Family Therapy in Decatur, GA

Cliff Daniels, LCSW Cliff Daniels is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia who has been practicing since 2013. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Good day to each of you. Cliff first would like to thank you for considering this important step in your journey to develop healthy coping skills as you navigate mental illness and everyday life events that can cause stress, distress, grief, substance use/abuse, anxiety and or depression. Your decision to take care of you is an investment into your future and into the lives of those who know you, love you, and support you.

Are you tired of having people tell you that you’re “too intense” or “too sensitive,” or that you “shouldn’t feel” a certain way about something? Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood by others much of the time-- including family ? Do intense feelings sometimes leave you wanting to do something that will help you “escape” the emotional pain? What would it be like if you could spend time with others and not get overwhelmed by your emotions? How would you like to be able to handle emotions and communicate your feelings to others so you are understood, and others stay? What if you could feel connected, like you see others doing?

My goal is to provide focused treatment to help you feel better quickly. You can learn skills to reduce anxiety, mood swings, and negative life patterns. We may be a good match if you are experiencing grief or loss, relationship distress, anxiety, depression, or PTSD from trauma, or if you want to increase self-care. I also work well with children of alcoholics and caregivers (w/ a loved-one with dementia or illness.) Overall, I strive to help clients become more joyful and successful with themselves and with others. I welcome clients with a range of multicultural, gender and sexual identities, and I am committed to social justice.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 9 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help others since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That be said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

IN-PERSON only! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with almost 20 years of experience. I work with adults in all seasons of life. I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective but integrate other approaches to help meet the client's individual needs. I'm very interactive in my therapy & feel that being genuine with a client is the most valuable way to help them. I also see patients for self-growth as they continue to improve & implement the skills they have learned from our therapy. My areas of expertise are: Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Post Partum/Parenting, Relationships, Grief & Family Issues.

I am an open minded, non judgmental therapist who feels strongly that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the greatest predictor of outcomes. Over the past 15+ years I have worked with clients of all ages and have particular experience and interest in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I truly enjoy the work that I do and look forward to supporting you in whatever challenges you are currently facing.

I am committed to working with individuals to help them achieve their goals and therefore individualize treatment to meet each client's unique needs. I attempt to build upon strengths to instill hope and bring about change. I assist individuals to find meaning in the midst of life's challenges. I believe that with hard work and persistence, change is possible. My ideal client would include individuals seeking assistance for addictions, depression, anxiety disorders, stress management, trauma, self-esteem, anger management, couples counseling, family counseling, and integrating spiritual issues in counseling.

Are you unhappy and wondering if your marriage is part of the problem? Are you and your partner arguing about the same issues without getting anyplace? Do you worry that you and your spouse are drifting apart? Are you avoiding conversations about "sensitive" issues? Are you or your partner beginning to drink to relieve tension? Are you wondering what's happened to the fun and friendship, to the love and affection you once felt for each other? Do you sometimes wonder if you might have married the wrong person? These are signs that your marriage needs help.

Please check out my website, SexTherapistAtl.com. I am a certified sex therapist and licensed marriage and family therapist . Are you experiencing a decline in sexual satisfaction or pleasure? Do you and your partner have different sexual preferences? Are you a consensual non-monogamist or exploring CNM and looking for a supportive space to talk?

Building on over 20 years of nonprofit social work with older adults and families, I am committed to a clinical practice that focuses on serving this unique population. I believe that growing older is a process of continual growth and that seeking therapy as a part of that growth is good for your health, your relationships, and your life. In my work with family caregivers, I provide critical emotional and practical support to help you to better cope with the challenges of supporting an older family member while setting good boundaries and practicing essential self care.

I am a licensed psychologist with 20+ yrs of experience. My practice focuses on working with women at major transition points in their lives. I believe we come into this world with unique gifts that provide a framework for who we are. That framework is further shaped - in both healthy & painful ways - by life experiences with family , peers, loved ones, work, identity, & society. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to understand how we've come to be the person we are today, make peace with the past, recognize our unique gifts, and move into the future with a clearer vision of the life we want to create and how to get there.

“Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.” Does it look like you have it all together on the outside but on the inside your world is slowly falling apart? Are you making the same mistakes in relationships but unable to do something different? Constantly attempting perfectionism but your own needs are often unmet. Feeling stuck and lacking the confidence needed to make the right decisions to change? Struggling between choosing the life you have and the one you want?

Through counseling I help individuals and couples who are struggling through life transitions, such as becoming new parents. If you are feeling hopeless, isolated, or overwhelmed, I will work with you to help you feel like yourself again. As your therapist, I will empower and guide you, in an environment free of judgement, to help you experience personal growth so you can get back to who you want to be. People say that I am a therapist who uses compassion, humor, and directness to help my clients come up with realistic strategies to start feeling better.
