For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I find that most people who come to see me mention that they felt anxious before coming to therapy. Most of the time I hear that they were surprised how relaxed and comfortable the process was. I make an effort to help people feel safe and I work collaboratively when at all possible so that people feel that they are in control of their therapy. I often say that you are the expert on you, I have read a lot of books and have many years of experience; and I believe if we put our heads together, we can come up with solutions and options to help you meet your goals.

Have you been feeling more anxious lately? Are your relationships and work life suffering? I’d love to help. I use several established modalities like EMDR, Emotion Focused Individual and Couples Therapy among others to help you build a calmer, happier life. Free phone consult and in office (county health order permitting) and teletherapy options available.

Therapy is a collaborative process. It's about creating a safe space where you can share your struggles and work together with a professional to address them. You don't have to do it alone. Taking that first step may feel overwhelming, but it’s often the most important one toward a healthier, more balanced life.

My name is Solomon Abebe, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective healthcare. I currently work as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Cape Side Health, a role I've held since June 2023. My journey in healthcare includes varied experiences across hospitals in Georgia, from working as a travel RN at Northside Hospital to supporting patients in critical care at Grady Memorial Hospital. Throughout my career, I have been committed to recording vital patient information, addressing any issues promptly, and delivering comprehensive bedside care. My background also includes time with Emory and Piedmont hospitals, where I honed my skills in diverse medical settings. I hold a degree from Georgia State University and continue to stay updated with the latest in healthcare to ensure my patients receive top-notch care. My focus is on making my patients feel heard, safe, and well-cared for in their healthcare journey.

Dealing with mental health issues can be scary. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with 17 years of healthcare experience. I work with patients to help address their mental health issues with a whole-person approach to help take the fear out of getting help. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other type of mental health issue, I offer a compassionate, open, and accepting environment to help you deal with any issues you might be having. I offer care to patients with all mental health issues but specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I holistically approach care, treating the whole person, not just their mental health issues. The holistic approach includes lifestyle changes, meditation, mindfulness, and medication management if necessary. Mental health care does not need to be scary, learning how to approach care can make all the difference. My approach includes empathy, understanding, and acceptance no matter how big or small the need.

My goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care, whether you're seeking help with medication management, prescription refills, or a combination of medication and therapy. I understand that mental health needs are personal and often urgent, which is why I place great importance on being available to my patients.

Hello, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who enjoys working with individuals from ages 18 to 65 who are seeking a variety of treatment options to improve their mental health. In addition to medication management, I can offer several therapy and biofeedback resources to help manage and improve complex mental health issues and overall daily function. For my ADHD clients, I offer nonstimulant medications as well as biofeedback options, but I do not prescribe amphetamines for this diagnosis. I specialize in treating adults and veterans who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, brain injury, sleep issues, and ADHD. For those challenged with treatment resistant depression, I have access to resources that provide both Ketamine and TMS services throughout the Dallas area. I am licensed in both Texas and Missouri. I believe in developing rapport, cultivating trust, and working with my clients where they are at while offering them alternative options (not just medications) for their mental health journey.

I would tell them "just do it"! I know how hard it is to make that call. Its common that by the time someone is calling for therapy, they should have called months ago! There have been two times in my life where my support system had to tell me to go back to therapy. Even though I knew I was struggling, I put off (or avoided) calling my therapist. Even professional therapists think they don't need help, I can handle this, this will go away/I just need time or (more to the point) I don't want to talk about it. The first time was when I had two miscarriages and didn't even realize how depressed I was. The second was when both my parents passed away within three months. I credit my therapist with giving me the tools, the space to process, the time and understanding to heal and grow, to be better, feel better, and be more effective personally and professionally.

There is a lot of “noise” in our lives that challenges our sense of self, our direction, our place in this world that causes self-doubt and conflict (within ourselves and with others). Using a flexible, client-centered approach I focus on what parts of that “noise” the client seeks clarity with, and how to quiet that “noise” to finally hear yourself. We set goals for therapy together in a safe and affirming space. My private practice also includes a psychological concierge service for individuals navigating complex life crises that involving multiple entities (family/group, hospital/treatment facility, jail, court, private security services, attorneys). Call for a free consultation.

I would want to tell them that therapy is a safe and supportive space for self-discovery and growth. It's okay to have reservations, but taking that first step can lead to transformative change. You don't have to face your challenges alone. Together, we can navigate your journey towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population. Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph. I welcome you.

It can be intimidating to start therapy for the first time or even to dive back into therapy after a long break. I like to schedule a consultation call so that my future clients can get a feel of my personality and ask any questions that might provide more information about whether or not they feel I will be a good fit. During our first session, I'll talk about how the process of therapy works and hopefully alleviate some of those potential fears associated with starting therapy.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.
