ABOUT
Meet Dr. Schmidt
Hello, I am a clinical psychologist and the owner of Kinship Psychotherapy in Atlanta, GA. I am a trauma specialist, but I also work with adults to resolve general issues including symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, stress, and life dissatisfaction. I help those looking to increase their self-esteem, self-control, confidence, communication skills, resilience, and overall well-being. I utilize a process-oriented approach tailored to each client to provide comprehensive treatment with long-term results.
​
I attended Georgia State University for my undergraduate degree, where I researched the risk factors and psychological consequences of interpersonal violence. I continued my studies at the University of Tennessee, earning an M. A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology, focusing on conducting trauma research and therapy. I then pursued a predoctoral internship at The Institute of Living and a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine, where I worked with trauma survivors at the Grady Hospital inpatient unit and the Nia Project. In 2021, I opened my own private practice and have been honored to help those suffering from a wide variety of issues, including trauma. Currently, I provide individual therapy in private practice, in addition to my role as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Emory University School of Medicine.
As a clinical psychologist, I was trained to incorporate the most up-to-date psychological research into my clinical work. You can trust that I will provide the latest and most scientifically supported treatment possible to ensure you receive effective and evidence-based therapy.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU
I specialize in providing empirically-based care in a personalized and comfortable setting. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychoanalytic Therapy. No matter what struggles you currently face, I will support you in a holistic and personalized manner so that you feel empowered to embark on your journey towards lasting wellness and overall well-being.
