Reed Slay works with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, identity development, and life transitions. He is especially passionate about helping teenage boys and young men who struggle with self-confidence, feel pressure to meet expectations, have difficulty expressing their emotions, or find themselves questioning who they are and where they fit in. Whether facing challenges with friendships, dating or marital relationships, academics or career, athletics, or family dynamics, Reed helps clients develop a stronger sense of self and greater confidence in navigating everyday life.

Reed also has a particular passion for supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating parental divorce and complicated family relationships. He understands how changes within the family can impact a young person's sense of security, identity, and belonging.

Reed's counseling style is approachable and relational. He believes meaningful growth begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without the pressure to have everything figured out. For teenagers who may be hesitant about counseling or men who find it difficult to open up, Reed strives to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment. His goal is to help clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical skills to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and hope. For clients who desire it, Reed welcomes the integration of Christian faith and spirituality into the counseling process while respecting each individual's beliefs and values.

Reed is currently pursuing his Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and serves as a clinical counseling intern under supervision. He received Bachelor of Arts degrees in Communication and Religion from the University of Georgia. Outside of counseling, Reed and his wife are actively involved with Young Life in the Johns Creek area, where they enjoy investing in the lives of teenagers and building meaningful relationships within their community.

A note from Reed —

Today’s world is full of outside noise and pressure to perform from those around you. I am excited to explore those ideas with you, right where you are. I truly hope that by working together we can begin to build confidence, self-esteem, and courage to be yourself every day.
