Therapists in Brookhaven, GA

I have over 19 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with people from various backgrounds, with 13 of those years being a counselor. I particularly like to work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that, ultimately, the client is the agent of change and I am simply the guide on your journey to wholeness. Together we will identify your goals and, through our work together, I will help you reach them. I work with a myriad of issues, from marital relationship and family conflict, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, trauma and more!

Are you happy? Do you have questions that you just can’t seem to answer? Is there a feeling of disconnection or distraction? Do you feel like a spectator in your own life? These questions and many more face us all…. maybe more succinctly put …. Are you living your best life? As a counselor, coach, and mentor, my passion is helping you and your family answer that ultimate question with a resounding YES! In life we all struggle with our emotional health from time to time and through solution focused and cognitive behavioral counseling I work with you, my client, to resolve these concerns and promote growth.

Hi, my name is LaShell Pope. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who loves working with adolescents and adults in diverse populations of different races, cultures, and ethnicities. My approach is to journey with individuals who have experienced depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and different mood disorders. I am also passionate about relationship management, offering pre-marital and marriage counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and spiritual therapy as a certified Trainer/Facilitator with Prepare-Enrich and Level 1 Gottman certified therapist.

My ideal client is struggling with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, perfection tendencies and an overwhelming need for approval & control which interrupts their growth; replicates toxic patterns and undermines self-esteem. My training will be helpful in connecting the dots while promoting healthy responses to life challenges. A plethora of tools is used to enhance your capacity to realize your potential so that you can live the best version of yourself while demarcating the distinction between your history and your destiny. Betrayed and needing to heal from an affair or prevent one; come see me.

Are you dealing with the loss of a loved one? You’re balancing caregiving, and feeling anxious. Your friends or family want to be supportive, but they don't know how. You want to feel prepared, but don’t know how? Maybe you’ve already lost someone you love- a family member, a friend, a partner, a pet? Are you struggling to find a new path forward? Or maybe you just received a cancer diagnosis? Alternatively, are you feeling stuck in a relationship with a family member, friend, or partner? Do you keep repeating toxic relationship patterns and you're not sure why? You're exhausted and looking for a new perspective?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. I work with a wide array of clients; from survivors of trauma to those struggling with anxiety, coping skills, depression, obsessive-compulsive (OCD), stress, trauma and PTSD, adolescents/teens, dual diagnosis, life transitions, self-esteem, and self-harming. I utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also offer parenting assistance to parents struggling with their children's behaviors. I believe the whole family benefits from progress in therapy.

Do you ever feel like time is moving so fast? And you don't even know who you are anymore or what you want. Yosheika's mission is to provide you with a space where you can pause, reflect, and process the experiences that life brings, whether it's the events of a day, a month, a year, or a lifetime. At Balanced Embodiment, you can simply be yourself, and find the serenity you seek. Yosheika specializes in person-centered care that allows for your therapy to be individualized.

I have a broad range of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, grief and loss and navigating life transitions. Recognizing the courage and vulnerability it takes to enter into a therapeutic relationship, I make every effort to create a comfortable, safe space that makes each individual feel genuinely seen, heard and understood. I practice from a place of openness and curiosity. That means I don’t make assumptions and I don’t have one set, structured approach. With solution-focused techniques and a person-centered philosophy, I empower clients to overcome challenges using their own unique strengths.

As individuals, we all have a happy, healthy baseline where we find ourselves truly thriving in life. When we are struggling, we oftentimes begin to live our lives in extremes. We might begin to see these extremes manifest in working too much, maybe drinking more than we usually do, or noticing that our emotions seem out of our control and difficult to manage. When we live in these extremes we can find other aspects of our lives beginning to suffer. It may seem impossible to identify where to being in fixing our problems.

At each stage, we face different challenges that can be tough to move throughout. I specialize in treating adults during transitions and adjustments through life. Being an adolescent is tough, but what about that decade or a few after? Emerging adults at the crossroads of life, love, and career. Women transforming into mothers, that perinatal and postpartum rollercoaster right into parenting. A difficult health diagnosis where you have to explore what your new life is. At all these crossroads, we can get anxiety and depression, or feel paralyzed with fear or loss, and at anytime, any of these feelings can bubble up and over.

I believe in establishing a non-judgmental therapeutic partnership with clients to assist in overcoming life's difficulties. I am dedicated to helping clients understand the issues that are affecting their well-being and developing a plan to positively address these issues.

I specialize in men's issues, relationship issues, and couples therapy. "Men's issues" refers to numerous factors that contribute to men's dissatisfaction with life (e.g., work stress and few friends), as well as the consequences (e.g., behaviors that can become excessive and problematic -- substance use, workouts, sex, etc.). I offer a safe environment where you can address difficult issues. I am casual and down-to-earth. My approach is pragmatic and client-centered.

It can be overwhelming to search for a psychologist, especially when you are already in distress. A comfortable fit between you and your therapist is by far the most essential ingredient in your healing process. I encourage people to be very thoughtful about selecting someone to work with, and to speak with several people if it doesn't feel right from the beginning. I welcome the opportunity to talk with potential clients about their needs, and view our initial conversation as an important first step toward healing.

My ideal client is an individual adult, or someone in a relationship having problems they want to resolve. I don't choose my clients, they choose me. With over 40 years of experience as a licensed independent psychologist, I continue to love what I do just as much or more than when I began my career. I am not just a "how does that make you feel" kind of therapist. I will challenge, confront and engage when necessary when I feel doing so will get you to where you said you wanted to go when you came for help.

Emotionally intense personalities, deep thinkers, and busy minds with sensitive hearts are welcome here. You're probably tired of people telling you that you're "too much": too needy, too talkative, too picky, too clingy, or (gulp!) too sensitive! Meanwhile, you're almost constantly feeling not good enough inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of finding the love, the career, the friends, the life you've aimed for. You've possibly wondered if you have chronic depression, anxiety, or adult ADHD. Anxiety, aloneness, existential angst, indecisiveness, and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

Our professional relationship needs to be a collaborative and connecting experience. Your input and feedback are essential ingredients in getting where you want to go while my job is to understand your goals and needs and observe which methods might work best for you. I am a seasoned, ethical psychologist with 30 years of experience. My clients vary from young adults to elders. Some seek life coaching or a consultation for a specific problem while others are in distress and want major changes. In general my clients describe me as warm and encouraging, with an ability to see patterns, clarify situations and identify alternatives.

My practice partners with clients who are looking for something different than the "more of the same" approach. There is no " how does that make you feel", instead I use a proactive collaborative partnership with you to make quick and effective change. I work with individuals, children, couples and families & a wide variety of challenges. My goal is to work with my clients to rapidly achieve their goals and have them "fire me" as soon as possible!

Parenthood not going how you thought it would? Maybe you’ve “just relaxed” for over a year now and you’re still not pregnant. Or perhaps your journey has been halted by an unexpected loss. Everyone is pregnant around you and you’ve just been invited to another baby shower. Entering parenthood rarely goes as planned. We are fed this narrative that we will get pregnant, have the delivery of our choosing and instantly bond with our baby. We answer endless questions about our infant’s sleep habits and post our monthly baby pictures. In reality, we haven’t brushed our teeth in three days and want to rage every time our partner speaks.
