Transgender Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I believe that all of the fulfillment that you seek to find externally, can be found within you. A lot of times, people spend their lives seeking ways to find joy and happiness in other things. This often leads to missing out on the beauty that is unfolding within their present day. It is easy for people to become consumed by their everyday lives and even easier to miss out on the simple things that bring happiness.

I have a great respect for the courage it takes to begin the counseling process. Within a safe therapeutic container we can increase your awareness of fears, strengths, desires, and underlying motivations, enhancing the feeling of being securely anchored in the world. Together we can meet the challenges life has thrown your way, whether you're feeling stuck, frightened, overwhelmed, or out of control.

My goal as a therapist is to help you discover the "TRUE" you. We will work together in a positive fashion to help you discover the source of the challenges within life. The primary goal is to work together to develop creative ways or alternatives to help you to live a healthier lifestyle allowing you to grow to your full potential. Here to help guide through that journey. Offering VIDEO and PHONE sessions at this time . Serving Douglasville in video sessions ONLY.

Hi! My name is Kahlor (Kay) and my pronouns are she/they. I am a Queer, Multiracial, Korean American, who is passionate about providing culturally-responsive therapy to people who hold multiple marginalized identities.

Our physical, mental, relational and spiritual health are affected parts of our whole self. My focus is on supporting clients through life challenges with awareness of the interconnection between mind, body, and spirit. Clients who come to my practice may be facing social stigma, identity, life changes, or health challenges, adjusting to medical treatment that leave them feeling unsupported, anxious, depressed, or spiritually depleted. As a psychotherapist and Art Therapist, I offer evidenced-based approaches, including Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT).

It's your life and it’s a journey. You deserve to live it authentically and joyfully. In challenging times or because of trauma in our past, life can become overwhelming, and we may need a little help finding our way through. To assist clients in achieving their mental health goals and improving overall functioning, Billy Cottrell-Jackson, LPC, NCC, RYT utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic practices to help improve client mental health, wellness, and quality of life.

When you’re going through a life transition, it is difficult to find your footing. Whether you chose this change or not, it seems one area of life has shaken your whole world. It's had an impact at home, in relationships, with family, at school, or work. You feel alone and confused. You want to enjoy the present and feel hopeful, instead of constantly playing over what you could have done differently. You want to stop feeling so raw and vulnerable.

My areas of clinical focus are around men's issues and with members of the LGBTQ community. I'm committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where you can process your feelings, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. I'm not the kind of psychologist who sits silently and nods while you do all the work. I'm an active therapist and work collaboratively to help you increase self-awareness and identify a healthier path. Additionally, I draw on different theoretical approaches to adapt my work to your needs, but work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective.

Do you feel like you are stuck in a vicious cycle and can't make it stop? This can happen to the best of us and lead to us feeling discouraged, hopeless, and helpless. I promise you, there is hope and help. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, substance use, relationship issues or other problems and could use some help, I would love to help. Together, we can work to get to the root of the problem, resolve any unhealed wounds, learn healthy coping skills, and ultimately overcome the issues you've been battling. You deserve to live free of these burdens, and you absolutely can!

I am passionate about helping you meet all of your goals. Whether it is personal and or professional, I will walk beside you as you take the steps necessary to live your best life.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based interventions. I offer clients a comprehensive toolkit to navigate the complexities of their emotions and thoughts, and work collaboratively to balance self-acceptance with growth. I am passionate about working with queer and neurodivergent individuals as well as clients with a history of trauma who are looking for emotion regulation skills and mindful somatic practices. My specialties also include working with teens and adults with mood disorders and borderline personality disorder.

I am Michelle King. I am a clinical social worker in both states of Georgia and Vermont. I work from a positive psychotherapy framework. Therapy is in pursuit of change and that is an active pursuit and not passive so, we will work together during sessions. My goal is for you to leave the session having an understanding, a clear mind, and a plan. I am a positive psychotherapist that approaches treatment with kindness, compassion, and no judgment. My goal in sessions is for you to be able to trust and speak freely while processing and coming up with a plan. My desire is to help.

“It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found” (D.W. Winnicott). I believe that people have a fundamental need to be seen and heard. I aim to create space that allows clients to be their authentic selves as they grapple with the challenges of past traumas and present hardships. Too often people feel as though they are experiencing pain alone. I strongly believe in the therapeutic alliance and the uniqueness that is co-created within the supportive relational space. Together we can understand and integrate one’s trauma, strengthen one's self-confidence and deepen insight.

Now accepting new clients! In a safe and non-judgmental environment, I utilize art therapy to help you process emotions and challenging life experiences. No experience in art is necessary to benefit, you only need the willingness to express yourself and engage in the creative process. I use art therapy in counseling with those who are seeking to process anxiety, stress, trauma and more. As your therapist, I will work with you to ensure that you feel safe and validated while we build the therapeutic relationship and process challenges with art therapy. Not into art? Not to worry, I also offer traditional talk therapy!

I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected.

If life is feeling hard or you're just feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you determine what you need next. I believe deeply in this process of therapy and in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully. Maybe you are dealing with relationship concerns, overwhelming anxiety or feelings of sadness and despair. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma or childhood pain, or experience feelings of detachment or impulsivity. Maybe you feel a little lost and are looking to find your voice and your purpose.

Are you struggling with past traumas that impact your relationships or daily life? Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, and your own personal needs? Recovering from a breakup and finding it hard to move forward? At Push Thru Therapy, we understand that everyone’s journey is unique. Our dedicated group practice is committed to supporting individuals through various life challenges, no matter how big or small. We provide a safe and welcoming space where all clients, including women, mothers, and individuals from diverse backgrounds, can explore and address their concerns.

Having been trained in a humanistic/holistic model of therapy (Experiential, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Family Systems), I have adhered to what is now called an “integrative” approach to mental health issues. Specifically, when I engage with a client we focus on the interaction of all the dimensions of his or her life, i.e., biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual. Subsequently, we embark on an exciting journey together to explore a path that leads to a more optimal state of well-being and a greater sense of wholeness.

If you're feeling overwhelmed scrolling through profiles or wondering if you are even ready to go to therapy anyway, you're not alone. I know from experience both as the therapist and as the client that making the decision to go to therapy & setting up that first appointment is often the hardest part. I hope that you're proud of yourself for taking that step & making it here. My goal is to connect personally with each client so that we can work collaboratively to identify problems and goals and create a plan for treatment.
