Steven Alper

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Decatur, GA


Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

Jammie Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Atlanta, GA


Life can feel incredibly heavy when anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, or major life changes begin affecting your ability to move forward. You may feel overwhelmed by emotions, exhausted from carrying burdens on your own, or unsure where to turn next. Sometimes the hardest part is feeling like no one truly understands what you've been through. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic disorders, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, stress, bipolar disorder, and anger management concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, discouraged, or disconnected from the peace and fulfillment they want for themselves. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving toward healing with greater confidence and hope.

I believe that therapy should feel supportive, practical and real. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life transitions and just want to feel like themselves again. This is a space where you can talk openly without judgment while also gaining tools that actually help in everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear about your next steps.
