Self-Harming Therapists in 30067

*Intensively Trained DBT Therapist* Deciding to begin therapy can be an anxiety provoking decision. That is why I provide an ease about coming to therapy and attempt to make my clients feel comfortable beginning this process. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults helping them get through difficult transitions in their lives. I do a lot of work challenging people to explore their aggression, self-harming behaviors, drugs and alcohol use, suicidal ideations, depression and anxiety. I also enjoy working with adults dealing with life transitions and helping them improve their moods and perspectives on life.

KEEP CALM and THINK POSITIVE! As your therapist, I want to help you realize that you have the tools to do just that! I offer a comfortable, safe environment for you to address the issues and concerns that may be preventing you from living your best life. My goal is to encourage, empower and inspire you to discover your strength and begin the journey toward whole health and happiness.

I specialize in working with people who are experiencing increased anxiety and stress, struggling with panic and responses to past trauma, and navigating daily-life with obsessions and compulsions. I know that awareness brings change. One of the greatest tasks then for therapy is to gain insight and understanding as to what leads to feeling sad and anxious. So often our first desire is to get rid of these experiences, but as we demonstrate the courage to understand and accept all parts of ourselves, we gain access to clarity, harmony, and peace that is often missing in life.

I want to offer you more than traditional talk therapy, I want to offer you a space to find an inner connection with your mind, body, and soul through exploring emotions, sensations, dreams and the things left unspoken. Sometimes if we skip over our emotions, our bodies will express them through symptomology, and navigating immune sensitivities is complicated. My hope is that the therapy room becomes an experiential space where you hash out what it feels like to engage in safety, connection, resonating with another person. We can navigate this through somatic based EMDR, applied polyvagal, somatic experiencing.

I am committed to helping you realize your true potential that moves you forward. I bring 10 years experience working with teens and adults in residential (a live-in facility that provides long-term treatment and 24-hour supervision) and community settings. I have experience working with severe disorders such as Bi-Polar Disorder, Borderline, Schizophrenia, Depression, and PTSD. I primarily use CBT and DBT to challenge your thinking and teach you new skills to replace behaviors that no longer serve you. Be prepared to be pushed into areas you may normally avoid or have your beliefs examined to determine if they serve you currently.

I believe therapy works best when the therapist and client work together to identify, understand, and work through the issues in their lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who studied at Brenau University. I work with adolescents, teenagers, and young adults. I'm passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. I believe in partnering with my clients to assist them in understanding their emotions and behaviors. I am trained in cognitive behavioral techniques, and I like to use creative interventions in addition to open dialogues in session to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all of my clients.

My ideal client is one who is motivated to be honest with themself (and me) and be willing to make life changes. They would be willing to take a look at how their thinking is affecting their moods and be open to guidance as to how to FEEL better.

I am pretty traditional in my beliefs about the purpose of therapy, but not your traditional therapist.I do not sit with a notebook and write down everything you say with a hmm at the end before I collect my fee.I am interactive and even directive sometimes. I guess that's why I work well with teenagers:) So, if you want therapy to be fun, I'm your gal. My specialty area has been adolescents and addiction for over 30 years, but I see adults too (codependence, divorce, parent alienation) etc. I am also a past President of LPCA, and operate a new virtual business called ProjectEvolve.com. It is an alternative to social media for kids.

Are you feeling frustrated & lost with everything that is going on in the world? Do you want to move forward and feel stuck? I believe every person should be able to live life to the fullest! However, negative life events, trauma, relationships and we, ourselves often get in the way of our happiness, peace and reaching our goals. I have been able to help people "get their lives back." I assist teens and adults with trauma, anxiety, addiction, relational issues, problems with family communication, and more. I want to offer hope, assistance, and empowerment as a result of working together to achieve these goals (EMDR therapist).

So much of how we see ourselves and the world is based on the beliefs we hold closely, sometimes unknowingly. These beliefs are developed and emphasized over time, feeling more and more like solid truth. All too often, these beliefs are not only untrue, they are harmful to our mental health and perception of who we are and what we're worth. I am dedicated to walking with you as you come to identify, understand and work through those beliefs to move toward self-compassion and growth. I am passionate about helping you to grow in self-awareness surrounding your emotions, relationships and ability to make changes within yourself.

It takes courage to reach out and I am here to support and empower you. I want to help clients feel more affirmed, heard, and I want to provide a safe and open space to discuss issues. I hope clients leave feeling more encouraged, motivated, and relieved to take on life's issues.

Let's be real, the idea of therapy can be overwhelming, intimidating and uncomfortable. You might've even contemplated finding a therapist. But look at you, on my page searching for that person to make you feel at ease to begin this journey. That’s why I pride myself on creating a safe place to feel understood, seen and heard. Sitting in my office, the goal is connection. Picture a judgment free zone. An environment where you can unload. Maybe even leave thinking “she gets me.” My hope is to come alongside and guide you. Trying to navigate life's ups and down can be exhausting when you're doing it alone. That's where I come in.
