Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I work with clients desiring help with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma issues. I also offer counseling for goals/values clarification, later career/empty nest planning, codependency, relationship stress, and couples and premarital counseling. I believe in helping clients assess and appreciate their strengths in order for them to move forward toward achieving their goals. It is important to create a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients may explore, share, and rebuild their own life stories.

Are you struggling to make sense of how painful past experiences may be impacting your present day life? Do your relationships feel challenging as opposed to joyful, connected, and life-giving? It is my passion to work with others as they process past experiences, relational patterns, and pursue holistic healing in all areas of their lives. Whatever challenges, grief, or suffering you’re facing, you are invited to come exactly as you are.

You are feeling disconnected from yourself and your loved ones, are struggling to juggle the different aspects of your life and are having a hard time coping with past experiences or present challenges. Perhaps you have trouble recognizing who you are today, feel like your emotions are overwhelming and are missing a sense of peace. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to find the competence and confidence in your decision making and regain control and harmony. Most of all, you’re ready to find joy in the day-to-day again. You’re ready for a new “normal”, and I can help you get there.

Are you overwhelmed with how fast your life and the world is changing? Or maybe you have an issue you would like to focus on. I will meet you where you are on your journey and create a safe nonjudgmental space for you to continue to heal and grow. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression or bipolar symptoms, as well as self-esteem, existential, and life transition challenges.

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 enjoy working with adults struggling with a sense of self and identity, those with personality and mood disorders, struggling with life transitions, the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals questioning their sexuality and/or gender presentation. My practice is non-judgmental and queer-affirming.

A positive relationship can heal. In my practice I hope to provide a space for you to begin the journey of self-discovery, self-reflection, and growth. My philosophy focuses on the healing nature of connection between people, and strives to bring empathy, compassion, and presence into the therapeutic space.

No matter how hard we try in life, inevitably we come across unpredictable waters. Sometimes riding the waves of life can be delightful and sometimes it can be soul crushing. Thus, in my own life I seek to "embrace uncertainty and live joyfully through the process." I seek to empower my clients to become the best versions of themselves, especially during times of adversity. I work with clients to evaluate their life goals and to gain insight and clarity about factors that might that influence their success.

It can be really scary and debilitating when our minds and bodies are riddled with fear. This can show up as a high need for control, a low tolerance for uncertainty, fear of the unknown, fear of disappointing others, difficulty having boundaries and many other symptoms. Anxiety, OCD, PTSD & other fear based conditions are typically kept in place by an overwhelmed nervous system and an overactive survival instinct. In my work I help clients release these patterns so that they can experience and cultivate more inner peace, confidence, connectedness and wellness in their daily lives.

I believe in empowering my clients to find meaning and purpose in their life through exploring values and gaining insight behind their emotions, behaviors, and relational/attachment patterns. I work with clients of all backgrounds and cultures but have particular interest in working with PTSD and complex PTSD, attachment and relational issues, eating disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, and codependency. Whatever is present for you will be welcomed in our work together.

I offer different types of therapeutic avenues to explore, rework, release and address challenges old or new. We decide the timetable and scope of therapy together whether very focused change is desired or more in depth reworking is wanted. Some people also use therapy to maintain positive gains and have a unique place to speak/ find the truth in a safe, trusting environment. The focus is on enhancing and building on strengths to realize potential based on needs. I use brainspotting, polyvagal informed therapy (Unyte/ILS listening system) and IFS (Internal Family Systems ) to deeply and often more rapidly release blocked/frozen issues

Hi! I’m Dr. Reynolds, a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY#003947). I work with couples and individual adult clients who are working towards creating less stressful and more meaningful lives for themselves. Many people enter my office feeling overwhelmed, lost, and/or out of answers. Who wouldn’t feel like that in this day and age? Life moves so fast and it can be difficult to keep up. I am here to tell you that you can feel better. In fact, you can THRIVE.

Are you looking to explore the internal depths of your psyche? Are you interested in connecting with your inner child? If you are, then I commend you for your courage and strength. The therapeutic alliance is the bedrock for self-discovery and healing, and through a warm and understating environment, I look forward to helping you find the parts within that need help processing stored pain and energy.

Oh how I loved everybody else when I finally got to talk about myself. - Dar Williams. This practice provides a space for clients to feel safe enough to take off the mask without judgement. What about the anxious, depressed, angry, shamed and stuck parts of ourselves? They desire to be seen as well. I am here to stand witness with you. I work with women, particularly women of color, and the men who love them. I am proudly LGBTQ allied. I work with individuals and couples. All are welcome.

I specialize in trauma-related issues, ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, and substance use. I also have a passion for helping people process work dissatisfaction, burnout, and career exploration.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who enjoys working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families with a range of problems from anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, impulse control, family/sibling relational issues, parent-child relational and attachment issues, co-parenting, grief and loss, adoption issues, ADHD, substance abuse and major life transitions. I believe in taking a non-directive, client-centered approach, and creating a warm and non-judgmental space where I can help my clients to uncover what is keeping them from moving forward so they can lead happier and healthier lives.

I work primarily with children, teens, and young adults experiencing stress and anxiety, executive functioning deficits, identity confusion, mood disorders, grief and loss, and life adjustment challenges (i.e. separation/divorce). By providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, clients can effectively express, explore, and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe every client is equipped with a unique set of strengths and skills that can help them overcome adversity. By helping clients rework negative perceptions of events in their lives or of themselves, clients can move to a more regulated state.

How does safe space, acceptance just as you are, and conversation in which you feel met affect you? Do you find you are better able to say what’s really going on when carefully listened to? I believe therapy is a chance to pause in the rushed life we usually live to explore what we really think and feel. It is also a chance to explore your strengths, what is working, and what is getting in your way. Together we seek to hear your inner wisdom - your Self - speak more and more distinctly. I am here to offer you a grounded, secure presence for the work you have come to do.
