Michael Ramsey, LMFT

Michael Ramsey, LMFT

Psychotherapist
GA
Hi there, I'm Michael! I go by "Alec," and while I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, I've spent my time in the field assisting those who have lost control. I began my career in an inpatient addiction rehab, then worked in addiction intensive outpatient, and now provide a more general service in private practice. While I cut my teeth on addiction treatment, I found that ADHD, Trauma (PTSD), Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, OCD, and a host of other factors often accompanied addiction. So, I have made it my goal to help a broad range of people overcome what feels unmanageable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Richmont Graduate University, which laid the foundation for my clinical approach. My approach I primarily see every person through the lens of attachment theory-most people have wounds from developmental ages that they are still trying to overcome in the present. From there, I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing techniques-catered to each client-to help people find solutions to the problems that plague them. When working with couples, I use the Emotionally Focused Therapy framework to help partners communicate deeper and more effectively. My focus My clients are tired of managing things alone and ready to try something new to solve problems and regain a sense of control over those unmanageable things. They often find daily activities nearly impossible or see themselves slipping on things they once had control over. My clients are ready for a change, or at least ready to consider their options. My communication style I have been told repeatedly that I come across as "warm and welcoming." You are likely to find me easy to talk to-it is my goal to make our time comfortable and safe. I am not keen on homework or rigidity and instead try to remain flexible to unforeseen circumstances or changes.
