Women's Issues Therapists in Decatur, GA

Welcome!, my name is Destiny and I am a licensed professional counselor, certified trauma professional, and EMDR-Trained therapist practicing in the state of Georgia for four year and now Florida. However, I have been in the mental health field as a student, paraprofessional, advocate, and blogger for 6 years. Over the years I have worked with many diverse individuals and groups in inpatient, private practice, residential, and corrections. I specialize in trauma-informed care, mood disorders, and women's issues.

I am a relational psychotherapist, which means that I believe relationships (with family, friends, coworkers, higher powers, our relationship with our self, etc.) often play a role in our suffering and, yet, also play a crucial role in our healing. Relatedly, the relationship between the therapist and client is of utmost importance and requires trust and authenticity for both parties involved. In my work with clients, I use a variety of individualized, eclectic approaches to help each person meet their goals and needs. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, empowering, and collaborative.

Feeling overwhelmed and tired of situations/outcomes not meeting your expectations? Burdened with emotions that are difficult to manage? Are you now questioning decisions about work, family and love? You no longer have to manage this on your own. Finding a professional who can provide safety around the expression of emotions, feelings and thoughts is the key to a therapeutic relationship. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be a privilege to do the same for you.

Are you ready to cultivate healing and become your best, authentic self? If you answered yes, making the decision to pursue therapy is important and can assist you to maximize your greatest potential and improve overall mental wellness! Life can be filled with swift transitions; therefore, it is my commitment to provide a welcoming environment for my clients to navigate through challenges they may face, impacting their mental health. As a therapist, I am compassionate and committed to helping others by providing support, guidance, expertise, to cultivate personal growth and mental wellness.

My practice is founded on the belief that despite our life challenges, there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud that is waiting to be found. Whether the rainbow represents a diverse group of people coming together, the promise of a better life, or a pot of shining gold waiting at the end, one thing is true: rainbows are often a symbol of hope, and that is exactly what I hold for each person with whom I work: HOPE.

Changing your perspective can change your life. Together, we can work to identify and challenge the thought processes that are keeping you stuck in feelings and situations that are no longer acceptable. I work from the basis that you know the solutions, we just need to work together to identify and implement them.

As an LCSW, I'm dedicated to helping clients navigate life's stressors, including postpartum periods and common mental health issues. My unique perspective as an African American therapist allows me to specialize in serving Aferican American men and women, particularly men, ensuring meaningful therapeutic connections. Through flexible sessions, we set goals and manage symptoms. I believe in therapy's transformative power and help clients tap into inner strength and personal growth. As a self-pay practice, I guarantee utmost privacy and respect.

Let's face it: life is messy. We are all broken people living in a broken world and doing the best that we can. And sometimes our best just doesn't seem to be good enough. We can find ourselves disillusioned and heartbroken and yet we don't know how we wound up here. We long for more out of this life and yet we don't know how to get there. Whether you are grieving a loss, struggling to make a decision, or simply find yourself stuck in a rut, counseling can help you understand not just the origin of your problems but also assist you in developing practical coping skills and solutions.

My name is Chrishina J. Scott. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have 15 years of experience in clinical mental health. I work with adults ages 18 and older who have Life Transitions, Stress, Anxiety, Women's Issues, and Coping Skills. My primary treatment approach is Solution Focused Brief Therapy. However, I am skilled in utilizing other treatment modalities to help you reach your goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Supportive Therapy. I believe that life is all about trial and error.

There are few things harder than asking for help. Sometimes people seek counseling for this help and sometimes they just want to make positive changes in their lives.  I aim to build genuine and productive connections with clients, incorporating a relaxed setting and humor when appropriate. Counseling may be a hard journey, but things like trust and comfort level can create an ideal setting for growth. - I am currently taking on new clients. However, I am not seeing couples, those struggling with eating disorders, or substance abuse.

I am that trusted confidant that holds your hand while we walk into the darkness and then I guide you to the light as we rejoice in your victory together? Welcome to the domain of healing and transformation. I can assist in bringing you to a level beyond self awareness to a higher order of awareness to connect you to your joy, your potential and your purpose!

You feel like you're not a good enough mother, but you're afraid to admit it to anyone so you're feeling more alone than you ever imagined. It wasn't supposed to be like this. How are other people doing it? You're feeling so overwhelmed you can't think straight, and can hardly handle what used to feel like the simplest of tasks... You're wondering if you'll ever get your old life back, if you'll ever be able to go through the day without crying or lashing out at the people you love most. I get it, and I can help.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 9 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help others since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That be said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

Are you experiencing a decline in sexual satisfaction or pleasure? Do you and your partner have different sexual preferences? Are you a consensual non-monogamist or exploring CNM and looking for a supportive space to talk? Are you 65+ and experiencing changes in sexual functioning or the loss of a partner? I work with clients of all ages, orientations/identities, and relationship structures. My goal is to support clients in their own journey towards a healthy, sexual relationship with self and others.

If you’re like most people, you probably have some challenges in your life that you’ve talked over with your friends, family, and maybe even your minister. That can help with some problems. But, when the issues keep coming up, it may be time to invest in yourself by setting aside time to make a lasting change. Are you having relationship issues? Is fear or anxiety causing you to avoid things you'd like to do? Have you been depressed and uninterested in things that you usually love? Are you feeling stuck and unable to move on? If you answered YES to any of these questions, I can help you find a life worth living.

I'm passionate about supporting individuals through the transitions of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Pregnancy and parenthood can be a complex time, and you may find yourself overwhelmed by feelings that are preventing you from experiencing life as you would like. Some of these feelings may be new, while others are old feelings and struggles that have returned in a new light. Asking for help can be hard, but your feelings are valid, and you deserve support. I offer a safe and nonjudgemental space for you to feel heard, respected, and understood.

So, I heard you’re ready to change this year! I heard you’re ready to set boundaries and stop letting things slide! I heard you’re tired of feeling raggedy, disconnected, and not like yourself just to make others feel comfortable! You know there has to be another way! Let’s work together to figure out the old patterns of behaviors that keep you stuck and feeling like everyone is playing with your emotions. We can figure out what you need to stop pretending like you are okay and can just simply push through. Everyone has a breaking point! Let’s figure out how to live the life your desire! Let's get to work! You got this!
