Therapists in Poncey-Highland, Atlanta, GA

Since you are here, you may want change in your life, relief, and healing. Wanting more for yourself is adaptive. Seeking help is healthy. By reaching out for support, you are bringing yourself closer to the relief and change that you desire. I use an integrative approach to therapy to help people harness adaptive parts of themselves in the service of letting go of unhelpful, self-destructive, and repetitive behaviors and achieving relief, happiness, and lasting change. This occurs within a collaborative, empowering, and respectful relationship between us that involves authentic compassion, warmth, transparency, and nonjudgment.

I believe authenticity is at the root of living whole and living well. Utilizing my background in social work and years of experience in various practice settings, I employ an integrative approach to meeting the therapeutic needs of clients. My practice focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of a range of mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and helping adults navigate life stressors. It would be an honor to collaborate with you on your unique journey of growth, healing, and authentic living.

I enjoy working with clients looking for a unique and personalized approach to therapy. While I am well versed in traditional approaches, I also specialize in animal assisted therapy, art therapy, and play therapy. These tools allow me to tailor my therapeutic approach to the individual and take an integrative approach to counseling. Everyone is different, and it is important that we find an approach that is a good fit for you. I am a therapist at Acorn Center for Counseling Growth, & Healing LLC supervised by Rebecca Ahmadi LPC008726.

Relationships are hard, and connection is possible. Sometimes how we cope with pain and stress become the source of more pain and stress. We repeat patterns in relationships, seek escape in negative behaviors, or generally feel stuck. Often these behaviors are responses to past trauma or to a narrative we tell ourselves. Identifying these patterns and knowing where to start is difficult and rewarding work. Engaging in therapy will help you address concerns and trauma, reduce worry and anxiety, decrease depression and sadness and cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and your environment.

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.

I offer online therapy for individuals in Georgia, Florida and Massachusetts.

Anxious about the climate crisis and having difficulty managing uncertainty and dread? Maybe you are feeling disconnected and overwhelmed, and longing for deeper connection. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are seeking to live more meaningful, satisfying lives, and helping you feel less "stuck".

Are you seeking inner peace? Interested in a more present-focused and relaxed quality of life? Through mindfulness practice and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques, I can assist you with obtaining the life you want and the health your body needs. Emotional distress takes a toll on your mind, body and spirit and can appear to control your life. As a trained DBT and trauma-informed therapist, I will equip you with tools to regain control and improve your emotional and interpersonal effectiveness. Through both acceptance and change, you can reach your full potential!

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.

I believe that good psychotherapy is rooted in a strong collaborative relationship. I began my career decades ago in community mental health, and I have worked in many different formats and settings with clients of all ages and dispositions. I have a good grasp of the relationship between immediate passions and long-term developmental needs, and I am flexibly responsive in helping clients to navigate apparent conflicts between them. I have many different skills to bring to bear to assist in examining these issues, and in making and implementing good decisions. These skills include humanistic, gestalt, and cognitive behavioral therapy, and hypnosis.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping people navigate challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, and healing from attachment trauma. I especially love working with those who feel disconnected from their current lives and are exploring their identity and purpose. Many of my clients realize they need change but don't know where to start. They often have struggled with anxiety, burnout, and relational trauma, leading to repetitive painful patterns and isolation. These patterns, once protective, now cause pain and suffering. I have an affinity for working with LGBTQ+ folks and those living nontraditional paths.

As a therapist with over 25 years of experience in counseling, I offer warmth, understanding and the ability to sit with you as we explore your life experience in support of your goals. I know how stress and trauma can disconnect us from life, relationships and meaning. There may be past hurts, trauma and disappointments that have stolen your vitality or sent parts of you into the shadows. All parts of you are welcome here. I frequently support clients working through depression, panic, trauma, addiction, grief and loss. I work with adults and couples as they navigate life transitions - jobs, relationships, wellness.

Everyone people express their feelings in a plethora of different ways.
