Therapists in Brookhaven, GA

My goal is to be a collaborative partner with clients seeking to make positive changes in their lives. Specializing in trauma, addictions, depression, and anxiety, I hope to help you successfully navigate life's journeys. Working together through uncertainty, confusion, and feeling "in between" life's roles, we will develop goals and select effective treatments to help you achieve these goals. In addition, I offer couples and family therapy to strengthen my client's relationships. Finally, I provide supervision, training, and therapy for health care providers.

Your problems may be specific - a challenging relationship, sexual concerns, upsetting memories, or problem behaviors. Or your struggles may be less tangible - feeling lost, detached, or stuck. In my practice, I offer adult and couples therapy for a range of concerns. I specialize in treating sexual dysfunctions, trauma-related issues, relationship concerns, and problem behaviors. I also provide gender & sexual identity affirming care. I deeply enjoy helping individuals feel a greater sense of self-efficacy, confidence, and clarity in their lives.

Seeds of New Beginnings Mental Health Agency consist of skilled and credentialed professionals who assist individuals and families dealing with depression, grief, anxiety, stress, and anger management issues. We offer couple's therapy, marriage therapy, and substance use help therapy including harm reduction strategies. Most of our clients have been dealing with increased anxiety due to the result of the pandemic and loss of family members. We also have clients who endured bullying which has impacted their self-confidence and self-esteem. Our specialist has served the population struggling with addiction to alcohol and drug use.

I know the process of selecting a therapist can be a daunting one, and I commend you on taking a first step toward changing your life. I am a clinical social worker with over fifteen years of experience helping people overcome traumatic experiences, improve their relationships and change their lives for the better. I am trained to help people navigate stressful situations when their emotions, memories or previous experiences block them. Sometimes we don't even know what is bothering us or what we want to change, we just know that our life isn’t how we wish it.

I am an ABPP certified psychologist providing evidence-based psychotherapy to people ages 17+. Having practiced in Georgia since 2007 when I completed my postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Psychology at Emory University, I've worked in private practice and hospital settings for 15+ years treating depression, anxiety (including OCD, panic, phobias, and chronic worry/GAD), PTSD and other trauma or grief related issues, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and issues related to meaning/purpose and existential distress. I work with individuals from late adolescence through older adulthood across the continua of gender, ethnicity, and faith.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience, I have found the use of proven techniques such as CBT and EMDR are effective strategies that help my clients best cope with challenges, improve their relationships, and achieve their goals. Over the years, I have provided clinical services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, active duty soldiers, and veterans with the following challenges: alcohol/drugs, focusing, impulsiveness, difficulties managing anger or anxiety, trust violations, depression, PTSD, domestic violence, sex, pornography, low self-esteem, weight gain/loss, and relationship challenges.

Deciding to see a Doctoral level therapist is a hard decision to make and it can seem scary. Therefore, it's important for you to know that I am non-judgmental, provide a safe and confidential atmosphere, and am usually pretty good at helping people feel comfortable right away. I am honest and always provide professional and practical opinions in a caring and empathic manner within the scope of my practice. I work with adults of all ages, older adolescents, couples, and families, regardless of background. I also perform all sorts of psychological assessments if one is needed (i.e. diagnostic, court ordered, child custody, etc.).

Hello, my name is Leslie. I have worked in the mental health field for ten years, serving a diverse array of clients with a variety of different mental health diagnoses. I offer a nonjudgmental healing space full of support, compassion and empathy, meeting the client where they are. My counseling style is warm but direct, interactive and collaborative- listening, validating, challenging and problem solving. Clients often present with the question “what is wrong with me?” Often a more helpful question is “what happened to you?" We can work together to set you free, allowing you to regain a sense of control and empowerment in life.

A mantra that resonates with me both personally and professionally is, “Do a brave thing every day.” I love working with clients who are motivated to self-discover and grow. I specialize in providing exposure therapy and other evidence-based treatments to individuals who struggle with problems related to OCD, trauma, anxiety, and fear-based difficulties. I also specialize in helping clients overcome tics, skin-picking, and trichotillomania. I use a flexible approach to individually tailor evidence-based tools and treatments to each client based on values, culture, and client needs.

I'm excited to join you on the journey to a more positive future. Everyone has the power to overcome adversity and be their best self. I approach therapy as a collaborator to those struggling to find their path. Successful therapy is different for everyone. I individualize therapy for your unique personality and special challenges. I will teach you tools to better prepare for the daily challenges of life. We will achieve insight into your feelings and experiences and set goals together in a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can be your true self. I'm seeing clients in Alpharetta and in Savannah, GA.

FINALLY, A PLACE FOR WOMEN. I created Zusha Women’s Counseling so women could have a place where we could discuss our struggle. In the past years, we have been asked to do more but with little support. My goal as a therapist is to address that struggle and provide that environment where we can work as a team to heal. In the past, I have had experience working in inpatient, outpatient and state agencies, where I have served young children to older adults.

A note to my clients who identify as Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, LBGTQ+. I am Anti Racist and an ally. Working together I hear and respect your story, I know you are Personally impacted by systemic racism and discrimination. The minute you pick up that phone or send an email requesting an appointment there is courage realized. Sometimes our world shrinks when we are feeling sad or hurt and it takes courage to break through. It is my sincere belief that we are full of endless possibilities. I also know that reaching out for a guide to help become unstuck is the first step to freeing those possibilities.

Are you nervous, having panic attacks, shortness of breath, or maybe your heart is racing and you can't explain it; it could potentially be anxiety. Maybe for lack of better coping skills you have increased your use of alcohol or drugs. Maybe your family is telling you you are addicted to or abusing alcohol or drugs, but you don't know what else to do. Some people don't understand what is happening to their body and are fearful of where to go or how to get help.

We all need a little help now and then. Whether you are experiencing negative life experiences, have long term issues or needing relational help, I would be honored to help. I am a seasoned psychotherapist spending my life looking for and experiencing traditional and alternative methods to heal emotional suffering. Most of my work has been with combat, complex, childhood and single episode trauma. I am well versed in grief recovery, family dynamics, healthy parenting and coping strategies for long term recovery. I work with people of all ages in individual, group family and weekend retreat sessions.
