Therapists in Sandy Springs, GA

Grounded in experiential and existential orientations, I work to understand the meaning you make of life. I walk with you to help identify purpose, values, and behaviors to live more authentically and deliberately. I foster a supportive, interpersonal therapeutic relationship, and my holistic approach taps into the body's innate wisdom to promote adaptive responses and facilitate healing. By choosing to move through discomfort--a normal and healthy response to life's uncertainties--you expand opportunities for growth. My prior career in business and technology enables me to understand the unique demands of corporate professionals.

Connection & Sense of Belonging: We all want to be accepted and know we matter. Challenging life experiences disrupt these connections and leave you feeling isolated and alone. My first priority is creating a meaningful relationship through respect and non-judgement by listen to your story and what brings you to seek support and guidance. People I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, and often have negative core beliefs from past experiences that inform present decisions and actions. I help people find relief and re-define beliefs in a more positive direction.

Therapeutically, my goal is to create a warm, kind and safe environment where my clients can achieve growth and balance. I endeavor to make the journey valuable and enjoyable, even when it's uncomfortable. I generally work with clients experiencing difficulties with transitions (school, career, etc), becoming a Mother/Parent and all the related, often unspoken changes that accompany this new role, relationship issues, issues of identity (ethnic, sexual), sexual abuse, obtaining & maintaining greater independence from parents or spouse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, social fears, addiction, diversity, divorce, parenting, communication skills, spirituality, growing as a therapist, health & fitness and self development.

As a counselor, I believe that working through issues such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm and compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.

Welcome to a safe place. My goal is to create a calm therapeutic environment, where each person can relax, feel supported and express whatever comes to mind. This is a judgment free zone, where no subject is off limits. I take a non-directive approach and allow you to be the boss. Whether you are wanting to learn about healthy boundaries, are open to understanding your emotional or physical distress and where your belief systems come from, we will work to help you reconnect with yourself, improve interpersonal relationships and enjoy your connection to the world around you.

I am an experienced therapist who has worked with hundreds of individuals and couples, I offer an empathetic, collaborative environment for your journey towards self-improvement and a more fulfilling life. With focus on couples, individuals and family therapy, I can assist you with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, transition, divorce, blended family dynamics, women's issues and more.

Greetings! My name is Georcol Gomillion, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. My approach is rooted in non-judgmental openness using eclectic modalities which foster individuality and autonomy. I'm experienced in working with various demographics, such as teens, adults, and couples. My specific interest is working with women and girls who are survivors of trauma. Although I practice from an eclectic approach, several common methodologies I employ are person-centered, mindfulness-based, narrative, cognitive behavior, and trauma-focused treatment modalities.

My purpose is to create a safe nonjudgemental space for people that struggle with sadness or depression, and or feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety. I am a combat veteran and understand the challenges associated with readjustment to civilian life, and the lasting impact combat can have on an individual and family.

Are you STRESSED OUT, DEPRESSED, ANXIOUS, or ANGRY? Sometimes you just need someone to listen, but it can be hard to get others to understand what you are going through. My role is to reflect to you how you feel and get you to the other side of life's messes. Do you ask yourself why you no longer enjoy things, why you doubt yourself, why you can't sleep, or why you have mood swings? Getting your peace of mind, your self confidence and your voice back is important. Life is HARD and you may feel that you are probably dealing with things that NO ONE could possibly understand. I provide a safe space to talk about ANYTHING.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel that something needs to change. The way you have been handling the challenges of your life may not be working anymore. You don’t need to deal with it on your own. This is what psychotherapy and I are here for. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions, relationships, traumas, losses and issues linked to depression and anxiety. I support my clients as they move closer to the fulfilling life they desire.

Hi, my name is Dr. Jessica Shine! I am caring and passionate about my purpose to help you heal past traumas and navigate through life’s difficult experiences and transitions. I love working with women and growing our therapeutic relationship in a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive environment. I strive to provide you with the necessary tools for your growth and success as your therapist, accountability partner, shoulder to cry on, and cheerleader! I’m here to connect the dots and help you understand how your childhood, family dynamics, intimate relationships, life experiences, and trauma all factor in the life decisions you make.

Psychotherapy is my second career. I come from a rich background in entrepreneurship and business management which makes me more focused on goal-setting that underpins my action-oriented approach. I work collaboratively with clients to define actionable goals and identify issues (conscious and unconscious) that act as barriers to long term psycho-emotional health. Philosophically, I embrace the idea that individuals often have the answers they seek to difficult questions. The real challenge may be finding the stillness to settle inner conflicts or competing thoughts (expectations, judgments, etc.) long enough to uncover personal truths.

Accepting New Clients March 2024 - My approach to therapy is supportive, collaborative and results focused. I work with my clients to develop a personalized plan to identify and attain their goals, increase self-compassion and self-love, bring awareness to unconscious patterns that are no longer serving them, develop coping skills to better face the challenges of their life and help them create more conscious and fulfilling relationships.

El deseo de tener una vida donde sea posible sentirnos cómodos con nosotros mismos y con los que amamos es un sueño compartido por todos. A través del proceso de psicoterapia es posible el procesamiento y sanación de conflictos del presente o pasado que nos han tenido estancados en estados de ansiedad, depresión, indecisión y frustración. Aunque para otros, los traumas sufridos han llevado al deterioro de su autoestima, poder personal y relación interpersonales, la psicoterapia abre la puerta a la esperanza de trabajar por adquirir paz interior y vivir en relaciones interpersonales mas funcionales y duraderas.

Is your life and your behavior impacted by events from the past? That's a very common side effect of trauma. Trauma impacts the ways in which we respond to every day stimulation and can shape our choices in healthy and unhealthy ways. According to research, more than half of men and women have experienced a trauma in their life time and 2 out of 5 women and 1 out of 6 men have experienced sexual trauma. You're not alone in this pain and I would love to help you through it. Using talk therapy combined with EMDR, we will build a safe place for you to process your hurt and be able to unwind what the brain has been holding on to.

My approach toward counseling is to treat each individual based on where they are and meet them where they are comfortable. I have an existential-humanistic approach where I help my clients look beyond their immediate situation and look at how they may have gotten to this issue and where do they want to go from here. I believe that there is a reason for why we are feeling and reacting the way we are. It is about discovering the root cause. Whether my clients are going through a new diagnosis, trauma, grief, depression, or anxiety, I help encourage them to find the strength to keep fighting because perseverance is an amazing feeling.

If you are unhappy with the life you are living, I can help you understand what you can do to get unstuck and live a life of passion and joy. If you are in a relationship pattern and are cycling through the same conversations, I can help you reach each other in new ways. If you are exhausted from the endless loop of things getting a little better and then just returning to the status quo, I can help you find the way to make sustainable progress toward the life you want to live.
