Therapists in Decatur, GA

Relationships are hard, and connection is possible. Sometimes how we cope with pain and stress become the source of more pain and stress. We repeat patterns in relationships, seek escape in negative behaviors, or generally feel stuck. Often these behaviors are responses to past trauma or to a narrative we tell ourselves. Identifying these patterns and knowing where to start is difficult and rewarding work. Engaging in therapy will help you address concerns and trauma, reduce worry and anxiety, decrease depression and sadness and cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and your environment.

I have worked on the field of psychology for more than 20 years, first as an undergraduate student in University of Havana, Cuba, then Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain and finally in Atlanta, Georgia, where I completed my internship and postdoctoral studies at Emory University. As part of my training and the last 11 years in private practice, I have had the privilege of working with very diverse and culturally different populations. This has given me the opportunity to see human experience from a much broader and deeper perspective. I have served the Hispanic community since 2008. I am licensed in Georgia and Florida.

Hello! I am located in Atlanta, Georgia, but provide telehealth in MD, VA, FL, WV, & NC. I specialize in working with children, teens, families, and adult individuals who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, or have experienced trauma. I have extensive experience supporting the adoption triad, and LGBTQ+ kids, families, and individuals. Rather than have a “one size fits all” perspective, I use a blend of treatment approaches to meet each client’s individual needs including play therapy, mindfulness and body-based work, CBT, ERP, EMDR, attachment and trauma-informed approaches.

Hi! I'm Laura Joplin, LMSW, and my foundational therapeutic philosophy is that we don’t need to be fixed, but seen. I believe that the integration of somatic tools like yoga and meditation with classical talk therapy gives us room to understand this key truth. Sessions with me are a place to land amidst the swirl of life, develop skills for self-regulation and empowerment, form goals and intentions, and receive kind accountability around it all. I show up to session relaxed (comfy pants and flowy clothes!), warm and personable, humorous and acutely aware of the challenging environmental and structural circumstances we all face.

We are capable of far more than we realize. Often, we limit ourselves through worn out narratives surrounding shameful experiences and perceived faults. What we need is a new perspective and ways to rewrite our stories that empower us to move forward with purpose. I work with teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and challenging life transitions, amongst other issues. I support clients to build inner resources, gain self-compassion, and become empowered individuals.

You are struggling to feel connected to yourself and your loved ones, have difficulty managing the different aspects of your life or are experiencing a hard time coping with past events. You seem to have trouble recognizing who you are today, feel like your emotions are overwhelming and are missing a sense of peace. One thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to find the clarity and confidence in your decision making and move through life with more ease. Most of all, you’re ready to find joy and acceptance in the day-to-day again. You’re ready for a new “normal”, and I can help you get there.

I am an Anxiety, OCD and Trauma specialist. When clients come to work with me they are often struggling with fear of the unknown, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, behavioral and mental compulsions, negative intrusive thoughts and other such patterns that are taking them deeper into the fear spiral. In therapy, I support my clients in developing a kinder relationship with themselves while becoming more conscious of the negative coping patterns that are holding them in cycles of pain. We work on shifting this while also developing the positive coping skills needed to move towards a healthier, freer and more joyful life.

I have a broad range of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, grief and loss and navigating life transitions. Recognizing the courage and vulnerability it takes to enter into a therapeutic relationship, I make every effort to create a comfortable, safe space that makes each individual feel genuinely seen, heard and understood. I practice from a place of openness and curiosity. That means I don’t make assumptions and I don’t have one set, structured approach. With solution-focused techniques and a person-centered philosophy, I empower clients to overcome challenges using their own unique strengths.

My name is Dakota and I provide teletherapy in both the states of Georgia and Florida -- Finding our way through life’s journey can become overwhelming at times. We may reach stages where we feel out-of-touch, out-of-place, and out-of-sync. One method of addressing these bumps on our path is recalibrating how we understand ourselves and others. Learning new ways of handling and adapting to all of life’s changes can be revitalizing. I would be excited to be there with you on your path as a co-journeyer and as a provider of objective, researched-based counseling.

My approach to counseling is a collaborative effort between my client and myself to work towards goals that align with the client's values, beliefs and aspirations. I utilize mindfulness based cognitive therapy to help my clients set specific and achievable goals while teaching techniques and coping mechanisms to relieve the client's current symptoms. I provide counseling from a multicultural lens based in my experience as a biracial woman with an immigrant parent. I'm also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and have worked extensively with people coping with disabling and chronic conditions.
