Sheldon Rifkin, LP — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Sheldon!

If life and personal issues leave you feeling distressed, I can help. I provide an individualized approach to help the people I work with feel empowered and equipped to meet life’s challenges.

My focus

My goal is to enable my clients to feel free of exhausting anxiety and depression and, instead, to feel competent, intentional, and self-directive in their approach to life issues.

My approach

I am a psychologist who emphasizes a generalist approach with a multicultural focus utilizing an interpersonal and interactive supportive method and style that encourages personal growth, personal responsibility and cognitive as well as emotional self-awareness

My communication style

I am an interactive listener who shares that space with my client in a collaborative effort to enhance self-awareness and self-understanding. I will challenge and I can be directive. I use humor in a judicious and purposeful manner.

My goals for you

Together we establish goals and work toward them within the treatment modality. There is always the realization and appreciation that goals may modify, change or be added to.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
