adults, using cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic theoretical models to help clients better understand themselves and produce desired positive changes in their overall health and functioning. Much of my practice is devoted to conducting ADHD evaluations and providing support for adults with ADHD.

I work with adults going through various life and relationship transitions, and those dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression related to these changes. I also work with clients who would like to improve self-care, compassion, and self-worth.

I am an open minded, non judgmental therapist who feels strongly that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the greatest predictor of outcomes. Over the past 15+ years I have worked with clients of all ages and have particular experience and interest in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I truly enjoy the work that I do and look forward to supporting you in whatever challenges you are currently facing.

Hi, there! Thanks for visiting my page. Sometimes we may encounter times when it is hard for us to stay attuned to our authentic needs and wants. That’s where I come in - to help facilitate a process of change for my clients, by walking alongside them. I believe that everyone’s mental health is fluid and impacted by our environments and relationships. My goal is to encourage and support optimal mental health functioning and provide clients with an exploratory and safe space to delve deeper into self-understanding, acceptance, and love. My office is conveniently located in downtown Decatur.

We’re all doing our best to handle the demands of modern life. It can be overwhelming, especially when life throws a curve ball. My passion is helping individuals and couples explore their problems in a judgment-free, safe, and supportive environment; it’s my privilege to walk alongside your journey. Together, we examine the feelings that arise from challenging relationships, adverse childhood experiences, social injustices and traumatic events. Life’s transitions and losses may bring these wounds to the surface and create the catalyst for meaningful change.

I have a general private practice seeing adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapies. Among my areas of work are: couples transitioning to parenthood, working with women who are experiencing prenatal and postpartum issues, families having young children with disabilities, parenting difficulties, relationship problems, adolescents and young adults struggling with life transitions, and general stress, anxiety and depression. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, drawing from many sources particularly psychodynamic and relational principles. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to be present with you, providing a safe space to explore what emerges during the therapy sessions.

I believe that we have all that we need already inside of us - therapy can be a process of uncovering those things that we’ve forgotten or unlearned. Whether you’re wanting to better manage anxiety and/or depression, increase communication and relationship skills or are interested in exploring more depth work, I’m excited that you’re considering therapy. I'll partner with you and we'll work together as you dig deeper, uncover insights, and make changes that can result in a life better than you ever imagined. I’ll help you find your own truth and to grow more fully into yourself.

I specialize in working with adults who have trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and relationship issues. Often when we experience difficult life events, we hold our upsetting memories vividly in our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and even in our bodies. We revisit the painful past again and again, stuck in negativity and unable to simply talk our way out of the distress. I help my clients to access and process, at a deeper level, these experiences, using effective, evidence-based modalities that work. We clear out the painful past to make room for the joyful, fulfilled, self-actualized life they yearn for and deserve.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with over 30 years of expertise in the field. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to studying and practicing various therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt, Expressive Arts, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Grief therapy, and Trauma therapy. My true passion lies in working with those who are living with dissociation and plurality. I am proud to serve on the board of An Infinite Mind and offer Creative Journaling workshops and a Creative Explorations series on zoom for people Living with Dissociation.

“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” -Lisa Olivera. Do you find yourself constantly worrying, stressed, or like you are trapped, and you cannot seem to escape? Do you sometimes feel like no one understands you? You do not have to struggle in silence. I am pleased that you have taken the first step in addressing your concerns. In my practice, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to be able to share whatever is on your mind and where we can explore your concerns together. Let’s sit down and talk!

Do you love video games? Comic books? Dungeons and Dragons? Do feel nervous or afraid all the time? Or sad, disconnected? Have you ever felt like an outcast, misfit, or weirdo? Have you ever asked yourself "Is any of this even real?" or "Am I an NPC?" If so, you may have just found your therapist. I work with geeks, nerds, dorks, and dweebs, LGBTQIA folx, the Kink and Polyamory/ENM communities and people of all cultures and spiritualities. So let's play Minecraft while you process, write fanfic about overcoming adversity, or if you're brave, use Dark Souls to practice coping with big emotions. Makes therapy sound kinda fun, right?

Unleash the power of positive transformation! From childhood, I learned the art of manifesting through words, realizing their profound impact on our thoughts. Shaping a positive mindset is a skill, not innate for many. I guide you to break free from negativity, teaching the art of reframing thoughts and language. If depression, anxiety, or life's stressors weigh you down, I offer support for a brighter future. Let's rewrite your story together and pave the way to a more positive and fulfilling life.
