Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

"HEALING, TRANSFORMATION and ultimately MANIFESTATION!!!" is my motto. I want every individual I work with to define their power in the world by overcoming and expanding from any barriers to PERSONAL GROWTH! I work with adults on parenting issues, domestic violence, past trauma, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and depression. I work with adolescents in areas of trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger issues, depression, LGBTQ challenges, grief/bereavement, and abuse. I work with couples/families to remove any ongoing barriers and assist with fostering ongoing healthy communication with all members of the family.

Are you making positive choices for your life? Are you motivated to be the best you can be? I apply creative approaches to everyday challenges. I take a client centered approach to therapy and I believe everyone possesses great potential and deserves a life of purpose and personal fulfillment. My passion is working with couples and individuals, adolescents and adults, who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression along with substance abuse, relationship issues and co-parenting. I am highly committed to resolving conflict and helping individuals rebuild their lives.

Specializing in "Anxiety" and "Stuckness" (and everything else in between), The Mind Doctor® co-pilots your journey providing Hypnotherapy and other somatic techniques designed to heal the adult drama that stems from unresolved childhood trauma. The Mind Doctor® is not a “Life Coach” or “Relationship Expert”. They work on a lower level, the conscious mind, offering advice and giving logical solutions. Au contraire, The Mind Doctor® works in a different dimension, the subconscious mind, where EVERYTHING resides, resolving trauma and healing the past! The Mind is the most powerful tool you have, and EVERYTHING starts in the Mind!

There are so many factors that play a role in our happiness and we are here to assist you in dealing with problems so that you can create a unique, meaningful life that encompasses your values and wishes. As therapists we believe that all people need a safe, non-judgemental space where they are allowed to work through issues/challenges with unconditional support, while also being challenged and held accountable in a respectful and compassionate manner. Our practice encompasses a holistic perspective focusing on the mind, body and spiritual wellness, according to the client's wants and needs.

I provide therapy in a supportive atmosphere, to adults, children, couples, and families, who need assistance in dealing with life's obstacles. I see clients from two to ninety-nine years of age. Whether it's child behavior problems, individual stressors, couple, or family issues, inner peace is attainable. I assist people in increasing their level of happiness and overall life satisfaction while focusing on building better relationships and stronger families. The goal is always the same- to enable clients to become the best version of themselves.

Do you feel sad, lonely, hurt, or feel that your life is missing something? Do you have a child who is struggling with mood dysregulation, self-harming thoughts, or is simply "out-of-control?"

As a therapist, I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions (young adulthood, changes in relationship status) and utilize an integrated approach valuing the unification of body, mind and spirit. I enjoy working from a foundation of connection, with a focus on the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship. I am trained in Brainspotting and also use relaxation / visualization exercises to assist my clients in experiencing grounding during our sessions. My goal is to partner with my clients to assist them in working toward creating a meaningful life.

You don't know why, but you just don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel depressed, you can't focus, you are anxious or wanting to isolate yourself. You don't know when it started but something is not right and your life is not like it used to be. What would your life be like if you had a greater understanding and better tools for coping with and managing your emotions? What would your relationships be like if you had a deeper awareness of yourself and improved strategies for communicating with your loved ones?

"My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment-a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want. I've been told by clients that I am "annoyingly optimistic" but that I also "tell it like it is." I expect you to be the "driver" of your therapy while I navigate and provide various paths for you.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner. I don’t try and control a sunset.” I watch with awe as it unfolds (Rogers, 1980). In my therapeutic work over the past 15 years I have been uniquely fortunate to watch as potential and destiny unfolds for clients. In my clinical roles I fully espouse a person-centered strength-based focus and approach with clients, to the end of collaborative problem solving with your concerns and goals at the heart of our work together.

Are sadness, frustration, insecurity, relationship struggles, stress or a painful past keeping you from happiness, success and satisfaction in your life? Are your own unhelpful thoughts, perspectives and behaviors? I can help. I have enjoyed helping people of various ages, ethic, spiritual, and economic backgrounds and diverse sexual/gender orientations/ presentations live peaceful, effective and successful lives. I hope to join you on your journey of exploration and healing. I even have convenient evening hours!

The ideal client is searching for a safe space to release what is going on in their minds but hasn’t been able to find a space to do so yet. A client that is dealing with second guessing themselves, or thinking they aren’t good enough despite wanting to continue on and do better for themselves will find comfort here. A client that is trying to get their life back together, or in order for the first time, due to the chaos that they are going through are invited to join a space to help them develop and implement the goals to lead to a more satisfying life.

Counseling is a healthy commitment and shows bravery. It is crucial to find the right fit for yourself, one who can best relate to your issues. Working for Peachford, Ridgeview, and Emory Hospitals, has allowed me to focus on trauma, persons on the spectrum, persistent anxiety, ADHD, grief, and resistent depression. My goal is to serve as an advocate for those desiring healing, proper medical care and learning to use their voice. Specializing in teens, college students, and adults who suffer from intrusive thoughts, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, divorce, parental alienation, and narcissist abuse.
