Teletherapy for Atlanta, GA

It’s a new day with endless possibilities, but you feel the dread in the pit of your stomach again. You feel the pressure to live the life you’ve been dreaming of, but you can’t quite figure out what is holding you back. Some areas of your life might feel right on track, while other areas are stressful or chaotic. You are longing to feel content and at peace with who you are. Or maybe you are searching for peace and understanding within your relationship and desiring to feel more connected and valued. You are feeling ready for a change - ready for therapy - ready to have someone who truly hears you and supports you. I am here.

Is there a silent voice telling you that you’re not good enough? Constantly feeling like something is wrong with you? Tired of dealing with anxiety and depression, and never feeling like you are acceptable while assessing your behaviors, thoughts and responses ? Not to mention the triggers and comparisons, where you get thrown into fight or flight mode. Then you feel overwhelmed and stressed... you’re not sleeping well, and now your body is starting to feel tight and heavy. All you know is that you are tired of this cycle and want out!

I am the CEO and Founder of Joie de Vivre Counseling and Therapy. I hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling and have over 14 years of clinical experience. I am passionate about helping women transform how they feel about themselves, their intimate relationships and living a more deeply authentic and meaningful life. Working collaboratively I will assist you in finding your voice, stepping fully into wisdom and empower you to create a life of passion and purpose. For women who struggle with anxiety my approach combines integrative mind-body techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy, and a strengths-based approach.

Navigating the maze of self-worth and acceptance can be challenging. As a Life Coach, I offer a compassionate yet challenging approach, focusing on the pain rather than the problem. I believe in utmost transparency, guiding clients towards accountability and consistency. Many seek me out for guidance in finding lasting fulfillment, meaningful relationships, and self-love, often influenced by unfulfilled familial bonds. I'm here to empower them to embrace their true selves, overcome fears, and confidently pursue their purpose, ensuring they never abandon themselves or their dreams.

Coming from an unstable childhood, I understood the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships. By the time I graduated from high school, I lived in 22 different homes and went to 10 different schools. I would later earn my Bachelors and Masters Degree from South Carolina State University, become a Licensed Professional Counselor, and developed a passion for assisting others with embracing and overcoming adversity and develop a positive mindset for a successful life. I founded Courage & Motivation Psychotherapy and Coaching Inc. in 2009 to create a platform to motivate and elevate clients in the state of GA.

Are you seeking purpose and wholeness? Feeling detached and lost? Do you want to work on your relationship with yourself? Your relationships with others? Are you preparing yourself mentally and emotionally for the relationship you want? Are you redefining who you want to be? During our time together, the focus will be to meet you where you are and create room for you to feel accepted, respected and heard. With your commitment and effort, we can openly explore your sources of joy, fear, pain, and happiness to create realistic goals that honor who you are and who you want to become.

I am a collaborative, solution-focused clinical therapist, I/O psychologist and coach. Through this approach, I provide support, guidance and practical feedback to help clients effectively address life's challenges. It is my mission to provide the highest quality clinical services to promote the emotional and relational potential of all clients. I am committed to the core values of respect, responsiveness, innovation and quality to enhance the unique experience of each individual that I encounter.

I can help you thrive. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience, I can guide you in learning new coping skills, navigating difficult emotions, and improving your relationships. Together we can work through any unhelpful patterns you might be stuck in. I will help you get through the toughest moments of your life, and help you become your best self. I offer both individual and couples therapy, and work with people of all backgrounds, ages 15 & older. (Hablo español. Trabajo con adolescentes y adultos, y ofrezco terapia individual y de pareja. Puedo ayudarte a superar los momentos más difíciles de tu vida.)

New GROUPS for Women in Mid-Life and those with Chronic Health/Disability concerns! (See Groups Section) I am a Champion of the Human Spirit. How is your spirit? Are you feeling unsatisfied, overwhelmed, weary, confused, anxious, depressed? Maybe it seems like you "have everything" and aren't sure why you don't feel content. Therapy looks a lot like a conversation with a good friend. But the gift is that it's a one-way friendship where it's all about you! You get to talk about whatever you want and I get to listen carefully, affirm and encourage your strengths, and ask questions to help you think more deeply about your concerns.

Sometimes worry can feel like a never ending battle in one's head. Not feeling like yourself can lead to feeling stuck or lost. My work centers on supporting clients to recognize how the challenges of their lives impact their perspective and view of the world. My goal is to establish honesty and trust as we seek to understand which patterns are creating emotional discomfort. I work with clients on understanding how life stressors can managed and overcome through healing, developing skills, and living consciously.

Have you found yourself challenged with feelings of overwhelm, anxiousness, and sadness related to life transitions? Are you experiencing difficulties in your intimate or family relationships that you wish to overcome? Ineffective communication contributes to increased conflict causing more stress and potentially negatively impacting various aspects of your life. Depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma do not have to be your norm. Strengthening interpersonal skills and finding effective methods to cope with stressors is essential to attain overall wellness and develop a fulfilling life that includes peace and empowerment.

My calling is to serve children and adults who deal with a variety of emotional and behavioral imbalances due to psychological trauma or other stressors. As a trauma and DBT-certified therapist, I work with my clients toward the restoration of their emotional wellness by integrating aspects of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapies (DBT), as well as ART therapy, play therapy, and mind-body practices. I also provide court-ordered reunification therapy, group therapy, and clinical diagnostic evaluations and assessments. Currently offering FREE clinical assessment for self-pay therapy clients.

Are you currently navigating a difficult time in your life? Do you find it hard to manage change? Are you struggling to find your own voice? Do you seek validation from unhealthy sources? Can you identify healthy relational boundaries at work and home? Has work become a toxic environment? If you have answered yes to many of these questions, consider talking to someone who will create a space for you to evolve into your authentic self.

My unique approach assists individuals, and couples in learning strategies and techniques that will help them create a more fulfilling and rewarding life. Together, we will collaborate to help you navigate through life's obstacles and past traumas that might be negatively impacting your quality of life. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Theoretical approach to assess clients' presenting issues and create a collaborative treatment plan meeting the client where they are, and setting goals to help them get to where they want to be.

Empathy, sympathy, active listening, and genuine concern are vital to helping individuals overcome the challenges they face. When a person feels unfulfilled, frustrated or blocked by their current situation, seeking help is where change begins. Our Holistic/Person-Centered approach to healing from the inside out is designed to assess the root of an issue, and then help support individuals, families and couples on the path to thinking differently and therefore creating different, more positive outcomes. Privacy and confidentiality is the cornerstone of OneLove Counseling Services.

Struggling with a sense of meaningfulness? Does anxiety, depression, or a past or current life circumstance complicate things? I would be honored to support you in your trying time. I will approach treatment alongside you and draw from various Cognitive Behavior (CBT, DBT, ACT), Strengths-Based, Exposure, and Intersectional Feminism orientations. I will support you as you work to adjust positively to your life challenges through learning and applying effective changes, coping skills, and mindfulness. I feel empowering individuality and embracing radical acceptance is key to you traveling a path you find most meaningful and worthy.

If you're seeking growth, growth will be inevitable. I enjoy the thrill of witnessing my clients recognize their potential and take charge of their lives, perhaps for the very first time. When your life improves, I am deeply moved, and thankful. And, because I am a practical person, your therapy will have a beginning, a middle, and an end, so you can get on with the pleasure of creating a wonderful life. I promise to be an unwavering ally along the way.
