Elders (65+) Therapists in Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

Greetings, my name is Dr. Katherine Andrade and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 26 years of experience working in the areas of Health, Mental Health, and Substance Use. I have worked as a school, mental health, medical, and military social worker. I have a Master's degree in Social Work as well as a Doctorate in Social Work. I specialize in working with adults/ seniors with mental health and substance use challenges as well as family issues, stress, adjusting to medical challenges, and military/veteran issues.

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere (both in office and online with Video Counseling) I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs. I work to help them attain the personal growth they're striving for. I am a caring and compassionate professional and, provide counseling to adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice welcomes ALL people in an affirming environment. I work frequently with couples, helping them get unstuck from unhealthy behavior "patterns"; allowing them to find their way back to each other. **VIDEO COUNSELING AVAILABLE.**

I am an LCSW specializing in individual, couple's and family therapy. My approach is eclectic, incorporating a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client. Therapy is a collaborative effort and I enjoy guiding clients to identify their own strengths and inner resources. I believe in giving clients the tools and support they need to move ahead on their own, knowing support is available when they need it from me. I have new patient appointment availability to see older adolescents and adults of all ages. I welcome all individuals regardless of sex, religion, sexual preference, or race.

After completing my undergraduate studies at Mercer University, I embraced the life of an entrepreneur. This journey brought many valuable insights that enhanced my understanding of human lived experiences. To a greater extent, this period heightened my ability to effectively connect and empathize with people of all walks of life. Over time I have adopted techniques from many disciplines within the field of psychotherapy. DBT, CBT and Solution Focused Therapy are those I most frequently employ. They offer much needed practical tools for patients in moments of acute crisis and provide the critical avenues to hope and motivation.

Feeling so checked out in the relationship. Drowning in conflict. Detaching from your spouse. Feeling scared, lonely, and overwhelmed. Can your relationship ever be fixed? It’s just not working. What you want is clear and sounds so simple: you crave connection and intimacy. You want to feel loved, understood, and cherished. If family drama is also part of the picture, it can be particularly hard to know what to do to create peace. How can you possibly connect when your family “talks” turn into taking things personally, getting defensive, or just checking out entirely? You just want peace and connection.

I am a clinical social worker and core candidate at the Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute. I am passionate about helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives, and helping them identify ways that conscious and unconscious traits and habits impact functioning and relationships. By exploring how you relate to yourself and to the world around you, you can build a life that is informed by past experience, not trapped by it. I primarily use a psychodynamic approach. In addition, I am a trained meditation teacher and integrate mindfulness and other meditation techniques where appropriate. My trauma work is integrative.

Are you ready for change in your life? Do you want deeper and more fulfilling connection with yourself and others? Healing is possible. Many of us feel stuck in certain aspects of our lives. Maybe our relationships, career, or our family is not what we had envisioned for ourselves. I believe that through understanding and awareness, we can move towards becoming our true selves and experience life more deeply. We can learn to connect more fully with others and transform our lives.

It is human to get lost and feel isolated at times, but from an evolutionary perspective, humans weren't built to heal in isolation. Stress, grief, and life transitions are all normal, but how we navigate them can determine whether anxiety, depression, or isolation follow. My nonjudgmental, research-informed approach supports clients in healing through diligent practice, secure connection, mutual respect, and clear-eyed self-reflection. Clients are safe to explore their full selfhood, to view challenge as a normal part of growth, to learn concrete tools for comfort and safety, and to grow secure and joyous in their authentic selves.

Are you struggling in an unhealthy pattern of behaviors? Do you feel handicapped by depression or anxiety? Do you feel like you struggle to be your best self? Have you felt reactive in your relationships? I would love to help you gain more insight and awareness of your ability to manage these situations in a healthy way. My job is creating a safe environment for you to feel comfortable to do this important work. My clients find me to be patient, mindful and confidential about the issues we discuss in the office.

Hello! Since 2008 in Atlanta, I have served a broad diversity of people across the lifespan, accompanying them to support and empower development and well-being. With a humanistic, existential and psychodynamic approach, I offer psychotherapy to adult individuals seeking counseling for doing deep psychological work. Though the process is mysterious in ways and shapes up differently for each of us, I enjoy joining and supporting my clients in their process of exploration inward, discovery, reclaiming, and application of what is found to live in a useful, meaningful way.

I work with both men and women from late adolescence through adulthood, providing counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples. Some counselees are struggling with clinical disorders, some with difficult circumstances, some with life transitions, and some are looking for a way to examine, to grow, and to deepen their experience. My goal is to assist each person in finding and walking their own particular path in a way that will lead them to health, growth and wholeness.

Are you hesitant to start therapy, or have you had bad therapy experiences in the past? Then I'd love to work with you! I know that it takes a significant amount of courage to seek help because I've been a therapy client myself. I aim to help you feel heard, seen, and hopeful, starting with our very first session. Here's my commitment to you: I will work with you to identify your goals and discover how we can get there together, by providing gentle yet direct feedback and a judgment-free space to explore your reality - the good, bad, & everything in between. Your session is your time, so let's make it work for you!

I view therapy as an essential tool to help prioritize, care for, and learn about ourselves. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families facing a range of challenges including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, identity development, family conflict, and chronic illness. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my primary goal as a clinician is to create a space that facilitates free expression, highlights your natural abilities, and strengthens self-awareness and self-compassion.

I consider it a privilege to come alongside my clients and hear they’re unique journeys. I believe the past can intrude on the present and therefore affect your future. Are you telling yourself lies that originate in past traumas? Are you constantly scanning to see how other people feel but don’t know your own feelings? What would happen if the part of you that resists counseling stepped aside and change became possible?

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families on a range of problems including: difficult relational issues (family, romantic, social, professional), difficult life-transitions, premarital counseling, co-parenting, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, grief and loss, trauma, self-harm, disempowered women, and gender/sexuality identity - LGBTQ issues. I believe in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully.

I teach people how to trust their feelings & validate their emotions. I don’t teach them how to fix anything nor how to feel. They always do that on their own and in due time after BEing heard, seen, and understood. I remind people that their personal struggles will continue until they choose healing & let go. I inform people that their thinking has gotten them where they currently are so it’s NOT gonna take more of that. They’re gonna hafta feel their way to personal freedom!

Have you found yourself struggling with overwhelming Depression, and because you identify as LGBTQ+ it seems hard to find a therapist who you can relate to and actually feel comfortable talking to? Individuals tend to seek therapy for depression when they have exhausted their resources and ability to cope. Whether you’re struggling in your relationships, feeling stressed about family life, experiencing mood swings and intrusive thoughts or feeling like giving up. Consider booking a therapy session today. You will learn the skills needed to overcome the feelings of depression and return to your original peace of mind.

I welcome those taking the step to seek therapy. The therapeutic experience is a unique and powerful one. Life can bring unexpected challenges during uncertain times. What we have control over is how we handle experiences and regulate our feelings/emotions/thoughts. A shift in perspective and new insight can be life changing. We do not live in a vaccum and problems, ( not excluded to) such as family of origin conflict, anxiety and depression may have always been present or come up later in life. I aim to aid you in facing discomfort, resolving the past, accepting the present and growing into the future with clarity and well being.
