Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Carrollton, GA

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist specializing in disordered eating, body image concerns, and anxiety. Over the years, I have worked in private practice, inpatient and outpatient hospitals, university counseling centers, and medical centers. These settings have allowed me to support people with diverse backgrounds while offering compassionate, evidence based care tailored to your unique goals.

Many people spend years carrying anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, or overwhelming emotions while continuing to show up for everyone else. On the outside it may seem like you're managing, but inside you feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to navigate that alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience, I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My work often focuses on helping individuals navigating anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction recovery, identity concerns, women's issues, and major life transitions. Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your struggles, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness.

Rooted in a collaborative and affirming approach, I specialize in working with athletes, students, and high achievers who are navigating challenges such as perfectionism, self-esteem, anxiety, and communication. My practice centers on supporting girls and women in building confidence, strengthening self-esteem, and redefining what success means on their own terms.

Is there a heavy feeling in your chest that you just can't seem to shake? Do you ever feel as if your coping skills are not working or you just don't have the desire to even try anymore? Are you losing sleep because your thoughts are racing? Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Family Issues, Maritial Infidelity, ADHD or Life Transitions? If it is difficult for you, then it's important to talk about. Therapy will help you to explore your understanding of why you feel the way you do.

I'm glad you're here. My name is Saúl.

I’m a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered psychiatric care. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported without judgment.

With a background in both psychiatric and family medicine, I take a whole-person approach—considering both your mental and physical health when developing your treatment plan. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again.
