Judy McKinley, LPC

Hello and welcome.  I look forward to working with you in a therapeutic relationship that provides you a safe and supportive opportunity for exploration, healing, growth and change.  Through this relationship you will learn to improve the way you experience, trust and care for yourself.  These improvements will allow you to live more fully in relationship with yourself and others.

Together, you and I will collaborate to fully understand the issues that concern you, and to explore their significance in your life.  We will use elements of existential, rational-emotive, cognitive-behavioral and other therapies plus techniques such as EMDR, hypnosis, outside homework, journaling and readings to reach your therapeutic goals.   My professional training and varied clinical experience, as well as my own life experiences, help me understand and advise you on your issues at many stages of life.  By listening, questioning, reflecting, probing, challenging and guiding, I will help you set attainable goals for yourself and work toward them.

I offer short-term and long-term individual and couples counseling, psychotherapy services and change coaching.  Counseling is short-term and designed to address specific issues with goal-oriented solutions.  Psychotherapy addresses deep-seated emotional wounds, is more in-depth and usually requires longer-term services.  Choice coaching supports and guides individuals who are considering or already making significant life changes

I see clients in my office in a nicely appointed professional building in Atlanta/Sandy Springs.  My office is a peaceful and restful private room with comfortable seating, soothing colors, soft light, and a view of trees.
