Emotionally Focused Therapists in Atlanta, GA
In relationship and sex therapy, I use EFT & RCT to co-create a space for partner(s) to come together and work on challenges.
Reaching out to a therapist is hard. So first, take a moment to commend yourself for prioritizing your wellbeing - it is difficult, even for me as a therapist! I believe that we all have a desire for genuine relational connection. However, our past experiences (eg. oppression, trauma, relational disconnections) inform our strategies of survival (eg. perfectionism, addiction, avoidance), which paradoxically leave us feeling dysregulated, isolated, or stuck in painful relationships. I see therapy as a space where you and I can co-create an open & authentic relationship, which will help us explore and heal your current life stressors.

I've spent the past 7 years focusing on training in Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) in work with both individuals & couples.
I believe that you are the expert of your life! My job is to be curious and to help you gain more understanding of yourself. A good therapist doesn't claim to have all the answers for why you are the way you are although I may have some ideas that I will share. When it comes to getting answers & more understanding, we will form hypotheses together and you will come to your own conclusions. I facilitate and guide that process! I'm here to share my knowledge to help you make decisions that are authentic, rational, and well-explored.

Darrin's techniques include CBT/DBT/REBT/ EFT/ACT, Internal Family Systems Therapy, ARC Therapy, Attachment Theory and Psychodynamic interventions.
Darrin is a licensed associate professional counselor under supervision trained to work with men, women, adolescents, couples and groups requiring professional help. He realizes that life produces internal storm damages occurring far too often without any damage control or prevention. The causes of moodiness, irritability, restlessness, discontentment, fear, doubt, uncertainty, anger, depression, anxiety, insomnia and addiction all have one thing in common - a lack of holistic wellness. Recovery from the internal/external effects of untreated mental and emotional damages is what he will introduce you to.

Navigating life's challenges can feel impossible at times, even if we find ourselves seemingly surrounded by support. Are you in the middle of a life transition, unsure of the next steps to take to help you move forward? Are you open to exploring past and present experiences in a judgment-free space, in the hopes of bringing you closer to emotional freedom? In my work with adult individuals and couples, I integrate mindfulness practices and various evidence-based techniques to help you (& your partner) develop healthy coping mechanisms, build self-compassion, and create a more fulfilling life.

I practice Emotion Focused Therapy ( EFT) and conceptualize couples from a lens of knowing that our core needs of attachment drive behaviors.
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 have training in experiential, cognitive-behavioral and feminist therapies, as well as specific interventions, including EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and emotion focused therapy ( EFT) for couples.
My goal is to provide focused treatment to help you feel better quickly. You can learn skills to reduce anxiety, mood swings, and negative life patterns. We may be a good match if you are experiencing grief or loss, relationship distress, anxiety, depression, or PTSD from trauma, or if you want to increase self-care. I also work well with children of alcoholics and caregivers (w/ a loved-one with dementia or illness.) Overall, I strive to help clients become more joyful and successful with themselves and with others. I welcome clients with a range of multicultural, gender and sexual identities, and I am committed to social justice.
