Introduction

Hello! I’m Dr. Carla, the founder of Haven Therapy of Atlanta. I am a licensed therapist and I’ve served the Atlanta community for the last 15 years. Haven first began in my heart as I sat with people striving for meaningful changes in their lives and relationships. I serve adults and specialize in identity development through loss and change, maternal mental health, and relationship therapy. Just like you, I have experienced loss, struggled with relationships, and battled insecurities. I am humbled by the trust my clients put in me daily. It is my honor to journey through the twists and turns of change with people. I help them see their strength and humanity as they weather storms that test their innate power.
