Adults Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I work with children, adolescents, adults , and families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With a specialty in working with adults with Asperger's Syndrome, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help my clients learn to cope with the symptoms of depression and anxiety that often accompany Asperger's. I also work with individuals of all ages seeking to increase their daily living skills. Additionally, I am available to work with parents who are struggling with their child's challenging behaviors.

There are so many things that make us who we are. So many titles we identify with each day: parent, professional, athlete, student, spouse & the list goes on. Regardless of the title, the reality is that we all struggle with different things. Do you desire a space to be seen, heard and to communicate your challenges without judgement? Do you find navigating the woes of life to be challenging & overwhelming? If so, I can only assume that you're ready for a change. You're ready to see something different. To respond differently. To think differently. You want to show up in the world in a new way & I'm here to help you do just that.

I have a passion for helping people and have used a range of modalities including Trauma Recovery, Solution Focus, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapist, Systematic Desensitization and Aversion Therapy. I believe therapy should fit the individual not the reverse. I have developed the skill to successfully assess the proper intervention to heal painful past and present experience. I’ve provided key concepts and therapeutic techniques to individuals addicted to drugs and alcohol. I also received training and am certified in suicide prevention. It would be an honor to help you or your family navigate through life’s journey

My professional strengths consist of working with adults and providing them with an individualized space that supports them in exploring their authentic self and beyond. My goal is to provide you with a safe, genuine, and honest space that allows you to grow forward in this journey we call life. Although my primary counseling approach is person - centered, I do lean into other modalities as needed. I value and place firm emphasis on self-determination and working in tandem.

Life can be hard as it is currently being lived. Sometimes our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors get so intense that we don't know how to effectively navigate life. I am an intensively trained DBT therapist through Behavioral Tech, LLC. I truly believes that learning a new set of effective and healthy coping skills can and will create a life worth living.

I specialize in working with you. Who you are, what drives you, what defeats you & what is keeping you from a healthy lifestyle. My process involves an exploration of your personality, patterns and ego that disrupt the life you desire to live. In addition, I work with the problem/s you encounter that contribute to being stuck in difficult emotions. When in a place of fear, anxiety, need, impulsivity, perfection, deceit or an egotistical sense of value we defer to what we know, judgement, cynicism, sarcasm, disconnection or revenge. These are defenses resisting true self-awareness, compassion and connection, keeping you stuck.

I hold a masters degree in Counseling from Georgia State University, and am licensed as a professional counselor in the state of Georgia. In addition, I am a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor. I work with children, teens and adults . Although I have a particular affinity for connecting with adolescents in a genuine, authentic way to help them work through family, peer, and academic issues, I am also passionate about helping adults . My other areas of expertise include eating disorders, substance use, and women's issues.

I am passionate about helping you meet all of your goals. Whether it is personal and or professional, I will walk beside you as you take the steps necessary to live your best life.

I am a certified life coach consultant whose passion and service is to help others improve their lives and reach their goals. I specialize in assisting youth in their self-discovery. I assist them in creating a blueprint on how to fit, understand, and be part of society. Youth experience traumatic emotions and can be deeply troubled and misguided. Parents become confuse and inpatient about their teens behaviors and decision making. My coaching techniques aim to help youths be positive, organize and responsible, grow confidence, become people-person, improve their lifestyle, and follow their dreams.

At each stage, we face different challenges that can be tough to move throughout. I specialize in treating adult individuals during transitions and adjustments through life. Being an adolescent is tough, but what about that decade or a few after? Emerging adults at the crossroads of life, love, and career. Women transforming into mothers, that perinatal and postpartum rollercoaster. A difficult health diagnosis where you have to explore what your new normal is. At all these crossroads, we can get anxiety and depression, or feel paralyzed with fear or loss, and at anytime, any of these feelings can bubble up.

No matter how big or how small, your struggle is valid. So often guys walk into the office thinking they need to carry around everything as if their pain is a badge of honor. You don’t have to carry everything. You don’t have to be alone in your struggle. It is ok to ask for help. Therapy can be a place where you come to learn more about the “why you do what you do” or it can be a place where you can talk without being judged or even fixed. I want to be a part of ushering in a new age of males. Ones that are willing to understand who they are. Ones that are willing to deal with their pain, so others don’t take the brunt.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist in private practice in the state of Georgia. I help children and adults overcome the negative effects that stressful or traumatic life experiences have on how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I maintain a "mind-body-environment" perspective to understand how mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health are interconnected and interrelated to our relationships with others, the environment (nature-culture) and ourselves. I recognize that when these elements are imbalanced, it creates symptoms that can lead to suffering. Anxiety and depression, among other mind-body symptoms, are both cause and effect of this imbalance. They are also the cause of feeling stagnant in life, another root of suffering. Therefore, I hope to work with my patients to create balance and find flow in their life.

Do you want a better quality of life? Tired of being stuck? Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, grieving, depressed or anxious? Has chronic illness or pain caused you to withdraw from others? Have you suffered from mental health issues most of your life? Maybe, you are stressed due to divorce, family conflict, relocation, retirement, career difficulties, intimacy issues or caregiving? You may want to feel more self-confident, assertive or less lonely. Sharing your problems with an understanding and nonjudgmental therapist is the first step. Don't suffer alone. You deserve to feel better. Pick up the phone and call me.

I utilize my emotional intelligence and intuitiveness to join the journey of others and increase their fortitude to navigate through difficult challenges together. I believe that a therapeutic alliance tailored for each individual drives the momentum necessary to enhance their level of empowerment which recharges, reconnects, and reclaims their perception of happiness. We are entitled to enjoy the abundance of life and that is unlimited and determined by our terms. It is our choices that directs our path to an unapologetic abundant life.

As a therapist, I seek to provide the kind of mental health services that I would want available to my father, my brother and even myself. As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of the mental health needs of Black men.
