PTSD/Trauma
Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Traumatic events often leave a lasting imprint on your life. Sometimes emotional healing from trauma can occur somewhat naturally, as life goes on. At other times, trauma leaves a more indelible impression on a person’s life by causing frequent bouts of emotional distress, impaired judgement, and even physiological symptoms. I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a form of psychotherapy developed for and scientifically proven to help people suffering from the effects of trauma and PTSD.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Traumatic experiences can occur at any point in the lifespan, and be acute, chronic, or complex. Humans are inherently deeply resilient, yet without treatment, the aftereffects of trauma can last for years, causing physical or emotional symptoms, impacting our sense of safety in the world, and influencing our relationships in unpredictable ways.

Kelly Baez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Like trying to digest a big meal, when things happen that are too much to emotionally/mentally "digest" they can lead to nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and more. When this happens, I recommend clients try EMDR. While evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), are helpful, it can take months or even years to recover. Not so with EMDR! Whether your trauma is decades in the making or it happened yesterday...isn't it time to start feeling better?

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Trauma isn't just what happened — it's what your nervous system learned as a result of what happened. Whether it was a single event or a lifetime of experiences that accumulated slowly, trauma gets stored in the body and shows up in ways that feel confusing, out of proportion, or hard to explain. I specialize in complex trauma and PTSD, using EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy to help your nervous system process what it's been holding — not by reliving it, but by creating the conditions for real, lasting healing that you can feel, not just understand.

Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health

Trauma is a pesky voice in your subconscious telling you to be afraid in the current life even though the fear is in the past. Recognizing that "now" is safe is imperative to healing and moving forward in a healthy way. I can help clients process and heal from their past which opens the door to a more joyful present and a future full of possibilities

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD, especially C-PTSD, includes any emotional experience that was upsetting and different than you had experienced up to that point in your life. C-PTSD often involves parental neglect, unavailability, or inconsistency. I am not one of the therapists who will tell you that you need to forgive and rebuild your relationsihp with anyone you choose not to have in your life. The idea that people should continue to endure mistreatment simply because someone is family is absurd. Of course, trauma and PTSD can include experiencing or witnessing any type of violence, abuse, accidents, or the threats of violence or abuse. Trauma has been my specialty since the beginning of my career and I have taken extensive training on the treatment of trauma. More importantly than if I am qualified to treat you for upsetting or traumatic past experiences is the fact that I will never minimize your experiences. Please do not avoid going to therapy because you think what you experienced was "not that bad." If it was upsetting to you when it happened and it still affects your life in any way I want to help you reduce or eliminate the impact of those experiences on your present day and future life.

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.
