Divorce Therapists in Duluth, GA

I can help with the unpredictable aspects of life that can cause pain and create major distractions along the way to goal fulfillment. I use a multidisciplinary approach to determine the best approach to Elevate Your Life. Psychotherapy will provide the intensity and depth to overcome grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, marital conflict, transitional difficulties, and other symptomatic barriers to achieving your goals. Coaching will enable you to tap into your hidden potential and reclaim deferred dreams that can elevate your relationships, career, academic success, health, and wellness.

I've had a diverse background in business, professional sports, corporate training, management consulting, the chaplaincy, bariatrics, pain management, addiction, psychophysiology, behavioral medicine, neurofeedback and photobiomodulation. Harville Hendrix of "Getting the Love You Want" was my supervisor for 8 years. Hence, I truly enjoy a wide range of issues and personalities. I'm compassionate but direct in my style and often described as "Dr. Phil, with a heart". No therapist has your answers, but if we ask the right questions, in the context of genuine care, safety, and respect, you will discover your truth and find your way.

While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. All of the therapists here believe that what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. You'll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique or two that you can go home and start using immediately. All eight of our therapists are highly trained, personable, and ready to give you the stills and techniques you need.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals, families and teens (ages 13 and up), with a specialty in working with Couples. I have 15 years of experience in the counseling field. I use a growth-oriented approach in helping my clients create positive life changes. These changes will inevitably enhance and build on their existing strengths, insights, and skills while they cultivate new ones. I truly believe that most people instinctively know what is best for them and their situation. However, we sometimes do not follow our instincts for a variety of reasons including situational circumstances, unhealthy relationships, and low self-esteem.

I specialize in psychological evaluations to address mood/behavioral disorders, learning disabilties, ADHD, and parental issues. My focus in therapy is in helping the client develop a stronger sense of self-sufficiency and wholeness. It takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and be vulnerable, and I strive to honor this. Therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic alliance and clear goals; therefore, these are the main focus of the initial therapy sessions. I have worked with a variety of clients from childhood to middle adulthood, and through relationship and consistency am able to help clients make valuable and lasting change.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you worried about your relationship with your spouse or teen? Our counseling sessions offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and concerns without judgment. It's an opportunity to gain insight into yourself and your relationships, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in your life. Kristi Vanderpool can help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve your personal goals.

Choosing to begin therapy is often a hard decision; however, when you find a psychologist who is a good fit for you, therapy often leads to many positive outcomes, including feeling calmer and thinking more clearly. My approach is to provide a collaborative, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment in which my clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and relationships. I work with my clients to help them determine what they have control over and which strategies can help them feel better. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and 25 years of experience, working with individual adults, adolescents, and couples.

Healing from anything life throws our way is a process and a journey. All we have is the present moment, so why not make the best of it? Dealing with trauma, depression, grief, and mental illness is never easy but allow me to help you navigate those waters. Healing begins from the inside out so let us learn how to take charge of your thoughts, feelings, and actions to bring brighter tomorrows. What is important to you is important to me. Every day is the first day of the rest of your life!

My practice focuses on providing a goal-oriented therapeutic experience for my clients. I have many years of experience working in multiple settings and am aware of the difficulties we face in today's society. During sessions together, I will help set goals and develop an atmosphere of trust, fostering open discussion of the client's thoughts and feelings. I work with teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, chronic health issues, emotional/behavior concerns, learning disabilities, relationship/family issues, and grief/loss.

Do you find yourself thinking "I'm not good enough" or constantly second-guessing yourself? Does shame or guilt keep you stuck? Is anxiety or past trauma making it feel like life is out of control? Maybe you find yourself thinking unwanted negative thoughts that you just ruminate on daily. You might be feeling frustrated because it feels like you've tried everything to stop feeling this way. Perhaps you're seeing patterns in your relationships: poor or no communication, not setting important boundaries in your relationships, or avoiding conflict in your relationships which only makes things worse. You're not sure how to fix it.

Feeling stuck, hopeless, or stressed can be overwhelming. You’ve come to the right place! I offer a warm and casual style to help you reach your toughest goals. I will encourage you to make positive changes toward personal growth while helping you understand yourself better. I can teach you effective coping skills that you can use now and later. I recognize the vulnerability it takes to begin therapy; thus, I take a personalized psychotherapy approach with each client while utilizing evidenced-based practices.

Do you feel ashamed of how your life is going? Are you embarrassed to openly admit how unhealthy your family dynamics are or how your romantic relationship is going? I'm here for you. We all suffer from some shame at some point in our lives, and I firmly believe that shame makes us feel that we are out of place in society and that others can easily spot us for how damaged, messed up, or flawed we are. That we "stick out like a sore thumb." Perhaps you have tried your minister or rabbi to no avail. Maybe you have shared your struggles with your friends and neighbors, but nothing helped.

Feeling like life is an endless obstacle course? Whether you're adulting like a pro or juggling the drama of teendom, I've got your back. Let's chat and navigate the maze of life together, because finding your happy place is worth the adventure!

Are you feeling hopeless, anxious, and having a difficult time coping with current life changes? Feeling depressed and experiencing difficulty identifying and expressing your emotions? Experienced childhood trauma that was never addressed or processed? Allow me to help you navigate and process these things. I believe that early intervention can significantly impact a child in adulthood, and addressing /processing childhood trauma can change your life.
