Therapists in Atlanta, GA

My name is Cloteal Lee and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 14 years of experience working with a diverse population of individuals who have found themselves struggling in some capacity. It is sometimes hard to open up and discuss your innermost thoughts and feelings. However, once the rapport is established you'll begin to feel more comfortable. I work with individuals to help them explore and process their feelings which will improve everyday living.

Learning to manage life can be a challenge. When complicated by life transitions, performance pressures, chronic health conditions, mental health diagnoses, or a host of other unforeseen obstacles, it is important to seek guidance. I have shared this journey with individuals & families for over 22 years. My clinical training, the use of research supported treatments, such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & Sports Counseling have allowed me to successfully work with individuals of all ages (children, teens, adults, & geriatrics), athletes, & business professionals who are confronted with a variety of concerns.

Embracing change can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Even when our life experiences have a negative impact on us and those we care about, breaking away from familiarity can be challenging. Often, we find ourselves unsure of where to start. Seeking counseling can be the first step towards creating a life that aligns with our desires and aspirations.

Do you feel stuck, as though no matter what you do, you always end up in the same space? Do you continue on with your daily responsibilities, but don't feel fulfilled or enthusiastic about life? Every day feels the same and the things that once excited you are now memories. So what now? What's next? Do you continue down the same path or do you start making changes? Today is the day to take the first step, in the right direction and, "Create A Life That You Love."

I know that life can be difficult to navigate on your own. You don't need to discern everything by yourself. Friends and family may or may not want to help, but their subjective guidance can only extend so far. It is sometimes necessary to reach out to professionals who can provide their professional empathic, objective guidance. I have been successfully providing counseling since 1994, to people like you, who are struggling with some of Life's many challenges. People are finding it is helpful to seek counseling. I provide both couples counseling, and individual counseling for adults. I assist people to move toward their life goals.

Life can be difficult for us all, but does it seem tougher on you at times? Maybe there actually IS something making life more challenging. Do you sometimes have feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness, or panic, but can't identify the causes of these? Do you suffer from sleep problems, low energy, stomach issues, or muscle tension that you can't explain? Do you have trouble concentrating or have racing thoughts that are impossible to control? These are just some of the ways that anxiety and depression affects us. Add in daily stress or unresolved trauma and it can become challenging or even impossible to cope with daily life.

"HEALING, TRANSFORMATION and ultimately MANIFESTATION!!!" is my motto. I want every individual I work with to define their power in the world by overcoming and expanding from any barriers to PERSONAL GROWTH! I work with adults on parenting issues, domestic violence, past trauma, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and depression. I work with adolescents in areas of trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger issues, depression, LGBTQ challenges, grief/bereavement, and abuse. I work with couples/families to remove any ongoing barriers and assist with fostering ongoing healthy communication with all members of the family.

Hello and welcome! I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, effects of trauma. Really, anything that's keeping you stuck, I want to help you get unstuck - even if it's not quite pinpointed. I love working with creative-types, people going through life transitions (good and bad), parents (and parents-to-be, and parents who want-to-be), people ready to finally tackle issues from their past, folks who have been to counseling before and want to learn how to apply their skills differently and learn new skills. I am passionate about meeting you where you are on your journey and helping you get to where you want to be.

Creating and fulfilling a sense of purpose leads to a life that blooms. Walking the healing path alone can be both a challenge and a barrier to change. Allow Bloom Coaching Solutions to join you in cultivation of the life you envision.

You're a visionary entrepreneur - an inspired artist - a dedicated scientist - committed in leadership. You've had success in your career AND YET when it comes to key relationships, you're stuck in repetitive patterns of disturbance and conflict. You've tried everything from confrontation to avoidance and nothing changes. You feel anxious, depleted and ready to fight. Just thinking about the relationships involved, at home and work causes you stress. What would it be like to break out of that? What would a new and enduring sense of freedom, even radical freedom, be worth to you? Let's explore and find out together.

Relationships can be challenging when you don't feel felt by your partner. Sometimes you feel like you're in the twilight zone because the same argument just keeps happening. No matter how hard you try, you still feel the same: alone, unimportant, under appreciated or some other awful feeling. Many times your partner doesn't even know your pain; its just too much to say. My Advanced Emotionally Focused Couples therapy training will allow you space to take risks in a comfortable and supportive environment. I encourage an intimate connection that can withstand challenges. If you love him/her, you can tell him/her. All are welcome.

Does it feel like life just keeps putting roadblocks in your way and you can't catch a break? Many of us feel sometimes like we aren't in control of our lives when difficult situations keep piling up. Whether you are dealing with work burnout, stress about Covid-19 or other medical problems, or just feeling isolated and alone, I can help you heal from your stressful experiences and get you back in the driver's seat. Let's refocus on the things that help you feel engaged and fulfilled and discover together how you can grow and thrive through whatever life is handing you. It won't always be this hard. We can make change together.

My interest is partnering with clients providing information and strategies that come from clinical research complimenting Biblical truths leading to deeper and more satisfying relationships within the family. Areas often addressed in therapy include; grief and loss, family changes, and communication styles many of which are positively impacted by increasing 'Emotional Intelligence'. Emotional Intelligence encompasses self-awareness, understanding and managing emotions, learning how to appropriately respond and connect to people/situations, and developing and maintaining healthy relationships. Adults, as well as, children often experience frustration when attempting to balance the demands of life while making and maintaining connections with others.

The study of psychology to me isn't the study of the mind as most would believe. But rather it's the study of the soul. The word psychology comes from the Greek word 'psyche' (or soul) and 'logos' (or study) which concludes that psychology literally means the study of the soul. As a care specialist I desire to be a holistic care provider embracing both the study of the soul and behavior. I have provided various spiritual and bereavement care and support counseling throughout my career. As a pastor I've utilized my clinical training to help trouble souls.

Many in today's world feel disconnected. You may feel disconnected from yourself, from those you love and even perhaps from a sense of any greater purpose in your life. What I love to do is help individuals, and families reconnect and hopefully come into a greater fullness of life.
