Therapists in Alpharetta, GA

Are you worried that your teen daughter is stressed or depressed? Are you frustrated with the lack of communication or defiant behavior? Are you concerned about your teen's difficulties in regu? Modern teen-hood for girls is a very difficult time in life, one that needs a specific set of coping skills. The rise in peer pressure, competitive conflicts, and unhealthy social media messages are all likely contributors to a national increase in anxiety, depression and low self-worth in girls. Counseling can help teen girls to improve decision-making, managing stress, and learning coping strategies to better set them up for future success

Welcome! My practice is open during early EVENING hours to accommodate after school schedules. I have been fortunate to have 19 years of counseling experience in both the school setting and the private sector, working with children ranging in ages 5-18, adults, and with families.

Navigating the adolescent years is full of ups and downs for both parents and kids. Your teen or young adult is someone who is high-achieving and bright, but finds themselves dealing with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and comparing themselves to others. They tend to overanalyze, overthink, and their inner voice is too critical. As a parent you’re ready to see your child feel whole again. You’re ready to support them as they navigate change and transition. Most of all, you’re ready for them to see the wonderful gifts they have to offer. I want to help your family get there.

One of the greatest offerings of therapy is the opportunity for change. I work both with clients who are wanting change and those who have been thrust into change without asking for it. Clients facing complex trauma & PTSD, grief, life transitions, and other big hurdles can find balance and restoration in their work with me. I help clients to reconstruct their relationships with trauma, loss, anxiety, and with the other people in their lives.

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.

Hello! I am Alex Hopkins of Early Connections Child & Family Counseling. I specialize in counseling boys ages 8-18, and young men ages 19-22. Many of the young people I work with are recovering from trauma, and need a safe place to heal. Others are struggling to fit in with their peers, and need to know they're not alone. Some of them are navigating the tricky waters of sexual development, or identify as LGBTQ+ and need a place where they are welcomed and affirmed. A lot of the young people I work with feel anxious and/or depressed and want to feel hopeful again. All of the people I work with want to feel safe, seen, and secure.
