Therapists near me in Sandy Springs, GA

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I'm experienced working with individuals, groups, couples and families. When working with an individual, couple or family I assess and addresses the entire family history, the sum of its parts, and not simply the individuals that comprise it. The distress or problem that originated may not solely be within an individual but a natural reaction to a family dynamic that creates the distress. By using Family Systems Theory I'm able to help the Client have a deeper awareness of their personal conflicts, how to resolve them, and live a more fulfilling life without addictions. I have a Bachelor’s from the University of Arizona and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. Im experienced working with Adolescents, LGBTQ+ Community, HIV/AIDS, Domestic Violence, Sex and Love Addiction, and 12 Step Recovery.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) with over 16 years of experience helping clients reprogram the patterns running their lives — patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that often operate automatically without conscious choice.

I create a compassionate and collaborative environment, empowering individuals to find healing, resilience, and fulfillment in their lives. I am also the author of You're Not Stuck — You're Automated: Why You're Not Lazy, Undisciplined or Unmotivated — And How to Finally Create Lasting Change, available on Amazon and at boundlessbelieving.com.

My journey to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor was shaped by a deep desire to support others through life’s challenges—especially during times when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. Like many people, I’ve experienced how difficult it can be to navigate personal struggles without the right support system, and I’ve always been drawn to helping others find clarity, purpose, and hope during those moments. Over time, I realized that being a counselor would allow me to not only listen and empathize, but to walk alongside people as they identify their goals and uncover their inner strengths. What drives me every day is the opportunity to be part of someone’s growth—to offer a space where they feel truly heard and supported, and to help them discover that change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. I am also licensed in South Carolina. I have a doctorate degree in counseling psychology and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help individuals identify their truth so they can live their most authentic life. I work with adults who are ready to take control of their thoughts and emotions to begin to authentically, consciously, and intentionally live their BEST LIFE!

Hello, I am Semika Roach, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over nine years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I specialize in the areas of trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and personal growth. My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about the human mind and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work in various clinical settings. These experiences showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I’m here to support you in making it meaningful. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma, using a client-centered and collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs. In our work together, you'll find a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself and move toward growth at your own pace. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. I’ll offer honest feedback, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you at your pace, always with the goal of helping you feel empowered and understood.
