"Hello, I am Kristia Britt-Orr and I can help you live better and thrive. I must say with a lot of passion and conviction...I love being a therapist, coach (and personal "cheerleader"). From the moment, you step into my office and take a seat, I begin to serve you by listening to your story, engaging you, and working alongside you to come up with the best solutions and plan for your healing, growth, and thrive. I help you achieve this through Christian Counseling, Psychotherapy, and/or Coaching. You will find me to be nonjudgmental, personable, easy to talk to, and appropriately humorous."

"I have been working with people in Atlanta as a licensed clinical psychologist for36years. They may be experiencing anxiety or depression or frustration or anger or even hopelessness. These feelings may be related to issues such as their family of origin, their current relationship, their job, their health, their sexuality or other areas of life. While I have on occasion worked with children and adolescents, I work primarily with adults in individual, couples and group psychotherapy. I find it fulfilling to work with people to make positive changes in their lives."

"I work with women on women's issues, and see newly divorced women and mothers who are re-identifying themselves while managing life as it happens. The changes in our lives often make us feel overwhelmed and sad. Perhaps you've been through a divorce or painful breakup; you're a mother desperately needing support and understanding; you're changing careers and feeling uncertain about your future; or you're looking for help breaking unhealthy patterns that hold you back."

"I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to heal the wounds of the past and the present. Experiencing yourself differently in relationship, you to the other and the other to you can be an important part of the process. My work with clients weaves together my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy with my training in bodypsychotherapy. I might do so through talking and bringing one's awarness to what they are experiencing in their body or I might work more directly with their body through movement, sound or touch. My clinical approach would depend on the client and what they bring to therapy ."

"I work with clients from many walks of life who want healing from childhood wounds & trauma, addiction, relationship anxiety & family of origin issues. You can expect therapy that'll get you beyond just talking about it. With In-Depth Psychotherapy, EMDR, Brainspotting & Hypnotherapy you'll use your self-healing abilities to break repetitive patterns, release emotional memories & resolve inner conflicts. It won't take that long. I typically help clients achieve their goals in about 4 months due to healing the root cause of their struggle & not just band-aiding symptoms. "

"My areas of expertise include working with struggles around addiction/recovery, LGBTQ clients, folks managing stress, anxiety or old, limiting beliefs, those recovering from trauma - big or small, and anyone looking to reconnect to more meaning and joy in their lives. My counseling style is comfortable and laid back. I'll probably have my shoes off, and yoga pants are a strong possibility. Our work will likely include exploring connections between your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, practices to improve your mind-body connection and sense of self (which may include yoga/meditation), and possibly some body-focused work, such as EMDR."

"I help young professional women assert themselves in the workplace and in their personal lives. There may be a fear of being judged or negatively labeled that keeps you from letting your light shine. When you are not able to be the full expression of yourself, you are often left feeling dissatisfied, disregarded, and overlooked. These feelings easily turn into resentment and can leave you feeling anxious or even depressed."

"Many of my clients, both individuals and couples, desire closer and more meaningful relationships. Relationship issues, whether with ourselves or with others, cause a variety of problems including depression and anxiety. I help my clients make sense of their relationship patterns and examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be obstacles to experiencing a fulfilling and exciting life. I work under the premise that the first step in dealing with emotional and relational problems is to become aware of what keeps us in their trap."

""Work like you don't need money - love like you will never be hurt - dance like no one is watching." Does this sound good to you? If so, maybe I can help: work & life stress, relationships issues, communication, self esteem. Move beyond stress, irritability and mood swings. In person, telephone, virtual/video counseling & coaching. My clients and I are interactive partners in a problem-solving process that focuses on client strengths and building skills to successfully master life challenges. I primarily utilize CBT, focusing on the present and how our emotions & behaviors are influenced by our thoughts. "don't believe everything you think!""

"My goal is to provide clients with new insights to thought processes and behaviors along with new methods for handling every day difficulties that can be utilized right away. I provide my clients with a safe and inviting environment where they can learn more about the world around them and build on their strengths. It is important that we work together to formulate treatment goals, and use the counseling process to understand and improve social and emotional functioning."

"I work with clients in my private practice, who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems, however, there are times in our lives when we need assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. I provide a safe environment for clients to explore their life path and integrate wellness with the necessary aspects of change."

"Substance abuse, grief, trauma, anxiety and other obstacles can often make life feel unmanageable. Beginning to face these challenges alone can be daunting. That’s where therapy can help. As a therapist, I work to create a non-judgmental environment for each person so that he or she can feel comfortable and relaxed while working through difficult issues. I believe everyone has the power to make changes in their lives in order to make life feel enjoyable and manageable again. "

"I specialize in men's issues, relationship issues, and couples therapy. "Men's issues" refers to numerous factors that contribute to men's dissatisfaction with life (e.g., work stress and few friends), as well as the consequences (e.g., behaviors that can become excessive and problematic -- substance use, workouts, sex, etc.). I offer a safe environment where you can address difficult issues. I am casual and down-to-earth. My approach is pragmatic and client-centered. (Visit my website to read more about my approach to therapy and to watch video clips from workshops that I've done for mental health professionals.)"

"Empowering you with the tools and supports needed to resolve emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns is my goal. Operating from a strengths-based perspective, I meet you where you are on your personal journeys and facilitate a path for you to lead a more productive life. I strongly believe you have the skills needed to fulfill life goals and overcome challenges; but sometimes a guide is needed to address patterns of behaviors and problematic thinking that may be hindering your success. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where growth, self-exploration and positive change can occur."

"I help self-motivated young women “have it all” while managing the ups and downs of life. To “have it all” means something different for everyone. I help women redefine and create their own definition of “having it all” and set and achieve realistic goals. I help women build confidence to create their own set of standards for their lives without guilt and shame. We work to dispel beliefs about who you should be and create a narrative of acceptance for who you are presently and who you are becoming."

"Change can be really hard, but it is possible. I want to help you understand what could make a difference and develop a plan for improving the quality of your life. I like working in a warm, comfortable, and informal environment where we can talk more easily about the things that are troubling you. I have over 30 years experience as a therapist in the mental health field including 17 years in my current private practice. I have a diverse practice because I like working with people from different backgrounds who are dealing with a variety of issues."

"For over 40 years, I have been a psychotherapist helping clients live happier, more productive, and interactive lives. I use eclectic, EMDR, psychodynamic, experiential, psychomotor, energy, and CBT approaches ; essentially what works. I have been described as warm, empathic, dedicated, and perceptive. Since 1994, I have used a profound technique called EMDR helping people change core negative beliefs by processing memories and feeling that have formed theses beliefs. I train other therapists in EMDR and currently run 3 consultation groups for EMDR therapists. It is exciting to witness clients shifting their negative beliefs and learning new ways to self-soothe."
