Hello! I'm Laura. I have 8 years of experience in mental health with 4 years as a therapist. My previous work in mental health included coordinating transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS therapy) for depression and anxiety for multiple clinics. I have also been involved in psychological and neurological research. I'm here to help you with depression, anxiety, coping skills, and more! Are you struggling with work, relationships, or transitions? Perhaps you are a college student struggling to cope with the stress of that life transition, parental relationship, or keeping up with everything. Maybe you're a mother of 3 and having a hard time keeping your head above water. I'm here to help all just trying to get by or make positive changes in their life. I am not limited to the above. I can also help manage mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, PTSD, and OCD. I love to help people understand their condition and not let it control their lives using evidenced-based techniques including, but limited to, CBT, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness practice. Ready to make that positive change in your world? Let's meet and get started!

Hello! My name is Nicole Chess and I have a masters in sport psychology and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have a master's sport psychology degree from John F. Kennedy University and I have a masters in marriage and family therapy. I also have a B.A. in Business with a specialization in management information systems from San Jose State University, which I played on the number #1 golf team for many years and was in the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association). I have a passion for helping individuals transform their lives and dreams into bigger and better ones. I will collaborate with you so we come up with a plan to implement practical ways to make them come true! I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy plus hypnotherapy. I can incorporate these inside therapy so that you can improve outside of therapy and in your daily life. My clients usually see improvement in as little as 3 to 4 sessions. I have worked with lawyers, pilots, pro athletes, techies, and people from all faiths and all walks of life.

I am Casey, a queer-affirming therapist who is also part of the queer community. I specialize in working with people who are non-conforming regarding sexuality, lifestyle, relationships, gender, religion and many other ways. I want to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for people to explore thoughts, questions, issues, and feelings they are dealing with each day. I have helped many individuals use body awareness to understand emotions and mood and learn how to manage their impacts on daily life. I use an integrated approach that teaches Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Social rhythm therapy, mindfulness, and Solution Focused techniques. I have a lot of experience working with people to manage issues related to grief and loss, life adjustments, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and managing stress and crises. I know there are many ways that people express themselves and their emotions and not everything works for everyone. I bring a creative mindset to sessions to help problem solve the presenting issue.

Are you open to exploring contributing factors to emotional distress, evaluating thoughts for truth, and finding acceptance for realities that are not likely to change? Would you like to grow in your knowledge of God’s grace and further realize your identity in Christ? If so, I may be a good fit for your counseling needs! I treat clients who want spiritual interventions of the Christian faith integrated into their psychotherapy. Together we consider biblical truths and find ways to apply them to mental health. We identify, evaluate, and dispute thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that conflict with God's grace, truth, and love. Potential clients should know that I provide a safe, goal-oriented environment for you to work toward wholeness without judgment or criticism. Areas of focus include fear, anger, guilt, grief, shame, stress, forgiveness, self-esteem, relationship loss, divorce and hopelessness.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 8 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help other since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That being said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

I have been doing clinical counseling for 25 years, and unlike most providers, I have a doctorate degree in counseling. I believe that the extra education helps me to provide more thorough, informed, and helpful feedback for clients. I currently provide therapy on a broad range of issues including trauma, anxiety, substance abuse and mood disorders. I am also comfortable working with sexual, gender, and eating issues. I have experience as well with neurodivergence and autism spectrum clients. My passion in a clinical setting involves working with trauma and dissociation, in particular clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder. I believe in giving you tangible feedback and practical solutions. I intend to demystify the process of counseling so that you can truly benefit from your work. In terms of my own self-care I enjoy walking outdoors as a means of reconnecting with nature. Recently, I rediscovered tennis, and have been playing doubles with a local group twice a week. I also recently started playing ping pong and pickleball.
