Family Therapy in Atlanta, GA

My passion is to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child. You may feel sometimes that you and your child are having difficulty connecting to where you feel like you are not on the same page. This disconnect coupled with the pressures of school issues, can manifest in your teen through behaviors such as anger, anxiety, depression, self-identity crisis, and even self harm.

I value honest and thoughtful communication, which means I communicate in an attentive, supportive, compassionate, empowering, and non-judgmental manner while being authentic, direct, and transparent. I utilize validation and humor in therapy to foster connection and to create space for healthy, long-lasting change. I seek to help my clients deeply accept and understand their own thoughts, emotions, actions, and experiences so they can more effectively navigate their relationships with self and the world.

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.

I am an experienced helping professional, what I call a 'change agent' with a first hand knowledge of a wide variety of issues, problems and situations. I am excellent in communication, warm, relational, non-judgmental and direct. I work to hear the issues you are seeking help with. I do not use "psychobabble." I focus on the "here and now" issues you bring and we will explore what has brought you to this place, what you can do and/or what you can be. When we first meet we will make sure I am the best type of person for your concern.

Do you find yourself wishing your relationships with others were deeper? Do you crave intimacy, to feel known, listened to, and valued? In our world today, this deep sense of connection can be difficult to attain. As a therapist, I prioritize relationship, offer therapeutic connection, and facilitate intrapersonal and relational growth. I work with individuals to explore identity, sexuality, and the difficulties that may come along with attempting to know one’s self deeply and live authentically, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. I particularly enjoy and specialize in working with queer and bisexual women.

Hello, I'm Beverly! I know life is challenging at times and it takes courage to admit it and to seek help. Good job in taking the first step! Are you struggling to find harmony and fulfillment in your life and relationships? Are self-esteem, self-care, and healthy boundaries difficult for you? Do you have a family member or loved one who struggles with addiction issues? Living with any of these challenges can cause anxiety or depression which can make it even more difficult to cope. You don't have to deal with this alone.

Hello my name is Dr. Arlene Garcia. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist. My experience includes offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and helping people work through various issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, family issues, grief and loss. I believe that we all have sources of resilience and I am passionate about helping people make change in their lives through realizing their strengths.

Are you ready to journey within in order to create real & lasting change in your life? My purpose as your therapist is to help you better understand yourself in order to make the changes you desire in your life. We all have dreams, goals, desires, ideas & ambitions but sometimes getting ourselves across that finish line is challenging. These challenges can exist for a variety of reasons such as trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, family dynamics, career dissatisfaction & many more. If you're ready and open to do the deeper mind-body-spirit work, then let's connect!

Everyone wants to live feeling fulfilled and happy; that is a universal truth deeply rooted in our human nature. While we all share that truth, figuring out exactly what makes us feel fulfilled and happy isn’t always easy. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling just a little bit off. Other times we find ourselves completely lost, deeply unhappy, and consistently unfulfilled. Whatever the case may be, experiencing meaningful and lasting positive change is entirely possible - and that is exactly what I help my clients achieve in the warmest, non-judgmental, and productive atmosphere possible.

I am committed to helping individuals, couples and families reach their fullest potential by equipping them with the tools/skills to thrive and live their best life. My goal is to assist my clients to be able to overcome past traumas, insecurities, negative relationship habits and other negative patterns that hinder their ability to create and maintain healthy relationships. I also enjoy helping couples prepare for marriage or work through marital issues that all couples experience at some point and time in their marriage such as communication issues, conflict resolution, sexual issues, betrayal, infidelity, and incompatibility.

I work with a wide range of adolescents and adults, in particular those in the LGBTQIA community who are seeking to understand and accept themselves. This process involves self-discovery, understanding and self-acceptance. We can work together through issues such as shame, guilt, low self - esteem, school bullying, verbal/physical abuse, discrimination and the lack of family and societal support. We can also navigate possible conflicts of spirituality and personal values with sexual orientation/gender identity.

I’m easy to connect with. My clients feel comfortable opening up to me and sharing what they’re going through. Parents say their children developed better coping/social skills and learned how to feel better about themselves with my help. I am warm, empathic, comforting and use strategies that have been proven highly effective. I am experienced in helping people of any age with relationship difficulties. I work with many young professionals, adults, families and couples. I help people who struggle with negative thinking patterns. I focus on cutting-edge, evidence-based psychotherapy techniques that allow for accelerated healing.

It has been my privilege to help people of all ages and backgrounds live their preferred story - to feel, think, and experience life the way they want. You’ve already started seeking it out. I truly believe it is the well part of someone that seeks and shows up to therapy, that knows and wants something better. Whether you are a young person, a parent, or simply a fellow human being, you can grow, learn, change & heal. It is all possible. And I see therapy not just as a way to decrease what you aren’t wanting but also a chance to increase what you’d like to experience in yourself, your life, & your family.

Are you at your wits' end due to conflicts and communication breakdown? Are you having second thoughts about getting married or staying in your relationship? Are you feeling angry, anxious, or depressed most days? Issues in your relationship can easily spill over into other areas of your life, negatively impacting your health and well-being. The great news is this - your situation can change for the better TODAY!

I adhere to the philosophy that relationships are at the core of the human experience, yet there are times when healing can't be done alone. My work is fundamentally relational. I help people overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, with an understanding that these issues can overlap or involve additional problems impacting other areas of life. I am warm, relatable, active, and flexible, balancing exploratory work with directness. I have over 15 years of experience with a diverse body of clients. I divide my time between clinical work, teaching, and research.

Learn how to take control of your life and determine how to seek growth personally and professionally. Life has a way of putting you through challenges to test your endurance. Whether it be anger, depression, grief, or lack of motivation, at Positive Perseverance, we will assist you with developing the appropriate skills to manage life's hardships in order to live productive lives.

Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our boss or loved ones. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to new circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to initiate change. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just want to feel heard. I strive to create a space safe where my clients feel comfortable sharing. I actively engage in conversation with my clients, meet them where they are and work collaboratively with them to bridge the gap between their current state of being and living their most fulfilled lives.
