Therapists in Marietta, GA

Life is a journey. Sometimes, that journey leads us to the most wonderful mountain top experiences. On the other hand, the journey may lead us down into the valley of despair. As part of the human family, we can share these experiences, and through empathy, we can help one another get through the difficulties of life. At Better Living and Counseling Services, LLC, I am ready to assist you. You no longer have to work through the challenges of life by yourself. Let me work with you to establish a treatment plan that may just help you have a brighter tomorrow.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I also work with adults. While post-graduate training, and teaching, have increased my skills, what makes me a good therapist are the beliefs I hold dear. I believe in people and their ability to heal and thrive. I believe that the connection I have with my clients not only allows them to open up to me, but others as well. Most importantly, I believe that working with others is a tremendous responsibility and a sacred trust. It is an honor I never take lightly.

I work with a therapy dog in person (Hypoallergenic). Let me know of any concerns. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression making it hard to navigate your day-to-day tasks? Is your past trauma keeping you stuck from living a full life? Are you exploring your sexual or gender identity and concerned about how it will interact with relationships around you? I meet my clients where they are, without judgment, and we work together to create a space for hope and healing.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500), Certified Reiki Master and AAMFT Approved Supervisor my training and professional experiences are informed by systemic psychotherapy and contemporary mind-body practices.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have a passion for working with LGBTQ young adults who may have experienced trauma, have difficulty working out interpersonal situations, and have a sour taste in their mouth from religion. I am here to help bridge the gap from distress to healing.

I am a Somatic Experiencing™ trauma therapist in the Metro Atlanta area and have dedicated my work and research on the intersection of trauma and resiliency. I specialize in the treatment of Complex Trauma, Stress Disorders, Betrayal Trauma, PTSD, and other forms of trauma like divorce, life changes, cancer or developmental or intergenerational. When trauma or difficulties occur, it feels as if the ground under our feet has been blown away. I use a somatic body approach that helps you release the hold of your "fight/flight/freeze" response so you can begin to reframe your life story and regain a sense of grounding under your feet.

My specialty is couples counseling and sex therapy. I also address issues of spiritually and self-esteem. I work with couples around affair recovery, perpetual conflictual interactions, and help couples develop and maintain intimate emotional and sexual relationships.

I treat couples and individuals for orgasmic difficulties, disparate and low desire, body image issues, erectile difficulties, delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, and lack of emotional intimacy during sex.

Do you feel like something is wrong but you can't quite figure out what it is? Like everyone else seems to have it together but you don't know how they do it? Does your to-do list never seem to end, and suddenly there's no time left for the things that bring you joy, let alone self-care? Maybe you're constantly fighting a feeling that you're not enough. Or certain patterns from the past keep inexplicably repeating themselves in the present. Maybe your inner child is yelling for help but you're not sure how to help them. These things can leave you feeling even more overwhelmed, frazzled, stressed, burned out, or uncertain.
