Bree Winkler Christian

We all need support in dealing with life's challenges, but sometimes just asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems for which we are seeking support. I provide counseling services to individuals and couples. My specialties include working with adults to manage Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Trauma, and Relationship issues. As a stepmom, I also have a passion for helping people navigate the unique complexities of non-nuclear family units.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and a former Certified School Counselor. I received a Master’s in Education and a Specialist in Education from Georgia State University in 2004 and 2006. I received a BA in Psychology from The University of Michigan (Go Blue!) in 2000. I have been counseling since 2004.

I continue to attend conferences to learn more skills and techniques for topics that I am personally passionate. For example, in 2025, I completed Level 1 Training for Brainspotting, which is a tool of techniques using fixed eye positive to focus and access deep trauma hidden inside the limbic system of the brain.

In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

I provide a holistic approach to therapy by incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other therapeutic modalities. Building and practicing coping skills is a vital part of therapy with me. Whether you are looking to learn new ways of dealing with behavioral, emotional, or relationship patterns, or are seeking support for you or your relationship, I offer my clients a compassionate, supportive, yet challenging environment in which to achieve their full potential. When I talk with clients, I work to create a space where they feel supported and safe while also incorporating some fun! I am committed to providing a safe therapeutic environment for you to learn to use healthy coping strategies to manage the challenges of daily life.

The initial 50-60-minute session is designed to gather information on your history and your current concerns. During this session, I will listen, develop a therapeutic plan, help you set therapy goals, and begin to implement strategies and tools for you to use outside of therapy. I may also assign homework. A major component to therapy is a healthy and supportive therapeutic relationship between you and the therapist. This initial session is set up for you to ask questions and begin to gain trust to create the foundation of a healthy therapeutic relationship.
