Joy Riley, Licensed Professional Counselor

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. My ideal client is someone processing grief and trauma, experiencing marital issues, postpartum depression, or attachment issues. I help clients facing uncertainty figure out how to improve their relationship with their child, parent, or spouse and develop skills for creating healthy boundaries, not walls, that do not compromise who you are or your needs. I help my clients process loss, work through feelings of abandonment and attachment, address unhealthy coping patterns, and develop the capacity to thrive in life.

I tailor my approach to each client's needs. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I help you identify patterns and triggers, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that affect your life negatively. I specialize in individual and couples counseling, postpartum, and women's and men's issues, and work with individuals facing childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Figuring out why you can't feel anymore or why you feel everything is something that affects many people from many walks of life. Let's begin this journey together, creating a space of support, a space for confronting, or a space for letting go. Let's forge a relationship that instills hope, a sense of peace, or allows for a path of personal growth.
