Therapists in 30305

I've been in practice in Atlanta since 1989 helping adults with relationship problems. I have extensive training and experience in couples and sex therapy. I am solution focused and direct in my approach. I wrote for a couple of years about Marriage and Sex for an online magazine. I have collected many of my articles on my blog which will help you get an idea of how I work. Please go to my blog- http://gerald-drose.blogspot.com/

I have a passion in helping people to thrive and build lives worth living. As a mental health therapist, my practice is concentrated on children and adolescents, and emerging adults, though I also enjoy working with individuals and families of all ages. I currently offer support to those who experience difficult life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, mood dysregulation, and interpersonal conflict.

I help teens, young adults, parents, and families thrive. There are so many expectations and pressures these days. You might notice that you have self-talk that is constantly criticizing you, telling you that you are not "enough" and seem to only be able to focus on what you didn't do. This can result in feelings of anxiety or depression causing problems in your relationships and performance. Your mind won't stop running. You try to keep yourself busy and distract yourself because that helps, but the thoughts come back. You want relief and to feel confident in life again. You're not alone in this. Change is possible!

I'm passionate about adolescents and young adults (ages 12-30ish), understanding that these periods of life can be hard for most of us. If you're a teenager, college student, or young professional who's feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or wrestling with things like identity, self-esteem, or life transitions, I'd love to help. I believe in the strength of young people to work and grow through issues like depression, suicidality, anxiety, transitional issues, academic or social pressures, and more!

I serve people seeking to grow. At any stage, frustration or pain typically signals this growth, and many of us have been hurt. Often in psychotherapy, growth involves vulnerability, learning and healing. As a humanist, with an experiential approach, I offer nurturing, integrative psychotherapy to adults. Personality, relationship, mood, and body are special areas of experience and interest. Though this process takes many directions, I enjoy joining my clients' exploration inward, accompanying them in insight. I am excited by their discovery, reclaiming, and application of self to live in an authentically meaningful, harmonious way.

Therapy is a collaborative human endeavor, joining you in your journey towards wholeness, healing, liberation, and transformation. I emphasize collaboration because it illuminates the heart of therapy and life, where relationality is foundational. As a holistic therapist, I understand that well-being hinges on our relationships with ourselves, others, and nature. Symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress signal ruptured relationships, manifesting in unhealthy patterns of thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Let's embark on self-discovery to uncover and replace these patterns, moving from discord to harmony and fulfillment together

Hey! Stop scrolling for a second and take a break. There's a lot of profiles here, and they can be overwhelming to figure out. You're probably looking for someone because you're at your wits end and fed up with anxiety or depression or something else that is getting in your way. Well, let me be the first to tell you that anxiety is a thief and depression is a liar. It's tough dealing with these things. It's even tougher watching your loved one, especially your child, have to deal with them. It's time to fight back.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health, substance use, and existential problems. The people I work with, regardless of life stage, are often looking to reduce their suffering and increase their sense of meaning and purpose.

Our lives consist of transitions of all kinds. I enjoy meeting people in the spaces within those transitions. Often, such times are the occasion for discernment, assessment, and change.

I focus on strengths as well as challenges and seek creative, imaginative solutions. I respect all life contexts and spiritual orientations. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.
