About
As a clinician with 22 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience in the mental health field. She understands the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine enjoys working with clients who are experiencing self-identity, interpersonal relational issues that affect their job and family dynamics. This is her ideal type of client to work with because there is a lot of self-exploration the client will need to work on first. Some of the issues that will come up are self-loathing, lack of esteem, shame, and poor self-image. As a clinician, Catherine provides them support and total acceptance. When the client can begin to embrace and accept who they are without judgment, they can begin to work on how they relate to other people in all areas of their life. This can be done slowly and one step at a time. The pace is usually set by the client and how they progress along in treatment as they embrace each stage of their new self.
Catherine began her career in the mental health field as a therapist in an inpatient facility, responsible for the patient's ongoing clinical progress while at the hospital. Her patients varied in ages from 10 to 12-year-old children, to 13 to 17-year-old adolescents, to 18 to 55-year-old adults, and seniors who were in crisis. She worked with patients who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Major Depression, Obsessive Impulsive Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, Alcohol/Drug Dependency, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorder, just to name a few.
Catherine really enjoys getting to know people while working with them on their unique concerns. She offers a very supportive and client-centered environment to therapy, and she loves helping clients move toward their goals by being a partner in their journey towards a renewed self and clinically appropriate treatment. She enjoys working with clients and assigning them research-based homework activities to help them work independently on areas of concerns outside of the sessions. Her areas of specialty include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and other researched based therapeutic approaches that are appropriate to treatment.

As an altruistic individual, it is my goal to provide the greatest care and service to all clients.
Hello, my name is Henry Clopton, and I'm a native Atlantan who believes in true communalism. I grew up on the Southwest side of Atlanta and attended Morehouse College and Georgia State University for my undergraduate work, then Georgia State for my master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. I'm currently in my third year of a Ph.D. program in the Humanities — with a double concentration in African American Studies and History — at Clark Atlanta University. I work with clients navigating self-esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, marriage and relationship struggles, existential issues, and more.
During sessions, I create comfort through real conversation — to erase any fears or stereotypes about the counseling process. When you're in the therapeutic space with me, I want you to feel proud, capable, and enough. From there, we do the root work together — through whatever uncomfortable moments of growth that takes.
My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself. I want to give you the tools to meet any challenge and be a positive influence in your community. I hope to build a network of people who actively promote therapy and stand in the gap for those who don't yet know what it can do for their lives. Let's schedule some time to simply talk.

As a woman with a unique background, I am a passionate ally and lifelong learner committed to social justice. I am drawn to the mental health and therapy field because of my deep alignment with the ethics of social work and my dedication to supporting diverse individuals by honoring their beliefs, cultures, and lived experiences.
Kimberly Sullivan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of experience. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, domestic/sexual assault clinics, and outpatient programs, supporting individuals through transitions, crises, and recovery. She enjoys working with individuals, emerging adults, couples, and families to help them identify what services and treatment paths are best suited to their goals and needs.
Kim earned her Master’s in Social Work from Walden University. She collaboratively identifies areas of growth and support based on client priorities. She helps clients navigate therapy without pressure, offering a safe space for exploring tools to reduce stress, solve problems, and uncover strengths.
Kim believes everyone holds the answers to their struggles, but sometimes needs guidance to access and apply them. Her approach is affirming and client-centered, focusing on activating change by meeting people where they are and walking beside them on their healing journey.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Atlanta, GA is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Couples or marriage counseling is a type of talk therapy which aims to encourage better communication and equip spouses or partners with the tools that will allow them to improve their relationship. It is strongly encouraged that both partners attend the counseling sessions – only then can they work together towards finding a solution to their problems.
A successful marriage or couples therapy won’t provide one with ready-made answers – on the contrary, the aim of the therapy is to allow the couple to reach conclusions of their own. A counselor is an impartial arbiter who is there to foster constructive communication, teach partners to negotiate, listen to one another and better understand each other’s feelings and views. If you and your partner could benefit from couples therapy, reach out to Thriveworks Atlanta to get scheduled.
Relationship counseling is often seen as a last resort solution for those couples who are on the verge of getting a divorce or separating. However, one doesn’t have to wait until things get so bad before seeking professional help – many couples, in fact, choose to join therapy to prevent future conflicts, to work towards an even healthier and happier relationship or to get ready for their forthcoming marriage or parenthood.
On the other side of the spectrum there are couples who are facing serious difficulties – infidelity, conflict over financial issues, lack of agreement over core values and life expectations (e.g. having children) or loss of passion and interest in one another, for example. In these cases, couples or marriage counseling might be of particularly great benefit – allowing partners to settle their conflict or, at times, to part ways in a peaceful manner.
Identifying the right moment to seek professional help is not simple – every relationship is different and some couples might be more successful than others at dealing with their problems alone. Ultimately, it is down to both partners to decide when it is necessary to start marriage or couples counseling – although specialists note that once partners feel that the situation has reached a dead end and no progress can be made, it might be the right moment to do so.
The Gottman Method is an effective approach to couples therapy that involves a detailed evaluation of one’s relationship as well as research-backed mediations. If you and your significant other choose to pursue Gottman Method Couples Therapy, you can expect it to follow this structure:
You can also expect to tackle the following with the help of your couples therapist: 1) build love maps to better understand your partner’s stressors, worries, hopes, and more, 2) grow affection and admiration for one another, 3) better understand each other’s needs, 4) improve problem-solving skills, and 5) better manage conflicts.
