Hello, I am Jocelyn Evans-Shaw. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents to assist them in achieving a sense of health and wholeness. I work with clients addressing issues including, but not limited to, trauma, relationship stressors, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions such as marriage, divorce, and career change. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions and techniques, and my primary philosophy of psychotherapy is an attachment-based approach emphasizing increased resilience and self-awareness.

NOTE: Lets have a conversation. At Creative Connections Sharron Cross and her team provide mental health services to individuals, couples, and families tailored to meet an individual's needs with "just a conversation" in a "non judgmental" zone for breakthroughs and personal growth. We believe that a practice with therapists qualified to meet varying needs is an essential component to servicing the community. We at Creative Connections like to think of our time together as self care. Whether you are struggling with life's challenges, need a little encouragement or a place to share testimonies of personal growth we are here for YOU!

Are you feeling lost? Overwhelmed? Frustrated? Are you experiencing life transitions that seem to be out of control? Despite your educational/financial successes, are your relationships seemingly fractured or falling apart? Has your motivation waned? Are you tired of maintaining a façade? Did you answer 'Yes' to any of the previous questions? Asking for help is difficult but it is a courageous and important first step toward realizing the healing, growth and wholeness for which you're longing. You deserve encouragement while working toward accomplishing your personal goals, support in navigating through disappointments, deeper personal relationships, and achieving meaning and purpose in your life.

You may be seeking therapy to help remove or change issues which are causing you discomfort. In addition to therapy helping you cope and reduce your distress, the process of self-discovery within the therapeutic relationship can lead to an increased understanding and acceptance of yourself. It can also lead to an expansion of comfort with all aspects of yourself. I am a clinical psychologist with 30 years’ experience working with adults and young adults in individual and couples therapy. I am also a certified EMDR therapist.

I work with adults seeking to optimize intimate relationships and embrace the vitality that comes when we express our full sexual selves. I believe in the healing power of authenticity, secure connection, and self-acceptance. My passion and focus is working with clients to strengthen emotional and physical intimacy and healthy engagement by improving communication, building or rebuilding trust, releasing shame, and embracing self-acceptance. I have experience working with neurodiverse clients as well as clients struggling with anxiety and depression. I am sex-positive, kink-, queer-, trans-, and consensual non-monogamy-friendly.

My goal as a clinician is to encourage and empower my clients to be the best version of themselves. Recognizing there is always room to grow beyond unfortunate circumstances is vital to increasing one's quality of life. Administering services within the social services spectrum with everything it entails to include but not limited to the coordination of care, community linkage and emotional support fit very with my desire to help my clients reach their full potential.

Amy Howard is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. She is also certified as a Sex Therapist by the American American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). Amy completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia majoring in Child and Family Development. She earned her Masters of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Auburn University. Amy completed a masters thesis on the topic of married women’s sexual satisfaction.

I have 30+ years of clinical experience working with adults who are experiencing relationship problems, have difficulty controlling anger, suffer from depression, and those who experience anxiety including PTSD. I also work with couples who want to enrich their relationship, or are caught in a cycle of negativity as well as those dealing with infidelity. Having been a corporate psychologist for 13 years I am also well qualified to coach managers and executives as well as their families.

If life is feeling hard or you're just feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you determine what you need next. I believe deeply in this process of therapy and in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully. Maybe you are dealing with relationship concerns, overwhelming anxiety or feelings of sadness and despair. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma or childhood pain, or experience feelings of detachment or impulsivity. Maybe you feel a little lost and are looking to find your voice and your purpose.

Overwhelmed? Stressed out? Stuck? I am available and am honored to explore what is and isn't working for you in your life. I collaborate with you to support, challenge and encourage your efforts to change and/or discover more about yourself, your partner and your relationships. I strive to provide a reassuring and calm space for you to heal if needed as well as co-create opportunities to grow and recover. I am a flexible and attentive therapist dedicated to providing quality care.

I have a general private practice seeing adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapies. Among my areas of work are: couples transitioning to parenthood, working with women who are experiencing prenatal and postpartum issues, families having young children with disabilities, parenting difficulties, relationship problems, adolescents and young adults struggling with life transitions, and general stress, anxiety and depression. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, drawing from many sources particularly psychodynamic and relational principles. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to be present with you, providing a safe space to explore what emerges during the therapy sessions.

Reaching out to a therapist is hard. So first, take a moment to commend yourself for prioritizing your wellbeing - it is difficult, even for me as a therapist! I believe that we all have a desire for genuine relational connection. However, our past experiences (eg. oppression, trauma, relational disconnections) inform our strategies of survival (eg. perfectionism, addiction, avoidance), which paradoxically leave us feeling dysregulated, isolated, or stuck in painful relationships. I see therapy as a space where you and I can co-create an open & authentic relationship, which will help us explore and heal your current life stressors.

My experience includes working with individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents experiencing a wide range of difficulties, in both individual and group sessions, in school, church, community and private practice settings. I understand how challenging it is to seek help and the courage it takes to change. We carry with us the unconscious lessons and ways of being that we learned in our earliest relationships. By uncovering these ineffective life strategies and learning new ways of relating, I am committed to helping you develop the tools you need to achieve lasting transformation in your life.

Welcome to my practice! I work with adult individuals, couples, and families to address mood and behavior problems, grief and loss, life transitions, divorce, parenting/co-parenting, family conflict, intimacy problems, and other relationship difficulties. I also help clients address family-of-origin concerns, attachment issues, and personal development. In addition to my counseling and psychotherapy practice, I facilitate workshops for new and expecting parents through the Gottman Institute. I also have training in EFT couple therapy.

Do you nurture fear or hope? Investing in therapy is a positive step towards facing your fears and uncovering new possibilities. Identify insights, wisdom and truth whether you are struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief or major life transitions. We'll clarify your values and develop custom skills and tools to support change. Integrating experiential interventions with systems theory and mindfulness strategies helps you understand new ways for dealing with challenges.

As a therapist, one of the first and most important messages I hope to communicate about my professional work is that I feel honored each and every time I have the privilege to sit with clients in their pursuit towards growth. My work is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives, and my role is to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship to help facilitate change and empower them to live fully.

My name is Mary BeardCurry. I am a licensed professional counselor, and I have been seeing clients for 25 years. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, often helping clients rewrite how they have experienced life, resulting in present-day transformation and happiness. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, as there is no "one size fits all." I love combining cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and solution-based. Over the last 15 years, I have been incorporating a "Rewriting" approach with GREAT success.
