Couples therapists in Conyers, GA

I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized mental health care. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and collaborative, where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence at your own pace.

My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric and co-occurring conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, substance use disorders, and personality-related challenges. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach to treatment, integrating psychopharmacology with psychotherapy-informed care, lifestyle optimization, mindfulness, and holistic strategies to support both symptom relief and long-term resilience.

I help by meeting you where you are. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what truly matters to you. Together, we create a treatment plan that feels realistic, respectful, and aligned with your life. You are never reduced to a diagnosis in my care — you are seen as a whole person with strengths, experiences, and potential.

I help my clients heal their relationships starting with the one with themselves. I help clients either heal from a past traumatic relationship, improve a current one or prepare themselves for a new one. My clients often want to learn how to resolve conflicts, advocate for their needs and set boundaries. Sometimes my clients identify as people pleasers and want to learn how to listen to their own needs. I help guide my clients on their healing from the inside out.

I’m Joanne Slatinsky, a mental health counselor in the State of Georgia and licensed as a Professional Counselor since 1987. I have had the privilege of counseling hundreds of people through my long career in mental health. I believe I have a calling for helping people during difficult times. I approach life and my work with my clients with compassion and understanding. I work with adult individuals and couples with a variety of issues and conflicts. I have experience in working with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues, but a few examples are anxiety, stress, depression, dealing with feelings, relationship issues, trauma including childhood trauma, narcicissism and narcissistic relationships and other difficult relationships, grief and dealing with change. I am married for 43 years and we have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. I have a lot of life experience, probably have been through some struggles that are similar to yours and I bring a lot of education, training and experience, to assist you in any way I can. I look forward to meeting you.
