Attachment-based Therapists in Atlanta, GA

There’s more to life than just working and caring for others. You struggled to build this life for yourself, but now there’s little joy in it. You feel disconnected, alone. You yearn to do more than just survive. You want to explore new parts of yourself, deepen your relationships, and find new energy for life. How can you get there when right now your plate is so full you’re barely making it through the day? Things can get better. I will walk with you through this time of awakening and help you refocus on your own needs as you journey toward the life you want. A life full of authenticity and connection.

Living in connection with others is a most basic need we all share. An essential part of living a healthy, satisfying life involves giving full expression to one's needs and desires and being able to support the needs of others, with empathy. My goal as therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals, couples and families to explore, experience and express personal and relationship needs toward achieving specific therapeutic goals. In my office, the client is the expert on his/her life.

Hello, I'm Tammy Cha, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a passion for mental health and well-being. With years of experience in the field, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find their path to emotional balance and resilience.

When we don't feel safe, heard, accepted, or understood, our lives become more challenging. Our defense mechanisms, the behaviors we find hardest to change, become stronger, and our worries become louder. As a therapist, I believe in creating a nurturing, safe, trusting, and non-judgemental environment where you can feel seen, heard, and free to share openly. In our sessions, the walls that were once built up can come down to create a place of acceptance and healing. I want you to know that you are good enough, you can heal, and you have the ability to save yourself!

Sometimes life delivers challenges that outstrip our ability to cope on our own. We need and deserve support and guidance from someone who can offer a larger perspective, and with whom we feel safe and free to be ourselves. It is a privilege to sit with clients as they sort through feelings, learn to trust themselves, find their power, and transform their lives. I accompany them as they dig deep and work hard for a better life. My clients appreciate my authenticity, deep understanding of their issues, and genuine supportiveness of them on their journeys of healing and growth.

I specialize in helping Black women & women of color overcome Complex Trauma (aka C-PTSD), how past trauma affects our current relationships with self & others: Attachment, Motherhood & Maternal Mental Health, Codependence & Perfectionism. As women, we are often the backbone of our families, workplace, and communities, but what happens when you can no longer keep up? My passion is helping you begin the journey of healing from past trauma and move toward wholeness and wellness in their lives.

Where are you going? Do you feel stuck in your relationship, wondering what to do next, or mired in low self-esteem? I believe that starting therapy and examining your journey is a brave step in making your life the one you deserve. You are the only one who can enact change in your life - but a therapist to walk with you, support you, and guide you, can help. Life is too short to be ruled by emotional pain, fear, and limiting beliefs. You'll find that I'm approachable, down to earth, and welcome humor in our sessions.

Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, abuse, adjustment, relationship issues, life stressors, school related concerns, behavioral challenges- I will assist you in identifying goals to enhance your unique strengths and capabilities.

Are you new to therapy, returning and or just searching for the right fit. I'll meet you where you are.

Life doesn't have to be so hard. LGBTQ people face extra pressures and struggles in life compared to straight or cisgender peers.

I know what it's like to be a part of our community.

Our professional relationship needs to be a collaborative and connecting experience. Your input and feedback are essential ingredients in getting where you want to go while my job is to understand your goals and needs and observe which methods might work best for you. I am a seasoned, ethical psychologist with 30 years of experience. My clients vary from young adults to elders. Some seek life coaching or a consultation for a specific problem while others are in distress and want major changes. In general my clients describe me as warm and encouraging, with an ability to see patterns, clarify situations and identify alternatives.

Navigating the world as a creative professional can be filled with much wonder and freedom through the eyes of others, while internally you may be experiencing immense doubt and self-criticism. Fulfilling the expectations others have of you may lend to you feeling a sense of dissatisfaction with your life and may possibly contribute to you being in a state of depression or anxiety. It feels like everyone is focused on who they want you to be to them and no one is striving to get to know the true you. Are you feeling disconnected from yourself? Do you feel like you aren't truly living the life you desire to?

I provide counseling and therapy services to Couples, Individuals, and Families, helping them restore hope, grow, and heal.

I will work collaboratively with you to empower you, find hidden strengths, & navigate the roads of life, while helping you develop healthy relationships, find your true self, achieve your goals, and move toward greater wholeness, stability, and joy.

I appreciate you taking the time to research me and explore whether we could be a good fit for each other. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I would be honored to collaborate with you and help you along your journey. I have a passion for relationships; while we don't choose our family, they often play a significant role in our lives. So, whether you are coming alone, or you prefer to come with your significant other or family members, I believe growth and healing are possible for every person and every relationship.
