Alpharetta Therapist Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Care That Meets You Where You Are
Kristy Brewer, In Person and Online Therapist for Adults in Georgia
Alpharetta Therapist
Your life is chaotic. You feel overwhelmed and frustrated with life, floundering even. Your body feels tense most of the time. You wake up in the morning, still tired and dreading what lies in front of you. You wrestle with a flood of emotions, but you don’t know what brings them on.
You’re struggling in your relationships. The concept of having a voice or standing up for yourself seems foreign to you. So you stay silent, unsure of how or when to speak up for yourself, afraid of the repercussions. You feel lonely, unheard, lost, angry, and resentful, and it’s starting to impact your happiness and the roles you have to play.
You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside, life feels exhausting. Your confidence is shot, and you wish you could fade into the background. Maybe your mind never fully shuts off. Maybe your relationships feel harder than they should. Or maybe you’re carrying a quiet heaviness you can’t quite name, only that it’s been there for a long time.
Maybe you have been to therapy before, but it wasn’t helpful so your nervous to try again. You’re tired of trying to “white-knuckle” it through your challenges while still feeling like you can barely breathe. You want real change, not quick fixes or surface-level coping tips. You want relief from what you have carried for so long; relief that actually lasts. And you want to feel heard and understood, not judged or blamed for what’s happening,
Hi, I’m Kristy Brewer. I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults and caregivers in Alpharetta and throughout Georgia. My work is grounded in the belief that your struggles make sense when we understand what your nervous system, relationships, and life experiences have been asking you to survive.
You’re not broken. And you’re not “too much.” You’re human, and your system may be tired of carrying so much on its own.
Hi, I’m Kristy! Alpharetta Therapist and I can help!
I help individuals whose lives feel heavy and chaotic due to past and present relationship patterns that aren’t working learn how to be assertive, let go of old baggage, and gain greater control of their emotions. My clients experience change over time in therapy, not just in their relationships, but also in how they feel about themselves and the way they view other people. They gain greater strength as they learn how to be vulnerable in a safe way, let go of guilt and shame, and learn to have a voice. Their anxiety and depression begin to lift as they gain greater strength and confidence in themselves and the roles they play. There won’t be judgment or blame, but there will be space for you to feel heard and understood while you say what you need to say without holding back.
For over 15 years, I have been helping people find relief from old trauma, develop healthier relationship patterns, and feel less anxious and depressed. My clients typically come to see me weekly so they have consistent support and can move out of feeling like life has become too much. I will often integrate body therapies that will help to release intense emotions stuck in the body to help you feel less overwhelmed by how you feel. Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary and hard. It can feel like the release of a pressure valve that has needed to be turned for a long time.

I want to help you create the changes you are after as quickly as possible. You will be in therapy for longer if you are not attending weekly therapy sessions! You will see improvements in your life faster and be able to maintain change longer!
From tracking outcomes, I know that clients who attend weekly sessions are getting better faster. Research has also found that weekly therapy sessions bring improvement faster. Doing healing work at the level that will sustain long-term change takes time. It’s a commitment. Clients who invest time get better faster and experience less relapse into old patterns. Faster results with less relapse mean you will spend less time and money on therapy overall.
-
There are a lot of factors that contribute to the length of therapy, so it is difficult to predict until we begin working together. If we decide we’re a good fit following that initial meeting, we’ll check in on progress every single week.
Typically, clients I work with start seeing changes after 6 weeks of weekly sessions. At the end of 12 weeks, we’ll evaluate if we’re reaching our goals. Often, the challenges that initiated their search for a therapist have been resolved after 12 weeks, if not sooner. All have been pleased with their progress and decided to continue making changes in their lives with new goals.
The decision to end our work together will be a collaborative decision based on what you feel needs to change in your life and the changes I see happening for you.

I have partnered with Mentaya to help you save money on therapy. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will handle everything with insurance to make sure you get your money back. They only charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can read more about how Mentaya works to help you reduce the cost of therapy here.
-
No! As long as you are physically located in Georgia at the time of the session and in a place where you can have privacy, you are welcome to change it up if you like.
-
This has rarely happened, but if we do not see some improvement after a month of working together, we will change our approach to ensure we’re really targeting the things we need to target. If we’re still not seeing any improvement, we want to look at potentially referring you to another therapist who would be a better fit for you, a parenting coach, or an outside resource.
