    ★★★★★

    Lena Franklin, LCSW

  • If your still on the fence about starting couple therapy look no further. Liz Clements has helped my relationship tremendously. As we all know relationships are tough and requires a lot of work. I unfortunately was working against my relationship and didn’t know it. Liz helped me to see in the ways I should be focusing my efforts to help build my relationship. By providing effective communication styles and ways to advocate for the changes I needed to be happy within my relationship. Liz is honest, genuine, and actually listens to you. Which is one thing I struggled with in the past with counselors. I would highly recommend working with her.

    ★★★★★

  • We wish we could give more stars! My fiancé and I wanted to do pre-marriage counseling before getting married this year. We decided to go with Couples Counseling ATL and met with Jessica Settle. She exceeded our expectations. She has such a calming presence and is just the sweetest person ever. We felt we could talk to her about anything and after just a few months of therapy we feel stronger as a couple and more prepared to resolve conflicts and communicate more effectively. The sessions were so fun too! We laughed! We talked! We cried! It was so therapeutic and we looked forward to every single one of them. She also gave us so many great resources to use! If you and your significant other are looking for someone to talk to, look no further. Jessica is the absolute best person to go to.

  • Giovanna is very thoughtful, respectful, and acknowledging of both of us but cuts to the chase about what we need to work on. Weekend appointments are necessary for us.

    10/10

  • Mandy is incredible about holding space for each partner's perspective and gently giving direction when needed. She is so kind and well informed. She is so empathetic and makes you feel like you aren't alone in the struggles you are facing. She also regularly re-enforces your strengths as a couple and where she sees you making progress or putting in effort. She allows the couple autonomy while also using her knowledge to come up with a gameplan to resolve the issues that you want to work on. I appreciate the way that she gently corrects unhelpful thinking or communication. I have never had a therapy experience like the one with her. She makes a vulnerable experience so comfortable.

    10/10

  • Mandy can easily communicate with us, even during times of conflict or disagreement. She has a way of helping us to see the bigger picture without blaming either of us. She’s also incredibly reliable and always on time.

    10/10

  • Working with Bridge has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and effective in her teaching of the concepts. She’s able to relate the ideas with real world examples to put into perspective for all parties. Sweet personality, clean and quiet space too. Also flexibility with virtual options is a plus for people like us who live 60+ miles away.

    10/10

  • Matthew is professional and is getting to know us. Some of the examples he shares to make a point are long and my attention wanders. An expectation was set about our first 4 sessions and we did not get through all of the information for the above reason.I am hopeful about the process and the support Matthew will provide.

    9/10

  • Mandy has been amazing for us. She has given us resources and helped walk us through some of the Gottman methods so we can use them on our own in daily situations. She has been very clear about her role as a couples therapist, she has equally advocated for both of us as needed in various situations and has created a very safe space where we both feel we can bring our concerns and issues. She has been the first couples person that has been a positive fit for us in a while (we had 3-4 before her) in part because of her professionalism but mainly because of her constructive approach, which has given us actual tools to move forward and make changes in our marriage.We appreciate the option for virtual sessions.

    10/10

  • Bridge was always listening first. And that made us feel good! It wasn’t just giving us tools and then sending us along but giving guidance and using our problems as her own examples when providing guidance

    10/10

  • We had a great experience for first time couples counseling goers. Bridge helped us feel prepared for marriage and gave us great resources.

    10/10

  • Matthew is all around one of the most genuine human beings I have ever met. He is amazing in every catagory listed on this survery. He is a gem of man and is trustworthy and helpful beyond measure.

    10/10

  • I’ve been working with Matthew for years. From the moment we first started working together I’ve felt heard respected and had my feelings validated.

  • Just really connected with David. We're only just starting our counseling with him but feel comfortable with him, and feel that he is extremely competent.

    ★★★★★

  • David has been very diligent about trying to understand our situation and in my opinion never took sides. It is the one reason we come back.

    ★★★★★

  • Felt very welcomed and relaxed and able to connect easily.

    ★★★★★

  • Jessica has always been professional enough for me to feel like she's competent, but not so much that she seems disconnected from us personally.

    ★★★★★

  • I've always been worried that therapy would feel clinical and uncomfortable but Jessica did everything in her power to help me feel comfortable and understood without judgement.

    ★★★★★

  • Jessica was very professional and helpful. I think my marriage could have been saved if only my husband had been agreeable to continuing.

    ★★★★★

  • Stephanie made us feel so welcome and we never felt judged. Two days of therapy is long time, but we made it through and learned so much. After 20 years of marriage we were feeling distant and frustrated all the time. Now we’re feeling closer and know how to talk about difficult topics.

    ★★★★★

  • i I've never written a present-future review, and it does feel odd to be the first person to say anything. Well, here it goes: We're just starting out (tomorrow's our first official, nitty-gritty session). But I highly recommend Jessica Settle…Jessica is kind, patient, and human (but smoothly stays behind the ethical line). She allows people to explain themselves through their actions, and is able to name and correct those actions without ... scolding? Like I said - we'll see - this is a rough job (imagine!). But I can confidently say (even this early on) that any lack of marital success following this treatment is no fault of hers. By that same token, any successes (I'm sure she'd disagree) are in great part owed to her. She's an astute and tactful counselor.

    – Yelp Review

  • We had an awesome experience with Jessica at Couples Counseling. We did our premarital counseling with her and ended up doing more sessions than we initially thought we would. She was patient, kind, and made us feel very comfortable and heard. She had a lot of great advice and ways to cope and manage all different conflicts and just to improve our overall qualities of life. She was flexible with scheduling, timing, and always kind and sensitive. I would recommend this service and especially Jessica to any couple looking to better understand how to have a successful relationship! Overall, 5 stars!

    ★★★★★

  • Thanks to Jessica for all her help! We definitely have a stronger relationship thanks to the things we learned with her and the Gottman method. Would highly recommend!

    ★★★★★

  • Matthew has always given the impression that he truly cares about our situation while also not making us feel uncomfortable. I also feel like he has a balance of holding each one of us accountable to each other while also understanding each of our different view points. I would highly recommend.

  • Dr.David has been extremely helpful in helping my husband and I identify issues / opportunities in our marriage and how we can put practical actions in place to better our relationship for the future.

    10/10

    We believe that therapy is an important decision and investment of time and money; you want to make sure you are making the right choice. Having a "good fit" between a client and therapist is critical for a successful outcome. This is why we offer a free 30 minute initial phone or video consultation if you would like to meet any of us before deciding whether or not you would like to work with us. Here are some tips for choosing the right therapist.

    Also, if you cannot afford our services, are not able to see a counselor in-network with your insurance company, or need low fee counseling services, please consider contacting one of the training facilities, community counseling centers or educational institutions in Georgia we’ve compiled on this list. Although we are not able to see every couple at a reduced cost, your ability to afford treatment should never be a barrier to getting help, and thankfully there are many privately and publicly funded agencies that can help!
