For
men
, relationships can be challenging.
Committed love relationships are the most powerful and prized of all human healing. Yet, for many, being in a relationship can bring frustration as well as comfort, heartache as well as joy. My specialty is to help couples improve and connect through proven processes and tools developed by Dr Harville Hendrix, author of the seminal New York Times Best Seller, Getting The Love You Want: a guide for couples. As a Certified Imago Therapist and Workshop Presenter, I help couples regain the safety, compassion and energy that brought them together in the first place.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor my training has focused on helping people, particularly
men
, get unstuck.
Life is short. If your life doesn't look the way you want, NOW is the time to change. For almost a decade, I have helped clients bring their lives into line with their goals. Being a therapist isn't just about giving a listening ear. It's knowing what to listen for and what to do with that information. It's understanding how the mind, body and soul work together and how we get stuck at certain points. Therapy is focusing that knowledge to create change. Change is a skill and therapy is the place you learn it.

*I offer both evening and daytime appointments* Lots of people know that they need to make a shift or change in their lives but need a warm, supportive therapist and a chance to lean into the difficult areas of their lives. I’m an especially good fit for folks who appreciate the use of humor and lightheartedness in the work, but also want to move deeper and connect with themselves and their emotions in new ways, instead of always having to compartmentalize or “tough it out” with their emotions. My areas of clinical focus include therapy for
men
and mindfulness practices, but I also work well with lots of different people.

I conduct three

men
which is a great asset in couple therapy.
As a licensed psychologist in independent practice, it is a privilege to use the intimate craft of psychology to witness individuals and couples change for the betterment of their lives. My values of altruism and autonomy guided me to this profession. I offer a straightforward, direct style that still maintains the caring and collaborative nature of my counseling psychology training. Patients experience this initially via my feedback session, after a two session evaluation. I conceptualize the problem, offer explanations regarding the etiology of the problem, and explain how I will work with you towards a satisfactory resolution.

As a psychotherapist for the last 30 years, I have particular interests in doing couples therapy and working with
men
who are depressed. I also see individuals with a wide range of life difficulties including depression, anxiety, work related problems, existential and life meaning questions, marriage difficulty (particularly involving extra-marital affairs) divorce issues, parenting issues, and communication issues. I facilitate 6 different groups - a mixed gendered process oriented group, two groups for
men
, and 3 supervision groups. I was trained in Symbolic-Experiential Psychotherapy at the Atlanta Psychiatric Clinic in Atlanta. I enjoy working with people from all socio-economic levels and diverse backgrounds.

I’ve been in practice for almost 30 years. I work primarily with
men
in the age range of 25 to 80 generally. Most of my clients have had work success but are not successful or content with their self perception and relationship life. Generally
men
deal with grief, sadness, feelings of inferiority, depression and anxiety on their own, silently or loudly. Many
men
are competitive and therefore defended about this part of them. “It”remains hidden to their detriment. I can help you with this malaise. Street drugs, alcohol, impersonal sex, et cetera are not the answer. An external anything does not genuinely resolve an internal issue.

As a therapist, I seek to provide the kind of mental health services that I would want available to my father, my brother and even myself. As a Black
man
, I understand the unique experiences of Black
men
in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress. I also recognize that Black
men
are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black
men
deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black
men
’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of Black
men

As a gay
man
and long-time Atlanta resident, I also have additional insights into the Atlanta GLBT culture and the resources available to its residents.
Are you struggling with sexual identity issues, or just regular day-to-day concerns that you would like to talk with an open-minded and GLBT-friendly therapist about? Are you having trouble with anxiety, depression, career concerns, or addiction recovery? All of the issues above - and more - can often be addressed through counseling. I believe that the perception and function of counseling has evolved rapidly in recent years. More and more people are finding counseling beneficial for not only solving specific problems or dealing with crises, but also for developing more fulfilling and enriching lives.

Man
, my journey has taught me that life can hard and the road to success can be lonely-especially in settings that lack diversity. This is further complicated when asking for help is frowned upon because of cultural mistrust and expectations. Hesitation or unwarranted self-appraisal can result when, instead, you should be celebrating your many accomplishments, your strength and undying resiliency!

I also have a therapy group specifically for gay
men
.
I have been working with people in Atlanta as a licensed clinical psychologist for36years. They may be experiencing anxiety or depression or frustration or anger or even hopelessness. These feelings may be related to issues such as their family of origin, their current relationship, their job, their health, their sexuality or other areas of life. While I have on occasion worked with children and adolescents, I work primarily with adults in individual, couples and group psychotherapy. I find it fulfilling to work with people to make positive changes in their lives.

My passion is helping adolescent boys, teens & young adult
men
as they navigate through challenging periods in their lives. By empowering adolescents, teens & young adult
men
with the tools and support they need, they are able to get "unstuck" and move forward with more confidence. Many of my clients struggle with their peer relationships and may suffer with social anxiety or low self-esteem, thus avoiding social interactions altogether. In the absence of fulfilling peer relationships, they may develop an over reliance on video games, social media, or other electronics use.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
