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
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
Kelly Baez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
EMDR has been shown to be an effective intervention for depression. By addressing past traumas and/or negative experiences, EMDR helps you process your emotions and reframe negative beliefs so you can create a more positive outlook that lasts. While we will absolutely talk about strategies to support well being, EMDR may be a valuable tool in your journey towards healing and recovery.

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
Dr. Ellen Brackup

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.
