Professional statement

Dr. David Trant is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a private practice in the Lenox neighborhood of Atlanta, GA. He works with individuals 16 and older and couples. Many of David’s clients come in when navigating difficult transitional times in their lives, when feeling unsatisfied or unfulfilled with their careers, or feeling disconnected in their romantic relationships. David is particularly passionate about working with men who struggle to articulate their emotional experience, guiding them to have a richer, more fulfilling life. He also has expertise in trauma and PTSD, having received specialized training in a variety of settings including a community HIV clinic, a Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and in private practice.

Therapy with David involves both exploring and understanding the role of the past as well as developing skills to use in the present. His style integrates a variety of models, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, and cognitive psychotherapy. Ensuring that his patients feel safe and heard, David works collaboratively with his patients to reach their goals while also drawing their attention to goals they may not be aware of. For David’s patients, progress in therapy often means having a deeper and stronger connection to their emotional experience as well as having confidence in using new tools to face new challenges.

He currently offers remote therapy to patients across Georgia with plans to return to in-person psychotherapy over the summer. His office is located at 62B Lenox Pointe NE at the corner of Lenox Road and Buford Highway, convenient from both I-85 and 400.


Message to clients

Are you going through the motions in your life? As if a piece of your puzzle won’t fit, no matter how much you force it? Do you struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, or fear from a painful or traumatic experience you have had? Maybe you’ve tried talking about it with friends and loved ones—possibly even a psychotherapist or two—but you can’t seem to find a path that leads to feeling whole. For many, this can be an overwhelmingly isolating experience.

Calling a therapist can be intimidating. My goal for therapy is to offer my patients a warm and safe environment that allows for a trusting relationship to form. As our therapeutic relationship deepens, my patients and I work to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, overcome shame, foster new paths for growth, and improve their quality of life.

Life is too short for feeling stuck, aimless, ashamed, or afraid. These feelings don’t have to define your life. Together we can work to find the place of healing you may have thought you’d lost. If this resonates with you, visit my website or give me a call today.
