Therapists in Sandy Springs, GA

Why is my marriage so difficult? Should we get couples counseling? Why are my other relationships leaving me feeling hopeless? Why me? You need understanding and answers and a way of being that brings you peace and happiness. I have worked with and helped many individuals and couples asking these very questions. Whether you are suffering from relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress I understand and can help. You have the ability to make positive changes in your life you just need the tools to do so. Together we can understand these unwanted detours and learn how to manage next time more successfully.

*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children* We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice in the East Cobb area of Marietta. I have 35 years of experience as a counselor and have been in private practice for 25 years. I see adults for individual and marital/couples therapy and specialize in helping people with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety/panic, trauma, grief, marital and relationship problems, ADD/ADHD, and life transitions. I will work with you by blending traditional therapy methods with mind/body techniques to help you achieve change in your life.

I help people find their courage to learn new behavior, build better relationships, embrace change, overcome negative effects of damaging life experiences, resolve grief, and transform losses into well-earned wisdom and productive action. Getting "unstuck" requires new perspectives, persistence while sorting through complexities and confusion, and practice with new skills and strategies. I strive to be kind, ethical, informative, interactive, responsive, and a rigorous "coach" who can be helpful to you.

I specialize in working with children age 5+, adolescents and their families. Together, we’ll create a plan to navigate family conflict, school performance issues, social difficulties, divorce, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, mood dysregulation and behavioral difficulties. For my adult clients, therapeutic issues typically focus on depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship concerns, stress management, self-esteem, marital/relationship discord, and life transitions. For couples considering divorce or divorcing, I have been trained in Collaborative Law Practice.

My name is Tandy Mackey and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Atlanta, Georgia, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in Family Systems, Emotional Family Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Therapy, Attachment Theory, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, Supportive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to assist my clients in being the better version of themselves so they can feel better.

I enjoy helping individuals and couples find hope, healing, and peace within themselves and their relationships. Together we will develop effective strategies to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I believe that counseling can be instrumental in helping individuals know themselves more deeply which will facilitate changes that will positively affect not only their relationships but also their personal self-concept. I work with couples to create a measurable plan to get their relationship back on track. I also offer premarital counseling for those beginning their marriage journey to develop a firm foundation for the future.

Are you feeling stressed, uncertain, anxious, and overwhelmed by daily stressors or life transitions? Maybe you are experiencing emotional stressors, social deficits, or connection/relationship difficulties? My goal as a therapist is to help you develop a creative plan to learn and implement coping skills to overcome these struggles. I treat clients from all walks of life and of all ages. I treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, work or school issues, relationship issues, trauma, parenting, behavioral issues, and marital issues including divorce.

I enjoy working with people who struggle with problematic sexual behavior (sexual addiction), partners who have been through betrayal trauma, couples in recovery, and general marriage counseling. Intimacy development in relationships is also one of my passions.

Life and our experiences change us, and those experiences alter who we are. Let’s work together to find a pathway back to a better version of yourself. With my expertise working with depression, anxiety, codependency issues, interpersonal conflict, bipolar disorder, and my favorite, grief, we will collaborate to develop realistic coping skills that you can apply to your every day life.

Do you find yourself facing a chasm between where you are now and where you want to be? I'm here to support you in recognizing and leveraging your strengths to bridge that divide. I hope to come alongside you to tackle challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, or any other obstacles hindering your path to a fulfilling and joyful life. I strongly believe in the transformative power of relationships. My goal is to cultivate a positive, collaborative therapeutic relationship with you and, in turn, support you in strengthening your relationships with others. My approach is empathetic, accepting, and supportive.

There are times where we need a bit more support and perhaps an unbiased non-judgmental person to offer that lending ear. Depression, anxiety and stressors can be debilitating for anyone who has been affected by it regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Therapy is a journey that can offer that support in which the therapist and client work together collaboratively in care. We will both row that boat together to get you to your established goal.

Every client is unique and, thus, deserves a unique approach. I enjoy helping each patient identify their individual challenges and develop a plan that meets them where they are. I believe meeting each client where they are in their lives is vital to effective therapy and change. I use various approaches, including CBT, solution-focused, and strength-based therapies. I also enjoy family systems therapy to help families restore and develop healthy relationships.

There are few things braver than acknowledging when we need help and can no longer do life on our own. As a therapist, I count it my highest privilege to be a part of your story, to come alongside you in the midst of pain, hurt, confusion, loss, or tension, and to help you make sense of it all. I have five key concepts that motivate me as a therapist: story, space, acknowledgement, celebration, and growth. Stories matter. Including yours. And your story isn’t finished yet. Every time we meet, I want you to know and experience that this is your space, a space where you are free and safe to bring any and all of who you are.

Hi there! I understand the experiences you’ve had leading up to this decision may have been difficult, and you were able to navigate them the best way possible so far. Reaching out for the help you deserve speaks to your determination to be on a better path! I would be happy to join your support system and be there with you through whatever barriers you may encounter on this journey. These barriers might surface in many different ways: anxiety, depression, struggles with eating, identity crises, social conflicts, trouble focusing, low self-esteem, trauma and/or everyday problems that just don’t seem to let up.

Let's start the journey of of living a happier, healthier, and make more memories by TALK IT OUT, not TOUGH IT OUT. Contact me today so we can get started.
