Therapists in Georgia

Welcome! I work with children, families, and adults across the lifespan. I value meeting my clients where they are, and use a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered approach. I also incorporate a variety of experiential techniques to support my clients, especially kids, in expressing themselves and processing their emotions. I have practiced in schools and community mental health settings where I primarily worked with adults as well as children and families navigating life transitions, intergenerational trauma, neurodiversity, and identity exploration.

Life can bring unexpected challenges that are difficult to get through on your own. I believe that my role as a counselor is to walk alongside my clients and provide guidance as they gain new skills that allow them to work through and heal from those challenges. I have experience working with a variety of needs and concerns, including anxiety, major life changes, adoption, attachment issues, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, anger management, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, depression, and self-regulation.

You have the suspicion that past childhood trauma or previous feelings of abandonment are impacting your current intimate partner relationships. You may have explored your attachment style and want to get a handle on how to not let your past impact your future. Maybe you are someone who gets along well in your relationships - perhaps, too well because you aren’t implementing healthy boundaries. You’re drained but don’t know how to get out of the cycle because everyone now expects for you to be the “strong” friend, or adult child. You want to get to the root of what is going on so that you can be happy in your relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides individual therapy, couples counseling, and psychological/cognitive assessment. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and ages across the lifespan. I utilize a holistic and integrative approach, drawing upon the techniques of skill-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, as well as more theoretical and attachment based therapies like mindfulness and somatic psychotherapy. I address issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation, work life balance, relationship issues, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, identity issues, and personal growth.

Grounded in experiential and existential orientations, I work to understand the meaning you make of life. I walk with you to help identify purpose, values, and behaviors to live more authentically and deliberately.

By choosing to move through discomfort--a normal and healthy response to life's uncertainties--you expand opportunities for growth.

Hi there! My name is Amberly Ellis and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I approach counseling from an integrative, attachment-based, and interpersonal neurobiology lens, recognizing the link between behavior, the nervous system, and interpersonal connection. I believe the behaviors children and teens display are merely their way of communicating a need - a need to connect, a need to be known, a need to be heard, and a need for felt safety. It is my goal to not just help my clients “fix the problem,” but to help build understanding, connection, and a victorious mind.

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.

Sometimes we come to a place where we realize the life we are living is not aligned with our personal values, purpose, or desires. There may be patterns that have served a purpose in the past, helping us manage fear when we have felt unsafe and haven't had the resources to effectively cope. While these strategies may have helped you survive, they may now be holding your body and mind hostage to the past. Together we can explore these patterns with the goal to help you develop personal insight, learn new coping strategies, and heal into a fulfilled life.

I am invested in helping individuals & couples navigate the challenges & milestones that surface in serious dating, pre-engagement, engagement, and married relationships. I am a certified facilitator for several evidence-based relationship-building inventory programs that help reduce vulnerability of a failed relationship. Research shows that most people wait until they are six years into a relationship before they reach for the help, direction, and support they need. I help intentional couples build resilient bonds by more deeply understanding one another through learning & practicing tools to enrich their relationship.
