If you are seeking a therapist who you can be comfortable with and trust completely, contact Jill immediately! Like many of you reading this, I, too, was on yelp searching for someone who I could connect to and who would be able to see the essence of who I am through the murky angst I was suffering from. After reading the reviews for Jill's practice, I forced myself to give her a call and was so relieved to get a quick response. I was able to get an appointment and knew immediately that Jill was someone who I would be able to trust and confide in. I started seeing Jill weekly back in January of 2018 (again, she is life changing). Jill helped me to begin to work through so many different issues that I was finding difficulty in overcoming (self identity, parental issues, anxiety, etc.). She allowed me to cry, share my thoughts aloud, let things go, breathe, challenge myself, and so much more. It is because of Jill's understanding and encouragement that I began to heal myself. Jill has so many wonderful traits that I will never be able to put in words for anyone who is reading this review. She allows you to do the work while guiding you through your thoughts and emotions. I felt like an actual human and not a case file during my sessions with her. She is such a grounded, badass woman who has one of the most kind spirited personalities. Jill communicates clearly and in a way that you sure to understand. In short, if you are seeking a therapist, contact Jill Lewis. She is a wonderful human being (seriously an understatement)! If you're willing to do the work, she will meet your commitment tenfold. Contact her now! It will not be a decision that you regret! You deserve to feel whole!

About a year ago, I wrote a review for Jill on here and it was flagged and eventually deleted,…read moreprobably because I hadn't written any other Yelp reviews and wasn't very active on the site.. So here I am, re-posting one, which in itself should help you understand how important this is. Let me try to recall what I had previously written: Having been to many therapists - some when I didn't really want the help and some after I decided I wanted to get healthy. What I've come to realize is that Jill is the absolute best therapist, but ONLY if you are ready to get help. If you don't want to get help and if you plan on lying through your sessions, you won't like her. What I mean by that is she's not dumb and you're not fooling her, even if you think you are. And if you're trying, it's just a waste of money. I'm not saying this from experience. In fact, when I had Jill as an individual therapist as well as group therapist, I was more than ready to be in a better place. I know this because even in my willing mind, it was challenging. I find myself to be pretty well connected to my emotions, how I'm feeling and why, my upbringing, relationships, etc etc..and even still, Jill was able to make so many connections that I hadn't. I felt I knew the ins and outs of how therapy works, and I addressed that with Jill. I questioned what she was thinking about what I was saying and talked about myself as an individual vs myself as a patient. I was able to bring up the topic of therapy as well as all of the issues that brought me there in the first place. Jill's office became a place where no subject was off limits. I know it seems like that is what therapy should be, but very rarely have I felt comfortable enough with a therapist to really open up. As much as I may have made it seem like she's tough, she's also one of the nicest people I've ever met, especially in her industry. I have been in a healthy relationship for 3 years and just got engaged. I have thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail last year, and am currently writing this review from the Pacific Crest Trail. I am strong enough to physically, mentally, and emotionally be able to participate in the lifestyle that I love, alongside a person I love - two things I would have never been able to do had it not been for Jill. If you are living in Atlanta or in the surrounding area, know that there is a fantastic therapist that is very missed in New York and who is sure to change lives wherever she goes.. And if you go to her, tell her I say hi :)

If you are looking for highly knowledge, skilled and compassionate psychologist, I highly recommend…read moreDr. Aguirre. Dr. Aguirre helped me tremendously during a difficult period of my life where I was feeling overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities, hopeless about my relationships and grappling with existential concerns regarding my career and life. She was compassionate, understanding, nonjudgmental, and very supportive. However, she was also direct and appropriately challenged me and encouraged to look at things about myself and my past that I had been avoiding for years. Her Insight-oriented approach helped me understand and make meaning of my experience and my relationships so that I can make lasting, changes in my life. I feel so many other therapists just help you find Band-Aids for your pain and suffering, But I feel Dr. Aguirre helps you get to the root of the problem. As a result of our work, my self-esteem and self-confidence have greatly improved. I have much more satisfying relationships in my life--where there is mutual trust and vulnerability. I can't thank Sophia enough for her patience, support and wisdom.

Dr. Aguirre has helped me so much in a short time: she has helped me recognize where my issues stem from, unhealthy ways of coping, and ways to get a hold of my anxiety and move forward in a positive and promising direction when it comes to starting a new relationship while really learning from the mistakes I've made in past relationships. I always look forward to sharing my highs and lows with Dr. Aguirre and getting her insight on things I'm thinking about and trying to work through. Also, her office is hip, stylish, comfy and felt peaceful.

I wish I could give this establishment along with their practices & ethics & purpose 10 stars if…read morethat were possible. I won't go into details, but I went through a very traumatic experience (involving family) while visiting in California this past year and I basically just shut down, lost a lot of hope and felt as though I was hanging from a thread. I have never really had to deal with loss in my life and everyone handles things differently, some better than others. This lasted for several months (putting it mildly) and I was just lost and unable to process certain events and REALLY move forward. And I do not have any family out here in Georgia, so I live simply and frugally and at the same time I am a free-spirited loner, -if that makes any sense, -so I don't really have anyone to open up to & at the same time it's not really my style to burden others with things I'm going through. So, I'm writing this review and giving this information because the least I can do is give back a little something (hopefully) and maybe my experience & progress (that is still ongoing) will speak to or help even one person that needs or could benefit from counseling. This counsel comes from a qualified Emory resident who is a step away from being a licensed in the state of GA psychologist and will soon be going into their own practice. Not only do they help you, but everything is also reviewed confidentially by their mentor/professor as well. And their mentor can give them input and direction regarding each individuals' recovery and what might work best, etc. etc. You get two for the price of one, the best of both worlds! These resident psychologists are second to none due to being so new, passionate, eager & genuinely want to help you in anyway that works in your best interest. My counseling is in its third month now and I feel like I was saved. I am forever grateful for my psychologist who is full of compassion, completely nonjudgmental, honest, rational, caring, and the list goes on and on. You simply cannot put a price on having peace of mind and being able to sleep at night and waking up feeling like you have a purpose. And it's never too late, no matter how old you are. But what about the cost? Yes, therapy is known to be pretty darn expensive and that's just one of the several reasons why I was so interested in the services offered by Emory University. A friend mentioned some details to me and said they do offer low cost counseling. So, after doing some research and making some phone calls, giving some phone interviews, etc. etc. -I was accepted and about a month later I was sitting face-to-face with my first therapist ever. And my progress has been phenomenal. This facility is on the fifth floor, does not accept insurance or credit cards and will work with you on a sliding scale. It's pretty amazing and I probably get about four sessions for the price of one. There is so much more I could say but my words can't come close to conveying what a godsend Emory Psychological Center on Eagle Row has been for me. Eternally grateful.

My husband and I was practiced EFT or emotionally focused therapy, but getting to spend 2 full days working with it was such a connecting experience. The concepts taught provide amazing insight into the deeper dynamics at play when those little fights turn into bigger/more painful conflicts. The staff were very well trained and supportive. I appreciated the mix of science behind the concept and simple accessible explanation of the concepts.

Empowerment isn't even the right term. Emotional connection via mutual bonding would be a more accurate.

All I can say is that the course really helped me see my partner for the first time. We were lucky and fortunate to attened.
