Therapists in Milton, GA

Therapy is one of those worthwhile challenges in life, but it should always help more than it hurts. I believe that each person has the ability to meet their goals inside of them already and I partner with clients to help them to identify their strengths and put them into motion to achieve their goals. I use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and a holistic approach to meet clients right where they are with various planned or unplanned life changes. My goal is to help clients feel supported, safe, and empowered to achieve their goals.

Trauma, stress, grief, betrayal, loneliness, depression, and anxiety all lead to psychological distress which impacts our minds, bodies, and souls. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma and abuse recovery, and grief and loss. Our intimate relationships are crucial in promoting our wellbeing, yet sometimes those relationships become the source of our greatest pain. I also specialize in working with intimate relationship issues including infertility, communication, infidelity, divorce recovery, co-parenting, and blending of families.

I am a board-approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor that offers a safe therapeutic environment for all served. I am licensed in the states of Georgia and Maryland.

Reaching your highest potential begins with intentional and courageous living, even in the midst of significant challenges and disappointments. Yet many often operate from a place of fear and doubt, preventing them from moving toward wholeness, self-confidence and purposeful living. Living courageously from a place of balance, intention, and purpose allows her clients to achieve wellness and reach their highest potential. Tiffany’s passion is creating a supportive, safe place for clients to experience connection and understanding. She explores the fears, perceptions & assumptions her clients have relied on through-out their lives.

My main focus is to help clients identify and build on their personal strengths so they can overcome the obstacles preventing them from realizing their full potential. My first priority when I meet with a client is to collaboratively establish therapy goals and determine what they would like to attain from the counseling process. Based on this information I personalize each session to help my clients achieve their goals. With every interaction, my goal is always the same: that you leave my office feeling that you were heard and validated.

I believe that, at our core, we all desire relationship. Unfortunately, things happen throughout our lives that can make it difficult to connect with others in a healthy way. In our attempt to avoid pain, we protect ourselves in ways that that leave us feeling isolated and alone – the exact opposite of what we want. I believe that when we are aware of what we’re doing and why, we have the power to change. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Welcome to Medallion Therapy, where healing and innovation meet through the convenience of Telehealth services. "A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." This poignant reflection from B.F. Skinner resonates deeply with those grappling with addiction—a challenge that is often misperceived as a string of personal failures rather than the medical condition it truly is. Addiction's complexity can confuse even those closest to us—family and friends who watch helplessly, misconstruing the situation due to its intricate and inconsistent nature.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a challenging season. With changes at home, struggles at school, parenting pitfalls, or increased stress, we can feel uncertain and discouraged. For kids, this can look like increased anxiety, fears, depression, loneliness, and anger. And these BIG feelings can surface as BIG behaviors wreaking havoc at home. As a parent, you need support too - guidance on how to care for your family’s emotional well-being while juggling all, and I mean ALL, the things and taking care of yourself too.

My name is Kirsti and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Athens, Ga. I am the program director at a recovery center from 6am until 1pm and doing private practice in the afternoon. I spent my twenties working in film and television, then spent my thirties working as a birth activist and midwifery advocate.

Do you struggle with stress or unresolved pain from your past that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, and ability to move forward? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or even lost with figuring out what to do with your life because of how different your reality is from what you expected or hoped it would be? Do you feel stuck in the past, and find yourself wondering if things will ever get better? I believe that every person is a work-in-progress and there is hope for you to find peace and healing, no matter where you are on your journey!

Navigating the adolescent years is full of ups and downs for both parents and kids. Your teen or young adult is someone who is high-achieving and bright, but finds themselves dealing with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and comparing themselves to others. They tend to overanalyze, overthink, and their inner voice is too critical. As a parent you’re ready to see your child feel whole again. You’re ready to support them as they navigate change and transition. Most of all, you’re ready for them to see the wonderful gifts they have to offer. I want to help your family get there.
