Radiant Life Counseling

Marietta, GA

You have gone round and round about the same topics but yet feel completely disconnected from your partner. Finding your way back seems out of reach. Reading books, listening to sermons, or even praying hasn’t worked. It feels like you are doing marriage wrong. You think  I am a Christian, so shouldn’t marriage be less challenging? You care about your partner and do everything you can to fight for your relationship. Yet the cycle you get stuck in is exhausting.  By recognizing patterns in your relationship, we can figure out what is happening and help you learn to communicate more effectively. The goal is that you will each be understood, better understand your partner, and learn to notice where you are stuck. Reconnecting in moments of disconnection can help you find a deeper level of love and begin to trust again. God designed marriage to be a beautiful representation of love and commitment, and experiencing that is possible. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, fully certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), counseling couples is my passion. Divorce breaks my heart, which fuels my drive to help couples find each other again. Though the name EFCT sounds scary, it is a proven method to help couples get unstuck from the cycle they get caught in. While there are no guarantees, I am passionate about giving you compassionate and excellent care to help you where you need it the most. Marriage is one of the most important relationships next to a relationship with God. Connection is possible!

Sean Reilly

Alpharetta EMDR

Alpharetta, GA

Since 2009, Sean has been sharing hope, humor, and authenticity with his clients. He specializes in serving teenagers and adults to help deal with depression, anxiety, anger, and addiction issues. Additionally, he has extensive experience in counseling with Veterans and first responders with unique trauma experiences. Sean is highly effective in helping people heal hurts they have carried and often have kept secret or hidden from others. Sean’s passion is seeing people develop new chapters in life-to the point that those closest to them take notice-as they broaden their understanding of themselves and others. Sean treats those who are struggling with: depression, social and performance anxiety, anger, relationship issues, trauma, post-traumatic stress, addiction recovery, substance abuse, grief and loss. Sean’s inclusive counseling approach draws from a variety of psychological, behavioral, and spiritual approaches to address the unique needs of each client. He is client-centered and develops a series of interventions that balance challenging thought processes without feeling shame. Beyond doing talk therapy, Sean has advanced training in EMDR, which specializes in treating issues related to trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and loss, often more quickly than traditional talk-therapies. EMDR allows for healing from “triggers” that lead to trauma symptoms and emotional distress, by resetting them to bring about neurological and emotional healing. People experiencing intense emotions, losing energy or “oomph,” or feeling overwhelmed and pulled a million different ways, find that EMDR provides lasting changes to handle the stressors of everyday life without the same difficulty as before. ADDITIONALLY Prior to private practice, Sean worked as a clinical director for Veteran’s Affairs in the PTSD clinic. Sean has also worked as a clinician and director for individuals working toward addiction recovery in South Florida, as well as in community mental health working with teenagers, young adults, and their families. ​Sean and his wife, Stevie, have been married since 2014 and enjoy traveling (especially anywhere with a beach), searching for the best local food and coffee spots, going for excessive amounts of walks as well as learning to cook new meals together.
