Career Counseling Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Whether you've been struggling for years with a long-term mental health concern or are feeling stress, anxiety or other issues resulting from a new life change, I can help you. I know life can be challenging at work or home, and will help guide you toward a better understanding of what's holding you back so you can create a plan for a happier, more fulfilling life. I work with adolescents and adults.

Are you prepared to become the best version of yourself? I have been a professional counselor for 15 years and in my experience the only requisite for transformation is a willingness to be open to the change process. Clients that I work with typically feel disconnected and unsatisfied. Whether it be professional stagnation, substance abuse, marital or interpersonal conflict, the person I serve typically feels their lives are not aligning with their expectations or goals. I work in a direct and supportive manner with clients to align behaviors and goals with personal values.

Hello there, I'm Kesley. Do you sometimes feel no matter what you do, things never work out? Or do you feel that the weight of the world is sometimes on your shoulders or your friends and family do not understand what you have to do? Seeking therapy is sometimes the right thing to do to help change your outlook on life. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the past 5+ years and I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with over 20 years experience working with clients with a variety of disabilities, mental health diagnoses, and career -challenges.

If feeling burned out or stuck is what brought you here—you’re in the right place. I support folks dealing with stress, relationship bumps, overwhelming emotions, and those who need to make changes in their life or career . Many who work with me consider themselves perfectionists, disenfranchised, people-pleasers, over-thinkers, and imposters. Truth is, I’m here for the wounded hearts who fear they won't heal; those who have known pain so intensely that life without it seems unimaginable. You don’t have to carry this alone—we’re just not wired for that.

I get it. It can be hard to take that next step in life when you don’t know where to turn next. Feeling stuck and helpless doesn't have to be permanent in your life. It is my goal to work with clients and journey with them through their challenges, trials, and personal growth. Areas in which I provide services include: individual, relationship, marriage, and family counseling while addressing the following areas: Career coaching, anxiety, depression, child & adolescent, relationship issues, coping skills, self esteem, self improvement, vocational, trauma, and life transitions.

Are you experiencing stress, grief, or anxiety? Are you ready to eliminate personal or professional blocks? Are you ready to create the life you want? I can guide you through this. I work with executives who are looking for guidance in leadership development and personal growth. You can increase effectiveness, build relationships, identify barriers, and attain specific goals. My goal is to help you gain control by using a mindfulness approach and positive and cognitive psychology principles. As a result, you will be more likely to achieve your goals, feel healthier, and remove blocks that prevent success!

I work with individual adults and couples; my therapeutic focus involves helping you gain insight into limiting self-perceptions and behavior patterns to manage stress, create new meaning, and to achieve the clarity, balance and interpersonal effectiveness that you're seeking. I approach therapy collaboratively, using mindfulness and meditation as central tools for awareness-building and transforming moment-to-moment experience. I am EMDR-trained and incorporate this modality into sessions for accelerating the healing process.

I assist clients through life transitions, especially in the areas of significant loss and career challenges. I hope to provide a caring and therapeutic environment that empowers you to explore yourself and life circumstances in new ways. I strive to help you develop new insights and seek creative solutions to help get “unstuck” wherever you are at in your life. I draw from a diversity of theoretical perspectives to cater the counseling experience to your needs and socio-cultural context (e.g., client-centered, existential, narrative, and cognitive-behavioral). Also, I am an Assistant Professor at University of North Georgia.

Are you in an unsatisfying job and dreaming of a fulfilling career ? Or, perhaps you exited the workforce to raise a family or re-evaluate your purpose and would like some guidance. Maybe you are graduating soon from college or a vocational program and wondering, what now? Or it could be that life's complicated circumstances are weighing you down right now. I understand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck or confused about where to turn next.

A critical part of life satisfaction depends on figuring out how to express your unique identity in a rewarding career . You may be at the beginning of your career journey in high school, college or recently graduated, or you may be older and realize you need to make a change. Perhaps you have taken a few years away from your career to take care of children or a family member and now you are ready to relaunch yourself. In any of these circumstances you may find that sometimes your own thoughts and feelings about your abilities get in the way. Personal counseling and coaching with a career focus can be very helpful for you.
