Bisexual Therapists in Athens, GA

Finding the right therapist is a way to practice self advocacy! I value you considering me to meet your needs! I focus on LGBTQIA2S+ populations and those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, cultural traumas, grief, and/or substance (mis)use. I use various therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, feminist approaches, and narrative therapies. I value authenticity, autonomy, and vulnerability. I have been in clinical practice since 2020. I believe most humans need counseling, because setting aside time for ourselves in our culture is vital to our bodily and emotional wellness.

You are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're going through your day with the constant fear of not being a good enough mom, partner, employee. You feel lost and overwhelmed as you fight to present yourself as someone who has it "all together." Your friends and family don't know how alone you feel because you don't want to be a burden to them. The ghosts of your past torment you, reminding you constantly that if you had been good enough to begin with then you wouldn't have been hurt so badly. It's all your fault, your mind is racing, and you don't know how to make it stop.

Welcome! Perhaps you landed on this page in hopes of exploring your sexuality, or you'd like help resolving difficulties in your relationships, or you want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. My approach is process-oriented - I love discovering the intricacies of each individual, while also incorporating life skills to support growth and healing. In my experience, therapy is most effective (and most rewarding!) when both the therapist & the client are committed to the therapeutic process - I find that the clients who are actively engaged in sessions tend to have the greatest successes.

Welcome! We are a collaborative of mental health practitioners who specialize in working with the interconnected impact of Trauma in a person’s life, and supporting them to heal. Most of our clients are navigating symptoms of PTSD/C-PTSD (including military sexual trauma, moral injury, combat and Veteran trauma), depression, anxiety, gender, sexuality, substance use, or the Schizophrenia spectrum. We also work with perinatal mental health, including the complexities and trauma that can occur for individuals/families navigating pregnancy and fertility. We work with a wide range of mental health crises, mood, and behavioral symptoms.

*I OFFER EMDR INTENSIVES + WEEKLY SESSIONS* I wonder if you have sought feelings of fulfillment and security through pursuing external goals. If this hasn’t worked, maybe you strive to stay up and out of your pain with distraction or numbing - feeling unsafe in your body or the present moment. Perhaps you work to stay away from the parts of yourself you have learned are ‘bad’ and avoid feelings and memories that are scary and painful. Maybe you strive to feel ok by doing what you’ve learned you’re supposed to do, but rarely what you truly desire. This is not your failure! You’ve done what you needed to survive.

Finding the right therapist is a way to practice self advocacy! I value you considering me to meet your needs! Clients often come to me to work on difficult events, such as workplace or school stress, traumatic experiences, cultural traumas, coming out, transitioning, struggling with substance misuse, or even the things that the world labels as positive, such as a new job, marriage, or graduations. I value authenticity, autonomy, and vulnerability. I'm here to validate your experiences and help you to move toward a healthier life with more contentment!

Hi I’m Dr. Adrian Kunemund. I graduated and trained in programs accredited by the American Psychological Association. I'm committed to helping people connect with themselves, navigate challenges & create change. Our work together is rooted in a collaborative, transparent, & genuine relationship. You get to know me and I get to know you. We build trust and a connection that allows us to uncover the reasons for your stress and what to do about it. In this uncovering, we can explore a deeper self where self-love, empowerment, and true change occurs. Send me a message & together we can navigate next steps.

You deserve to experience your life in the most authentic way possible. In challenging times, what once worked may fail us, and we may need a little help finding our way. To assist clients achieve their goals, I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic practices to help improve client mental health, wellness, and overall quality of life.

We all have a story and a journey filled with highs and lows. Our paths often lead us to challenge ourselves in ways we never imagined. One thought can turn into ruminating doubt, negative self-talk, or trigger past trauma. It is during those times when we deserve a safe space to unpack before continuing on our life's calling. Accept our invitation to heal in the convenience of your own home. We created a virtual healing space for women to grow and heal courageously. Do not allow emotional and subconscious barriers to interfere with living a fulfilling life.

Listen. Learn. Liberate. I believe in having vulnerable, courageous conversations; I care deeply about social justice, spirituality, and whole-health healing. I help my clients to learn more about the origin of certain limiting beliefs about themselves and the world, and how these beliefs inform their current actions and relationships. I am most passionate about relationships (including our relationship with ourselves), and I proudly served many underserved communities, including black and brown communities, the LGBTQ+ population, and the Muslim population. También hablo español! I am not providing in-person sessions at this time.

As a queer, transmasculine therapist, I specialize in providing a safe and accepting space for the LGBTQ+ community. I offer confidential online sessions. I am licensed in Washington, Oregon, Georgia, and Florida and offer individual telehealth therapy for adults seeking support for coming out, transitioning socially and/or physically, and managing mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate and understanding of the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to making the world a safer place for the LGBTQ+ community through providing advocacy and support to all of my clients."

Right about now, you might be wondering, how did I get here? Will it ever get any better? Who am I kidding? Maybe you've recently been through a breakup or breakdown that's left you feeling shaken. Maybe things have been difficult for a long time and you're beyond ready for a breakthrough, wondering if maybe I can help. If you are seeking a warm, down to earth, feminist minded therapist who’s good at what she does, you may find me to be a good fit. I've helped myself, I've helped countless others, and I can help you, too.

The choice to seek out additional help in ones life is not an easy decision so we commend you on wanting to improve some aspect of your life through the counseling process. Life can present many complicated moments, such as conflict with a partner, the onset of depression, or a sudden life shift. We exclusively provide virtual mental health counseling services to individuals throughout the state of Georgia and Florida and will work together to create an individualized plan of action based upon your personal history, current support systems, & available resources.

Now accepting new clients. With a passion for helping clients achieve authentic growth and wellness, and over 30 years of experience in human services, my approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, compassion, and collaboration. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, gender, sexuality, grief and loss, parenting, and transitions in life; with an approach that is sex positive, gender affirming, neuro-inclusive, and holistic.

Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in.

I am currently accepting new clients ready for change! For folks who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or those with sexual health concerns, finding support can feel particularly challenging. I use an intersectional feminist approach that focuses on strengths and making small, measurable goals for incremental change. Clients willing to read, journal, or listen to podcasts for additional support outside of sessions are also likely to be a good fit. Even if you're not ready for therapy just yet, please check out the resources listed on my website: katyjanousek.com. Emailing me or having a 15 minute video consultation is always free!
