In Person Therapists in Athens, GA
Do you or someone you love feel an overwhelming sense of pressure in your life, but you aren’t sure why? Are you dealing with anxiety, heavy stress, or maybe you just had your first panic attack. Dealing with anxiety can feel incredibly isolating, and can leave you feeling powerless against yourself. It is my goal to walk with you to a healthier, more mindful way of life while feeling fully in control! My name is Kayla, and I found my passion for therapy after going through my own personal experiences with anxiety and trauma. I enjoy working with children, teens, adolescents, and adults!

So you've been thinking about making a change in your life. Maybe you've even tried taking steps to make it happen, but for some reason, it just isn't working. That's okay! We all need help every once in a while. Maybe it's help finding solutions or maybe it's just someone to listen while you work through the process. Either way, I would be honored to be that person. With 10+ years in the mental health and addiction field, I have learned a thing or two about "change coaching." I have immediate openings for in-person and online sessions. Schedule your free consultation by visiting my website at www.athenstac.org.

Having someone to walk alongside you in your journey to psychological/emotional health can move you from surviving into thriving. Navigating life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times painful. Dealing with difficulties like life transitions, stress, managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or making seemingly impossibly difficult decisions, all the while trying to maintaining positive self-esteem and finding helpful ways to cope with life demands, is a really hard thing to do. Feeling close to the people we love can feel hard when we struggle to find the ability to be vulnerable in a tough world.

I've offerred listening, provided therapy, or consulted for almost 20 years. I've worked across the develpmental spectrum and have addressed everyday adjustment issues, mood/anxiety disorders, transitional challenges (i.e. career/job change, relocation), relational issues to name a few. Using a culturally informed approach I've had the priviledge of working with many marginalized communities, including people of color, people experiencing poverty & veterans to name a few. When a person is open and ready for change, great things can happen!

Life is a journey and sometimes we need extra support along the way to learn different ways of navigating the journey. In my therapy practice, I aim to help those learn these techniques through listening, teaching, and coaching. I have 20 years of experience working with individuals from different walks of life. My goal has always been first and foremost to establish and cultivate a trusting relationship. Gaining a good understanding of an individual’s struggles and where they would like assistance is the best place to begin.

Relationships are vital to our wellbeing. As social creatures, human beings need connection to thrive. This is what makes relational work so important to me. Whether repairing a connection that is broken or improving communication to prevent issues, a trained Couples counselor can help to provide the tools for success. A little about me-I have over 20 years experience in the medical field in which I gained experience in dealing with life transitions, grief, loss and other life changes good and bad. I bring this perspective into my approach. I offer a space that is judgment free and supportive.

Recovery is an ongoing process that begins far before we see it. Whether you are an individual or family beginning to explore options for treatment, or several years into sobriety or healing and feeling overwhelmed, it can feel impossible to find help. Active addiction and patterns we have learned through our disease, our depression, and our anxiety are extremely hard to shake. It is scary to consider life a different way but doing nothing is scarier. It is overwhelming to think we may need to put our trust in others to help us formulate a new path. I have been where you are now.

The pursuit of well-being, health, meaning, joy, and peace is an on-going, confusing and complex journey. Fear, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, depression, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts strip us from our agency, disconnect us from our deeper intentions, values, and priorities, and hijack our capacity to live fully enriched, meaningful lives. Making sense of these experiences is often fraught with shame, confusion, frustration, and can leave one feeling powerless and overwhelmed.

I specialize in helping people with all kinds of relationship challenges, from healing after affairs, to deciding whether to stay in a marriage that seems to have lost its life force. Maybe you are in a business partnership with someone that you are having trouble relating to these days, or struggling to find new meaning after the kids are grown and gone.
