Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Beginning therapy can be overwhelming and I aim to make the process feel authentic and comfortable. I welcome adult and adolescent clients, their families and significant others who are motivated to learn about themselves, improve their relationships and transform their lives. I am fat-positive and use a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach, am welcoming to all gender and sexual identities, races, religions, and cultural backgrounds and am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with clients going through a wide range of difficulties including addiction, grief/loss, eating disorders, negative body image and relationship problems.

Let's face it: life is messy. We are all broken people living in a broken world and doing the best that we can. And sometimes our best just doesn't seem to be good enough. We can find ourselves disillusioned and heartbroken and yet we don't know how we wound up here. We long for more out of this life and yet we don't know how to get there. Whether you are grieving a loss, struggling to make a decision, or simply find yourself stuck in a rut, counseling can help you understand not just the origin of your problems but also assist you in developing practical coping skills and solutions.

As a warm, heart-centered, holistic therapist, I am deeply interested in accompanying my clients in their journey to health, happiness, and wholeness. In facilitating a safe healing space for adults, we gently explore what emerges in the present moment, letting the session organically unfold. I am welcoming clients who want to step into an authentic, more peaceful, more empowered and expansive place within themselves. I work with those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship turmoil, spiritual or existential issues, grief, life transitions, women's issues, co-dependency, abuse, trauma, or those simply wanting to find deeper contentment in their lives.

I believe the past often shows up in the present and I strive to create a space where we can honor your story and help you feel grounded in the here and now. Having lived in several parts of the world and experienced many different cultures, I have found what remains universal are the ways in which people tell stories and make meaning of their experiences. This is a powerful tool in the therapeutic space as well and one I make room for. By focusing on the counseling relationship, my hope is to cultivate a space that is welcoming and free of judgment.

So, you have said yes to the ring, and you're thinking, now what do I do, how do I now navigate bridging our two lives together? There's so much to think about and you're feeling overwhelmed. Or are you an established couple whose relationship is facing some challenges, it is not unusual for couples to experience some bumps in the road during their marriage. You could be an individual or family that is facing personal struggles from anxiety, and depression to childhood trauma or seeking support for your family dynamics, I am here to assist you on your path to healing in pre-marital, couples, or individual therapy.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and/or an eating disorder? Are these issues affecting your relationships? Within the therapeutic relationship, I want to be able to provide a level of comfort that will allow you to be able to explore unwanted thoughts. These thoughts may be affecting your emotional state, and ultimately intruding on your day to day performances. Because these feelings can be difficult to understand and even express to others, many individuals from all ages can feel alone in the process.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples to shift from an insecure to secure attachment style. A person struggling with insecure attachment experiences anxiety, avoidance, or both, making it difficult to create and maintain close relationships. This is most often due to past experiences that have yet to be processed and resolved, so they block the way to adult relationship success and lead to repeating patterns. Developing a secure attachment style allows you to confidently be yourself, set healthy boundaries, implement self-care, and build healthy platonic and romantic connection for a greater quality of life.

Welcome! In my practice, Inner Path Counseling, I work with clients to move toward finding wholeness, balance, and embracing their truest self. Often beliefs and old patterns of behavior are getting in the way. I focus on helping clients identify and shift their beliefs and behaviors so that they can achieve the goals they set for themselves. Your internal experience and your relationships can improve.

If life is feeling hard or you're just feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you determine what you need next. I believe deeply in this process of therapy and in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully. Maybe you are dealing with relationship concerns, overwhelming anxiety or feelings of sadness and despair. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma or childhood pain, or experience feelings of detachment or impulsivity. Maybe you feel a little lost and are looking to find your voice and your purpose.

Do you experience anxiety, depression, or dealing with distressing or traumatic events that are causing you to feel stuck? Are you experiencing an unhealthy relationship with food or body image? Do you feel like you are dealing with toxic relationships or patterns that are keeping you from living your best life? Therapy can provide support in helping you find a balanced relationship with food and body image, as well as find ways to manage overwhelming emotions and traumatic events. I have over 15 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist and would be honored to be part of your healing journey.

Have you felt unheard or alone in your relationship? Perhaps you’ve tried to express your feelings and emotions and yet you still feel that no one cares. I applaud you for taking the first step toward a healthier journey for yourself and relationship. After meeting my husband and completing pre-martial counseling of my own, I came to realize my passion for helping couples strengthen their emotional and physical bonds came as a natural strength. With experience working with the family unit, I strive to assist families in pursuing new solutions to their problems that ultimately strengthen the family dynamic.

Do you need help with your relationship? I specialize in Couples Counseling, with a speciality in premarital counseling. I help couples design their marriage. I choose to work with only a select few clients who are motivated and who recognize the investment of marital counseling. This is the most important investment that you will make in your relationship. Counseling is a priority and should be completed at the first indication of problems. I work with couples and individuals online and in person for a fee of $150 (individuals) and $200 (Couples) per session.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, I specialize in working with couples and men's issues. Couples often face a range of challenges that can strain their relationship, including communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, intimacy issues, and differing expectations. These difficulties can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, and a sense of drifting apart. I help couples navigate these obstacles, fostering understanding, improving communication, and rebuilding trust to create a healthier and more fulfilling partnership. In addition to couples, I also work with men, addressing the specific issues they may encounter.

Most clients I work with deal with relationship and performance-related stress, affecting their marriages/partnerships, friendships, family dynamics, work, and overall sense of fulfillment. I help individuals navigate sexual and gender diverse relationships, gain self-awareness, alleviate distress, and enhance well-being and relationships.

Feeling stuck? Wondering why you keep finding yourself in the same struggle, experiencing the same pain or relationship issues, yet again? Or perhaps you feel invisible or unheard, or can't find your own voice? I work with clients to explore how unresolved issues from the past impact the present. In an open and safe environment, we explore authentic feelings and lost aspects of self often censored in general society, toward greater personal insight, growth and change. An accepting and validating therapy relationship can be a key element in the healing of old wounds and opening up of new possibilities.

You are trying to find your way through the labyrinth, and you feel something is holding you back. You look for a safe place, but you don't see it. Something is preventing you from having a healthy relationship and satisfying intimacy. "Why am I here?", you might ask yourself. You and I will work together to identify your challenges and use your strengths to make your world a better place. I offer individual, relationship, and sex therapy to help you get the life, relationships, and pleasure you want. People of all lifestyles, backgrounds, and experiences are very welcome.

You are not “crazy” because you are feeling disconnected from your spouse or partner, or because you keep finding yourself in dating relationships or friendships that are more frustrating that fulfilling. You are not “crazy” because you have difficulty making decisions due to worry about what other people will think. You are not “crazy” because you are beginning to question what you thought you would never question. You are human-and we all have times in our lives when we need help.

Everyone can benefit from therapy in some way, yet reaching out for help can be difficult. I understand this challenge and commend you on taking the first steps towards leading the life you desire. As a systemic therapist, I believe the relationships that we are apart of, and the experiences that we have, influence our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Therefore, I enjoy helping clients explore the various systems they are connected to as they continue to learn about themselves.I have a collaborative and client-centered therapeutic approach and I am committed to helping my client's reach their therapeutic goals.

Life is often not easy. And even when it is good, it can be challenging. We all struggle, wonder, and do our best with all that we have been given - our families and stories, our hopes and fears, abilities and blindspots. Psychotherapy can provide a place to better understand our stories or to heal from past traumas. It can help us address challenges in our relationships or develop new and better ways of being together. It can also provide a safe space to explore ourselves, to better understand who we are and what we want and need in order to live the life we have been given in the best way possible.
