Hello & welcome! My passion lies with assisting individuals who have challenges with anxiety, depression, mood instability, medical trauma, life-transitions, under-controlled and over-controlled traits, women’s health, belongingness, and self-esteem. Through my work-related experiences at 3 residential programs, a non-profit, and private practice, it has truly been a privilege aiding diverse populations. They never fail to show me that no one is too broken, hopeless, or unworthy of having a life that is worth living. As a licensed psychotherapist specialized in adherent DBT, I am intensively trained in all DBT modules, and can provide phone coaching and skills application into therapy, upon availability. I am also trained in RO-DBT, CBT, strength-based therapy, and reality therapy, and utilize these modalities within my daily practice. No matter what prompts you to seek out therapy, you can expect to be welcomed with kindness, authenticity, empathy, and validation. Your resiliency and openness to be vulnerable is solely admirable. So please don't hesitate to reach out, as it would be my absolute honor to help you begin or continue flourishing in this life together.

Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseling. Counseling helps us better understand our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to reconsider our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more mutually gratifying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process or work through traumatic or hurtful experiences and gain insight into unhealthy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships. I counsel individuals (depression, transition, grief and loss, anxiety, substance abuse), couples (relationship, premarital and marital counseling), and groups (life development). My organizational development training allows me to offer consultative services to organizations navigating anticipated and unanticipated transitions and crises. I work well with clients of all cultures and backgrounds. Because of my experience and training, I am particularly effective counseling clients who attempt to embody/express their spiritual, faith, or theological beliefs in their lives and relationships or who attempt to honor certain social ethics, principles, and values in their lives and relationships.
Experience tells me that most people who seek counseling feel unable to make changes in their life that could bring them greater happiness. I consider it my responsibility and a privilege to facilitate your journey of self-empowerment to make these desired changes. Together we will explore how current patterns of feeling, thinking and acting could be altered by increasing mindfulness and self-compassion. While most of our focus is on the present and future, I also seek to honor your past by exploring how unresolved feelings may be hindering your growth and ability to meet personal goals. Many people who come to me are experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and decreased self-esteem. It is my belief that these symptoms result from experiencing psychological and physical trauma. Counseling can help resolve psychological trauma and help the body, mind, and heart heal. I'm a Multicultural Feminist who believes we are more than the sum of our parts. I believe that increasing awareness of the roles we play within family, society and self will result in an increased sense of self and self-empowerment. Together we can envision and create change.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 9 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help others since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That be said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another. Sessions are typically 12 weeks but will be individualized for your needs. My primary practice focus is Cognitive Behavior Therapy as I strongly believe that our thoughts heavily influence our behaviors. I have experience with several other modalities, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Solution Focus Therapy. On our journey, I will be there to empower you by providing you with the therapeutic tools needed to navigate through your life. I know it is imperative to build a solid, trusting relationship with your therapist; therefore, I will provide you the supportive environment needed to facilitate open discussion. I cannot wait to assist with your healing!

Black and Brown women...this is the space where I can sit here and talk about some of the common things you're navigating in life. But, I'm going to skip that part. You're here because in some way, shape or form you need some more support. Even more specifically you're looking for a clinician who "get's it" without you having to do tons of explaining. The bottom line: I want you to live your best life. But not the version that other people tell you, you're "suppose to" want. No. In our work together we will discover what it is that you want in life, what's in the way, and how to achieve calm and confidence on a daily basis. You want your days to be less cluttered with worry and sadness. You deserve that. An occasional offer to help or words of appreciation are definitely welcome. Although we can’t change the 24-hour day, you’d like to not be so preoccupied with to-do lists and be more comfy with “going with the flow.” As a clinician of color, it’s comforting to have someone to talk to that looks like you and gets it. I understand how busy life is, so I offer online appointments for women in Massachusetts, Florida and Georgia. Schedule your free consultation to see if we'd be a good fit.
