Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I have an expertise in addiction and codependency. My favorite clinical skills are teaching clients how to take care of themselves and gain insight on where they begin and others end.

At Orion Psychotherapy, our mission is to support the expressive experiences of adolescents, adults, couples, and families, facilitating meaningful discovery and intentional change. With a Humanistic foundation and a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are and tailor techniques to your unique challenges. To be frank, I do much more than ask good questions and provide affirming vibes. I view treating mental illness and fostering mental health as distinct skills, encouraging clients to invest as much effort in addressing negative and dissociative emotions as they do in cultivating positive ones.

When you don't feel like yourself anymore. You might find yourself acting almost like a different person: snapping at loved ones, feeling threatened, sleeplessness and nightmares, anxiety or depression... It can be confusing and uncomfortable. It can feel like there is a line between two worlds of "you before" and "you after". It's hard to know when you can fix the problem yourself, and when to ask for help, but what you're doing isn't working. It is possible to return to a new version of the old you. You don't have to be a slave to your emotions anymore. You and I work together to build the skills you need to cope.

Over the last 8 years of working as a therapist, I've seen and experiencing everything. From children struggling in the schools, to woman struggling with everyday life problems, I've realized one thing that they have in common-hope. Hope is important when coming to therapy. You are hoping to feel better; you are hoping to come to become a new person. I want us to work on how we treat ourselves allows others to treat us in the same way. My goal as a therapist is to help you help yourself. As a Reality therapist, I focus on your current relationships and conflicts.

As the 1st Black female Brainspotting trainer in the world, I seek to humanize mental health struggles, representation and champion therapy to everyone as the path to normalizing/living a healthy, active, fulfilling life. Freedom, self-confidence, courage, a healthy sense of self; what's stopping you? Barriers to acceptance exist, often buried deep within the layers of experience, trauma, divorce, unmet needs, unhealed hurts, depression, anxiety, less than desired self esteem, family systems, unhealthy relationships, anger, feelings of being misunderstood, symptoms of diagnosis, poor communication skills and the list goes on.

At times things can become so overwhelming that it can create one developing unhealthy habits such as overeating, arguments in relationships, and difficulties at work. There are also cultural factures that can hinder mental health growth, and learning how to appropriately incorporate some cultural practices in therapy can be beneficial. Being a single parent, serious medical diagnosis, self-esteem, and major transitions, can also cause a lot of distress, and learning how to apply distress tolerance and using interpersonal effectiveness tools for a healthy communication can help reduce/decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Sometimes life throws us a curveball leaving us stunned, stuck, or having a hard time figuring out how to move forward. You may feel like you have put your all into something for it to all come to a crash. Life is hard because it seems like you just can’t get with it, leaving you feeling unmotivated, confused, and not sure of what to do next. You may be having unexplained mood swings, depression that may feel like you can’t shake it off, anxiety, or grief and loss. Grief and loss can take many forms such as a loss of a loved one, a relationship, major life change or move, loss of a business, job of livelihood, or even sense of self.
