Reconnection Starts Here.
INdividual (16+) and couples therapist in Atlanta, GA.
Hi, I’m Colleen, MA, NCC, APC
It is lonely when you feel disconnected from yourself, your close friends/family, or your partner. I can help with that.
I specialize in helping couples reconnect and improve their intimacy by teaching them how to understand and communicate their emotions.
I focus my supervision and training on helping adolescents (16+) and adults struggling with anxiety to break free from constant worry.
I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we are a good match.
I’ve Been There.
Most bios you have read so far will most likely touch on something like, "This is a safe space. This will be a healing journey. You will learn coping skills," etc. All of that is so important and something I offer, too, but what I want you to know is that I’ve been there.
My struggle with anxiety catapulted me into my journey of becoming a therapist.
In a world full of uncertainty (an anxious individuals nightmare of a statement!!) what I do know for certain is that you deserve a nonjudgmental witness to join you on your path to healing, and it would be an honor to be that person.
I draw upon various models such as CBT, EFT, and Rogerian to ensure I meet my clients where they are.
I aim to bring my humanness into every session, and as a firm believer in the healing power of laughter, I often incorporate humor as a tool for connection and healing.
