Bisexual Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Do you find yourself wishing your relationships with others were deeper? Do you crave intimacy, to feel known, listened to, and valued? In our world today, this deep sense of connection can be difficult to attain. As a therapist, I prioritize relationship, offer therapeutic connection, and facilitate intrapersonal and relational growth. I work with individuals to explore identity, sexuality, and the difficulties that may come along with attempting to know one’s self deeply and live authentically, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. I particularly enjoy and specialize in working with queer and bisexual women.

I believe therapy helps us understand the power of the mind. This is especially useful when we feel disconnected, marginalized, or stigmatized. When we feel this way, learning how the mind channels this information through thoughts, feelings, emotions, and perceptions, can influence us to recognize our own cognitive processes and how they impact our life. If we attend to our cognitive processes in a healthy way, it may lead to regulation of mood, clarity, balance and feelings of peace. We start to evolve and accept certain things about ourselves. We begin to feel at peace from within. I help my clients through this process.

Hello. Most of my clients are struggling with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, and/or life transitions. I work from an interpersonal perspective, assisting clients to identify their challenges and to work towards their goals. I utilize talk therapy, mindfulness, and stress management counseling. I provide my clients both support and supportive challenge, to assist with growth and change.

I work with people in a warm, supportive way that bolsters their internal strengths and resources but that also challenges them and invites change. While helping people feel better as quickly as possible, I also help them grow personally, understand themselves more deeply, have more rewarding relationships, and make deep, lasting change. Creativity, spontaneity, and sense of humor are important to me and I try to incorporate these qualities into all of my work. I most often see people individually but frequently work with couples, helping them work through difficulties and enhance their connection with each other.

Our lives are complicated and busy with very little time to figure out what to do next. That is why when we have issues it can be difficult to see our way out. This is where therapy is helpful; to speak to someone who is caring, accepting and can objectively see both the larger and smaller pictures. Being non-judgmental is the key to allowing people to be heard and allow some healing to begin. Sometimes it just takes validation or a new perspective to make all the difference in your life.

I can help you thrive. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience, I can guide you in learning new coping skills, navigating difficult emotions, and improving your relationships. Together we can work through any unhelpful patterns you might be stuck in. I will help you get through the toughest moments of your life, and help you become your best self. I offer both individual and couples therapy, and work with people of all backgrounds, ages 15 & older. (Hablo español. Trabajo con adolescentes y adultos, y ofrezco terapia individual y de pareja.

Some stories are just too hard for us to tell on our own and some will cause us pain just because we are still stuck in the middle of it. Stories can cause us to feel anxiety, stress, depression, confusion, and anger. They can even cause us to do things that we know are not helpful, even harmful, to cope with the negative feelings. I have a passion for people's stories and walking with people through the painful but enriching process of getting unstuck. Wherever you find yourself, you are welcome to come exactly as you are.

I am deeply irreverent, I cuss a lot and I want to support you in getting to your most fabulous and grounded self.

Accepting new clients. Welcome! I believe therapy can be a transformative experience, and it requires a lot of courage to take that first step toward healing. I empower clients to live a meaningful and purposeful life, feel a sense of safety in their bodies, and understand their own behavioral and attachment patterns. I am trained in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a values-driven, behavioral therapy that helps us feel more aligned with ourselves in the choices we make. I also draw from attachment theory, internal family systems (IFS), and somatic approaches.

As a trans person of color, I know firsthand that those who hold marginalized identities often are told to remain silent and invisible. I practice with the principle that the therapeutic space belongs to the client. I prioritize my clients’ voices and introspections and consider the influences of systemic oppression and generational trauma on each client’s life. I believe healing is found when we can connect to ourselves and others.

I can help you explore & discover a sense of peace and tranquility by establishing coping skills, empowerment & developing treatment goals! You are just a few steps away from your transformation and living out your best version of self! Taking that first step to asking for help takes a lot of courage, so I'd like to express how courageous it is to get to this point. My approach is supportive, kind, and powerful as you and I journey together on your path to healing.

I believe that improving your relationship with yourself improves everything. No matter what your presenting issues are, you are there as part of the equation. My approach is both practical and insight-oriented, and my goal is to help you understand what ways you can better take care of yourself by providing you the skills you need, and a vision to become who you want to be.

Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we have wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Struggles with fertility are traumatic experiences. Maybe we feel removed from friends with children, siblings with children, or parents who may not understand. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?
