I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and EMDR Certified (EMDR-C). I help people heal from trauma and reclaim the parts of themselves that trauma has buried — the confidence, the trust, the ease. I founded Intake Psychotherapy & Wellness, LLC because I believe everything we "intake" throughout life — every experience, every relationship, every loss — shapes who we become. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida and Georgia, plus in-person sessions in Newnan, Georgia. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Webster University, a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Phoenix, and a TeleMental Health Training Certificate (THTC). I work with clients 18 and up, treating childhood and adult trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and ADHD. I don't believe healing follows one formula, so I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches to fit each person in front of me — not the other way around.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you're in the right place. I'm Katya, and I see therapy as a practical, collaborative space where we focus on real progress, not perfection. Together, we'll work to better understand the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your ability to manage life's challenges, and build on the strengths you already have. I think of therapy a little like a climb: progress isn't always about pushing harder. Sometimes it means pausing, reassessing, and finding your next steady hold. My goal is to help you build steadiness, clarity, and self-trust so you can move through life with more resilience.

I am currently only accepting female clients. My journey to becoming a mental health counselor is built on a foundation of professional dedication and a deep understanding of human resilience. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my approach is centered on trauma-informed care and psychodynamic principles, but my perspective is uniquely shaped by over two decades of firsthand experience in high-stress, high-stakes environments. Before entering the world of clinical practice, I served our nation in the U.S. Army and later dedicated myself to public service as a law enforcement officer. These experiences instilled in me an unparalleled sense of discipline, a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, and, most importantly, a profound appreciation for the immense psychological burden that accompanies a life of service. My lived experience allows me to connect with clients in a way that academic training alone cannot, fostering a level of trust and authenticity that is critical for true healing. My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I am committed to helping my clients not just manage their symptoms, but to truly understand their root causes. Using an in-depth psychodynamic approach, we will work together to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to gain deep self-awareness, empowering you to break old cycles and build a more resilient and fulfilling future. While my background gives me a unique understanding of veterans, first responders, and their families, my practice is open to anyone navigating life’s most challenging experiences. I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for healing, and my role is to provide the support, insight, and practical tools to help you on your journey. I am here to be a trusted partner in your path toward emotional well-being and personal peace.

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

If you’re constantly overthinking, struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected from your body, or having a difficult relationship with food, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m Anjalie Sukhwa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, university professor, and PhD candidate. I work with adults navigating anxiety, eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, chronic health stress, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and the pressure to appear “okay” while feeling overwhelmed internally. Many of my clients are responsible, capable, and used to holding everything together for others. Although they may appear composed on the outside, they often feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, self-critical, or stuck in patterns that are affecting their relationship with food, their body, or themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and nonjudgmental. Together, we will explore the patterns contributing to your distress, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop realistic tools you can use in your everyday life. I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I also integrate a mind-body perspective when supporting clients with eating concerns, body image distress, chronic illness, or medical stress. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, values, relationships, identity, and cultural background. My style is supportive while also gently challenging. I will meet you with empathy while helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Our work will focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.

I’ve been working for over 20 years with all kinds of people coping with all kinds of stress, hardships and setbacks. I love to help people increase their self awareness, self acceptance, and overall happiness.

Hi, I’m Mercedes Harrison— and I help youth and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next chapter move from self-doubt to clarity and confident action. Whether you're a child struggling to understand big emotions, a teenager trying to make sense of growing pressures, a young adult feeling lost in transitions, or someone further along in life wondering, “Is this really it?” — I’m here to help you find your footing again. I know how heavy it can feel to carry anxious thoughts, self-criticism, or a sense that you're falling behind. Maybe you're caught in comparison, struggling to make decisions, or just unsure of what you truly want. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. In our work together, we’ll create a space that’s calm, compassionate, and free of judgment. We'll begin to untangle the thoughts and patterns that are keeping you stuck, reconnect with your values, and build a sense of direction that feels true to you — one small, manageable step at a time. I support clients in learning to trust themselves, speak more kindly to their inner world, and take action from a place of clarity rather than fear. My approach is grounded, supportive, and tailored to where you are — whether you’re just starting to explore who you are, or ready to make meaningful changes in your life. This is about helping you come home to yourself — with more confidence, clarity, and alignment.

Hi I'm Berekat Petros, a licensed mental health counselor. I've been a practicing therapist for over 12 years in various settings, working with a diverse client population. I love the therapy experience and watching my clients get better through our work together. I have been fortunate thus far in my career to have worked with hundreds of clients, and have enjoyed the privilege of helping them. I have strong academic foundation in evidenced based treatment methodologies, and to that I add lessons learned from my own life experiences as a husband, a dad and a friend.

With over 18 years of dedicated service in counseling, I am committed to enhancing mental health and well-being in clients of all ages. My journey began when I was impacted by a compassionate school counselor during my younger years. Inspired by her positive influence, I embarked on this path to support others in their mental health journeys. Throughout my career, I have worked to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I work with clients on anxiety management, depression support, assist in navigating grief, ADHD or other behavioral challenges, & help foster healthy relationships & family systems.

I’m Darian, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (and proud cat mom) with a passion for helping women navigate life’s twists and turns. My specialties include women’s and maternal mental health, life transitions, and relationships. Growing up, I was always the friend everyone turned to for advice, and now I get to make that my life’s work. Therapy is personal for me. It’s about creating a safe, compassionate space where you can be seen, heard, and supported. My approach is grounded in experience (both professional and personal) and a whole lot of heart. When I’m not holding space for my clients, you’ll find me diving into a good book, catching up on crime and psychological thrillers, or cheering on my favorite sports teams. Let’s work together to uncover what’s holding you back and step into the best version of your YOU-nique self.
