The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists in Atlanta, GA
You feel yourself holding your breath every day — waiting and hoping things will improve. Fear, overwhelm, and chaos have become more than you can handle.
You feel confused about why anxiety lingers, why relationships feel so hard, or why certain wounds resurface despite everything you’ve already tried. You’re exhausted from just getting through the day. You need real change — not just coping, but lasting relief.
Trauma isn’t always one dramatic event. Often, it’s the accumulation of relational experiences that quietly taught you to stay small, stay cautious, or stay responsible for everyone else.

I approach counseling with the belief that we have all learned how to be the person we are today. We go through our lives acting and reacting in the same way we always have, because that’s what we know. You’re often catching yourself saying the phrase: I wish I could do things differently.
As a person-centered therapist, I believe that you have the solution you need. Often we fall into the habit of playing this person we think we need to be– a collaborative counseling process will offer you the space and support to discover who you actually are and what you really need.

I have spent over 6 years learning from the Shipibo healers of the Peruvian Amazonian rainforest on how to help others overcome their sadness, fear, depression, anxiety, spiritual illnesses, lack of self-worth, lack of love, lack of purpose, and general states of unease. I bring a different type of energy to my sessions, grounded in the roots of the earth. My education is experience-based. I couldn't learn it from a book. I had to learn it through the adventure of life. I now combine that with my Western education in social work and will soon hold my own license.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
