"HEALING, TRANSFORMATION and ultimately MANIFESTATION!!!" is my motto. I want every individual I work with to define their power in the world by overcoming and expanding from any barriers to PERSONAL GROWTH! I work with adults on parenting issues, domestic violence, past trauma, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress and depression. I work with children/adolescents in areas of trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger issues, depression, LGBTQ issues, grief/bereavement, and abuse. I work with couples/families to remove any ongoing barriers and assist with fostering ongoing healthy communication with all members of the family.

You are ready to make some positive changes in your life, but not sure where to start. Perhaps you feel stuck in your relationships, or are going through a transition. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and want to learn to manage them better, develop new coping skills, feel more in control of your life. You wonder, when did it all get so complicated? Or maybe you are a parent and very worried about your child. You want to be the one to help them, but at a loss as to how, and you would like to find someone they can trust and connect with, open up to, and also help guide you in parenting them through these hard times.

Counseling is provided in a supportive atmosphere to find new solutions with the issues you are struggling with. Professional counseling is provided to assist individuals with relationships, diminish stress, and to achieve clarity and confidence about goals and personal desires. Helping clients reach their potential in pursuits that they feel is important is a priority. Each individual is given care and attention to begin to understand the reasons that have led to current difficulties. Goals are established collaboratively to achieve relief and lasting change.

I am licensed both as a Psychologist and as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I bring a diverse range of experience as well as a compassionate presence to my work with individuals, couples and families. My first priority is to understand the nature of individual and/or relationship distress in order to help you decide on a plan of treatment that makes the most sense to you.

If it seems like each day your relationship consists of constant arguing or walking on eggshells. It feels like a never-ending cycle you two just can’t break. Or maybe you’re no longer in the storm, but you don’t recognize your reflection in the mirror. You feel defeated, lost – unsure how to handle any of it. But there is hope. I support couples that are ready to do the work. As a Level 3 Gottman trained therapist I have realistic tools that break the negative cycles and unearth the root of your problems.

Engaging in counseling is a healthy commitment. It is imperative to find the right fit for yourself, one who can best understand your issues. As a past staff member at Peachford, Ridgeview, and Emory Hospitals, my training focuses on trauma, difficult transitions, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and depression. My goal is to serve those desiring long-term healing. Specializing in teens, college-age, and adults who suffer from negative thoughts, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, divorce, and parental alienation from narcissism. I am a supervisor for those working on their licensure and desiring training.

I work to promote and support happiness, growth, positive change, and healing with children, individuals and families. I am dedicated to providing ethical, effective and caring professional psychology services. After gathering thorough background information on each client, I help the client to develop an individual treatment plan specifically designed to meet their needs and goals. Through the course of therapy, self-understanding develops, leading to increased opportunities for meaningful interpersonal relationships and self-love. In turn, this positive growth allows for healthier life choices.

My theoretical orientation is a combination of Person Centered as well as Solution Focused. These theoretical orientations allow me to focus on each person individually while finding a solution that is strictly based on their specific needs. While doing so, I can build from here and develop a treatment plan which may allow me to utilize other forms of therapy based on the clients needs.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with how hard life can be? We all struggle with the daily pressures of life, including anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. I believe I can help! Therapy can help you adjust, and hopefully even thrive during these unprecedented times. I offer a Faith-based approach to my counseling work. I enjoy working with individuals (including adolescents) as well as couples, both for marital therapy and premarital counseling. I want to help you foster deeper connections in your relationships and I know counseling can help you achieve that. Let's begin this important work as soon as possible!

As a therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for anyone who seeks insight, balance and growth at their current stage in life. I work with those who may feel stuck during a life transition, coping with a strained relationship, or battling inner thoughts while struggling with their self esteem. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, as I focus on supporting my clients with psychoeducation and coping strategies that fit specific needs.

I am passionate about helping parents get to the root of the challenges they are facing with their children.

Roswell Counseling for Children and Adults started out as a solo private practice by Dr. D. Craig Kerley, PsyD, in 2003. For more information, visit our website at www.roswelltherapy.com.

“Often when we are breaking down, we are really breaking open. It is my hope to hold space with you during your time of transformation and healing.” My approach is to create a safe, trusting, judgment-free therapeutic environment to bring your struggle into the therapy room real-time. I will work with you to create and shape an outcome that aligns with your life’s values, goals and direction. I hold an interest in existential, humanistic, person-centered, “here and now”, experiential and mindfulness-based therapy styles.

I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home. It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing. I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey.

Are you looking for change? I would be honored to be on this journey with you. By offering you a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings you will gain insight, discover your strengths, learn strategies and techniques to effectively cope with depression, anxiety, sadness, grief/loss, resentment, relationship struggles, career issues and self confidence.

Have you ever struggled with answering, “Who are you?” or “What do you do?”? With over 15 years of counseling students and adults through life’s transitions, I recognize the importance of seeking and defining one’s identity and purpose in life. My goal in counseling, using a holistic and psychoeducational approach, is to help you gain insight and empower you to take steps to reach your fullest potential.
