Kristole Pierce, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Kristole!

I view psychotherapy as a balanced partnership and process in which you are the expert on your life, and I am the experienced guide who walks with you to a destination of healing and truth.

My focus

I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA people who have experienced some form of trauma, crisis, loss, or life change. I specialize in treating those with PTSD, anxiety, grief, depression, and bipolar disorder.

My approach

My approach to psychotherapy is a customized blend of trauma-focused CBT, Reality Therapy, Empowerment Theory, and Afrocentric Psychology.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as a therapist I am empowering, open-minded, and challenging.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that I fell in love with this vocation as a psychotherapist as a wild-eyed sophomore in college, who thought for sure she was going to be an architectural engineer. It was that first introduction to psychology course that captured my intrigue and desire to help and heal others.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process in which the client and the therapist will assist the client in expressing, identifying, and evaluating their own desired outcomes.

Our first session

The client will leave the first session with me with an expectation and hope that it is possible to live their best life in the way they so desire.
