Therapists in Grayson, GA

We all experience challenges in our daily lives; working, dating, raising children, marriage, communication, spirituality, education. Difficulties in these areas of life need not become debilitating or lead to the destruction of caring relationships. The most difficult challenge is taking the first step to ask for help. You have the answers, you just need help unlocking those answers. Let me help.

My name is Dr. Alexander Kohl and I have over ten years experience working with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I received my PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment so my clients feel safe and heard while discussing difficult issues. I believe in treating the whole individual, not just their symptoms, and will work with you to determine realistic and achievable goals. One of the most important aspects about therapy is that you find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and can trust. I hope I can help you along this process!

I've had a diverse background in business, professional sports, corporate training, management consulting, the chaplaincy, bariatrics, pain management, addiction, psychophysiology, behavioral medicine, neurofeedback and photobiomodulation. Harville Hendrix of "Getting the Love You Want" was my supervisor for 8 years. Hence, I truly enjoy a wide range of issues and personalities. I'm compassionate but direct in my style and often described as "Dr. Phil, with a heart". No therapist has your answers, but if we ask the right questions, in the context of genuine care, safety, and respect, you will discover your truth and find your way.

When you're struggling with life-controlling problems, it's important to get the help that you need. I specialize in working with men from all backgrounds. I provide clients with a full range of therapy options as well as affordable fees. Your mental health and wellness begins by you taking the first step. Call me and we can begin your road to recovery today. I offer years of real world experiences outside of the therapist's consultation room. I have worked with all sorts men from adolescents to business professionals, medical professionals, lawyers, small business owners, young career seekers and senior statesmen.

My ideal client is an individual adult, or someone in a relationship having problems they want to resolve. I don't choose my clients, they choose me. With over 40 years of experience as a licensed independent psychologist, I continue to love what I do just as much or more than when I began my career. I am not just a "how does that make you feel" kind of therapist. I will challenge, confront and engage when necessary when I feel doing so will get you to where you said you wanted to go when you came for help.

We all seek safety, health and happiness in our lives, sometimes supported by, and other times challenged by, our life experiences, relationships and larger environment. Life often provides many resources for safety, health and happiness. When our connection with these resources is somehow block or reduced, we can use a supportive, caring relationship to find our way through worries, depression, dependencies, grief, low self-esteem, relationship disturbances, and spiritual struggles.

I am an experienced, effective professional working with clients to help clear away that which obscures clarity. Grounded in the belief that people inherently possess the knowledge and ability needed, they may need help to break through the emotional and cognitive defenses that block them from moving forward. I have a strong affinity for working with 20-somethings and men who are having life and relationship challenges. I create a safe, comfortable, & non-judgmental environment for exploration, insight, and change! Client ages 18+ preferred.
