Experience A Place for me Counseling & Coaching: Uncover Your Story, Redefine Mental Wellness

As society shifts away from a stigma-focused narrative surrounding mental wellness, A Place For Me Counseling and Coaching is leading the way in redefining mental wellness. We embrace a new story—one rooted in empowerment and acceptance. Redefining mental wellness as a social justice initiative entails recognizing and challenging the systemic barriers and biases that have historically marginalized individuals with mental health concerns. By reframing mental health through a lens of empowerment, we are supporting you by leading the way to dismantle the structures that perpetuate stigma and discrimination.

Our History

At A Place for Me Counseling, our origins date back to 2012 when our founder Erlese Caruth recognized a significant need while assisting clients within the foster care and criminal justice systems. Moved by their stories of displacement and the feeling of being overlooked, Erlese’s own experiences of not belonging resonated deeply.

A turning point occurred when Erlese undertook the task of working with a family of 8 children, all adopted to remain together. During the process of assessments and treatment planning, the children expressed a heartfelt desire: they simply longed for “a place where they could just be.”

This revelation ignited Erlese’s dedication to working with children, inspiring her to establish A Place for Me Counseling in 2012. Initially situated in the vibrant community of Little Five Points, Atlanta, it was envisioned as a sanctuary for children and families from underserved communities and those often marginalized by society.

Over time, our practice evolved into a haven for individuals, couples, and families seeking a space to be acknowledged, heard, and, above all, to simply be. The impact of the pandemic prompted the practice’s transition to include a virtual and in-person space, where we continue to thrive and cater to the evolving needs of the community.
