Hi! I am Dr. Malissa Collins, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, families, and couples. My Ph.D. is in Marriage and Family Therapy. My approach is warm and compassionate. My focus is to meet clients where they are and teach them ways to successfully navigate through life to meet goals. My clients appreciate my warmth, nonjudgmental style. It helps to make them feel relaxed and confident.

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.

You're probably stressed and overwhelmed with relationships, work, school, family dynamics....life in general. It's hard to find the right harmony when you're juggling so many things. That's where I come in: to walk with you through life's ups and downs & help you live in alignment with your values. You'll learn new ways to communicate, manage emotions, & connect so you can experience more joy in life. You'll better understand yourself and your relationships so you can show up for yourself and the important people in your life. It's hard work to dive into knowing yourself better, but the work pays off with more joy & peace in life!

I believe that people have within them what it takes to heal and to manage themselves. Sometimes we need some help unlocking our abilities and strengths to do so. Brene Brown wrote, “The power of self-compassion is the power to heal and transform.” I am here to help you have more grace and compassion for yourself. I create a comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere where you can be vulnerable enough to really see and heal yourself; to make lasting changes.

"When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending." -Brene Brown. Believing these words, I do my best to create a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space for adult individuals, couples and families to own and process their stories, while finding meaning, healing and growth. We are dynamic people, capable of change and restoration, and it is an honor to facilitate and walk with a person through this process. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, marital concerns, trauma, anger management, international adjustments and transitions, and infertility.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist whose goal is to collaborate with you and your family to improve your loved one's mental health. I provide therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults. I also offer family therapy regarding child-related issues. My approach to therapy uses a combination of cognitive-behavior therapy, interpersonal and attachment strategies. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to my patients so that a strong therapeutic relationship is developed which is essential for a positive outcome.

Because children do not come with a handbook, parents are often wondering if they are parenting correctly. Sometimes your house and your relationships can feel strained due to the challenges of parenting. Parents can feel as if the child is in charge of the emotional barometer of the house. Most parents at some point experience feelings of being overwhelmed and not knowing how to be effective and supportive at the same time. Therapy is a way of taking those first steps toward making positive changes for yourself and your family. By making small changes, you will be able to enjoy a more fulfilling parenting experience.

I have over 14 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and I teach the practice and research of marriage and family therapy at a local university as an associate professor. I firmly believe that you are doing the best you can and your struggles do not define who you are, and my focus is on helping you pinpoint what is keeping you from having satisfying relationships and achieving your full potential. In close consultation with you, I aim to help you devise strategies to improve your life quality and satisfaction.

My name is Julianna. I’m new to the field, but I’ve had a passion for it since I was 12. I have worked with all ages along with their families, but I’m most effective and extremely enjoy working with individuals ranging from ages 6 to 21. I mostly enjoy working with individuals with a history of suicidal ideations, non-suicidal self-injury, low self-esteem, low motivation, and school avoidance. I find joy from helping individuals come into loving their authentic selves and understanding they deserve life. I also specialize in emotional regulation, distress tolerance and behavior modification for ages 6-9.

I enjoy working with many types of people and the challenges they are having. The areas of grief and trauma, including the secondary effects, such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship/trust issues,self-medicating and stagnation are my specialties. I use an eclectic approach to working with my clients, meaning that I like to employ many different styles of counseling into sessions. I approach issues honestly, openly and directly. I have been described as warm, genuine, easy to talk to and dedicated. I view every client in a holistic way. Rather than asking "what's wrong with you?" I ask "what have you been through?"

I work well with the client who genuinely wants to seek out counseling in order to find answers, solutions, or different perspectives to their struggles. Client success comes from being vulnerable, admitting and recognizing flaws, a desire to improve and become better, and an openness to being challenged. People come to counseling for a myriad or reasons including grief, unhappiness with life circumstances, feeling lost, lack of motivation, lack of purpose, and any other major life event causing turmoil. Through a trusted and trained adult in the therapeutic journey, clients will discover the neglected areas of their lives.

I have extensive experience working with a broad array of clinical issues and enjoy working with all different kinds of people. My approach to treatment is holistic, in that I draw on the intimate connection between mind and body to foster emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. My approach to therapy is collaborative, as I guide individuals through a process of self-awareness, healing, and change so that their goals become realities. I respect and honor each client's ethnicity, religion and cultural background, and strive to be authentic and honest while providing a safe and compassionate environment for change.

A mantra that resonates with me both personally and professionally is, “Do a brave thing every day.” I love working with clients who are motivated to self-discover and grow.

I also specialize in helping clients overcome tics, skin-picking, and trichotillomania. I use a flexible approach to individually tailor evidence-based tools and treatments to each client based on values, culture, and client needs.
