About Grace Guyton, LMFT, MDiv
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides idividual and couples therapy in the Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, and metro Atlanta area. I work with clients from a genuine and caring approach, striving to help them feel heard, validated, and supported. I believe relationships (with ourself, friends, family, partner, divine being, etc.) are core to who we are as human beings and have a passion for helping people achieve the relationships they desire. I have specialty training in perinatal mental health (pregnancy through postpartum), early parenthood, couples issues, anxiety, religious/spiritual concerns, grief and loss, and developing secure and healthy relationships (with yourself, family, friends, etc.).
My personal and professional identity have been shaped by my dual training in mental and spiritual health. I received my Masters of Divinity from Emory University and continued my studies in mental health at Mercer University's Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program. I work with clients from various religious traditions, spiritual beliefs, and those who have none. I believe every person deserves to be fully loved and affirmed for who they are.
I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client depending on their needs and goals. I commonly use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and The Gottman Method. These therapy models enable me to address client's emotional experience while incorporating tools and resources to meet their specific needs.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with my husband, kids, and crazy Golden Retriever.
