Anxiety therapy in Atlanta, GA
Your life feels chaotic! You feel crazy and overwhelmed by worry. Everything brings on anxiety. A simple trip to the store leaves you trembling inside with fear. Spending time with family and friends has become more and more difficult because they don’t get it, so you can’t talk to them about how you feel.
You only go out for school or work, and only because you have to. You've stopped doing the things you once enjoyed just to avoid the anxiety that goes with it. You struggle to get things done because the anxiety takes all of your energy and still leaves you exhausted. Then you feel guilty for the things you didn’t accomplish. You wanted more from your life—so much more! You long for a life free of worry and anxiety!

Hi! I’m Kristy, Anxiety therapist in Georgia, and I Can Help!
For over 15 years, I’ve been helping clients calm the constant and everyday challenge of relenting anxiety. I help them release the pressure valve on the anxiety that has become their constant shadow. I help them release feelings of guilt, being judged by others, and making mistakes. My clients are allowed to say what they need to say without being judged, criticized, or dismissed. I teach people how to have greater self-compassion increasing confidence. I help people learn how to talk to family and friends to get different results, leading to greater assertiveness, and serenity. Fears of the unknown and unpredictable are replaced with peace, inner strength, and wisdom.
I use a combination of therapy techniques to help you have an emotionally corrective experience with events that may be contributing to your anxiety. I have knowledge and training in body-based therapies to help your body learn to be less overwhelmed and anxious. Through weekly support, my clients are able to start seeing changes, typically within 6 weeks after starting therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT for short is the best therapy for anxiety. CBT helps you identify patterns in your thoughts that are faulty and leading to anxiety. It also teaches specific skills for decreasing the intensity of your symptoms so you can return to normal activities.

I started out working with trauma survivors and quickly discovered most of them has Post Trauma Stress Disorder which is a type of anxiety disorder. Sometimes people notice they have anxiety before they realize it's tied to an event, they had no control over that was actually traumatic. It's often during the course of therapy they person would discover what event created the anxiety.

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.
How long does treatment last?
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.

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.
