Anxiety Therapists in Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled? Do you experience looping thoughts of self-doubt or despair? Do you feel like nothing you do could ever be enough? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you feel stuck in the past or worried about the future? No matter where you are, I will meet you there and provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for processing. Through our work together, I hope to help you foster more peace, purpose, joy, and balance in your life. Being human is hard and you do not need to face life alone. I am here for you.

Life has been hell since your baby was born. You’re honored to be a mother, a parent, but resent all that is required from you. The only fun you get is vibbin’ to Gracie’s Corner. You get anxious just sitting down and thinking about all that you have to do. Your needs and wants aren't a thing, it’s all about the baby. Having balance sounds cute, but how? Your partner tries to help but all the responsibility seems to fall on you. Having a tribe sounds nice yet seems out of reach. Your resentment is just growing more and more. You're drowning and no one sees you. Tired is not even the word...

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Over it??? I get it...This is a very stressful time. A new normal has set in and this can leave us feeling out of control, anxious, unmotivated, down or worried. All of this uncertainty can be really tough to navigate. However, "different" does not have to mean misery and "uncertainty" does not have to mean despair. I am here for you...Together we can work on the way toward peace over panic and faith over fear.

Hi! My name is Shelley Elliott, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, providing Individual Therapy to women and young adults who are seeking to improve or grow in their emotional development at any age or stage of life. I have over 15 years of experience in community and medical settings, focusing on helping individuals learn to process their thoughts and feelings in a healthy, productive manner.

Aiming to thrive and not solely survive? Despite our adverse experiences or current circumstances, we can find ourselves wanting to find more meaning in life. We help our clients slow down to closely examine the obstacles that are interfering with their ability to live the life they envision. Our approach to counseling is to learn to love yourself as you are while working on your areas of growth. We are all worthy of self-love and self-compassion, but all too often this is absent in our lives. Our hope is that through this process you find your true self and are courageous enough to embrace and live out your most authentic life!

Thank you for taking a moment to visit my website. I am passionate about supporting my clients on their journey toward personal and professional growth. My primary objective as a clinician is to help them raise their awareness regarding thoughts and behaviors that impede their growth and then to join with them in creating clear pathways toward change. While nothing is more important to me than establishing a warm relationship within a nurturing environment where clients feel comfortable telling the truth and taking risks, I place equal importance on compassionately challenging them to take as much ownership as possible.

I work with eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia, binge-eating disorder and offer a warm and supportive way of understanding recovery. Therapy is a process and I am here to help in identifying triggers, managing the symptoms and overcoming difficulties. Together, we can think about you and help you understand your feelings, navigate through and overcome your symptoms, guiding you to living a more satisfying life.

Are you haunted by your past? Experiencing feelings of anxiety, too many sleepless nights, or torturing yourself with guilt? Stop suffering in silence. It's time to heal! I am Vaya Fraley, aka "The Well-Abled Therapist", Co-founder of I.M. Legacy Counseling & Consultation Services, and Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor (LISW-S) in Ohio and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia. I specialize in serving Black women with visible disabilities/chronic illness who struggle with emotional trauma, depression, and anxiety.

My name is Richard Soper and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been in practice for 7 years helping patients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and coping with diabetes. I believe that by acknowledging and nurturing our talents and positive attributes we can outgrow any problem. I use a variety of Strengths-Based Techniques and Cognitive Therapies (CBT, CT-R).

I am a professional licensed counselor with over 8 years experience in the state of Georgia as a mental health therapist. I have worked in many areas of mental health with individuals who experience/experienced anxiety/panic attacks, OCD, depression, trauma, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, physical/sexual abuse, parenting issues, relationship problems, various addictions (drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc.), self-harming behaviors, suicide attempts/ideations, oppositional defiance disorder, etc.

I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, women's issues, depression, relationship issues, difficulties adjusting to major life transitions, cultural and/ or sexual identity development, and mother/ daughter relationships. I use an integrative approach, working from interpersonal and psychodynamic theories while utilizing a range of techniques including interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, family systems, and multicultural modalities. I tailor my approach to best fit with each client's personality, presenting issue, and time frame.

Welcome, my name is Yvette and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I’ve spent the past 15 years in a variety of clinical setting including county jails, superior courts, psychiatric hospital, pediatric hospitals, and community agencies helping people to identify sources of their distress and develop solutions to complex problems. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, family dysfunction, intimacy, codependency, and addiction are the focus of my practice with adults, teens, and families, though I have also provided crisis intervention and psychotherapy as well.

The process of starting or reentering counseling can be overwhelming but a brave step towards improving your wellness. I honor that step by committing myself to show up for you where you are, sit with you in whatever emotion arises, and offer you a safe and relaxed environment to discuss your concerns. As your therapist, I will work with you to collaboratively create a road map to greater health using our alliance and therapeutic tools along the way. We will work together to identify your goals, beliefs, and assets; process life stressors; and empower your life for greater wellness, however you define this.

The positive benefits of a therapeutic relationship include self-understanding and self-acceptance, emotional balance, resolution of past hurts, freedom from guilt and shame, empathy, healthy dependency, contentment, a sense of wholeness, and empowerment to give and receive love deeply. I have the training and experience to help people achieve these benefits and in the process overcome roadblocks like depression or anxiety​, negative self-talk, grief and loss, destructive relationship patterns, marital distress, sexual struggles, and various types of trauma.

New GROUPS for Women in Mid-Life and those with Chronic Health/Disability concerns! (See Groups Section) I am a Champion of the Human Spirit. How is your spirit? Are you feeling unsatisfied, overwhelmed, weary, confused, anxious, depressed? Maybe it seems like you "have everything" and aren't sure why you don't feel content. Therapy looks a lot like a conversation with a good friend. But the gift is that it's a one-way friendship where it's all about you! You get to talk about whatever you want and I get to listen carefully, affirm and encourage your strengths, and ask questions to help you think more deeply about your concerns.

I think of therapy as a way of freeing ourselves from the obstacles which prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Frequently these obstacles present themselves to us in the challenges such as problems at work, difficult relationships, adapting to life changes, or in the sudden impact of a traumatic event. Sometimes what stands in the way of our freedom and happiness lies within us, as negative thought patterns, conflicting or confusing emotions, and unexpressed feelings--all of which can result in depression, anxiety, chronic illness, low self esteem--burdens we often carry alone.

I have a very warm approach to my patients and believe it is very important to have a good "match" between therapist and patient. I specialize in treating Anxiety disorders as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and OC spectrum disorders including Trichitillomania, Excoriation Disorder, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

Therapeutically, my goal is to create a warm, kind and safe environment where my clients can achieve growth and balance. I endeavor to make the journey valuable and enjoyable, even when it's uncomfortable. I generally work with clients experiencing difficulties with transitions (school, career, etc), becoming a Mother/Parent and all the related, often unspoken changes that accompany this new role, relationship issues, issues of identity (ethnic, sexual), sexual abuse, obtaining & maintaining greater independence from parents or spouse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, social fears, addiction, diversity, divorce, parenting, communication skills, spirituality, growing as a therapist, health & fitness and self development.

If you are ready to establish life-changing habits to help cope with any of life’s various obstacles, your journey starts here! Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or a stressful change in your life, we strive to bring clarity and peace of mind. Our goal is to provide you with tools and skills to bring balance to any imbalanced areas in your life. We believe in order to treat a person effectively you need to consider their circumstances holistically.
