Some people come to therapy carrying years of pain they have never had the words for. Others come in the middle of a crisis, trying to hold themselves or their family together. Wherever you are starting from, this is a place where you do not have to minimize what you are going through or rush toward being okay.
I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families facing some of the hardest things a person can face — trauma, intense emotions, self-harm, depression, and the kind of suffering that does not show up neatly on the outside. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in treatments that actually work. I will not shy away from the hard stuff, and I will not ask you to be further along than you are.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Reality Therapy / Choice Theory Focuses on present choices and taking responsibility for actions. It helps clients create more fulfilling relationships and lives.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My work is built on two evidence-based treatments: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories so they stop driving current behavior and emotional responses. DBT provides concrete, transferable skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and building a life that feels worth living.
I completed intensive DBT training through the Treatment Implementation Collaborative with Shari Manning in 2015 and received my EMDR training through the EMDR Institute in 2021. These two modalities work well together - one addresses the roots of suffering, the other builds the skills to move through it. I integrate both based on what each client needs and when.

Bloomwell Counseling Co. is a trauma-informed private practice in Roswell, Georgia founded by Allyse Teltser, LCSW in 2021. Bloomwell was created on the belief that therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely tailored to the person in the room. The practice serves preteens, teens, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and family conflict.
Bloomwell is a specialty practice built for people who need more than surface-level support - clients who have tried to manage on their own, families frightened for someone they love, and teens who have never had a space where they felt truly understood. The work is direct, evidence-based, and grounded in genuine human connection.
Bloomwell works with preteens and teens ages 9+ struggling with big emotions, self-harm, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, identity, peer relationships, and family changes including divorce and loss. Adolescence is hard under any circumstances. When a young person is also carrying trauma or intense emotional pain, skilled and compassionate support becomes urgent. Bloomwell creates a space where teenagers do not have to perform - where the hard stuff can come out slowly, safely, and at their own pace.
Adults come to Bloomwell navigating the lasting effects of past trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the gap between the life they are living and the one they hoped to build. Many adult clients have been carrying something for a long time. They are not looking to be overhauled. They are looking for a therapist who can hold the weight of what they have been through without flinching, and who will not ask them to be further along than they are.
Family therapy at Bloomwell helps parents and families improve communication, repair relationships, and navigate the stress of having a child or teen in crisis. Some families come to better understand a loved one's mental health diagnosis. Others come seeking accountability around their parenting values and goals. All are welcome.
One of Bloomwell's most distinct specialties is supporting teens and families through the transition home after residential treatment or partial hospitalization. Discharge day can feel like a cliff — the structure of the program ends, and families are often left trying to hold everything together without a clear roadmap. Bloomwell approaches this transition with a specific, coordinated plan: reviewing treatment history and current safety plans, reinforcing skills in individual therapy, preparing parents and caregivers in family sessions, identifying warning signs early, and addressing school reentry, peer relationships, and daily structure. Families navigating this transition do not have to figure it out alone.
Bloomwell specializes in two of the most rigorously researched treatments in mental health: Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. DBT is a structured, skills-based treatment developed for people who experience emotions intensely and struggle with self-harm, suicidal ideation, impulsivity, and relationship instability. Allyse Teltser completed intensive DBT training through the Treatment Implementation Collaborative with Shari Manning in 2015. EMDR helps the brain process traumatic memories so they lose their emotional grip, without requiring clients to recount their trauma in detail. Allyse received her EMDR training through the EMDR Institute in 2021. These two modalities work well together — DBT builds the stability that allows trauma processing to happen safely, while EMDR addresses the root experiences driving emotional dysregulation, depression, and anxiety.
