Areas of treatment
We work with clients age 10 to adulthood to create achievable goals while working through any emotional blocks. We focus on strengths, give coping strategies, and provide a safe nonjudgmental space to explore yourself and possible solutions. We try to blend compassion with “straightforwardness” to get you to where you want to be.
Sometimes you just need someone to listen to you, sometimes you need more direction than that, at Atlanta Counseling Collective, we’re happy to do both.

- Anxiety
- Depression
- Obsessive Disorders
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

- Life Transitions
- Emotion regulation and sensitive persons
- Behavioral issues
- Peer issues and Communication Skills

Adolescents
Counseling can be a safe environment for children and adolescents to learn effective skills as they age before patterns are established in adulthood. Through development and more demanding experiences, some children and teens experience emotions with more intensity and/or reactivity than others. They learn from their previous experiences and behaviors and find ways to manage their emotions that may not be helpful long term.
There is a family component to counseling for children and teens. I will discuss periodic family sessions to encourage support for your child. My goal is to provide your child with a safe environment to express his or her thoughts with their family when needed.
Adults
I believe every person has their own unique set of strengths, skills, and resources within them. A strength-based model gives us the opportunity to focus on what you can do instead of what you can’t. Together we will learn your existing strengths and explore how they can be maximized to your benefit to create the change that you are looking for.
Therapy helps you to explore and improve your emotional, behavioral, mental and relationship functioning. You will be able to see changes in your everyday life and will also be able to gain clarity to situations which may have been holding you back. My goal as your clinician is to help you move from a place that is holding you back to a place where you can achieve your goals and focus on your successes. We repeat in our lives what we don’t repair and you will be guided on ways to take control of your situation.
family and parent sessions
Every family experiences seasons where a little extra support may be needed. During big or small life changes, growing children, blending families, or managing the impact of individual struggles – family therapy can help. Each member of your family has a unique temperament, experiencing different challenges and strengths.
I also offer parent coaching sessions as a standalone support or supplement to family therapy. Children don’t come with instruction manuals. Each new developmental phase requires you to be a different type of parent; couples may disagree about the best methods to use to parent their child. I can help guide families to find strategies and methods that will help address behavior concerns, improve family communication, and set children up for success.
Video and phone sessions
Online counseling either through phone or video allows you to have therapy without the everyday hassle of trying to fit it in. After an in-person assessment, phone and video sessions may be a good option to reduce the logistical challenges of therapy.
