Depression
Matthew Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CRC, NCC
We all cope with pain. When coping becomes destructive, we need to break the cycle of depression that feeds upon itself. I can help you address the cycle by understanding it, offering alternatives, and interrupting the painful patterns.

Depression
Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I have a lot of experience working with clients who struggle with depression. Actually, going through my own severe depression as a young adult and working through it in therapy is one of the main reasons I ended up in this field. The approaches I teach for depression have helped countless clients over the years, and I know they work because they helped pull me out of my own dark period.

Depression
Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Depression is a disorder that thrives off isolation. Its grasp tightens as the person affected withdraws from the people and activities that would normally bring them joy. When treating clients suffering with depression, I employ an integrative therapeutic approach to fit the needs of the individual as depression does not look the same for every person.

Depression
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Depression is not a personal failure, and it is not just sadness. It can feel like a heavy fog that drains color from everything — the exhaustion that doesn't lift with rest, the disconnection from things that once mattered, the inner critic that never quiets. I understand depression as often being a nervous system response to prolonged stress or unresolved experience, not just a mood problem. Using EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy, we work to understand what your system is communicating and respond with care — not pressure to "just feel better."

Depression
Mary Elizabeth Burns, MS, NCC, LPC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC
f depression makes it hard to get out of bed, focus, or feel any joy—or even if it’s a quieter, persistent low—I understand how exhausting it can be. I work with teens and adults to create a supportive space where you can start to lift that heaviness, reconnect with your energy, and take small, manageable steps toward feeling steadier, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

Depression
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I view depression from a systemic perspective, looking at the client's entire life to establish what may be causing or exacerbating the client's depression symptoms. Then the client and I collaborate on goals to improve the client's mood and overall wellness. Treating depression I will always be using integrative therapy techniques because no one therapy is right for every aspect of a person's depression.

Depression
Stephanie Featherston
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Div, MS, EdS,LPC
Depression is exhausting. It is isolating, scary, and overwhelming. It's not something we choose or ask for; nor is it a definition of who we are. I think, however, that it serves a purpose. Much like my mother not letting me see friends or have them over if my room wasn't clean, depression doesn't let us focus on anything else until we have focused on the underlying cause sufficiently. I am not afraid of your depression, and I am willing to be curious about it and to help you learn what it needs you to know. Patience, compassion, and courage are all part of the journey, and I would like to be able to walk it with you.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
The first breath you take in the morning is often not one of relief but a sigh of frustration. You force yourself to get out of bed while pondering the same question, “ when will things change". Work with me so we can find that answer you have been searching for.

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
