Humanistic Therapists in 30312
Clients come with stress, confusion, challenge, frustration, and pain. Also, courage, wisdom, intent, and innate capability. Whether unfamiliar or well-known, new or longstanding, these experiences often signal growth. In psychotherapy, activating this growth involves vulnerability, learning and healing. With a humanistic and experiential approach, I offer nurturing, pluralistic psychotherapy to adults. Personality, relationship, mood, mind-body are special areas of experience and interest. Joining my clients wherever they are in life, offering a warm guiding light, is a privilege.

So many times in life we struggle with the "everyday things" that can at times feel much more than we are equipped to handle. Have you been struggling with self-esteem or self-worth? Navigating how you show up in the relationships around you? Trying to keep a handle on this thing called life and just wishing that there was some sort of answer key that could tell you if you were on the right track? Being able to move through life unapologetically is the ultimate goal for many of us; I want to help you identify your voice, find your truth and stand in it boldly!

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 9 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help others since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That be said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

We are capable of far more than we realize. Often, we limit ourselves through worn out narratives surrounding shameful experiences and perceived faults. What we need is a new perspective and ways to rewrite our stories that empower us to move forward with purpose. I work with teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and challenging life transitions, amongst other issues. I support clients to build inner resources, gain self-compassion, and become empowered individuals.

My practice primarily focuses on helping people who struggle in relationships. I use attachment theory to identify the type of dysfunction/trauma you adapted to early in life. These adaptations often create dysfunction or dissatisfaction in your relationships as an adult. We focus on how you attach to partners, peers, work, and yourself in ways that reflect your past and work on changing them in the present.

I specialize in guiding adolescents, young adults, and women through the intricate process of healing their relationship with both their minds and bodies. Central to my approach is the belief that our early childhood experiences shape the “template” through which we experience life and relationships. I blend together client-centered therapy, attachment theory, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, all viewed through a trauma-informed lens. I advocate for a holistic healing journey that addresses the mind, body, and spirit, and find incorporating somatic interventions profoundly healing for the nervous system.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping people navigate challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, and healing from attachment trauma. I especially love working with those who feel disconnected from their current lives and are exploring their identity and purpose. Many of my clients realize they need change but don't know where to start. They often have struggled with anxiety, burnout, and relational trauma, leading to repetitive painful patterns and isolation. These patterns, once protective, now cause pain and suffering. I have an affinity for working with LGBTQ+ folks and those living nontraditional paths.

Mental, physical and emotional distress often contain important clues to imbalance in your life. Learning to listen to yourself, with the active support of a trusted therapeutic relationship, can help you to become unstuck and live with greater ease. With this support, you are able to understand the interplay of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that contribute to the distress in your life. You begin to find hope when recognizable patterns emerge. Hope grows when these patterns are understood and accepted in the context of your past experiences. Change occurs with ongoing feedback, practice and encouragement.

You are smart and resourceful, but your emotional difficulties and insecurities have proven to be more stubborn than other problems you've faced. Despite learning a lot about yourself through self-inquiry, reading, and prior experiences with therapy, you have once again come to the point of feeling stuck. You may feel like you are falling short of your potential. You may be exhausted yet too stressed out to rest. You may be too burnt out to work - almost as if you are broken. You may be experiencing intense feelings without obvious cause. Or maybe your relationship or parenting situation is so high-conflict that you feel hopeless.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
