Couples Counseling Therapists in Vinings, Atlanta, GA

I am a psychotherapist and neurodevelopmental psychologist. I offer psychotherapy and evaluation services to adults, children and families. I also also perform comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Georgia and completed my clinical internship at Harvard Medical School. I was a staff psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital/ Harvard Medical School for two years following a two-year fellowship there. I was also an instructor at Harvard Medical School from 2015 to 2017. I have presented nationally on clinician issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

The decision to seek counseling is the first step to self care. I specialize in providing a safe, judgement free environment that allows individuals to approach any topic including intimacy and feeling overwhelmed by life's responsibilities. My mission is to help women transform their personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for growth.

Stuck? Let's figure out why. Overwhelmed? Let's work to move through the storm. Not feeling heard by your partner ? Let's find avenues to open up clear lines of communication. Frustrated in your relationship ? Let's identify the areas of opportunity that can re-ignite that spark. Always down? Let's dig past those triggers and discover a way for you to create a journey that inspires you. Anxious? Let's identify the culprit and establish tools that will lead to internal peace. My name is Mark and I would love to get that smile back in your life, that warmth back in your soul, & that peace back in your spirit.

My approach to counseling is to try and help you uncover unconscious ways of behaving that are interfering with healthy living. I also attempt to help you understand how your early relationships can affect your current way of relating with others. My goal is to assist you in making conscious, healthy, and life affirming choices and to do this within the safety of the therapeutic relationship .

Congratulations on taking the first step towards your healing journey! I am a fully licensed psychotherapist in the state of Georgia and am passionate about guiding and assisting you in overcoming and reaching your personal goals.

Are you troubled by self doubt, questioning your or your partner 's level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship ? Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying sex life. Is the conflict in your family extreme? Are you struggling to coparent effectively? You may be single and exasperated by the drama that sometimes comes along with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child or adolescent struggle educationally or in social relationships. If any of these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate your journey to contentment, confidence, and bliss.

I believe that therapy is all about unlocking the strength and potential that exists within each of us. As a counselor, my job is to motivate people to stand courageously in the truth of who they are. This principle guides the work I do with children, adults, couples , and families.

Working with a psychologist should be collaborative experience that is rewarding and beneficial for you. I believe in supporting my clients throughout successes and challenges, and love my work. Finding a therapist that is appropriate for you is important. I work with individuals of all ages throughout all phases of life, and find a supportive, empowering approach to be a crucial part of my work. You are in the driver seat of your therapy!

I am currently licensed in Georgia as well as Louisiana, with 15 years of professional counseling experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, & depression. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your story, and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I am a multicultural, compassionate and non-judgmental licensed professional counselor. My work includes a client-centered approach as I realize no two individuals are alike. I work with families, couples and individuals. I help clients take stock of what is working and what can benefit from additional attention. I encourage clients to avoid self-defeating beliefs and escape criticism, blame and complaints that distort their mental and emotional wellbeing. As a trained EMDR therapist, I utilize my skill to support clients in identifying and addressing childhood and adult traumatic experiences.

What does it mean to be a man, and more importantly how does that feel? Together we will unlearn the limiting beliefs that stem from our upbringing and societal narratives, and instead learn how to acknowledge, accept, and deal with the full spectrum of emotions we have. Do you feel you are not properly heard in your relationship by your partner ? Do the same troubles keep coming up within your relationship ? I assist couples dealing with conflicts within their relationship such as trust, communication, infidelity, and the effects of past traumas surfacing.

Have you lost the motivation to be intimate? Does constant thinking make it hard to love yourself, love your body, and allow pleasure into your life on a daily basis. Is your favorite line, "I'm always in my head"? Have you lost connection to pleasure so much that you can't even enjoy the intimacy of sex? ...it's okay, you're not alone. You've spent so much time being available and thinking for everyone else that you've lost sight of the most important person....you. What would life be like if you knew her again?

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialty in Sex Therapy. I work with adult individuals that want to feel more connected with their inner selves, understanding that they are responsible for their own desire. As a sex therapist I am familiar with various sexual issues that have a direct impact on the individual and their relationships. For couples therapy, I integrate different therapeutic modalities to help couples building bridges to sexual desire and having the sex life they want or that is “good enough” for them.

Feeling "stuck" in areas of your life: school, relationships, work, or family can leave you feeling hopeless and in despair. It may also create feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, loneliness and distress. We are all capable of improving the quality of our lives when we learn how to embrace challenges and overcome obstacles/self-doubts in order to create opportunities. I provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment in which my clients can explore the issues and challenges they face. Anthony approaches therapy with an understanding that problems don't get created in a vacuum.

I believe in establishing a collaborative approach with my clients to help support the therapeutic process. Using cognitive-behavioral techniques, I help my clients learn to identify and challenge their unhealthy thoughts and behaviors so they can develop fuller, more meaningful lives. I work with clients in managing their emotions, improve their ability to communicate with others, and build healthy and resilient self-concept. Utilizing a direct, interactive approach, with a touch of humor, I teach my clients coping skills so they can pull from their "toolbox" of skills in between sessions and eventually throughout their lives.
