- Clinical Psychologist
- I am a licensed psychologist with extensive training and experience in the treatment of anxiety disorders, specifically OCD and related disorders.
I apply complementary therapy approaches and techniques to modify longstanding patterns of behavior and thought that may be causing you emotional distress and holding you back from enjoying a richer and more fulfilling life.
I can help you identify and overcome emotional blocks and challenging obstacles that may be getting in the way of your hopes and dreams.
I use an individualized approach to therapy that is tailored to each person's unique life circumstances and personality traits.
I can teach you effective coping strategies and explore with you the psychological, biological and environmental origins of the issues that are prompting you to seek help.Flavio Marenco, Ph.D.
- Counseling and Psychotherapy in Atlanta
- Why do many gay, lesbian or bi people work with an LGBT counseling professional when it is time to get help? Regrettably, not all therapists work comfortably with gay clients. And they may not be familiar with the details of life for gay people. As a result, it may be easier to talk to an LGBT counselor.
Much the same as other people, LGBT people experience anxiety, depression or relationship problems. And LGBT people can confront special life stressors. Family, dating, and relationships. Sexuality. Drug and alcohol use. And work/life balance. Any of these can be particular challenges for gay people. As a result, LGBT people more often stressed with issues of anxiety, loneliness or social isolation.
Most of all, LGBT clients know I understand and support them.
I work with all kinds of people. Gay, lesbian or bi people make up more than half of my clients. I counsel both individuals and couples. And I do premarital counseling.John R. Ballew, M.S., L.P.C.LGBT Counseling
- Mending Minds. Healing Hearts. Reigniting Relationships.
- I have been a psychologist for over 20 years with an expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’m passionate about not only helping my clients recover from what ails them but also to help them improve their lives and achieve their dreams and goals.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Utilizing state-of-the-art Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — the therapy of choice for most individual issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress — I am able to help you get where you want to be. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that can help you achieve your goals and improve your well-being by addressing your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and environment.
You don’t have to do all of the talking either. The therapy is interactive and I will not only ask probing questions, but also teach helpful skills, monitor your progress, and even give work to do outside of session. We take this journey of change together.
COUPLES & RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Utilizing the tenets from The Gottman Method, I seek to repair and strengthen your relationship utilizing a thorough assessment of the couple relationship and research-based interventions. The goals are to disarm verbal conflict; remove barriers to empathy and understanding; and increase intimacy, respect, and affection. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. Interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes that enhance the couple's shared goals.
