Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in 30060

I do not believe in the statement "my past does not define me." It absolutely does! Everything you have experienced, both good and bad, is the reason why you are who you are today. Every single choice you make is made through the lenses of your life experiences. We run from labels that have been forced on us and grasp for ones that make us feel more... What would happen if you embraced your true self, who you really are inside and out, the good and the bad. Then sorted out your past to the best of its ability and took it from there day by day in the present for your future? I would be honored to walk this journey with you!

Ready for a change? Navigating a difficult situation? Reaching out for help can be both scary and life-changing. I am here to assist people in healing what is holding them back.

Are you searching for a counselor because it feels like your life is falling apart? Well, you are not alone. You may have experienced a difficult childhood and convinced yourself “It’s in the past…It was no big deal.” Except, it is a big deal because, the past affects our present. Shame convinces individuals that they are bad instead of understanding that something bad happened. Having a counselor that can listen with an open mind and heart, and validate your pain is a start. I too have been where you are. I know how to walk beside you in your journey of healing and restoration.

I am a down to earth, approachable person who enjoys meeting people and helping them find a way to navigate through the obstacles that life puts in their way. I do this by using the strengths clients already have, and by creating and developing new ones which we find together. I develop intimate relationships with my clients; therapy is serious business and there is a lot of work to be done, but I work side-by-side with my clients to achieve the goals we create in our initial sessions. There is room for laughter too, and there is plenty of that in therapy also.

Are you looking for counseling, psychotherapy? Are you or your child struggling with problems? Through individual and/or family counseling, you can develop ways to address problems. Psychological testing may be used to more deeply understand your challenges. Assisting you at the highest level, my knowledge and skills are kept current. I've been a licensed psychologist for over 28 years. I assist children and teenagers, adults, couples and families. Prior to private practice, I obtained extensive inpatient experience in a psychiatric prison, an inpatient adolescent facility and the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center .

As a licensed professional counselor, my goal is to help individuals, couples, and families identify areas where change is needed to enhance growth, harmony, and balance in their lives. I take a holistic approach to therapy by incorporating a variety of therapeutic modalities into my practice including CBT, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Imago Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness Based Therapy (i.e., meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Hypnotherapy, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Animal Assisted Therapy.

As an experienced therapist, I have dealt with a broad range of mental health issues. I work with a network of physicians, mental health providers, and spiritual advisors to provide the best care for my clients. I aim to guide clients in asking the right questions and finding answers that lead to positive and progressive outcomes in the therapeutic process. While my primary focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I employ other techniques as needed to help my clients achieve the change they desire.

My ideal client is anyone who is looking to better their mental health, and take the steps needed to start taking care of themselves in order to start feeling like themselves again.

I can help you explore & discover a sense of peace and tranquility by establishing coping skills, empowerment & developing treatment goals! You are just a few steps away from your transformation and living out your best version of self! Taking that first step to asking for help takes a lot of courage, so I'd like to express how courageous it is to get to this point. My approach is supportive, kind, and powerful as you and I journey together on your path to healing.

Throughout therapy process I assist my clients in overcoming their difficulties in life, reaching their full potential, learning to accept themselves, and become authentic. My therapeutic style is a warm, unconditionally accepting, and supportive engagement with each individual on the thrilling journey to better understand who he/she really is, processing and letting go of the burdens carried from the past, identifying one's strengths, bolstering personal growth and change.

The world is ever-changing and so are we. Chaos and uncertainty are permeating our lives currently and there is no better way to manage the present moment but to make adjustments if we want to be at peace with ourselves and the world, and live long-lasting, fulfilling lives. And that is my intent to you, to live a life worth living, a life full of joy and free from anxiety, depression, and unnecessary suffering. I want to offer a safe place for you to express yourself without judgment and with acceptance, and help you balance out your own energy which may be blocked by the stresses and hardships that life brought you.

Hi! My name is Whitney and I am a licensed Associate Professional Counselor in Georgia. I have experience working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, anger management, depression, trauma and life transitions. I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I love working with clients who are seeking change in their lives and are ready to live a meaningful life.

Security, stability, balance - these three words come to mind when I think of ultimate human desire; to feel safe, stable and overall a sense of balance within our lives; at times we may feel these are not being met. It is my hope for us to work collaboratively to identify problem areas and work towards regaining balance in your life. My goal is to approach our therapeutic relationship with compassion, non-judgment, empathy and acceptance. I build my work upon a client-centered approach, as I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation to therapeutic success.
