Family Therapy in Ansley Park, Atlanta, GA

Hey! I would like to commend you on taking the first steps to a better and healthier you. Life can throw curve balls, devastations, and traumas your way, and my goal is to support you as you navigate those hard times, in order to enjoy more good times! As a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, I empathize, educate, encourage and empower individuals, couples, and families to discover the root of their issues, to ensure healing takes place. My Bachelor's degree from Indiana University, my graduate training from Capella University, along with excellent clinical supervision, has prepared me to support clients with varying issues.

Hello my name is Dr. Arlene Garcia. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist. My experience includes offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and helping people work through various issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, family issues, grief and loss. I believe that we all have sources of resilience and I am passionate about helping people make change in their lives through realizing their strengths.

I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

As a therapist, I know that life can throw you unplanned curves, with trauma and other stressors seeming to come from nowhere. Regardless of your stage of life, my intention is to help you gain perspective and safely reach your goals. I use techniques designed to handle your today (CBT) and your past (psychodynamic) while building coping skills with you.

Kate Braestrup says it best: "I'm not here to keep you from freaking out. I'm here to be with you while you freak out, or grieve or laugh or suffer or sing. It is a ministry of presence. It is showing up with a loving heart." I truly believe that everyone could benefit from psychotherapy at some point in their lives -- we all need support. Taking the step towards seeking help of any kind can sometimes be difficult. I consider it a privilege to be chosen to walk out life's challenges with you.

All human beings have unhealthy relationships. Whether it’s feeling dependent on a partner or other people for happiness, using your relationship with drugs or alcohol to self medicate, struggling to navigate a codependent relationship with a parent or child who is unhealthy, or not trusting yourself and personal decision making. Relationships with both people and things and ourselves are very complicated. Together lets work on taking back control in your life and building emotional intelligence along the way.

When you’re hurting emotionally, talking to a professional is important for your mental health. I’m Matthew Reeves, an Atlanta-based psychotherapist and rehabilitation counselor. I strive to bring tangible, positive change to my clients’ lives. My highest objective is to truly “get” you, understanding your complexities and nuances. I offer grounded, goal-centered counseling based on your uniqueness and your capacity to grow and heal. Together, we will identify what changes you would like to make within yourself. Then, we’ll work to transform pain to strength, challenge to wisdom, isolation to connection, and turbulence to peace.

Relationships can be extra complicated for LGBTQ people. You may have grown up feeling family , friends, or community didn’t understand you, or maybe you experienced outright rejection. You probably didn’t get to date in high school, and most of us don’t grow up with mentors who can help us navigate the world of dating. Whether you’re having trouble making a relationship work or you’re in a long-term relationship that just doesn’t feel fulfilling, I can help you find or build a strong relationship.
