Behavioral Issues Therapists in Decatur, GA

I am a highly experienced and versatile psychologist. I specialize in helping men deal with both typical and atypical issues, concerns and life problems. Men encounter a wide-range of issues such as: career dissatisfaction, anger management, relationship concerns, various addictions, anxiety, depression, sexual and career performance issues, estrangement, and impulse control. I like to work with couples and families as well. When men need help, there is a small window of opportunity and time is of the essence. The Atlanta Psychotherapy Center for Men can help.

I work with many people who feel overwhelmed by stress, have lost sense of meaning in their lives, or feel out of control. They repeat the same life patterns again and again. Clients may have focused on the opinions of others more than their own, entered relationships/jobs they never wanted, or feel generally unfulfilled. My clients want to learn how to be happy again or for the first time. My therapeutic style builds on client self-acceptance, empowerment, and coping skills. We work together to help gain control over decisions, values, and communication styles.

I am a Licensed Master of Social Work. In this day and time Mental Health is something that is not only overlooked but often misunderstood.  I strive to provide needed support for my clients no matter what life challenges they may be facing. I work with them to pilot through these challenges of life, whether they are personal, with family, or with peers.  My ideal clients are millennials who find themselves facing challenges navigating through the transition to adulthood. In many cases, this transition can cause stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues.

As a mental health clinician, I specialize in working with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My foundational approach to client-care is Person-Centered Theory, integrated with various evidence-based interventions to address individual needs. My love for animals and belief in the human-animal bond inspired me to include therapy animals in my counseling practice. I have two registered therapy animal teams, my dog Koda, and cat Tiggy.

I work with adolescents and adults surrounding difficulties with anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, parenting, and managing the stresses of college or work or striving to find your own work-life balance. I will work together with you, both as a guide and as your team member, to help you set goals and work to meet those personal goals. I will help you to not only alleviate your symptoms as quickly as possible, but will help you to understand the causes of your difficulties sufficiently so that you will less likely experience a re-emergence of symptoms as soon as therapy ends.

Hello & welcome! My passion lies with assisting individuals who have challenges with anxiety, depression, mood instability, medical trauma, life-transitions, under-controlled and over-controlled traits, women’s health, belongingness, and self-esteem. Through my work-related experiences at 3 residential programs, a non-profit, and private practice, it has truly been a privilege aiding diverse populations. They never fail to show me that no one is too broken, hopeless, or unworthy of having a life that is worth living.

Gye Nyame -"I fear none but God!" "Only through peace of mind can you thrive"- Is your relationship not what you envisioned it? Are you demoralized by the demands of everyday stresses, devastated by uncontrollable grief and loss, apprehensive and uncertain about how to re-gain control of your life? Do you have unresolved significant emotional feelings which are keeping you from moving on in your life and or relationships? Are you frustrated, overwhelmed, burned out, depressed, lack motivation and are going through power struggle with your children and adolescents?

Welcome! I believe in therapy that affirms, empowers, and supports people to recognize patterns, navigate changes, bolster personal growth and self-worth, and figure things out.Collaboration with the folks I work with is of utmost importance to me, guided by clinical theory and evidence-based therapeutic techniques that work for you.I utilize a strengths based, anti-racist, intersectional feminist approach.

Love and Connection in life should not be confusing. But there is always a risk when it comes to getting those two critical human relational needs. Many times relationships feel like a dance, and feeling lost with no road map? It can often turn into division or discomfort, but does it always have to be that way? Emotionally Focused Therapy is a proven, evidence-based method that enhances couples' ability to gain Love and Connection through safety and security. And I would love to be that resource, coach, advocate to help partners sustain longevity in their relationship without leading to isolation or further hurt.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. I work to help clients achieve psychological wellness and experience their lives with a sense of peace, satisfaction, and hope. I promote clients' ability to identify their goals, achieve them, and ultimately create the life they want. I use various cognitive behavioral strategies to promote strengths, while empowering clients to recognize, understand, and adaptively manage life's challenges. I know that life is challenging - full of highs and lows. I also know that within the context of supportive relationships and with sincere efforts, people can thrive.

My approach is largely cognitive-behavioral. This means that I believe that one’s thought patterns contribute to one’s feelings and behaviors, and in changing faulty thought processes, we can achieve improvement. My work is solution-focused, which means that I push toward change, setting concrete, attainable goals. I also believe that we are products of our environments. Thus, I often guide clients in examining past patterns and relationships to determine where their symptoms were learned. This is done in an attempt to change maladaptive patterns. It is my goal to be nurturing, empathic, & supportive through this process.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of: Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Behavioral Problems Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Depression, and Anxiety Disorders I particularly enjoy assessments where I can help solve the mystery of how to best help students who are struggling academically.

Even without a pandemic, life can present with struggle, hardship, or overwhelming challenges. We all have many parts, some react, some retreat, some feel stuck, and some feel resigned to life's circumstances. All of our parts are well-intended, but sometimes they cast a shadow, and all we see is one part of ourselves. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, generalized stress, hopelessness, or relationship issues, obstacles don't have to define you. We will help you build upon strengths, gain new perspective, redefine stories that no longer fit, and form a stronger, healthier connection with self and others.

Life can be overwhelming and for many, traumatic events stifle holistic growth and wellness. Most people desire to live lives that are fulfilling and successful, complete with passion and passion. The "overcoming" is one of the greatest achievements any person can hold and that is what Brittney works with clients to attain.

Are you in need of someone to listen to? A place where you can speak out loud your pain without feeling judged, belittled or alone? Do you find yourself at times asking why me or what is wrong with me? Do you find yourself feeling confused, angry, sad, anxious, stuck. Do you get triggered and react in a manner in where you wished you didn't? Do you find yourself alone again with nobody to share your life with? Do you isolate yourself when things don't go right? Do you have past traumas and haven't yet learned how it affects you today? Can't sleep at night? Do you feel you are going out of your mind because your mind does not shut up
