Male Therapists in Atlanta, GA

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.

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.

Are the pressures of school, relationships, friendships, and addictions increasing feelings of anxiety and depression? So many guys struggle silently. I help high school, college, and young adult men thrive in life. Whether it is anxiety, depression, ADHD, failure to launch, struggles with angry outbursts, addictions, self-esteem, or any other issue can cause young men to quickly feel overwhelmed and look for a way out. Parents are trying to support their sons and help them, but don't know what to do.

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.

Are you striving to find satisfaction with your work, life or relationships? Do you want to focus on fixing immediate problems rather than unraveling past hurts? Do you want to build a strong foundation for your current or future relationship? Have you grown tired of being treated like a problem and not a person? Do you prefer to work with a therapist who can relate to your challenges? I get where you’re coming from, and I’m here to help.

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.

When you're struggling with life-controlling problems, it's important to get the help that you need. I specialize in working with men from all backgrounds. I provide clients with a full range of therapy options as well as affordable fees. Your mental health and wellness begins by you taking the first step. Call me and we can begin your road to recovery today. I offer years of real world experiences outside of the therapist's consultation room. I have worked with all sorts men from adolescents to business professionals, medical professionals, lawyers, small business owners, young career seekers and senior statesmen.

I specialize in helping men transform their relationships, careers and friendships. Many of my clients work with technology or see the Internet as a major part of their lives. In my private practice I also coach and counsel parents whose children have become addicted to their phones, online games, or the Internet at large.

I serve as a counselor to help men , women, couples, families, and teens find hope, healing, and growth. I see it as an honor and calling to come alongside of someone who needs help in discovering the way forward.

Through my work, I am committed to helping people overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs, trauma-related issues including male sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, and other stresses that affect all of us at some time in our lives.  Therapy is an interactive relationship between the client and therapist in identifying and clarifying goals.

Those of us who struggle with anxiety, trauma, and depression know how hard it can be to ask for help. And the worse the problem becomes the harder it is to reach out. It can be especially difficult for men . We are supposed to be able to fix everything, right? And once you decide to ask for help, who do you ask? Any therapist on these pages would work hard to help you. But there is something about finding the right person to talk to, the right connection. That picture over there pretty much tells the story. I am as old as I look. I have been around the block once or twice, both as a counselor and a person.

I work with different income levels and cultural backgrounds. I help them learn skills to change their lives for the better. I have decades of experience--cradle to grave. My cognitive-behavioral approach is to serve WITHOUT JUDGMENT or assuming how clients are without getting to know them one-to-one. All client information is confidential except as required by law: danger to self or others such as child or elder abuse. Fortunately, this is rare. CLERGY ENCOURAGED TO INQUIRE! ASK FOR DR.

What is keeping you from living your best life? Do you struggle with anxiety and depression? Are you concerned about issues related to your sexual orientation and/or gender identity? Have religious teachings caused you to doubt your worth? Does fear of criticism or rejection prevent you from being yourself?

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 ’s mental health needs.

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.

After a successful corporate career, I followed a life-long desire to help others. My hope is to empower you to achieve peace of mind and meaningful life changes. Let's start exploring your strengths and values, as we uncover your pathway for optimal growth. Note: Prepare/Enrich certified

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.

I help people who are feeling overwhelmed get back on track. I assist young adults anxious about work or life who need support and tools to move ahead. Clients of all ages may be going through challenges or life transitions - career, divorce, medical issues, retirement - that show up as anxiety or depression or just feeling stuck. We'll explore what's not working and I'll help you make changes so life can be better. If this is your first time working with a psychotherapist, I'll do my best to explain how therapy works. Good counseling is always a collaboration.

*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.

If your life and relationships aren't going the way you'd like, if your marriage feels painful, if you're at your wit's end with your children's behavior, if you want to do things differently but feel stuck- I'd like to help. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, intimacy, personal boundaries, parenting issues, divorce and its impact on the children- all of these can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate well. I work with children and families (ages 5+), parents, adult men , and couples.
