Narrative Therapists in Tucker, GA

Thanks for reading my profile, I’m glad you’re here. As a therapist I see myself as a guide—walking with you through whatever life has brought you, and will continue to bring. You deserve to know yourself well and to move towards peace. My goal is to offer an environment where you can take an honest look at who you are and your circumstances while providing empathy and a chance to be heard. I kindly challenge harmful ways of thinking and suggest new avenues for growth. My practice style is influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Ecological Systems Theory, and others.

I have spent several years in the corporate world, public service, and the mental health field, and each position has enabled me to adapt to change quickly and to work well under pressure. I have developed a tenacity towards growing and further developing in my purpose of helping others that I feel truly translates in the therapy room with my clients. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, and children, who want to experience the happiness that is much deserved in their life, along with working through a variety of mental health diagnoses, trauma, life changes, and difficult circumstances.

I was struggling to cope with a disability, depression, and anger between the ages 16 to 23. I was in a car accident in 1999 that severely damaged my spinal cord and caused me to rely on the use of a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Building a relationship with God helped me to overcome my disability, depression and anger. It also gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, faith building, forgiveness, gratitude, and discussing my concerns with Christian counselors.

Hello, I’m Kelley. My clients are often sensitive, resilient, and creative individuals who feel stuck, exhausted, hurt, or frustrated in their relationships and within themselves. Using a Narrative Therapy framework, I strive to understand each client's unique story. The question I ask is not "What is wrong with you?" but "What has happened to you?" My approach is grounded in a systems perspective, offering a non-pathologizing, compassionate view that acknowledges the profound impact of trauma and/or systemic oppression on an individual’s health and well-being.

I believe deeply in the power of psychotherapy and want to share that passion with my clients. With a warm, supportive, and encouraging style, I want to accompany my clients on their journey of healing and personal growth. I desire to help my clients learn to reframe their narratives and adjust the coping styles that may no longer be serving them. Through empowerment and skill-building in a safe space, I believe my clients will learn that there are boundless opportunities for each of us to become our true, authentic, and very best selves.

Empowering you with the tools and supports needed to resolve emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns is my goal. Operating from a strengths-based perspective, I meet you where you are on your personal journeys and facilitate a path for you to lead a more productive life. I strongly believe you have the skills needed to fulfill life goals and overcome challenges; but sometimes a guide is needed to address patterns of behaviors and problematic thinking that may be hindering your success. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where growth, self-exploration and positive change can occur.

Hi there & Welcome! Let’s get to healing! I approach therapy from a very open-minded and affirming perspective. I believe that everyone can benefit from adding acceptance and confidence into their lives, and it is my goal as a therapist to help you maximize your life by guiding you through healing past wounds that are holding you back from experiencing all that life has to offer. As a couple's therapist, I can teach you how break unhelpful cycles and how to develop healthy communication. As an eating disorder therapist, I can help you gain food freedom, body neutrality, and learn how to prevent relapses.

All of us have found ourselves at some point feeling stuck - wanting our story to look different, but without the tools and experiences to make that happen. As a therapist with over 14 years of professional experience, I believe growth happens best combined with compassion, gentle challenge, creativity & humor. Understanding that what happens to us impacts our mind and our body, I individualize treatment which addresses mind, body and experiences. I provide a safe space to create healthy thoughts, attitudes, & behaviors along with the tools to sustain them. I work with adolescents & adults in individual, couples, & family sessions.

During the last 45 plus years, I have provided experiential psychotherapy to children, teens, and adults in individual, couple, family, and group settings. I have given over 800 lectures on the subjects of divorce, parenting, transgender, family play therapy, supervision, learning disabilities, grief, ADHD, play therapy, adolescence, etc. I am a registered play therapist, certified in EMDR, and provide supervision and consultation to other psychotherapists.

Life transitions and struggles offer the opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, increased confidence, and personal satisfaction. To be human is to feel emotion, both the highs and the lows. We are all connected through not only these experiences, but through the relationships with those around us. Therapy is a unique and personal journey built on mutual trust and respect. My perspective is strengths-based, LGBTQIA-affirmative, and integrative. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, bodies, and beliefs. My approach is individualized and collaborative.

My life's work has been dedicated to the service to others. I greatly enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, ethnicities and belief systems. I will support you in addressing the problem(s) that you or your loved one is facing. I will join with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your reasons for seeking help. My experiences include working with a myriad of mental health issues in children, teens and adults.

"I believe in creating a safe and active environment where skills and tools needed to change or successfully transition through a life challenge can be developed and practiced. Everyone has the capability to excel and feel successful, especially when meaningful and doable steps are discovered. All of this occurs when you build trusting and genuine relationships." -Katrina

Welcome, I’m Matthew, and I'm here to guide you on a transformative journey towards a more authentic, fulfilling, and purposeful life. As you embark on this exciting new chapter, I want you to know that I'll meet you right where you are, and that I’ll be on your team. It's incredibly important to me that everyone feels welcomed and valued, regardless of their orientation, race, background, or identity.

From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one’s fears, perception, desires, and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation, and fuller life.

Hi, I'm Amy. Therapy is a way to honor and care for yourself and I'm glad that you are doing so. Whether you are going through a difficult time or your daily life has you unsettled, I am here to help. If you are "just getting through" each day and feeling overwhelmed, please know I understand. If you are grieving a loss and finding it hard to cope, I have been there too. Life's inevitable difficulties brought me to a place that inspired me to help others going through similar circumstances. My goal is to help you get through the hard stuff and find more peace and harmony in your life.

Embracing a holistic view of human psychology, I incorporate several modalities into my work with clients including CBT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches. I seek to help individuals identify and use their own unique strengths to experience empowerment, find new ways to cope and build resiliency to stress and anxiety, all while finding meaning in their narratives and regaining control of their lives through self-care; leaving them feeling centered, balanced, and confident. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative process in which the therapist and client work together to bring positive change and growth.
