Child Therapists in Dunwoody, GA

PLEASE NOTE: OFFERING BOTH IN-PERSON AND ONLINE SESSIONS. Therapy is an investment of time, energy and money. When done well, the results can be life-changing. Having had decades of experience working with individuals and families in Atlanta, I'm in a unique position to help you discover and implement the solutions you need. Pulling from a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, I'm able to serve many different clients. I use creative methods to engage clients under 11. Combining experience and specialized training, I can help you work through personal issues and maintain more satisfying family and personal relationships.

As a child and adolescent therapist, I acknowledge the joys and the challenges we as parents often experience. By working with children and their parents as a family system, there is an increase in the overall efficacy of treatment. Often, many of our struggles as a family stem from our ability to fully understand each others' experiences and view points. Learning to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions, and be more mindful in our every day lives can drastically improve our personal and familial experiences.

*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children * We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.
