Expressive Arts Therapists in Marietta, GA

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with trauma. I believe that through a combination of expressive arts and talk therapy, clients can achieve positive growth and healing. I hope my energetic and creative approach to therapy provides an environment where you feel welcomed, supported, and understood. I strive to consider your unique perspective and needs throughout the process of change by implementing various therapy modalities. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you feel empowered, supported, and encouraged throughout the therapeutic process.

I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and adults from all backgrounds and walks of life. In my work, I leverage the power of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and expressive arts techniques to help my clients find healing and peace. I have experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, life transitions and major life changes, family or relational issues, and grief and loss.

Whether you're an adult struggling with the ever-changing chaos and challenges in life or a parent who's seeking support and stability for their child or family, I acknowledge your bravery in taking this step towards change. Beginning counseling and sharing aspects of your story that feel delicate, messy, painful, or unfixable can feel daunting, but I strive to foster a safe, validating, and inclusive environment where clients feel free to show up as themselves and guide them in recognizing their own inner strengths and resilience. I look forward to walking alongside you in this journey and helping you reach your goals!

My name is Tori, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe the you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth.

Welcome! My clients are often looking for relationally-based therapy that recognizes their strengths and takes a collaborative approach to working together. My youngest clients are often recovering from traumatic losses and in need of support as they learn new ways of regulating their emotions and dealing with anxiety in relationships at home and in school. Adult clients are often looking for help with various forms of trauma, anxiety, grief, chronic stress/burnout, depression, and ambiguous loss. I use foundational approaches of interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory to tailor therapy to each client's unique needs.

Lauren works with elementary, middle, and high school kids and their families. She takes pride in being flexible and creative with her approach to meet the needs of various ages and personalities, and incorporates everything from expressive arts, to video games, to mindfulness scripts. For teen and adult clients she strives to help individuals identify the unhelpful beliefs they hold about themselves and learn to love themselves through self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and experiencing empathy in her office. Lauren loves working with clients and parents to help them navigate their lives with calm and confidence.

You are on the search for something...Whether it is clarity, peace, happiness, support, or the freedom to finally explore who YOU truly are. We often may feel the pressure to appear we have it all together when deep inside we are fighting a battle within. This journey that you are on, no longer has to be walked alone. I commend you for acknowledging your pain and seeking out ways to help yourself. I provide individual therapy to young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and struggles within interpersonal relationships. I also provide expressive arts grief groups see below:

We all want to feel heard and express ourselves in a way that feels comfortable. For some, it may not solely be through verbal communication. I enjoy working alongside my clients to establish a therapeutic relationship that provides a foundation to identify goals and move toward them together utilizing mindfulness, skill building and person-centered talk therapy as appropriate. I focus on each individuals journey and meeting the individual where they are.

Do you find that your child has low self-esteem or problems in school? Do you ever feel confused or frustrated when dealing with your children's behaviors? As a therapist who works with children, I work with personal strengths and tailor each session to their specific needs. I enjoy working with the family to create a fluid and open communication with each other. I believe each person and family is unique unto themselves and can create change and positively grow as a unit.

There's no need to be anybody but yourself. Understanding ourselves can feel harmonious and at other times exhausting. You might feel lost, isolated, and disconnected. These are very real, human feelings, and I am committed to help you navigate all of them. I assist children, teens, and adults struggling with severe depression, identity, borderline personality disorder, gaming addiction, and ADHD. I also work with high performing professionals and artists. Our therapeutic relationship is a collaboration, and I prioritize our authentic connection above all else. We will focus on the things that matter to you most.

*Online therapy services* Hello and welcome to WELLA Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about working with people who decide to improve their lives through therapy.

I believe that self-awareness is one of the core pillars that aid in the alleviation of suffering. The simplest of lifestyle changes can create immense improvements in the quality of one’s life. Establishing a safe and trusting relationship with a therapist, can relieve psychological and physical imbalances, as well as uncover the unhealthy habits, patterns, and behaviors that lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and chronic pain. My practice focuses on the specific needs of women and girls throughout the lifespan.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide support to children and families with a variety of presenting concerns. I serve children ages 3-18 and young adults. I provide parent coaching as a Certified Positive Discipline Early Childhood Educator. When clients come to me, they are typically looking to help a child or themselves modify a behavior. I often educate clients that behavior is a form of communication. When we can learn what a maladaptive behavior is trying to communicate, we can work together to find a way to alter it.
