Transpersonal Therapists in Scottdale, GA

Whether you are facing life challenges such as relationship problems, addiction, work concerns, or health issues, you can move through with more elegance and ease. To me therapy is a gift--a gift of opportunity. An opportunity to heal from the past by increasing understanding of it and gleaning from it the gems that it holds. An opportunity to break long-held rigid patterns born of that past and to start consciously creating new, flexible ones. An opportunity to hold hope for a future free from the past that makes the present a time of freedom and choice.

With more than 40 years of experience, I believe that psychotherapy can provide a "safe container," a non-judgmental place, in which clients can confront their issues in complete confidentiality without fear of rejection. There is no blueprint for this process; together we create the path leading to each client's inner wisdom and healing.

I am that trusted confidant that holds your hand while we walk into the darkness and then I guide you to the light as we rejoice in your victory together? Welcome to the domain of healing and transformation. I can assist in bringing you to a level beyond self awareness to a higher order of awareness to connect you to your joy, your potential and your purpose!

During the last 45 plus years, I have provided experiential psychotherapy to children, teens, and adults in individual, couple, family, and group settings. I have given over 800 lectures on the subjects of divorce, parenting, transgender, family play therapy, supervision, learning disabilities, grief, ADHD, play therapy, adolescence, etc. I am a registered play therapist, certified in EMDR, and provide supervision and consultation to other psychotherapists.

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.

Everyone deserves a safe space. Our aim at All-1-Family is to provide a safe space for all persons, but in particular, LGBT+ identified persons in the Atlanta metro area to simply, be.

Love and Connection in life should not be confusing. But there is always a risk when it comes to getting those two critical human relational needs. Many times relationships feel like a dance, and feeling lost with no road map? It can often turn into division or discomfort, but does it always have to be that way? Emotionally Focused Therapy is a proven, evidence-based method that enhances couples' ability to gain Love and Connection through safety and security. And I would love to be that resource, coach, advocate to help partners sustain longevity in their relationship without leading to isolation or further hurt.

Hi! I'm Laura Joplin, LMSW, and my foundational therapeutic philosophy is that we don’t need to be fixed, but seen. I believe that the integration of somatic tools like yoga and meditation with classical talk therapy gives us room to understand this key truth. Sessions with me are a place to land amidst the swirl of life, develop skills for self-regulation and empowerment, form goals and intentions, and receive kind accountability around it all. I show up to session relaxed (comfy pants and flowy clothes!), warm and personable, humorous and acutely aware of the challenging environmental and structural circumstances we all face.

"Real healing can begin only when we finally learn to be present in the places where we have been absent." So many of us find ourselves repeating patterns of behavior we consciously experience a desire to let go of. What keeps us stuck is that we are disconnected from the places within us where our actions come from. My work with clients focuses on uncovering truth, with compassion and without judgment. My approach to therapy centers on the belief that "healing is making whole." Attention is, therefore, given to the whole of the individual: mind, heart, body and soul.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a warm, engaging, collaborative and challenging environment to help you discover your true self and live a balanced life with direction and purpose.

Do you want to live a balanced life and feel happy? Perhaps you are constantly facing obstacles and challenges in your life that are impacting your holistic wellness and authentic relationships. The anxiety and depression can be detrimental. I can help you, guide you, and support you as you process various issues related to your cultural/sexual identity, anxiety related to transitions and relationships, grief, trauma, depression, etc. I can help you gain a deeper insight and self-awareness that will allow you to get closer to your goals, make better decisions, and have a better quality of life in a holistic manner using mindfulness.

Psychotherapy is my second career. I come from a rich background in entrepreneurship and business management which makes me more focused on goal-setting that underpins my action-oriented approach. I work collaboratively with clients to define actionable goals and identify issues (conscious and unconscious) that act as barriers to long term psycho-emotional health. Philosophically, I embrace the idea that individuals often have the answers they seek to difficult questions. The real challenge may be finding the stillness to settle inner conflicts or competing thoughts (expectations, judgments, etc.) long enough to uncover personal truths.

Are you ready for change? Are you ready to live the life you are meant to live? To transform the old self, you have to gain awareness. I want you to get to know all your parts and to shine a light on the shadows that hold you back, I know you can heal your life when you make that decision and have focused discipline to take action to discover your greatness. Don't know where to start? We will start right where you are today. I use the Enneagram, Ayurveda, and Internal Family Systems along with honesty to get you on track. I will show you how you can heal and become whole again. You really can have what you want.

Each one of us has something very special within us that can help us heal from our emotional wounds, traumas and lead us to a more fulfilling and joyful life. When we begin to listen inward and trust our deepest knowing, we can open ourselves to truth and self-love and live from a more authentic and integrated place. I am here tp facilitate your journey with compassion and support as you navigate the path to healing and wholeness.

Hi! I'm honored you are here and look forward to working with you! My goal as a therapist and a coach (theracoach) is to help individuals, couples, and families break dysfunctional belief patterns, limiting beliefs, generational dysfunction, and unproductive mental stumbling blocks. These things impede positive growth and contribution to your lives and society and the purpose God has seeded in you. I do this by journeying with clients in discovering how thoughts, external influences, and behaviors influence their lives. (I only available to GA residents for virtual psychotherapy but open outside of GA for coaching).

I believe in the power of therapy to transform, heal and reprogram so that you can lead a full life. Are you having trouble being who you want to be in your relationships? Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Are you desperate for relief from past trauma? I am committed to providing a compassionate space for you to be heard in order to explore old hurts, navigate present difficulties, and find relief from emotional pain and anxiety. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that access both conscious and subconscious issues.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist in Decatur, Georgia. I work with individuals, couples and families. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. EFT enables couples to heal painful cycles of hurt and distress and to regain feelings of closeness, safety and connection to one another. Working individually, I utilize the integration of attachment theory, humanistic psychology and mindfulness to help clients heal and transcend difficult feelings, relationships and painful experiences. The essence of my work is to embrace and value the uniqueness of each person as they enter a process of self-discovery and healing.

You're feeling disconnected, like life as you're living it has lost purpose and meaning. It's even hard to name the exact discomfort and pain. Life might look successful on the surface, but you know something feels off. Depressed, anxious, or going through normal turmoil during unprecedented collective change? You just know the way you move through the world isn't working anymore. You're ready to reconnect with who you know yourself to be. Together, we'll listen deeply to what eludes you. Making space for life—as it is in the here and now—opens a door toward a future full of vibrant possibilities, gently waiting for you to arrive.

Reasons for seeking psychotherapy are diverse and varied. Perhaps you are struggling to find purpose and meaning given the uncertainty of the future. Or you might find yourself in a life transition that feels destabilizing and groundless. You may be confronting relational patterns that are unhelpful or disruptive, or you may need support navigating the complexities of friendship or family belonging. Perhaps you are simply seeking someone to walk with you while you confront the nuances of being human. Whatever brings you here today is worthy of support and respect.
