Teletherapy for 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.

I am an Associate Professional Counselor licensed in the state of GA & NY. I am also the owner of Tuyee Holistic Services LLC. My goal is to provide psycho education on mental illness and wellness and to reduce the mental health stigma in our society. Long term or short term, we will work together as a team in your therapeutic journey of self reflection & processing, in order to fully develop the skills that you learn in our sessions to apply in your daily interaction with others and personal development. The work begins when you leave my office and I aim to help you achieve that independence and overall mental health stability.

I believe in a trusting therapeutic relationship to create change. Then we design, create and assemble a toolbox filled with interests, experiences, successes, skills, and reminders to handle the unexpected and difficult parts of life. Since working with children, adolescents, adults, parents and families for over 20 years, my specialties focus on social skills development, interpersonal relationships, verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as understanding and identifying client strengths, beliefs, and passions so that they may gain a toolbox that works for them.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide support to children and families with a variety of presenting concerns. I serve children ages 3-18 and young adults. I provide parent coaching as a Certified Positive Discipline Early Childhood Educator. When clients come to me, they are typically looking to help a child or themselves modify a behavior. I often educate clients that behavior is a form of communication. When we can learn what a maladaptive behavior is trying to communicate, we can work together to find a way to alter it.

Children and Families have been my passion for the duration of my professional career. Specializing in services to Pre-Kindergarten to college seniors, I utilize a strength-based supportive counseling approach to overcome challenges within and outside the family system. As a passionate and impactful School Counselor, I help students and their families navigate their complex worlds to live a knowledge-rich, healthy, happy life. As a mental health professional, I understand the unique nature of individual school culture that supports and sometimes challenges children. I provide non-school-based supportive counseling services.

I am a dedicated therapist who aims to support children, teens, and young adults as they navigate the challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, and various behavioral disorders. I'm deeply committed to understanding each individual's unique journey, and I work collaboratively with them to develop strategies that empower them to thrive. For adults who are newly diagnosed with ADHD or ASD, I provide tailored guidance to navigate this new chapter, offering insights and tools to build a fulfilling life. For my younger clients, I utilize play therapy and creative techniques to build adaptive coping strategies.

In the midst of life's challenges, the profound gift of understanding shine brightest. Have you ever felt misunderstood or unheard? In those moments, seeking help is not just okay, it's a courageous step towards, growth. You, as a human, deserve support tailored to your unique journey. Having navigated the challenging path to therapy, you've already shown incredible strength. Now, let's embark on this transformative journey together. As a compassionate clinical therapist intern under the direct supervision of Dr. Edna Abney, I bring warmth and engagement to our sessions.

I join children, teens, and their parents seeking support related to anxiety, past trauma, emotion regulation, social skills, and self-esteem. My passion is working with kiddos who have big hearts + big feelings. With children ages 3-12, I utilize the therapeutic power of play and creative arts to nurture and enhance wellness. Through developmentally appropriate medium, clients are able to naturally explore, learn, and grow. Parents/caregivers are viewed as an integral part of the therapeutic process and I value openness from those on the "support team."

I believe in the power of stories to inspire and to promote growth and healing. I embrace a wellness model employing the DIR Floortime framework using play (following a person's lead and need) and semi-structured cooperative and collaborative games, to give people the opportunity to see themselves as not just the authors, but the heroes of their own stories, shifting the focus from pathology to potential.
