Grief Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

Are you feeling stuck in your healing process? Do you often struggle to find the words to describe how you are feeling? Do you want to learn new ways to solve problems, manage stress, express emotions and improve self-esteem? As a Creative Arts Therapist, my goal is to help clients explore and look at their lives in a new or different way as they journey on the road to healing and wholeness. I love working with clients of all ages, abilities and challenges. Among other things, I specialize in bereavement , anxiety, OCD, and trauma.

The word “support” might call to mind images of braces, splints, tracks, or advice— all things that try to force a certain form. What I mean by “support” looks less like applied pressure and more like a gentle holding up so that another human soul may unfurl in their own time and take whatever shape would be in alignment with their natural way. Support means to protect, attend to, witness, and reflect back the worth in every process— and when appropriate, to collaborate and name their experience of psychic expansion through words or images.

I serve older teens and adults in individual, couples, and family counseling. By clearing emotional blocks and increasing self-awareness, clients become more resilient and equipped to find solutions to their life dilemmas. I describe myself as having a servant spirit and a nonjudgmental, strength-based approach in connecting with each unique person. It is my privilege and blessing to be a vessel for healing as I witness growth and transformation in those who seek healthy change for their lives.

Despite our best laid plans, life has a way of offering seasons of unexpected change. An important relationship has ended, and you're wondering how to move forward. Perhaps you're coping with a new diagnosis, growing your family, or retiring. Maybe you find yourself in the throes of grief after the death of a beloved person or pet. Regardless of what you're facing, life as you knew it has changed profoundly (and often without your permission!). You now feel a sense of uncertainty you just can't shake - you know "before" is gone, but you don't know what "after" holds just yet. You want relief, clarity, and to know you're not alone.

Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options. My role is to assist you in determining where you are in your relationship; what choices are available for you; which road you want to take. Let me be your guide towards which road to travel.

We uniquely approach marriage and relationship counseling with a couple-with-couple format in two hour sessions that provide a safe environment for both spouses.

I help couples, families, and individuals improve communication, resolve conflict, and build skills to handle anxiety, depression, grief , addiction, and more. Couples often find themselves struggling with communication and conflict resolution. I help repair and rebuild the connection between partners, teaching evidence based skills on how to state needs, set healthy boundaries, and bring harmony back into the relationship. I work virtually with Hope Harbor in Keller, TX and will continue working with Georgia clients in-office on Thursdays and Fridays, otherwise virtually through September 2022.

You don't know why, but you just don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel depressed, you can't focus, you are anxious or wanting to isolate yourself. You don't know when it started but something is not right and your life is not like it used to be. What would your life be like if you had a greater understanding and better tools for coping with and managing your emotions? What would your relationships be like if you had a deeper awareness of yourself and improved strategies for communicating with your loved ones?

I am passionate about equipping clients to live happier, healthier lives.

Finding hope, answers, and new meaning for your life can happen in a mutually trusting environment with an experienced therapist.

To the question of your life you are the answer; to the problems of your life you are the solution.

My name is Pamela Jules and I am professional counselor licensed in the state of Georgia with over 8 years experience. I have worked with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief , PTSD, trauma, and relationship challenges. My counseling style is motivational, compassionate, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and sensitivity. I also believe people are resilient and can heal from their past; therefore, I do not judge anyone. My approach combines CBT, humanistic psychology, trauma-focused therapy including EMDR, and Neurofeedback. I am here to empower and support you.

It's all about who we are. Ever felt like you no longer fully recognize yourself? Like you're still you, but not quite the same you? After a loss , a major change, or when discovering new aspects of ourselves, we may feel like we don't recognize ourselves anymore. Helping you find yourself again in unfamiliar circumstances, is what I am most passionate about. You are a superhero because being a superhero is not about being invulnerable it’s about being vulnerable, hurting, and STILL finding resilience. However, sometimes, even superheroes need a sidekick...

I believe that the stories of our lives are constantly evolving. We have the capacity to write our next chapter based on our strengths and our being in touch with who we are. Often we feel like we have lost the thread of our narrative that made life make sense and we need to process how to find the meaning again. If too many changes have overwhelmed your resources and you are feeling lost, we can work together to help you find your way again.

What if your priority today was to finally process your recent or upcoming loss ? Sometimes just the thought of exploring your loss is terrifying and you feel that you cannot discuss it with your family. You feel guilty and disloyal if you feel anything positive or have your own goals and needs. You can get through the day-to-day tasks, but the days overall feel meaningless. It feels impossible to find energy or motivation to work towards the goals you want to achieve or even to think towards the future. Perhaps you cope by staying constantly busy or distracting yourself, but it does not help in the long run.

Choosing to enter into therapy is a courageous decision that I deeply honor and respect. It says that you believe in your capacity for growth and healing. I am here to facilitate your healing experience by providing a safe, authentic, non-judgmental space for us to get to the heart of what is keeping you stuck in your life or relationships. I work integratively, blending various therapeutic modalities to support clients in addressing their unique needs. I am formally trained in psychodynamic therapy and use it as the foundation for the work we will do together.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, confused and alone. Have you been trying to handle it all on your own but feel like you've reached a breaking point? Are you feeling that you just keep going in circles? Do you feel like no one understands you? Emotional suffering can come from a significant loss , trauma, struggles with relationships, or chronic high stress. Sometimes we may feel confused about what is actually causing our distressing feelings. These struggles are common and resolvable. Seeking caring support is a difficult and courageous decision. Therapy can be challenging but incredibly rewarding.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My practice is primarily with adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions and compulsive behaviors, loss , self-esteem, divorce and remarriage, and step-family issues. In addition, I have over 4000 hours of experience leading groups for chemically dependent people.
