I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

Therapist

My goal is to explore the root of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to create lasting healing. I love this work, and everyone I work with holds a special place in my heart. I have studied multiple treatments in order to help with parenting, trauma, self-perception, and many challenges with mood, thoughts, and behavior that are not making you feel proud of yourself or your life. PCIT helps children ages 2-6; ABFT is helpful for adolescents experiencing many issues, including suicidal ideation and self-harm. IFS is extremely helpful for a wide range of challenges, including trauma. I also incorporate AEDP and coherence therapy to round out my approach to the healing work.

Caitlin Shirley

Therapist

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.

Dr. Alyssa Rosen

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Atlanta, GA


Hi! Thanks so much for visiting. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I treat individuals age 10 and up in an adult setting. I went to Duke University for pre-med (BS psychology) and then Emory University School of Medicine. I did my internal medicine residency at Emory also, was on staff at Emory, and was also in private practice before I went back to my psychiatry residency (State University at Stony Brook, Chief Resident, 2012).

I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I enjoy helping those who have had treatment-resistant conditions, and have a friendly, kind, and collaborative approach.

I treat anyone and EVERYONE who is motivated to get better. I manage the entire spectrum of conditions, and manage tough-to-fix things like OCD and bipolar depression. Because of my personal and family background, I deeply understand the rainbow/gender-divergent and neuro-divergent folks, and folks with anxiety and ADHD. :). We can absolutely discuss gender-affirming care in California, and in Georgia and Florida, within the scope of local laws. I am a strong believer that trans care saves lives,

Please note:

-Self-pay rates are $460 for intakes and $230 for follow up appointments (half-hour).

-Starting 10/01/26, I am based primarily in the LA area (Weho and Westwood areas), but there are appointments that should be good for folks on both coasts.

-If you can't find a good time, message me and let me know.

-I will be in Atlanta and the SF Bay Area to see patients live once every 4-6 weeks or so. On-line is primary.

I have two locations in the Bay Area for live visits, and will have two in LA as above, and continue to see people in Buckhead, Atlanta.

-If a Florida client needs a controlled substance, one visit to the Atlanta or Cali offices will be necessary.
