Alexandra enjoys working with children (ages 10+), teens, adults, and families as they no longer allow anxiety, upbringing, trauma, and difficult life experiences define their day-to-day living. Her areas of focus include play therapy, family therapy, family conflict, separation and divorce, parenting, communication, trauma and PTSD, EMDR, neurodiversity and ADHD, anxiety and stress, self-esteem, self-compassion, and identity work.   Alexandra also has specific, advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), providing an evidenced-based framework to help individuals experience healing from traumatic events, and AutPlay, a specific modality of counseling for neurodivergent children and teens. Alexandra believes humans are designed to intimately connect with others in loving and secure relationships. When connection and safety become broken, behavioral and relational issues and emotional pain can occur. The counseling relationship can provide a safe support to help you or your family restore and rebuild peace and stronger relationships. Alexandra allows a space for children (and often their parents) to play, be active and creative, and feel confident and empowered to express themselves to find healing. She is highly effective in working directly with parents to set goals and better understand their child’s challenges and what they are going through. Alexandra earned a master’s degree in clinical mental counseling with a focus on addiction counseling from the University of North Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in applied statistics. She is board-certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and is licensed as an associate professional counselor under direction and supervision.  In addition to practicing at Atlanta Wellness Collective, Alexandra enjoys weightlifting and connecting with nature through hiking, cooking, and running. You can often find her outside with a cup of coffee and a book or catching the next plane on a new adventure. A note from Alexandra —   “My goal is to create a safe and empathetic environment where you, your child, or your family feel encouraged to heal, learn, and grow. Taking that first step toward healing can feel daunting and stressful. Counseling is a collaborative relationship that can help you transform and gain confidence. You are not alone. I’m excited to work alongside you to grow!”

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.

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!

Morgan is often described as a warm, welcoming “old soul." She believes that description is mostly true because of the challenges she has survived and overcome. Her life experiences have led her to become a counselor, and now that she is on the “lifeboat,” she wants to reach out and help others climb aboard.    Morgan works with children, adolescents, and young adults and utilizes a combination of person-centered, dialectical and cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, narrative, and family systems therapies. She is aware of the uniqueness each client and works to adapt her approach to each individual’s needs. Her approach to counseling is strength-based, and she respects individuals from all backgrounds.    Morgan sees clients for a variety of reasons, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship and behavioral issues, childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. She likes to use the analogy that her clients are in the driver’s seat, while she is in the passenger seat with directions. She can help her clients navigate through their struggles and teach them valuable coping skills, and it is her clients who ultimately hold the power to change. Whether you are treading water, on the lifeboat, or driving to your next destination, you don’t have to make the journey alone! Morgan would love to make that journey with you.

We all need support in dealing with life's challenges, but sometimes just asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems for which we are seeking support.

I work to create a space where clients feel supported and safe, while also incorporating some fun, so clients can to learn to use healthy coping strategies to manage the challenges of daily life.  I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC005623) and a former certified school counselor.
