Who we are and what we offer to couples, individuals & corporations: 

Atlanta Couple Therapy’s role has been to provide a supportive and safe environment in order to empower our clients. This allows them to make decisions, break past patterns and move closer to their intended goals. We use schema and cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on recognizing and challenging unproductive and self-defeating thoughts and processes.
Our therapists take an active directive approach and work together with our clients to create treatment plans that will positively impact our clients’ daily lives.
Often times, when couples come to our office, they are either at a standstill or in intense conflict. We often used specialized techniques called ‘Gottman’ for treatments. We have a long track of records using research, experiences, lengthy clinical training to help couples improve their communication, intimacy, conflict resolution skills, and rebuild trust after infidelity.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The truth is, therapy really works. Research shows that it can be just as effective, if not more, than medication for treating anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Therapy helps you develop skills and healthy ways to cope, giving you tools that you can use whenever life gets tough.

    Therapy is so much more than just talking on a couch. Unfortunately, there are still many misconceptions about seeking help from a mental health professional. Too often, needing to talk about your feelings is unfairly viewed as a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of, which keeps many people from reaching out. But here’s the truth: Therapy is an incredibly powerful tool that can help with everything from anxiety and stress to improving sleep, relationships, and healing past trauma. Studies consistently show it’s effective for managing mental health and can be beneficial even if you’re not facing a specific diagnosis.

    Still on the fence? Here are some reasons to consider therapy:

    • You’re dealing with sudden mood changes.
    • You’re going through a major life transition.
    • You’re having thoughts that worry you.
    • You’ve lost interest in things you once loved.
    • You’re feeling lonely or disconnected.
    • You’re using substances to cope with stress.
    • You suspect you might have a mental health concern.
    • You feel like things are spiraling out of control.
    • Your relationships are becoming tense.
    • You’re struggling with sleep.
    • You simply feel like you need someone to talk to.

    Therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s a proactive step toward a healthier, happier life.

    Therapy is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. It’s not about getting advice but about exploring your emotions, gaining clarity, and learning healthy ways to cope. It can be challenging at times, but it’s ultimately a space for self-discovery, growth, and finding relief from what’s weighing you down.

    A national research study found that 50 percent of psychotherapy clients had made improvement within eight sessions of therapy, and 75 percent showed improvement after six months of therapy. Of course, showing improvement is not the same as successfully completing treatment. Most psychologists will tell you that the length of treatment depends upon the nature of the problem, the severity of the problem, and the treatment goals selected.

    A vague response like this can be frustrating, but rest assured that most individuals complete psychological treatment within three to six months. When psychologists say that the nature of the problem affects the length of treatment, what they mean is the kind of problem being treated.

    We do not accept insurance directly. However, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Many clients receive up to 60% coverage, depending on their plan. Please check with your insurance provider for details on your specific benefits.

    Everything you share in therapy is completely confidential. We follow strict ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. The only exceptions are if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law (such as cases of child or elder abuse). Beyond these rare situations, what we discuss remains between us.

    Couples counseling can be incredibly effective for strengthening relationships, helping partners understand each other better, and creating positive, love-affirming habits. It’s often recommended for a range of challenges, from financial stress to infidelity. However, if your spouse is hesitant to attend, it’s important not to force them, as that can sometimes cause more harm than good.

    Instead, try to have an open, empathetic conversation about their concerns. But even if your partner isn’t ready, individual therapy can still be highly beneficial. Working on your own growth and gaining new insights can positively impact your relationship and create a foundation for healthier communication and connection.

    It’s common to worry that a therapist might side with your partner, or that therapy will become another space where you’re blamed or criticized. However, at Atlanta Couple Therapy, we prioritize creating a safe, impartial environment where both partners can freely express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. A good therapist remains neutral, focusing on understanding each person’s perspective without judgment. Our goal is to help you both communicate more effectively and work together towards a healthier relationship.
