Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches because therapy isn't one size fits all. This may involve changing your thoughts and behaviors (CBT), learning how to be more present (mindfulness), and/or establishing safety (trauma-informed).

Many times, we are faced with challenges that seem unmanageable. I would like the opportunity to help you when facing these situations. Working together, we can identify the primary problem, develop a plan, and master coping skills to work through these barriers. Communication problems, past/present traumas, substance abuse issues and do not how to begin to address them? I can help. You do not have to suffer in silence. I have 9 years of substance abuse counseling and 6 years of mental health counseling to help you reach your maximum potential. Let's work together for a better tomorrow. Thank you for your trust.

I'm Ayana Lewis and I am a licensed clinical therapist in Georgia and Texas. I work well with those wanting to learn skills to better manage Anxiety and/or Depression. I also help many navigate their relationships with others while working on their own self-concept (how they see themselves and the world around them). I work well with clients that are experiencing low self-esteem and self-worth. I help clients recognize their value and how they are presenting to the world around them. Additionally, I assist those attempting to navigate life transitions including relationships, work, or family matters.

Hi there! My name is Kashana Gaines, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am truly passionate about providing supportive psychotherapy to assist my clients in some of their most difficult and vulnerable life challenges.

I am a very interactive, and kind person with a non-judgmental attitude.

Mental health is not limited to having a diagnosis or being labeled, it is about our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

I use an array of clinical and wholistic wellness tools to empower and support my clients including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Breathwork, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and TFCBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and The Afrocentric Perspective, among others.
