Kristen Sessoms

Hi, I’m Kristen Sessoms

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you’ve done it before, I know that getting started with a new therapist is not easy. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe, open space for you to process, release, and learn. 

Any individual, couple, or family who needs assistance finding their voice can find comfort in the fact that I genuinely desire to see ALL of my clients break any and every chain that has kept them bound. 

Individual & Couples Counseling in Atlanta

I provide tangible interventions that teach emotional regulation, emotional awareness, and distress tolerance. I want my clients to take something constructive away from every session. I make that happen through using evidence-based therapeutic practices like CBT, DBT and mindfulness. This also applies to the couples I see, regardless of what stage you are in (dating, engaged, or married)! I utilize the Gottman Method of therapy when working with couples, and the Prepare/Enrich curriculum with premarital couples.

ADHD Counseling in Atlanta

As an adult who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, I provide extensive knowledge when working with clients seeking ADHD coaching. ADHD is a spectrum disorder, which means there are various severities and presentations. Through the use of psychoeducation, my clients with ADHD will develop specific interventions based on their specific needs. 

Parent Consultation, Motherhood Support and Family Therapy in Atlanta

I also utilize my experience in working with adolescents and children to provide a deeper perspective when consulting with parents. I provide parenting support groups and individual sessions for those who have children with ADHD. I can consult on how to navigate the school system to ensure your child is appropriately accommodated, as well as offer general support to parents who are struggling to connect with their children. 

As a mother myself, I resonate deeply with other mothers who are attempting to navigate life after having children. I provide a deep level of support and guidance to mothers who may be struggling with adapting to responsibilities that come with parenthood. I also support mothers who are experiencing postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety, and mom guilt. When you are the nurturer, it’s not uncommon to need and desire a space where you can be nurtured yourself. You will be seen, heard, and validated in my space! 

Although I identify as a Christian, I love to work with various cultures and beliefs, and welcome you to discuss your own faith and culture however you see fit in our sessions.  I obtained my Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Counseling from Colorado Christian University and am currently under the supervision of Dana Robinson, EdS, LPC, MAC, NCC, CPCS. 

Personally, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring different hidden gems throughout Atlanta. Outside of counseling, I am a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. I have a heart for people and would love to work with you! 

If you feel that we may be a good fit, reach out to me for a free phone consultation.
