Therapists in Morningside, Atlanta, GA

Talk therapy is a process of listening to what each person comes to say. Though therapy may often begin with a precise problem, grievance, or impasse, the process can lead to a conversation about one’s desire. Actively listening and being curious about what one says allows this process to unfold. I see the process as a collaboration.

Adolescence and young adulthood brings unique challenges and excitement that often requires extra support from sources outside of friends and family. Navigating changes and life transitions can feel overwhelming, anxiety producing, and generally stressful. Finding the right therapist is one of the most important factors in your success towards feeling better. I work with children, teens, young adults, and highly sensitive individuals seeking support with anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, managing boundaries, and executive functioning.

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!

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, my mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all walks of life can embark on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I firmly believe that every person's story is unique, and I am committed to providing non-judgmental support and challenges to those facing various struggles. In my practice, culture is not just acknowledged; it is celebrated. I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, ages, genders, and sexual orientations, as well as ADHD and autism. I want to help you get back to functioning, so lets talk!

It’s not always easy to be vulnerable or trust someone new, so it’s my main priority to make the space as safe and healing as possible. I will provide empathy, warmth, and non-judgmental support, so that we can build a trusting, nurturing relationship. It is my belief that therapy should be a collaborative effort between therapist and client, and I value making you feel heard and understood in hopes that you can show up authentically. Together, we will work as a team to help you reach your goals and grow into a flourishing version of yourself.

My name is Julianna. I’m new to the field, but I’ve had a passion for it since I was 12. I have worked with all ages along with their families, but I’m most effective and extremely enjoy working with individuals ranging from ages 6 to 21. I mostly enjoy working with individuals with a history of suicidal ideations, non-suicidal self-injury, low self-esteem, low motivation, and school avoidance. I find joy from helping individuals come into loving their authentic selves and understanding they deserve life. I also specialize in emotional regulation, distress tolerance and behavior modification for ages 6-9.

I'm grateful for your courage to seek help. I care deeply about helping people address their concerns while offering respect, safety and compassion. I view therapy as an opportunity to use your strengths and resources in order to increase your overall health and life satisfaction. We will collaborate to alleviate distressing experiences in the present and gain insight into where these difficulties originated. Throughout, I will meet you with integrity and culturally-responsive care.

Nice to meet you! I am a clinical psychologist in Georgia. I believe therapy can be a space for gaining perspective, skills, and healing. Therapy can also be a place to learn more about yourself and to grow. If you need a space just for you, a place of healing, or a breathing room to have an opportunity to create a plan for the changes you want in life, I would love to journey with you. We can identify goals together like developing new ways to cope and to accept and understand all parts of yourself. You'll find that my therapeutic style is personable, warm, and down-to-earth.

I am a Vietnam-era veteran who worked as a Medical Specialist, protecting our Nation's heroes suffering from Medical and Mental Health problems. After the Service, I embarked on a 31-year history of working with individuals in our communities with Serious Mental Health problems and Psychoactive Substance addictions. During my occupational transitions, I was employed at Grady Memorial Hospital (12 years), Fulton County MH (12 years), and the Dekalb Community Service Board for 23 years. I was also an Adjunct Instructor at Ashford University and A Mental Health Clinician at Laurel Heights Hospital.

Have you found yourself feeling overwhelmed and at a loss about how to navigate life with the person you love? Do you ever wonder why everything feels so much harder than it used to? Has having kids or raising kids created disconnection in the relationship? Are you hoping to reconnect with your partner and establish more connection and intimacy?

If you're feeling overwhelmed by constant unease, oppressive sadness, or trapped by past experiences, know healing is possible, and you don't have to face it alone. Through compassionate support, cognitive strategies, and body-based practices, we'll work toward inner strength and resilience. I specialize in leveraging the psychological benefits of physical activity–you don't need any experience with exercise, curiosity can be a starting point. I also work with the unique challenges faced by athletes of all levels. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults.

I was led to this work because I believe that by helping children, parents, and families improve connection, communication, and a sense of belonging and safety, I can make a significant impact on our community’s mental health and overall well-being. I’ve worked with kids and parents through various parts of my journey—from working as a nanny, working in the educational publishing field, leading parenting workshops, acting as president of a Moms Club, being a substitute teacher, and more.

Everyone experiences difficulties in life because we are all human, make mistakes, and need support. I provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and supportive environmental for clients from a variety of different backgrounds. I believe therapy is most effective when you are seeing results, therefore, I make it my goals to help you see lasting, desired change. I encourage clients to recognize areas they can grow and equip them skills to help pursue that growth. If you want more control, peace, and contentment in life, then I would love to work with you in achieving your goals.

Hi there! I have experience providing counseling for adults with anxiety, depression, life transitions, suicide ideation, increasing self-image, trauma, relationship issues and grief. I have a passion for supporting individuals by helping to identify their personal strengths and positive qualities. I encourage clients to express their feelings, express their needs and be their true selves!

I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience, primarily in higher education settings. My practice focuses on working with diverse people who are navigating life transitions and demands, particularly those connected to their identity and sense of self. I believe each of us is shaped through our life experiences, both positive and painful. Therapy is an opportunity to explore these experiences, especially if you are feeling unfulfilled or questioning your life’s purpose and meaning. While this process can be difficult, it can also lead to tremendous clarity, insight, and even joy!

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled? Do you experience looping thoughts of self-doubt or worry? Do you feel like nothing you do could ever be enough? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you feel stuck in the past or worried about the future? No matter where you are, I will meet you there and provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for processing. Through our work together, I hope to help you foster more peace, purpose, joy, and balance in your life. Being human is hard and you do not need to face life alone. I am here for you.

Hello! I am so glad you stopped by to visit my profile. Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Takelia Jackson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health from Mercer University. My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and actively listen. My approach to therapy draws from person centered, behavior, psychodynamic, cognitive, and faith-based counseling.

Clients reach out because they've reached a stuck and hopeless place with their partner. Sometimes there’s been a significant betrayal; other times, it's been a slow descent toward disconnection. With my guidance, couples come to understand the negative cycle between them. Rather than get caught in the same old fights about money or sex or parenting, we get beneath the surface topics to the core emotions driving the discord.

I became a therapist because I believe everyone is struggling with something, and no one deserves to struggle alone. I provide skills-based therapy to give adults and adolescents tools you can use to create a life more aligned with how you wish to live. If you feel like you wear your emotions on your sleeve, have been told you are impulsive, or struggle to keep relationships, the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) I offer may be helpful for you. If you feel you have to hide your emotions, struggle with perfectionism and loneliness, or often feel like you are wearing a mask, then you may find Radically Open DBT to be helpful.
