Female Therapists in Atlanta, GA

The decision to seek counseling is the first step to self care. I specialize in providing a safe, judgement free environment that allows individuals to approach any topic including intimacy and feeling overwhelmed by life's responsibilities.

Do you worry often or feel sad most days? Do you have conflict at home, school and/or work? I am available to help you through those challenges.

Adolescence and young adulthood brings unique challenges and excitement that often requires extra support from sources outside of friends and family. Navigating changes and life transitions can feel overwhelming, anxiety producing, and generally stressful. Finding the right therapist is one of the most important factors in your success towards feeling better. I work with children, teens, young adults, and highly sensitive individuals seeking support with anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, managing boundaries, and executive functioning.

Hello, I am Vershonda Scott, LPC, CADC II. I work with adults and couples. I believe that each person can find and create their own path. Life is a journey, and how one chooses to respond to life is what one gets back. But don't worry if how you respond to life is not benefiting you; I can help you deconstruct your old ways of thinking. I have extensive experience working with adults dealing with past trauma, transition/adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, substance abuse, and other life challenges.

When you’re going through a life transition, it is difficult to find your footing. Whether you chose this change or not, it seems one area of life has shaken your whole world. It's had an impact at home, in relationships, with family, at school, or work. You feel alone and confused. You want to enjoy the present and feel hopeful, instead of constantly playing over what you could have done differently. You want to stop feeling so raw and vulnerable.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious or depressed and turning to substances and other unhealthy behaviors to cope? Do you struggle with feeling uncomfortable in your own skin? Are you looking to make real changes in your life but don't know where to start? Or, maybe you've started your journey and you recognize the need for support as you continue to move forward. Change can be difficult and sometimes scary. It's important to have the right person "in your corner" to help you tap in to your inner wisdom and navigate the challenges that you're facing. I have experience working with a wide variety of presenting struggles including substance abuse, eating disorders, body image concerns, women's issues and navigating life transitions.

If you're seeking growth, growth will be inevitable. I enjoy the thrill of witnessing my clients recognize their potential and take charge of their lives, perhaps for the very first time. When your life improves, I am deeply moved, and thankful. And, because I am a practical person, your therapy will have a beginning, a middle, and an end, so you can get on with the pleasure of creating a wonderful life. I promise to be an unwavering ally along the way.

Wisdom’s House was birth to provide counseling to assist those that struggle with secretive daily battles. My goal is to inform individuals they can receive healing through the power of confession, counsel, forgiveness, and accepting the power to be free. I am gilded and passionate about assisting those in reaching their full potential by living a purpose-driven life.

I work with adults, young and seasoned, dealing with underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship related, guiding them through to cope with and/or healing through such challenges. Together, we will get you through a crisis from divorce to death and support you to "resurrect" from such major life transitions. I draw upon cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, expressive arts (including visual arts, body movement, music, poetry and journaling), career counseling, eco-therapy and mindfulness, to effect change. In addition, I bring 30 years of working with individuals in higher education.

Does anxiety feel like it is hard to manage? Whether it's anxiety about your relationship, your sex life, your job, your social life, or your life in general, the symptoms are all too regular and familiar: racing heart, stomach churning, and feeling like you can't breathe just to name a few. If only you could just wish the anxiety away with logic. Your friends or partner tell you to just relax and stop overthinking, but you can't! Your mind won't listen. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get your mind to stop.

I am a therapist who integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and systems theories into my clinical treatment of children, adolescents, and college students. Because I greatly value interdisciplinary work, I strive for successful collaboration with social workers, physicians, and educators in the provision of holistic behavioral healthcare for my clients. With a deep appreciation for the family system I partner with the important people in a child's life who often influence and affect their behavior through modeling and other relational processes. By providing concrete parenting strategies that increase self-efficacy, I aim to reduce disruptive behaviors & improve parent-child relationships.

I love helping individuals find healing, strength, and hope within themselves. I will come along side you in a collaborative and non-judgmental relationship to help foster positive and effective ways to achieve your goals. I believe that counseling can be life-changing, providing the ability to gain a deeper and more whole sense of self.

At Atlanta CBT, I help adults with anxiety (generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, health anxiety, etc.), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training. In addition to those core areas of focus, I am a seasoned therapist also possessing skills and experience to guide adults through grief, spiritual exploration, parenting, family relationships, adjusting to life’s stressors, and issues associated with diversity and inclusion.

I believe you are on the journey to become who you already are and who you are is infinitely complex. Often times external influences, circumstances, events, or relationships block you from living in the fullness of your complexity, and this can lead to psychological distress. I work with clients and couples to surface these conscious and unconscious barriers to growth so that you can lead a life responsive to who you are rather than reactive to what is going on around you. My hope is that, together, you discover not just relief from symptoms but optimal psychological functioning and deeply satisfying relationships.
