Therapists in Atlanta, GA

"The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." - Albert Einstein I feel honored to have the privilege to be part of people's decision to improve their lives and create new beginnings. Utilizing individual, family, and couples psychotherapy I help people uncover patterns that may be holding them back. Together we work towards implementing strategies to find balance, confidence, and joy. My therapeutic approach includes the building of insight, cognitive and/or behavioral strategies, and the healing experience of a collaborative and compassionate relationship.

“I don’t feel seen.” “Opening up is scary.” “I feel stuck, and I don’t know what to do.” So many of us have had experiences—like relationship issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, and past trauma—that leave us feeling just like those quotes: alone and confused. As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients like you feel seen, heard, and supported as you get clear on what’s holding you back and learn new ways to move forward.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first steps toward becoming a better version of yourself. The decision to pursue therapy takes so much bravery! I hope to honor such efforts by providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your past/present issues to provide insight into feelings and behaviors. This process lays the groundwork for reaching a place of greater fulfillment.

As a warm, heart-centered, holistic therapist, I am deeply interested in accompanying my clients in their journey to health, happiness, and wholeness. In facilitating a safe healing space for adults, we gently explore what emerges in the present moment, letting the session organically unfold. I am welcoming clients who want to step into an authentic, more peaceful, more empowered and expansive place within themselves. I work with those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship turmoil, spiritual or existential issues, grief, life transitions, women's issues, co-dependency, abuse, trauma, or those simply wanting to find deeper contentment in their lives.

Hello! I am Alex Hopkins of Early Connections Child & Family Counseling. I specialize in counseling boys ages 8-18, and young men ages 19-22. Many of the young people I work with are recovering from trauma, and need a safe place to heal. Others are struggling to fit in with their peers, and need to know they're not alone. Some of them are navigating the tricky waters of sexual development, or identify as LGBTQ+ and need a place where they are welcomed and affirmed. A lot of the young people I work with feel anxious and/or depressed and want to feel hopeful again. All of the people I work with want to feel safe, seen, and secure.

Hello and welcome! I provide a creative and exploratory environment for children, preteens, teens, and their families to navigate through the anxiety and struggles of life's challenges. With a foundation in expressive therapy and play therapy, based on client presentation and needs, I integrate both directive and non-directive play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and mind/body connection. I find that therapy is not a one size fits all experience and I strive to engage clients in creatively finding what will support them within the therapeutic experience.

When you’re going through a life transition, it is difficult to find your footing. Whether you chose this change or not, it seems one area of life has shaken your whole world. It's had an impact at home, in relationships, with family, at school, or work. You feel alone and confused. You want to enjoy the present and feel hopeful, instead of constantly playing over what you could have done differently. You want to stop feeling so raw and vulnerable.

I work with adults, young and seasoned, dealing with underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship related, guiding them through to cope with and/or healing through such challenges. Together, we will get you through a crisis from divorce to death and support you to "resurrect" from such major life transitions. I draw upon cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, expressive arts (including visual arts, body movement, music, poetry and journaling), career counseling, eco-therapy and mindfulness, to effect change. In addition, I bring 30 years of working with individuals in higher education.

I provide healing services using art therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, play therapy, DBT, EMDR and others. I work from a strength-based approach to meet you where you are. I believe the therapeutic relationship is sacred and that each person, couple, family or group is different, with different needs. It is through my life experience, training, and education that I am able to work creatively with you to meet your needs and goals. I provide therapeutic services to groups, individuals of all ages, families and couples, and have extensive experience working with individuals and families struggling with addiction and codependency.

As a Multi-Lingual Mental Health Counselor, I've had the opportunity of working with English, Spanish, and Portuguese speaking populations.

I firmly believe that people can heal through the power of the therapeutic alliance between the client and the therapist, while implementing new skills that will improve their situations. "The therapist's role is like a mirror where the soul can be explored"

Having a hard time getting through past traumas from your childhood and you recognize how it's showing up in your relationships?

My practice is rooted in Liberation Psychology and Family Systems approaches. Whether you are seeking family therapy, trauma-focused therapy, or support for your anxiety or depression, I collaborate with you to achieve your treatment goals. I believe all people have an innate capacity to grow, heal, and change if they are provided a safe and supportive environment. I help people gain awareness of how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves, find ways to remove obstacles to emotional growth, and move towards feeling more connected.

Adolescence and young adulthood brings unique challenges and excitement that often requires extra support from sources outside of friends and family. Navigating changes and life transitions can feel overwhelming, anxiety producing, and generally stressful. Finding the right therapist is one of the most important factors in your success towards feeling better. 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.

"My child doesn't know how to regulate their emotions." I hear this a lot. And it's true. No one is born knowing how to regulate their emotions, and most of us who are adults now were never actually taught, we just did our best to figure it out, and now we're trying to pass on the skill to small, emotionally volatile people with half-baked nervous systems. Yeah. If it feels hard, it's because it IS. And if you have a child with some extra emotional sensitivity or sensory processing differences or neurodivergence or a trauma history or big life changes, it's even harder. And now YOUR nervous system is frayed.

I know firsthand what it feels like to show up for myself, even when I don’t feel it. As a Black woman, I understand how hard it is to live authentically in a society that makes you feel like you aren’t enough. My ideal client is someone who lives at the intersection of multiple minority identities. I enjoy helping individuals cope with stress, anxiety, depression, issues related to identity and the impact of organized religion. I prioritize Black women & Black Queer folx in my work.

Children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and difficult life transitions know that it can feel overwhelming, stressful and may feel worried that no one will understand how they feel. This may affect friendships, relationships with family members, school and work experiences, and many other areas of life. Therapy can help decrease anxiety and worries by teaching new coping skills to better manage anxiety and stress. This can lead to feeling a greater sense of self control, happiness and well being.
