Black and African American Therapists in Decatur, GA
Hello my name is Princess Thorpe and I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist practicing in the metro area of Atlanta. During this time it has been very difficult for our friends, families and ourselves as individuals to cope with all of the changes that have occurred recently in our lives. My focus is to help people discover and develop practical yet evidence based ways to cope with the "New Normal." Reaching out to a therapist can be scary, but also one of the best ways to take care of yourself and support your family.

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

At any given moment you can make the decision to live the life you desire. When we avoid addressing our past and present issues, we may develop unhealthy thinking patterns, behaviors and ways of coping that we don't even recognize. & although we may not recognize that these things are happening, it can easily lead to confusion, self doubt, anxiety, fear and even sadness. Healing and transformation are easier said than done and there is nothing wrong with connecting to a professional you can identify with to help you with the process.

Are you struggling to tell others how you're feeling? Do you keep putting your head down, delving into hard work, only to look up and feel an isolating sadness? And even though you know (in theory) that it’s okay not to be okay, and that it’s okay to ask for help, you just can’t seem to do it for yourself? I also was taught that it was my responsibility, and mine alone, to make myself feel better. But the hard truth is that while it takes strength to push through on your own, it also takes a special kind of strength to accept help.

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated when outcomes do not meet your expectations? Burdened with beliefs that keep you feeling stuck? Increased emotional reactivity and negative behavior? Experiencing pain and suffering from a recent loss of a loved one, job, relationship or even a pet? These symptoms are difficult to treat on your own. They need openness and validation from a professional. A place to calm the nervous system and feel safe to vulnerably explore the issues at-hand. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be a privilege to do the same for you.

Do you feel as though unhealthy coping skills are preventing you from becoming your "Best Self"? Sometimes in life, we face adverse situations in which we learn to cope using unhealthy skills. This may cause us to feel stuck and wondering why we can't do the things that we know, think, and feel would be helpful? Unhealthy coping behaviors may cause a person to feel stuck and wonder why they aren't progressing. Unfortunately, we continue to use these skills in ways that are no longer beneficial and eventually cause harm to our functioning. Therapy can be helpful in identifying, eliminating, and replacing these harmful behaviors.

Talking about sex can be very uncomfortable and feel awkward. It can be made worse by issues with our pelvic floor or reproductive system. This can leave you feeling disconnected from your body and/or your partner. Maybe you're noticing that you're avoiding sex or having sex that is painful or not pleasurable. Confusion, loneliness, shame, frustration are all common emotions that show up when we want something different in our sex lives but don't know how. I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with sex and pelvic floor dysfunction reconnect to themselves and each other through somatic and sex based therapies.
