Positive Psychology Therapists in Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

Contacting a counselor can be intimidating, taking a bold step towards your own healing and health. I wholeheartedly believe that therapy helps people get to where they want to be mentally, interpersonally, and emotionally. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and Clinical Supervisor providing psychotherapy and counseling services to adults, families, and couples. My practice specializes in addressing issues related to anxiety, grief, depression, relationships, and career concerns that keep people from functioning optimally.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and Life Coach with over 30 years of experience, compassionate about helping others to rise above and better deal with their life challenges, both past and present. I had the pleasure of being licensed as a psychologist in Beijing, China and worked with expats from around the globe during my years as an Expat. I have successfully treated PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Family Issues, Eating Disorders, Career-related, and Expat Issues. I've also helped those who have experienced emotional trauma/other abuse. I invite you to not just work on "getting better" instead work on "getting well

A compassion-based coaching practice, I work with Gen Z (18-22), Millennials (22-47), Gen X (47-56), Baby Boomers (57-75), and Traditionalists (75+) using positive psychology to help with life transitions (college, LGBTQ, change of career, unemployment, grief, disability, relationships, abandonment, chronic illness, COVID-19, loss of a loved one/parent/child/spouse, loss of a beloved pet, etc.). Guided meditation/hypnotherapy, custom affirmations and sound therapy (Nepalese & Tibetan singing bowls) are just some of the coping strategies to help people release the past and move toward their future success!

If you've been experiencing grief, anxiety, loneliness, anger, and stress, you are not alone. You are seeking immediate, effective results toward a positive resolution surrounding a life issue. You are reading this because you seek clarity and healing with a sense of urgency and have not been able to make satisfactory progress in some aspect of your life.

Hello, I am Vershonda Scott, LPC, CADC II. I work with adults and couples. I believe that each person can find and create their own path. Life is a journey, and how one chooses to respond to life is what one gets back. But don't worry if how you respond to life is not benefiting you; I can help you deconstruct your old ways of thinking. I have extensive experience working with adults dealing with past trauma, transition/adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, substance abuse, and other life challenges.

I provide a grounding environment for clients who have been in survival mode and are looking to find their authentic self. Many of my clients have learned to cope with challenging relationships, trauma, or stressors by trying to control the uncontrollable or by shutting themselves off from the world around them. I help individuals and couples build awareness and develop skills to help them experience their lives and relationships more fully so that they can feel more connected with themselves and others.

I believe you are the expert in your life. I will work as a guide to help you utilize your strengths so you can experience your current interpersonal/relationship challenges with an emphasis on growth, meaning, and purpose.

Struggling to find balance in your life? Between the demands of school, career, home, and family, it can seem nearly impossible to manage the stress, emotions, and responsibilities that accompany these daily. With CBT and mindfulness-based approaches, living a gratifying life is possible. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, providing skills and helping them integrate these skills into their daily lives to build a life worth living. Finding and maintaining balance is a crux in achieving the life you want to live. Allow me to help you attain your goals.

Thank you for your interest in my profile and congratulations on your decision to seek help. It is my belief that only the courageous seek counseling. Therapy is a process that provides the guidance and tools necessary to make changes; changes which can have a significant and lasting impact on one's life. As a therapist, my approach is to create an environment that is filled with acceptance, empathy, and support in order to help one discover one's strengths, to solve problems, and transform one's life. Just as every fingerprint is unique, so is one's life journey.

As a mental health counselor specializing in counseling for counselors and mental health professionals, I understand the unique challenges that you face in your profession. Just as you provide support and guidance to your clients, I am here to offer the same level of care and understanding to you. Being a counselor can be an emotionally demanding and deeply rewarding calling. It requires immense empathy, resilience, and the ability to hold space for others' pain and struggles. However, it's crucial to remember that even the most compassionate and experienced counselors need support too.

Welcome! I am so encouraged that you are here. I enjoy assisting adolescent and adult women who are struggling with issues related to self-esteem, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, body image, trauma, sexual assault survivors, grief, and relationship issues. I provide client-centered therapy and believe that successful treatment begins with building a strong client-therapist relationship. From this secure base, I can support you in working through pain towards growth and change. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process defined by trust, safety, warmth, empathy, and unconditional acceptance.

What would it look for you to live a life that more closely aligns with your values and potential? Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck as we repeat the same self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. We try to cope with the inevitably uncomfortable feelings that come with being human, but our coping mechanisms just don't seem to work anymore. I want to help you identify those sticking points and cultivate new, healthier ways of coping. In short, I want to to help you feel more alive again.

My ideal client is the person that wants more out of life but may be unsure of how to get it, someone that may be afraid to take that first step, but is willing to let me hold their hand and take a peek into the other side.

Our 21st century lives can be overwhelming. Being human and keeping up with all that entails is not easy, and we shouldn’t have to navigate the hard times alone. Overwhelm, exhaustion, + the pressure of life’s demands create stress and anxiety that takes its toll on our body. Or maybe you just feel unfulfilled, anxious or stuck. It's all real. And I can help.

Looking for support in life? Someone who takes your identity and culture into consideration to provide culturally competent care? I am dedicated to providing support to you in navigating the challenges in life. I love working with adolescents, teenagers, young adults, and their families to support communication, self-esteem, and life transitions. I am experienced in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, college support, life transitions, "adulting," forming healthy relationships/boundary setting, autism, and bullying. I am familiar with working in family counseling supporting and aligning each individual.

I teach people how to trust their feelings & validate their emotions. I don’t teach them how to fix anything or how to feel. They always do that on their own and in due time after BEing heard, seen, and understood. I remind people that their personal struggles will continue until they choose to heal & let go. I inform people that their thinking has gotten them where they currently are so it’s NOT gonna take more of that. They’re going to have to feel their way to personal freedom!

Pathways to Renewal Counseling Center: I believe there are multiple paths to recovery and healing. I am here to support you in your journey to find the path that is best for you to reach your counseling goals by focusing on your strengths.

I work primarily with children, teens, and young adults experiencing stress and anxiety, executive functioning deficits, identity confusion, mood disorders, grief and loss, and life adjustment challenges (i.e. separation/divorce). By providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, clients can effectively express, explore, and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe every client is equipped with a unique set of strengths and skills that can help them overcome adversity. By helping clients rework negative perceptions of events in their lives or of themselves, clients can move to a more regulated state.
