Grief Therapists in Druid Hills, Atlanta, GA

Hello, I am Jocelyn Evans-Shaw. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents to assist them in achieving a sense of health and wholeness. I work with clients addressing issues including, but not limited to, trauma, relationship stressors, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions such as marriage, divorce, and career change. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions and techniques, and my primary philosophy of psychotherapy is an attachment-based approach emphasizing increased resilience and self-awareness.

Through an integrative approach that includes behavioral and art techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to explore their beliefs, emotions, and patterns of behavior. I work with clients and their systems to identify goals, encouraging them to take an active role in their therapy. I received a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Furman University in 2009 and a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State in 2011. I became a counselor to assist people in finding and using their voices; I'm motivated to help others feel seen and heard.

I enjoy working with many types of people and the challenges they are having. The areas of grief and trauma, including the secondary effects, such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship/trust issues,self-medicating and stagnation are my specialties. I use an eclectic approach to working with my clients, meaning that I like to employ many different styles of counseling into sessions. I approach issues honestly, openly and directly. I have been described as warm, genuine, easy to talk to and dedicated. I view every client in a holistic way. Rather than asking "what's wrong with you?" I ask "what have you been through?"

I am a Georgia licensed clinical social worker providing holistic therapy to adults, through individual therapy and group therapy. I practice within a proactive compassionate teamwork based model. If you are ready to jump in, I am right here to jump in with you. This may include homework between sessions and other ways to continue toward your goals in and out of the therapy office. Our connection and team-spiritedness is the foundation of our work together. I promise to always treat you with kindness, compassion, respect, cultural competency and unconditional positive regard.

I form a therapeutic relationship with my clients to help them deal with the issues they present. I draw on my years of experience and training to create the most effective treatment. Most of my clients experience relief within weeks of beginning therapy. Depending on the depth of the issues presented therapy can last a few months to a few years. Trust is the foundation and insight the main tool to create positive and long lasting change. I work with my clients to find what is best for them and support them in making the changes they want.

I view my role in the therapeutic relationship as the coach. I am here to coach you through life's challenges and problems as well as celebrate along with you in your accomplishments and victories.

Have you ever found yourself moving through life, disconnected from who you feel you are or confused about what step to take next in your journey? As a therapist, I work to provide a safe space to be heard and get back in touch with the deeper part of your authentic self. I have a passion for working with teens and adults of all ages navigating life transitions or new experiences, often under significant pressure. Whether your pain is anxiety, grief, or just general stress, I can walk with you along your path of healing.

I am licensed in Georgia & Utah and have over ten years of experience working with children, adults, and families. My primary focuses include grief and loss, life stage changes, depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma & abuse. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and have experience with diversity in regards to gender, race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. I find that people who feel that I am a good match for them have a desire to begin to strengthen their internal sense of self and strength and are eager to begin their journey to a higher level of self-actualization.

"Life is so stressful right now - I wish I had a safe, emotionally-neutral space to process it all!" Does this sound like you? Hi there, I'm Lauren. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life challenges, including illness, grief, caregiving issues, and how they impact you and your relationships. I partner with my clients and explore how the various aspects of their lives intersect - including work, relationships, and their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Some life challenges are unavoidable - let's talk about how you can navigate them better.

Hi, there! Thanks for visiting my page. Sometimes we may encounter times when it is hard for us to stay attuned to our authentic needs and wants. That’s where I come in - to help facilitate a process of change for my clients, by walking alongside them. I believe that everyone’s mental health is fluid and impacted by our environments and relationships. My goal is to encourage and support optimal mental health functioning and provide clients with an exploratory and safe space to delve deeper into self-understanding, acceptance, and love. My office is conveniently located in downtown Decatur.

We are in this together! As your therapist I am a part of your team- working towards healing and peace. I genuinely care about my clients and will consider it a privilege to work with you.

Life often seems to move so quickly, barely allowing a chance to take in all that we have experienced. Especially in times of change or intense grief, you may want a space to process your experiences-both the mundane moments and major life-changing events-in order to understand what is going on inside. Therapy can be the perfect space to sort through your experiences, search for meaning and understanding, and discern the path forward that is right for you.

I am a trauma-informed provider who supports couples and individuals navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

I specialize in treating healthcare professionals who are struggling with trauma, grief, depression, burnout, impostor syndrome, moral injury, or a combination of symptoms. I have had the privilege of working with people all along their mental health journey. Wherever you are in your distress, I can meet you there to continue your progress towards recovery.

If you experience frequent obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anxiety, depressed feelings or you feel, you and your spouse are growing apart in your relationship, it can cause severe distress and disruption in daily life, affecting your well-being. Making choices and finding meaning in life may have become difficult. In my private practice, I focus on individual treatment and couples counseling. I like to offer a strength-based and person-centered approach. In a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will work together for you to reach your goals for therapy and learn how to use your strengths towards healing and personal growth.

Since you are here, you may want change in your life, relief, and healing. Wanting more for yourself is adaptive. Seeking help is healthy. By reaching out for support, you are bringing yourself closer to the relief and change that you desire. I use an integrative approach to therapy to help people harness adaptive parts of themselves in the service of letting go of unhelpful, self-destructive, and repetitive behaviors and achieving relief, happiness, and lasting change. This occurs within a collaborative, empowering, and respectful relationship between us that involves authentic compassion, warmth, transparency, and nonjudgment.

I'm grateful for your courage to seek help. I care deeply about helping people address their concerns while offering respect, safety and compassion. I view therapy as an opportunity to use your strengths and resources in order to increase your overall health and life satisfaction. We will collaborate to alleviate distressing experiences in the present and gain insight into where these difficulties originated. Throughout, I will meet you with integrity and culturally-responsive care.

I work with individuals ages 14+ experiencing a myriad of clinical concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, and grief. Additionally, I have a passion for working with individuals overcoming complex trauma as well as sexual abuse. Some of my other clinical experiences include working with substance use, HIV/AIDS, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation. Many of my clients are seeking out culturally sensitive care where their identities are given the space to be seen and heard. During our time together we will work on building awareness of thought patterns, beliefs, and narratives that no longer serve you. I believe w
