Find a Therapist in Peachtree City, GA

Hello, my name is Dr. Crystal Toombs and I am a licensed professional counselor. My counseling approach seeks to empower, motivate, and encourage individuals in the fact that regardless of the barriers they face, they can be successful.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor focused on helping clients transform their lives by building on their existing strengths. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and substance use issues, using a strength-based approach to help my clients progress toward the life they envision.

I have been in the mental health field since getting my BS in Psychology at UNC Asheville in 1996. Since that time, my experience working with clients who have a large variety of mental health issues ranging from severe to mild has taught me the importance of listening and compassion in helping others achieve their goals. When I saw how important a good therapist is to this process I sought a Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling degree and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2017. I approach therapy with my clients from an Adlerian perspective. I believe that not only do past experiences shape personality and how one chooses to approach life's problems, but they also influence how one behaves, feels, and thinks in daily life. Together with my clients, we explore how past experiences and current circumstances contribute to their difficulties and strengths as well as devise strategies and change perspectives so that they can be healthier and more effective in their life. I do this by applying techniques mainly from Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, IFS, and Person-Centered approaches as well as others. I tailor my approach to each individual client and their needs in therapy. I often use metaphors and word pictures to help clarify concepts, teach skills, and change perspectives on difficulties. I will use humor and other creative interventions as needed to help clients ease into the process of therapy. Clients who benefit most from my approach are ready for change, recognize that what they have been doing has not been working, and are looking for help to not only understand themselves better but also to work together as a team to make the changes needed to improve and grow.I strive to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere filled with compassion and genuineness. Starting therapy is a hard decision, and my goal is to work with clients to build a trusting relationship where they are comfortable talking about what brought them to therapy in the first place. I have specialized training in dealing with trauma, specifically childhood trauma, as well as specific training in DBT and CBT techniques. I work collaboratively with clients to empower them to make meaningful changes to build relationships, find peace, and discover meaning. I will teach them new skills and help them explore abilities they already have to improve their lives and reduce symptoms. In the first session, I work with clients to identify the current problems they are having and explore the areas of concern that bring them into therapy. I strive to keep this session informative about the treatment process without unpacking all the details of the emotions so that clients can feel comfortable rather than exposed by the end of the first session. This sets to tone for trust and a slow exploration of problems that is most effective in building healthy mental health.

Counseling can be an effective way to alleviate distress, discover better ways to solve problems, learn new ways of relating to others, or change long-term behavior problems. However, counseling may also involve the risk of remembering unpleasant events and may arouse other emotions, which may affect how you relate to others. I recognize that personal change is often a difficult process. I strive to provide a supportive, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. The counseling relationship allows you to seek perspective through a mutual, accepting, empathetic, and authentic relationship. With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, my therapeutic orientation involves Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, specifically Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which is committed to promoting emotional well-being through short-term therapy with long-term results. I also utilize a variety of techniques in counseling, including Reality Therapy, which focuses on problem-solving, rebuilding connections, and goal-setting. I also utilize other methods such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT).

Hi there! My name is Eniola Akinsunmi and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a BA in Psychology from Tuskegee University and a MA in Counseling from Argosy University- Atlanta. My approach is always rooted in meeting where the client is; I create a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere so that the client can feel free to express hisherself. I utilize a person-centered approach to build a rapport with the client and I integrate theoretical approaches that best suit the client's issues. My population of interest is adults. Adulthood comes with a lot of transitions and changes that can be overwhelming, and I believe we humans need help once in a while to overcome hurdles in our lives. I have a passion to help individuals as they are going through life obstacles and I believe a good therapeutic relationship can help them achieve their goals for therapy. I always make sure I communicate effectively and utilize effective active listening skills because I want my client to feel heard. My calm and soft tone with added humor allows my client to feel at ease when they are in sessions with me. The first session is very light; it's the intake session. This is where I get to know you more and you get to know more about my approach.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate space where you can show up as your whole self, feel genuinely understood, and talk openly about what’s happening in your life without judgment. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, self-esteem, parenting, and major life transitions. I have particular expertise in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and reproductive mental health, including infertility and family building, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and the many emotions and transitions that can accompany the path to parenthood. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, identify what you’d like to change, and build on your existing strengths while developing tools that can help you move forward. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all way to do therapy. I offer individual therapy via telehealth and believe therapy can be a place for both support and meaningful growth—where you can better understand yourself, navigate difficult seasons, and create changes that feel authentic and sustainable.
