Steven Alper

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Decatur, GA


Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

Stephen (Rock) Nelson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Brookhaven, GA


I work primarily with adult men who may appear successful and capable on the outside, but inwardly feel stuck, confused, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals or retired men who’ve spent years focused on careers and responsibilities, but now find themselves asking deeper questions about who they are, why they feel the way they do, and how to live more authentically. Some are navigating major life transitions—divorce, retirement, grief, or aging. Others are simply tired of feeling emotionally numb, misunderstood, or unsure of how to change long-standing patterns.

I specialize in working with men who are ready to take an honest look at themselves—not because something is “broken,” but because something inside is asking for more. More clarity. More peace. More understanding of why they think, feel, and act the way they do. Using evidence-based modalities such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS) , Hypnotherapy and DBT.

I understand the pressures, expectations, and quiet struggles many men carry—but rarely talk about. I also know how hard it can be to reach out and say, “I could use someone to talk to.” Therapy isn’t about being weak. It’s about being brave enough to face what’s been buried, and strong enough to grow beyond it. If any of this speaks to you, let's talk
