Transgender Therapists in Atlanta, GA

Welcome, I'm Kaia. I am a queer and nonbinary therapist who offers virtual therapy for individuals and couples using a relational approach incorporating mindfulness and body-based approaches. I integrate a trauma-informed, intersectional feminist, queer and body positive lens in our work together. As a therapist, I am warm and compassionate, providing space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that our bodies hold the wisdom and power to heal ourselves; most of us just need guidance to remember how to do that.

I believe in therapy that affirms, empowers, and supports people to recognize patterns, navigate changes, bolster personal growth and self-worth, and figure things out. Therapist and client collaboration are of utmost importance to me, guided by clinical theory and evidence-based therapeutic techniques that work for you. I utilize a strengths based, anti-racist, intersectional feminist approach. I work with clients navigating healthy masculinity, internalized oppression, gender dysphoria , addiction recovery, depression, sexuality, relationship stressors & boundaries, family of origin challenges, life transitions, & more.

I see a wide range of individuals and address different things with each one. I've worked with substance use disorders, eating disorders, co-occurring mood disorders, and have worked with all ages. Ideally I prefer to work with teens up through adults, with the exception being transgender , gender-expansive, and gender non-conforming children which I will see in family therapy.

All individuals and families have challenges and at times need additional care to grow and thrive. For the past ten years, I have worked with children, youth, and their families to heal family conflict, improve communication, and address behavioral challenges. I have specialty training in trauma-informed care and parent support in addressing family dynamics and patterns. I specialize in affirming and caring for the LGBTQIA+ community and transgender / gender expansive youth and adults, and their families. I engage from a strengths-based, feminist, anti-racist, intersectional lens, while empowering individuals to make life changes.

Good Life. "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It's a direction, not a destination" (Carl Rogers). I help people make lasting changes they feel good about. I'm easy to talk to and I'll work with you flexibly, even playfully, using a mix of techniques and approaches known to be effective. I'll help you couple your insight with action so you can work out creative solutions. I'll respect your right to decide what is good for you, based on your truths. I'll help you to rewrite The Story of You.

Are you haunted by the past, consumed by fear, pain, guilt or sadness? I have helped many others like you end suffering and overcome fears, finally putting their pasts behind them. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting are specialized therapies for healing Trauma and PTSD more quickly and completely. I am also experienced with grief/loss, panic and anxiety disorders, phobias, depression, low self esteem, and other issues. In addition, I work with LGBTQI, Gender Identity, transgender people and transitioning. I am open-minded and accepting and I welcome folks from all spiritual belief systems, sexual orientations, gender expressions, colors, shapes and sizes.

LGBTQ, Transgender and gender expansive clients are my specialty and I have been working with this community for over a decade. As a queer person myself, I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to have the courage to be who they are. You may be struggling with coming out, exploring your gender identify, religious trauma, are autistic or have ADHD or are just looking for someone that "gets" you. Really "gets" you or your child. My hundreds of hours of special training & authorship of The Gender Identity Journal make me a great fit.

I provide psychotherapy and counseling for a wide range of adult issues, including anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender , and queer). My first goal with you as a new client is to establish a genuine human relationship where you can feel safe, relaxed and understood. To that end, you will notice that sessions feel conversational and "real." I also bring extensive clinical experience and expertise. I'm naturally empathic and validating but will also challenge you to take ownership of your own life and choices.

With time we can develop a therapeutic relationship that is based on trust. I strive to provide an understanding and supportive environment where you feel comfortable and secure. I offer an eclectic style of therapy, where I pull from many theories and treatment styles in order to make your experience unique and well suited to your needs.

Hello. Most of my clients are struggling with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, and/or life transitions. I work from an interpersonal perspective, assisting clients to identify their challenges and to work towards their goals. I utilize talk therapy, mindfulness, and stress management counseling. I provide my clients both support and supportive challenge, to assist with growth and change.

I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents experiencing a variety of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self-harm, suicidality, and issues related to trauma and overcontrol. I am guided by the philosophy that all individuals have the intrinsic capacity for resilience and healing, and meet clients with warmth, authenticity, and empathy to develop a plan of treatment based on their specific needs and unique strengths.

Do you want to improve your mental health and overcome challenges? I can help you learn important skills to reach your personal therapeutic goals. I provide evidence-based, compassionate treatment for a variety of issues and ages, with specializations in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and gender and sexual identity.

Do you feel stuck? Lost? Depressed? Anxious? Relationship Issues? Each of us experience hard times, but only a few know how to turn it into a starting point for a new life full of happiness. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience, my mission is to help you find your hidden potential and give you the necessary tools to develop and grow. If you are ready to learn better ways of creating more homeostasis and balance in your life without sacrificing, YOU then let me help guide you through that journey. You can learn to love yourself, You are more than your thoughts and what society says about you, You matter.

No matter what phase you are in life at this moment, taking a step towards healing is a brave act and you are inherently worth that investment. I believe that there is liberation in learning to love and accept yourself completely. Together, we will unpack what traumas you may be holding in your body to build more meaningful and healthier relationships not only to yourself, but to those around you.
