In Person Therapists in Scottdale, GA

I strive to provide a safe space to help you create balance in life by exploring your attachments, limiting beliefs, emotions, and behaviors to strengthen your individual sense of self and confidently face life’s many challenges.

Hello! I am located in Atlanta, Georgia, but provide telehealth in MD, VA, FL, WV, & NC. I specialize in working with children, teens, families, and adult individuals who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, or have experienced trauma. I have extensive experience supporting the adoption triad, and LGBTQ+ kids, families, and individuals. Rather than have a “one size fits all” perspective, I use a blend of treatment approaches to meet each client’s individual needs including play therapy, mindfulness and body-based work, CBT, ERP, EMDR, attachment and trauma-informed approaches.

I provide play therapy to children ages 2-11 years who are challenged with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Anger/Behavior Challenges, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Grief/Loss. I also do parent coaching with parents of kids struggling with said challenges. Together we can work on improving executive functioning skills, social skills, increase self-esteem and self-confidence, and work to decrease anxious thoughts, obsessions and compulsions, and episodes of dysregulation.

Whether you're facing a point of challenge, a period of crisis, or a chronic issue, I welcome the opportunity to bring my experience and training alongside your experience, values, and goals. Together, we can make something decent of this strange, messy, and perhaps even beautiful world.

There are many things that may impact a person's ability to lead a full life, including challenges at work or school, relationship issues, depression and anxiety, and past traumas or losses. My goal as a therapist is to help clients move through their challenges and develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they are able to live more satisfying and present lives. I do this by assisting clients in processing their feelings and identifying and connecting the things that have shaped them - including their relationships, thoughts, and attachment/trauma experiences - to their current issues.

I specialize in working with helping adults handle everyday life stressors. Those who are tired, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, and just need a way to get through this crazy thing we call life! You want to find ways to handle it all, while still displaying that inner glow you know you have! You want to find yourself again after heartbreak, an empty nest, or a devastating loss. You want to learn how to manage your partner, kids, work, social obligations, and all the extras that come with it! You just need a woo-sah moment on the regular!

Do you feel stressed every time you walk through your front door and overwhelmed by family conflicts? Do you struggle with your child's behavior or worry about their progress with peers and at school? At Firefly Wellness Counseling, we offer therapeutic services for individuals ages three and up who are tired of struggling. Imgaine having the skills to communicate with your child in a way that reduces conflict, helps your child feel empowered, and helps them be the wonderful individual they are. Whether through play therapy, parent coaching, or individual counseling, we can help your family reach those goals.

You've been feeling like you just aren't as happy as you could be. It's hard to stop your mind from overthinking and worrying about everything, sometimes even getting to the point of feeling panicky. Or maybe you just feel stuck and like you aren't satisfied with life even though you "should be." Maybe you've had a little bit of therapy before, but it feels like just talking about your problems isn't enough. You're looking for real life skills you can use to help yourself think, feel and live better.

I utilize my emotional intelligence and intuitiveness to join the journey of others and increase their fortitude to navigate through difficult challenges together. I believe that a therapeutic alliance tailored for each individual drives the momentum necessary to enhance their level of empowerment which recharges, reconnects, and reclaims their perception of happiness. We are entitled to enjoy the abundance of life and that is unlimited and determined by our terms. It is our choices that directs our path to an unapologetic abundant life.

You are smart and resourceful, but your emotional difficulties and insecurities have proven to be more stubborn than other problems you've faced. Despite learning a lot about yourself through self-inquiry, reading, and prior experiences with therapy, you have once again come to the point of feeling stuck. You may feel like you are falling short of your potential. You may be exhausted yet too stressed out to rest. You may be too burnt out to work - almost as if you are broken. You may be experiencing intense feelings without obvious cause. Or maybe your relationship or parenting situation is so high-conflict that you feel hopeless.

Psychotherapy is my second career. As an attorney, I enjoyed working one-on-one with people, and I found myself drawn to my client's personal stories. After many years in law, I decided that a career as a therapist was my true passion. I employ a variety of approaches in my work including Dialetical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I have particular expertise in helping trauma survivors. I help people heal from complex trauma by providing a safe, caring, non-judgmental therapeutic environment.

Are you ready to live a healthier life, emotionally? Today can be the beginning of a new tomorrow. I enjoy working with individuals (olders adolescents and adults) that have challenges with depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships/personality challenges, as well as serious mental illness. The client is the focus of therapy and we will work together to develop a personalized treatment for you. I use an eclectic mix of treatment approaches that vary based on the challenge of the client. I enjoy helping individuals reach their full potential.

As a licensed clinical psychologist (GA) and certified school psychologist (GA) I provide psychoeducation and mental health evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults. I also provide individual therapy to adults for depression, anxiety, grief/loss, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. I am a client-centered therapist who seeks to meet my clients where they are but also encourages them to test the limits and build upon what they have. I believe therapy is a wonderful tool that can be used to help someone through a particularly difficult time while serving as a place to check in on progress.

I specialize in sex therapy. Simply put I want to help people get comfortable so they can thrive in their sexuality and as a sexual (or A-sexual) being. I work with individuals with issues ranging from coping with Herpes and HIV, opening their relationships, healing attachment wounds, and overcoming jealousy. I am an LGBTQ+, intersex, kink and poly/enm affirming provider.

Does the thought of continuing along the same path you are currently on seem exhausting? Are you feeling down, find yourself anxious, stressed about life, struggling with relationships, and maybe not even sure why? While we can’t go back and change the past, we can start today and make a new ending. Whether you are struggling with aspects of your personal life, or your career, we can work together to help you gain understanding, implement strategies & make better choices that impact your work & personal life.

Nice to meet you! Unforeseen challenges and issues going on in the world can leave you reeling. Maybe you've been a pillar of strength to those around you but, at the same time, there seems to be no space left for you to meet your own needs. Self-critical thoughts, perfectionism and fear of falling behind can leave you feeling stuck: you want a better life for yourself and, at the same time, change seems daunting. Therapy can provide an accepting, wellness-focused environment for you to move to a place of growth and positive change.
