Therapists in Lithonia, GA

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.

Your peace of mind is priority. Whether it's depression, low self-esteem, anxiety - whatever gets in the way of your peace, let me walk through it with you. You're not alone, & it is my desire to help you find the peace of mind we all need & deserve. I've spent many years learning about the evidence-based (scientific) approaches that lead to wellness. To be honest, I've spent many years practicing what I preach, & have learned to manage my own anxiety using a few of the techniques. I would be honored to learn about you & what you've survived. I would also be honored to give you the tools to rebuild your mental health.

I am a counselor who specializes in helping clients achieve their goals. I offer a judgment-free, unconventional approach to counseling as I believe therapy should be tailored to the person asking for help. I firmly believe everyone does things in their own unique way and time so honing in on self-identified strengths assists me with helping clients improve upon what they may consider their "challenges". I also assist my clients with getting in tune with those hidden strengths they may be unaware of. The hardest part of therapy is getting started. Book a session and take a chance. It is the only way to be the change you wish to see.

For you, therapy is a mirror which allows you to see the best in you as well. Clinically, through the utilization of various evidenced-based clinical modalities, your wholeness, happiness, and peace is attainable. Through therapeutic insight, self-approval, heightened perspective, and authoritative self-shifting, your desire to be the best you is truly possible. It is the aligning of effective therapy approaches, safe and secure emotional refuge, and strength based collaboration that I am certain that your best life experiences can be realized.

Feeling overwhelmed? Do not know exactly where to start? Does life seem unfair or not fun anymore? "The stresses of it all" seem overbearing, does it appear that you have it all together but on the inside, you feel that you may be falling apart. If you have become everything to everyone except yourself and may have lost who you really are or who you would like to become. Life's opportunities come in different packaging and presentations; however, our choices, and how we manage our choices matter the most. At Healthy Life Choices, GA I work with you from right where you are inside of your journey.

I am Michelle King. I am a clinical social worker in both states of Georgia and Vermont. I work from a positive psychotherapy framework. Therapy is in pursuit of change and that is an active pursuit and not passive so, we will work together during sessions. My goal is for you to leave the session having an understanding, a clear mind, and a plan. I am a positive psychotherapist that approaches treatment with kindness, compassion, and no judgment. My goal in sessions is for you to be able to trust and speak freely while processing and coming up with a plan. My desire is to help.

I am a trained mental health therapist currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Psychology.

Hi! I'm glad you found your way here. Reaching out can be difficult. Often filled with anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. I've been there. Along the way, I've experienced how essential it is to talk with someone eager to listen deeply, respond compassionately, and support journeys of healing in creative and thoughtful ways. Whether you're facing a point of challenge, a period of crisis, or a chronic issue, I welcome the opportunity to bring my experience and training alongside your experience, values, and goals. Together, we can make something decent of this strange, messy, and perhaps even beautiful world.

I welcome and encourage you to discover the path to your best life. With over 30 years of successful clinical work, I team up with adults, college and senior high students, to help my clients reclaim their power from the problems that have disrupted their lives and relationships. Creating a comfortable healing space, I use Narrative, Strength-focused, Cognitive, and Mindfulness therapies and employ curiosity, humor, and pragmatic dialogue to inspire meaningful insight.
