One of my happy places is the beach. I am from the beautiful island of Jamaica and some of my most treasured memories and happiest times were spent at the beach. Living in Atlanta, I am not able to go to the beach as often as I would like, therefore, I bring the beach into my daily life through relaxation skills, music, décor, and my general mindset. As your therapist, my hope is that I can help you find your “happy place.” This may be a place, a person, a pet, an activity... anything that no...
Hi, I'm Gordon Shippey and I'm a therapist/counselor but you might also call me a social skills coach. I help guys who want to succeed socially but feel awkward or unlikable or like an outsider.

I wanted more friends but didn't know how to overcome my limitations. Later I wanted to date but felt hopeless. ...

For young adults, one of the key tasks at hand is to discover their potential, talents, weaknesses, fears, wants and needs, and to manage relationships at various levels of emotional intimacy. In this process, many of us need to clarify past issues and unresolved conflicts to move forward more freely. My practice is informal, relaxed and friendly, and most of my clients come from multicultural and...
