Therapists in Atlanta, GA

As a Black woman, I recognize the importance of providing a safe and inclusive space. I work with clients who are navigating day to day life changes such as stress management, anxiety, family/friend relationships, and childhood trauma. Therapy is a collaborative journey that does not have to be traversed alone.

I enjoy working with clients looking for a unique and personalized approach to therapy. While I am well versed in traditional approaches, I also specialize in animal assisted therapy, art therapy, and play therapy. These tools allow me to tailor my therapeutic approach to the individual and take an integrative approach to counseling. Everyone is different, and it is important that we find an approach that is a good fit for you. I am a therapist at Acorn Center for Counseling Growth, & Healing LLC supervised by Rebecca Ahmadi LPC008726.

Dr. Shah offers TeleTherapy through video conferencing (https://www.atlpsy.com/teletherapy). We often face challenges that can impact our security, emotional well-being, and sense of identity. Dr. Shah works with adults facing ongoing challenges or momentary stressful situations. Certain life circumstances might be serving as road blocks to our goals and sense of sanctification.

Navigating changes and life transitions can feel overwhelming, anxiety producing, and generally stressful.

I work with children, teens, young adults, and highly sensitive individuals seeking support with anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, managing boundaries, and executive functioning.

Life can often feel overwhelming, and the impact of our experiences can have ripple effects into our work, relationships, health, and overall well-being. Many of us have been conditioned to equate strength with a lack of emotional vulnerability. The pride we feel in our ability to be strong and hold it together can also be the biggest detriment to our wellbeing. Although this “strength” has helped many of us survive, it has also kept many of us suffering in silence. It is my passion to assist people in breaking unhealthy cycles of behavior that hold them back from the relationships they desire and living the lives they deserve.

Are you hesitant to start therapy, or have you had bad therapy experiences in the past? Then I'd love to work with you! I know that it takes a significant amount of courage to seek help because I've been a therapy client myself. I aim to help you feel heard, seen, and hopeful, starting with our very first session. Here's my commitment to you: I will work with you to identify your goals and discover how we can get there together, by providing gentle yet direct feedback and a judgment-free space to explore your reality - the good, bad, & everything in between.

Would you like to handle life and its problems rather than have them handle you? I can help you to do so . I work with people who have depression, anxiety and relationship problems. My approach is multi-modal meaning I borrow from whatever psychological approach would be appropriate in your situation. I have been in private practice for 30 years so am seasoned but not ancient. My license is in Marriage and Family but I also do individual counseling and am on the panels of most insurance companies.

I see therapy as a powerful commitment to one's own healing and personal evolution, in the context of a genuine relationship based on equality and respect. I work best with people who are ready and willing to dive in and learn new ways to be with themselves, no matter what circumstances they are dealing with (relationship problems, grief and loss, sexuality and identity issues, negative thinking, depression, anxiety, family responsibilities, health issues, midlife transitions, etc). Though deep listening is foundational, I take an active role in offering feedback and teaching you tools for shifting your inner and outer realties.
