If you’re reading this right now, you might be in a hard place. You want peace in your life, your home, and your relationships. You need the right tools and a safe space to help this happen. For women facing life transitions, loss, anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, or a difficult relationship, it can be hard to break free from patterns or relationships no longer working for you. For parents with struggling children, it can be challenging managing your child’s melting or shutting down, fielding complaints about your child, and simply wanting to help your child when nothing seems to work—all while managing your own emotions. Dawn Lamprecht, LCSW, RPT™, works with all these issues, specializing in working with women and children.  Dawn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist™. She meets clients where they are, helping them feel supported and heard as they work to get untangled from life's difficulties and meet their goals. Dawn has 20 years of training and experience in working with children, parents, families, and adult women. Along with being trained in talk therapy, Dawn is trained in using creative techniques, such as Sand Tray Therapy, and for children under the age of 12, Play Therapy. Dawn is a Christian and can incorporate a Christian worldview into sessions at the preference and comfort level of the client. She earned a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and, in 2003, a master’s degree in social work from the University of Nebraska-Omaha. She is married and has a grown daughter, and Dawn has lived in Georgia and East Cobb since 2006. Dawn grew up a military brat, and she still loves to travel. In her free time she enjoys exercising, antique shopping, and spending time with family, which includes her rescue dogs.

Kristi has been passionate about helping others as long as she can remember. Her career began as a hospice social worker, which was incredibly rewarding and radically changed her perspective on life. Later, Kristi pivoted to private practice after her own life-changing experiences in therapy. She is trained in several modalities, including Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, and Brainspotting. Kristi was selected as one of only 16 therapists to be in the first training cohort of the Relationship Theory Model (RTM) with Jourdan Blue. RTM is revolutionizing the way individuals and couples approach relationship-focused therapy and relationship coaching.    Kristi's approach to counseling is direct, results-focused, and collaborative. She has high expectations for her clients, giving them the compassion and accountability they need for success, growth, and change. Kristi emphasizes that the process requires work and correspondence outside of sessions, and she guides her clients to "immerse and rehearse" what they are learning, ultimately retraining their brain for secure, healthy connections.   Kristi understands if you are skeptical about counseling or have tried it and were unsuccessful. However, she encourages you to reach out to her so she can explain how her approach is different and how she can help you thrive!
