Therapists in Atlanta, GA

With over 15 years of experience as a practicing therapist, I understand that therapy is not the easiest journey to take when you have to address challenging life circumstances. The easier path to take is to do nothing and remain unhappy and dissatisfied. Meaningful change in life will not happen unless you make the commitment to change. I provide a safe, comfortable, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to do the work you need to do so you are better able to fulfill your dreams. You only have to be willing to make a difference in your life.

As a queer, non-binary, disabled professional counselor, I am committed to creating an environment in which you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to hold space for you, and to facilitate the exploration of your strengths while deepening your connection to your core self and your values. The relationship with the self and the body should feel like a safe haven; creating that sense of safety is foundational for healing and growth.

I believe that couples and family therapy can provide a uniquely powerful context for relational growth. Relate well to yourself - have a fair and meaningful connection with your anxiety, pain, and goals. Relate well to your partner, family, friends, and job - deepen bonds and communicate. We can relate well - let's collaborate on strengthening connections in your life!

If you find yourself feeling stuck or lost, disconnected or out of control, or like an outsider in your sexual or romantic relationships, I welcome you to the start of your healing journey. I am a board certified sex therapist (CST) who works with marginalized communities. Together we will work on making your relationships healthy and satisfying. I will challenge you in order to foster empowerment and confidence. You are the best expert on you. I am here to help guide and facilitate treatment for you and your relationships.

We all experience challenges in our daily lives; working, dating, raising children, marriage, communication, spirituality, education. Difficulties in these areas of life need not become debilitating or lead to the destruction of caring relationships. The most difficult challenge is taking the first step to ask for help. You have the answers, you just need help unlocking those answers. Let me help.

As a certified RRT Practitioner and a CSAT offering psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and Rapid Resolution Therapy, I specialize in healing trauma as well as in sex, love, and relationship addiction. Counseling is, for me, about witnessing someone else's personal story and providing a safe place to experience the whole range of emotions. I provide a nurturing, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which to explore your issues. Together we will develop new strategies to help you deal with life's challenges so that you are better able to experience life's joys.

Our Clients often present w/ concerns pertaining to: – Generational relationship issues and navigating patterns of communication – Difficulty finding peace, balance, emotional wellness in daily life – Couples who are experiencing challenges, causing communication failure and/or detachment – High stress environments resulting in symptoms/triggers of anxiety/stress – Difficulty navigating significant life transition.

I enjoy working with both couples and individuals. Couples therapy can consist of troubles with communication, sex therapy concerns such as education, dysfunctions, lack of desire/interest, pain in sexual activity, medication side effects, and anxiety/depression related to sexual issues, post-affair recovery, and relationship conflict across the lifespan. I also work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, relational problems, including family systems. Starting this journey can feel awkward at first, but I am here to provide a safe environment for you to process and address a variety of your concerns.

Sometimes, we can get messages that we can't change ourselves or our lives, that we aren't worthy of healing, that we should not hold on to hope. I believe that during those times, it is so important to seek support. In therapy, you can find a place to explore the challenges you are facing and can receive support as we work together to come up with new strategies. I enjoy helping clients find healing, hope, and wholeness in the face of difficult experiences, particularly those related to race and culture, identity, family problems, self-esteem, and spirituality.

Do you struggle with overthinking, self doubt, or lacking trust in yourself? Do you often feel like an "imposter" and feel like everyone else knows exactly what they are doing but you feel lost? Are you a perfectionist who never feels good enough or like you are never accomplishing enough? Do feelings of low self confidence hinder you from believing in yourself and trusting your abilities? These are often signs of anxiety arising and keeping us stuck and unhappy.

Are you a single Christian woman who seems to have it all together? Yet you're sad, anxious, and lonely. Are you a young woman with low self-esteem, questioning your worth? Are you a new mom who "should be happy" but somehow you're sad and having intrusive thoughts? Perhaps you're a new empty-nester. You should be excited. Instead you're grieving. Or maybe you're an elder, great-grandmother, and somehow everyone's telling you what to do. You're losing your autonomy. It makes you angry and confused. Considering marriage, but want to make sure he's the one? Struggling in your relationship? These are all issues I can help you with.

Talking about sex can be very uncomfortable and feel awkward. It can be made worse by issues with our pelvic floor or reproductive system. This can leave you feeling disconnected from your body and/or your partner. Maybe you're noticing that you're avoiding sex or having sex that is painful or not pleasurable. Confusion, loneliness, shame, frustration are all common emotions that show up when we want something different in our sex lives but don't know how. I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sex and pelvic floor dysfunction reconnect to themselves and each other through somatic and sex based therapies.

Now Accepting New Clients: Is this your first time seeking therapy or are you looking for a new counselor? I’m glad you are taking this step.

By talking about what troubles you, this can increase your sense of hope and assist you in reaching your maximum potential. The goal is to help you to be in the place you feel most fulfilled, secure, and happy.

I firmly believe that everyone can find value in therapy. You have the power to heal from past wounds and repair strained relationships. Together, we can cultivate the skills needed to navigate life's hurdles and establish fulfilling goals for your future. I'm Latonya Hamilton, a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience empowering individuals, couples, and families to embark on a journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

You deserve a nurturing environment to foster healing and personal growth.

Marriage and Family Therapy:Sex, Money and In-laws, we use to think these were the the main causes of relationship problems. We now know that many problems occur due to “Built Up Resentments and An Inability to Resolve Conflict”. Let me help you learn to communicate in ways that resolve these roadblocks and restore intimacy, trust and vulnerability with those you love.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed, rushed? Feeling down or blah, and wondering what’s missing? Maybe you are in transition or dealing with a difficult situation or relationship. Having a safe, nonjudgmental space in order to explore your life may be exactly what you need.
