My therapeutic focus is on relationships, individuals, and couples. The goal of my practice is to help clients experience healthy relationships and peace within by integrating Christian theology and psychology. Since successful relationships begin with a clear perspective of self, I emphasize the importance of boundaries, attachment patterns, self-esteem, and emotional awareness and regulation. Individual deep work, talk therapy, and family systems therapy challenge practices of thinking, feeling, and relating. My strengths include establishing rapport through respect, empathetic listening, and a safe environment to explore old wounds and new frontiers with a specialty in Christian spirituality in counseling.

Psychotherapy: In a supportive, solution-focused approach, we will explore the issues, learn new coping skills, and strive to achieve your personal goals. Individual, couples and family therapy is available. We'll work together to better understand the challenges you're facing, which may lead to discovering alternative thought processes and/or different ways to navigate the situation. I lean heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems, while integrating other treatment modalities.

As individuals, we all have a happy, healthy baseline where we find ourselves truly thriving in life. When we are struggling, we oftentimes begin to live our lives in extremes. We might begin to see these extremes manifest in working too much, maybe drinking more than we usually do, or noticing that our emotions seem out of our control and difficult to manage. When we live in these extremes we can find other aspects of our lives beginning to suffer. It may seem impossible to identify where to being in fixing our problems.

Being born with a naturally intuitive nature presented many challenges; it felt overwhelming and burdensome most of the time, but something deep within knew that it was bigger than me. Yet, most days I felt different and out of place, a misfit… I was always highly sensitive to my environment and the pain that filled the space of the hearts of those around me. This unique gift of perception allowed me to feel what others were experiencing, namely their pain.

You took the right step to look for an objective perspective. Now, to get unstuck from those anxieties, relationship difficulties or traumatic feelings, it may only take working together to get the perspective you need. It is already in you to find that better place to be and it shows up in the steps you have taken to get here. I would like to work with you to bring out your strengths and walk beside you as you grow.

I believe in helping people discover their ability to be resilient and how to live in the present moment. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming with too many expectations from school, work, friends, etc. Anxiety is normal, until it becomes unmanageable and begins to restrict your ability to function in your daily life. I can help you push back on your anxiety and learn to feel better equipped to set boundaries with anxiety.

If you are unhappy with the life you are living, I can help you understand what you can do to get unstuck and live a life of passion and joy. If you are in a relationship pattern and are cycling through the same conversations, I can help you reach each other in new ways. If you are exhausted from the endless loop of things getting a little better and then just returning to the status quo, I can help you find the way to make sustainable progress toward the life you want to live.

Relationships can be challenging when you don't feel felt by your partner. Sometimes you feel like you're in the twilight zone because the same argument just keeps happening. No matter how hard you try, you still feel the same: alone, unimportant, under appreciated or some other awful feeling. Many times your partner doesn't even know your pain; its just too much to say. My Advanced Emotionally Focused Couples therapy training will allow you space to take risks in a comfortable and supportive environment. I encourage an intimate connection that can withstand challenges. If you love him/her, you can tell him/her. All are welcome.

I help troubled couples get their relationship back on track using proven tools and science-backed methods. I have over 20 years of experience helping others to remove obstacles that keep them from being their best self. There is a reason why most of my new clients are referred from those who have worked with me in the past. One reviewer said, "Paul is a great counselor. I have tried several others through the years and he is by far the best. I have come to understand myself in so many ways. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of answers."

I believe that behind every problem lies the powerful desire for something better. In addition to working with couples and families, my expertise is in therapy with adolescents (13+) and adults, both gay and straight. I use research-based therapies that offer practical methods and skills that build emotional flexibility, self-awareness and resilience. Many of my clients are working to become free of self-defeating patterns resulting from emotional neglect in early or adolescent development. My typical client is intelligent and responsible as well as anxious and stressed, lonely, depressed or angry.

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.

We only get so many days. Let's use them well! I can help you regain control over your time, relationships, and emotions. You don't deserve to be always overwhelmed, always behind, and always second best. What if the reason you feel different is because you ARE different, and what if that's not a bad thing? You're NOT wrong or broken, but you may need to set some boundaries, talk through difficult events, get organized, or figure out what you want to happen next. Worried or depressed feelings don't have to keep us from having a fulfilling and productive life. You can find a way to release the art inside you. Try therapy with me.

Are you barely holding on? Are you struggling to feel content? Anxiety and/or depression may not be new to you; however, dealing with a world that seems to be on fire and being inundated with it daily has become too much? Connecting with your partner seems harder now than ever before, even though you are spending more time together? All of your regular coping skills and self-care tools just don't seem to be doing the job and you are looking for relief? The world is not the same but that doesn't mean contentment cannot be achieved.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 8 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help other since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. My goal is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another. My primary practice focus is Cognitive Behavior Therapy as I have strong belief that our thoughts heavily influence our behaviors.

Parenthood not going how you thought it would? Maybe you’ve “just relaxed” for over a year now and you’re still not pregnant. Or perhaps your journey has been halted by an unexpected loss. Everyone is pregnant around you and you’ve just been invited to another baby shower. Entering parenthood rarely goes as planned. We are fed this narrative that we will get pregnant, have the delivery of our choosing and instantly bond with our baby. We answer endless questions about our infant’s sleep habits and post our monthly baby pictures. In reality, we haven’t brushed our teeth in three days and want to rage every time our partner speaks.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
