Addiction Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Have you found that doing “just” talk therapy isn’t working well for you? Do you find that your life experiences are getting in the way of you enjoying your life and meeting your life goals? I know that the mind and the body are connected and people get well when we look at the whole person, not just their thoughts and feelings. I use mind/body/spirit work to help people find their balance in life. I enjoy using talk therapy, CBT, Brainspotting, Tapping and other therapies that integrate over-all physical health with mental health. I offer a free fifteen minute consult so you and I can chat and see if I am a good fit for you.

You are trying to escape the control of a fundamentalist faith community/lifestyle, that holds great personal meaning to you; but you’re conflicted about leaving the dogmatic, authoritarian belief system in which you find yourself. You want to make sense of the damage that has been done by indoctrination. Or perhaps you experienced chronic abuse in a harmful religion and are trying to sever your connection to the faith, but you have no idea how to go about it? Have you experienced confusion, inability to think critically and have negative beliefs about yourself? You may be experiencing Religious Trauma Syndrome.

Hello! I'm Alec Ramsey, a licensed marriage and family therapist with seven years of clinical experience. I specialize in treating addiction , ADHD, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, and grief. I use a blend of EMDR, Attachment-based, Dialectical (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) modalities. When working with couples, I use the emotionally focused therapy framework to help partners communicate deeper and more effectively. My goal is to support you in overcoming what may feel unmanageable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable.

I work alongside people that are seeking guidance and understanding on managing anxiety, depressed moods, negative thoughts, uncertainty, alcohol & drug use, or any other uncomfortable state of mind. Some people are interested in exploring their past and identifying how it affects them in their current life, others just want an objective person to speak to and process their thoughts with. There's no one specific reason for seeking out a therapist/counselor and nothing has to be "wrong" in order to do so. You and I together will help you service your mental/emotional health needs.

Over the past 12 years, I have worked as a therapist in a wide variety of settings, with a passion to maximize my understanding of the human mind. I believe that most people have the ability to achieve at an exponentially higher level than they realize. Unfortunately, many cannot conceptualize this potential and, in turn, end up settling in their lives. What can be even more discouraging, is when a person knows they are capable of achieving at a higher level, but lacks the direction, motivation, or insight on how to get there.

If you are looking for someone to help you make a change in your life, I applaud you for taking the first step! Reaching out to someone else can be difficult, but having someone to listen, to help you clarify your thoughts, and to hold you accountable can be the key to making satisfying changes in your life. I’m offering to be that person for you. Whether you are facing life challenges, struggling with self-defeating habits, or trying to overcome issues from your past, I’m ready to be your ally. Therapy can be the catalyst for discovering your strengths and building on them to create a more fulfilling life.

Sometimes you may not know where to begin-or if to begin-an intervention process with your loved one. During an hour-long session, I can listen to your story and offer advice and feedback about how to approach your loved one and start the conversation about getting help. I also offer consultation to those suffering from addiction . We will talk about your fears about treatment, any co-occurring conditions that contribute to your substance use, and how to take control of your own recovery process.

For people who have faced extraordinary difficulties, navigating the ups and and downs of everyday life can be a challenge. As a therapist who specializes in working with people dealing with addiction or anxiety or those who suffered a personal trauma, my goal is to help men, women, and teens who struggle with those issues learn the skills to not just get by, but to grow and thrive.

There is a brighter day on the journey to recovery. This is the mantra that drives my practice. Are you ready to release yourself from the past and embrace a brighter future? If so, let us work together to address barriers of low self-esteem, addiction and lack of motivation.

Connection & Sense of Belonging: We all want to be accepted and know we matter. Challenging life experiences disrupt these connections and leave you feeling isolated and alone. My first priority is creating a meaningful relationship through respect and non-judgement by listen to your story and what brings you to seek support and guidance. People I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, and often have negative core beliefs from past experiences that inform present decisions and actions. I help people find relief and re-define beliefs in a more positive direction.
