Welcome to a new phase in your journey. I am passionate about working with adults who are going through various challenges including life transitions/changes, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-discovery and self-care. Many adults are living with generational trauma that has impacted their life in known and unknown ways. Oftentimes, day-to-day life gets in the way of healing and adapting due to all of the various responsibilities on your plate which ultimately places you on the back burner. I hope to create a space that is safe, inviting, allows you to openly express yourself, and helps create balance in your life.

My approach is holistic--holding mind, body, emotions, and spirit equally-- strength-based, and integrative, drawing together humanistic, psychodynamic, systems, and transpersonal approaches.
Whether you are facing life challenges such as relationship problems, addiction, work concerns, or health issues, you can move through with more elegance and ease. To me therapy is a gift--a gift of opportunity. An opportunity to heal from the past by increasing understanding of it and gleaning from it the gems that it holds. An opportunity to break long-held rigid patterns born of that past and to start consciously creating new, flexible ones. An opportunity to hold hope for a future free from the past that makes the present a time of freedom and choice.

Primarily I am solution focused and strength-based.
Hello, My name is Kevin Crabtree. I'm a licensed Professional counselor in the state of GA. I wanted to be therapist from the time I saw Deanna Troi on Star Trek the Next Generation. I've been blessed with a clarity of vision and have deeply enjoyed my life's work, so often counseling doesn't feel like work to me, as much as me serving my highest purpose to help others. I began working with clients in 2006. Since then I have worked with a wide variety of clients from at-risk children and families, federal and state prisoners, and most recently military service members and families.

In building resiliency there is a frequent pivot between surrendering & fighting for strength to define a purposed life. At our best we clearly see our resilience, but at our worst our vision is often disillusioned with the “could haves”/“should haves”. I work with adolescents & adults to help shape an achievable vision to work towards actualizing your greatest potential. Using a Strength-based approach I shift self-talk away from constant thoughts about “what’s wrong” to “what’s good” as the smallest affirmation can uplift immensely. When appropriate, I incorporate Spiritual Social Work as empowerment to faith over fear.

I have worked with young adults, women, and men as they face challenges at different places within their life spans. I utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Psychodynamic, Trauma Focused, Strength-Based, and Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) modalities. To choose to commit to therapy is a decision that takes great strength, courage, and vulnerability, but it is also very rewarding. I feel that it is a privilege to hear someone’s story.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
