Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Duluth, GA

At Alan Behrman & Associates, PC we believe in no criticism, no judgement, and no condemnation. I consider it a privilege and honor to join you on your journey to healing, wellness and wholeness. I have several years of experience with serving children, teens, and adults in providing individual, family, couples and group counseling. Through therapeutic excellence and compassionate care, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your life goals of mental and emotional health so that you can be the person you envision and aspire to be.

Are you feeling hopeless, anxious, and having a difficult time coping with current life changes? Feeling depressed and experiencing difficulty identifying and expressing your emotions? Experienced childhood trauma that was never addressed or processed? Allow me to help you navigate and process these things. I believe that early intervention can significantly impact a child in adulthood, and addressing /processing childhood trauma can change your life.

I primarily focus on behavioral change through eliminating negative thinking and behavior. I approach therapy as a positive experience where healing and personal growth can occur.

I treat a variety of issues such as PTSD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, self-esteem issues, substance use, trauma, and behavioral issues. I strive to help children/teens becoming caring, loving, functional adults with a positive self-image and healthy emotional expression. In my work with adolescents, I help them to achieve life goals, build self-esteem, and healthy peer relationships. For adults with substance use I work with the client to find a path to sobriety by treating the underlying cause, using their inner strengths to support them.

Are you feeling stuck in the mud of your daily life? Do you need someone to help you navigate the obstacles and find a path towards a brighter future? Whether you're a hardworking adult juggling too many responsibilities or a teen struggling to overcome life's challenges, I'm here to offer a safe and supportive space where you can feel seen and heard.

I am always thrilled and eager to provide services and support and allow clients to be themselves while seeking the root of their concerns together. I am passionate about assisting others with getting their life back on track while providing security to those most in need during times of difficulty. I thrives on building healthy therapeutic relationships to reach the goals set. "I always look through the lens of my clients and understand that each person's normal looks different. I am not one to judge; instead, I assist in identifying the current issue to promote healthier living .

Do you feel ashamed of how your life is going? Are you embarrassed to openly admit how unhealthy your family dynamics are or how your romantic relationship is going? I'm here for you. We all suffer from some shame at some point in our lives, and I firmly believe that shame makes us feel that we are out of place in society and that others can easily spot us for how damaged, messed up, or flawed we are. That we "stick out like a sore thumb." Perhaps you have tried your minister or rabbi to no avail. Maybe you have shared your struggles with your friends and neighbors, but nothing helped.
