Female Therapists in Athens, GA

Hello and welcome. My areas of focus are women and children. If you are a parent, you may be concerned about your child experiencing worry, anxiety, fears, or friendship troubles. As a woman you may be concerned about family issues, career, marriage, life transitions, retirement, relationship changes, grief and loss. I will call on your wisdom to collaborate in helping you and/or your child with problems that arise.

Are you a woman feeling dissatisfied with your life and open to exploring how your thoughts and feelings drive behavior? Do you wish you had the skills needed for increased mindfulness and better stress tolerance or emotional regulation? Are you experiencing a significant life transition—such as college or entry to adulthood or a change in relationship or career status or health—and need help making meaning of your experience or changing internalized narratives that aren’t working for you?

With 30 years experience in counseling, I have dealt with a wide range of problems and situations and continue to love the challenge! With respect and gentle guidance I will walk you through your process. I see individuals and families of all ages and gender. I am comfortable with severe mental illness as well as situational depression and anxiety.

Are you a mother in the trenches of parenting and providing care for others? Do you feel overwhelmed with the many different roles within your life? Becoming a parent can be one of the most satisfying and challenging experiences of life. It is estimated that after the birth of a baby, one in seven mothers and one in ten fathers will experience a Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder. I have particular interest and training in Perinatal Mental Health and maternal mental health. Supporting mothers as they navigate the many stages of motherhood brings me great joy. Sometimes talking with someone about your stressors and concerns can help

Hi I’m Dr. Adrian Kunemund. I graduated and trained in programs accredited by the American Psychological Association. I'm committed to helping folks 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 share openly and uncover what is behind the pain, discomfort, or stress you feel. 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.

My Name is Myra and I am so happy to be back at home serving the community where I grew up. This has always been my dream. My ideal client is any man or woman who grew up like I did, in addiction, abuse, and with low self-esteem. I believe that it's our secrets that keeps us sick and I am simply here to help you heal and to love and accept yourself JUST AS YOU ARE because YOU ARE ENOUGH!

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 offer woman centered LGBTQ+ affirming therapy to clients at my private practice in Athens, Georgia, helping people just like you feel better every day.

As you navigate the journey of life, you may come to a place where you feel stuck or wonder how to proceed through a difficult transition. Perhaps you are grieving a loss or burdened by the lingering effects of a traumatic experience. You may be feeling confused, exhausted, alone, and disconnected. During this time, you may be looking for support, connection, and help constructing a roadmap forward. I am here to help. I specialize in working with women who are experiencing anxiety with a special interest in serving survivors of childhood abuse/neglect and sexual violence.

Hey! I'm Stephanie Henderson, LPC. Let's talk about what brought you here. Things might be seeming rough right now. Maybe you are going through a lot of life changes at once. It might be accompanied with other challenges like emotional imbalance, grief and/or loss, pregnancy, birth or some other stuff that makes it hard to see the brighter days. Or maybe you experience a traumatic incident that's causing your world to feel unsafe, can't sleep and/or have a lot of anxiety. You're having problems in the workplace, with family or in a relationship? I'd like to work with you to help find skills to make things feel more manageable.

Let's stop shrinking because others are uncomfortable. I specialize in LGBTGEQ+ & women 's mental health and provide affirming counseling for all genders, all sexualities, and all relational models. As a result of being members of minority and stigmatized groups, many of us experience anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and/or trauma. Affirming counseling for women , gender diverse, queer, and/or non-monogamous people is especially important because there are unique challenges for our communities in a cis- , hetero-, & mono- normative culture where we are pressured to betray ourselves in order to keep others comfortable.

I have had the opportunity in the last five years to work in addictions with co-occurring disorders. As a therapist, I have been blessed to support individuals in their journey to recovery and the life challenges they face. My approach compassionate, non-judgemental, and my focus is person centered and holistic to support your Best Life yet.

After receiving invaluable warmth & empathy during my own experience of therapy I felt obliged to give back to others the same compassion. To assist clients struggling with issues from depression & anxiety to PTSD & Bipolar Disorder I combine an eclectic and collaborative approach rooted in attachment theory with the goal of shifting a client’s experience from survival to one of well-being. I use my training in EMDR therapy & certification as a TC-Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator to help clients process the difficult emotions that follow surviving traumatic experiences.

Reaching out in times of need is not always easy- this last year alone has led many of us through uncharted territories. Sometimes we are left in a place where it can be difficult to ask for what we need, especially if we aren’t sure what that may be. I can offer help by providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your needs. You are the expert on you. My role is to provide an outside perspective to help channel clearer insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Working together in this manner will allow you to build on the strengths and resiliency that are already within you.

I help my clients restore a sense of peace and joy when life or love feel chaotic. Many of my clients come in exhausted, having given all of themselves in love but coming up heartbroken or feeling alone with many unmet needs. I help identify patterns and work with you on new behaviors that bring greater satisfaction in romantic relationships. I see couples who are dealing with painful conflicts, emotional distance or disconnection, lack of emotional or physical intimacy, affairs and emotional betrayals or simply wanting to have deeper conversations about attachment styles, needs, and/or their vision for their ideal relationship.

Feelings of depression, fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, grief, trauma, and other struggles beset us all at times. I believe creating an environment where everyone can feel safe and heard is vital, and cultivating a therapeutic alliance to be alongside individuals as a nonjudgmental support in the journey to wholeness and independence. I listen for unique needs and preferences and utilize an eclectic and integrated approach to working with the whole person. With empathy and compassion I will also ask challenging questions to explore ideas, new ways of thinking and understanding, and guide intuitive discovery for meaningful change.

People come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and worn out. My goal is to provide compassionate support to my clients during painful transitions, help them gain clarity, develop coping tools, and improve communication skills. Couples come to me feeling disconnected and resentful. I help partners learn new, effective ways to communicate. I build on couples' strengths to help them find a fun, passionate, and intimate way of living. Parents come to me feeling heartbroken and confused by their interactions with their children. I help parents heal their own childhood wounds so that they can parent in a loving way.
