Hi, I’m Chrissy! I’m an Atlanta, GA native and an LCSW with more than 16 years of experience working with people of all ages, from toddlers to older adults. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work from UGA and have worked in hospitals, early intervention, home health, hospice, and rehabilitation settings. My first goal is simply to get to know you—your experiences, what’s important to you, and what has brought you to seek support. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy should be a safe place where you feel heard, supported, and free from judgment, while also gaining practical tools, insight, and a sense of progress along the way. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients, and I feel fortunate to do this work. My goal is to help you reach your goals and create the positive changes in your life that led you to seek therapy.

We are disconnected - from each other, from the world, and from ourselves. Humans suffer profoundly when they can’t connect. Using Existential Therapy as a framework, I help clients navigate challenges regarding isolation, purpose, choice, and death in order to reconnect in healthy ways. A therapist acts as a mirror, not giving advice but helping you see yourself clearly and encouraging the self-respect that fuels healthy relationships. Provided the fit is good, trust is established, and you are motivated for change, therapy can be an excellent starting point for building the life you desire. I practice primarily with individual adults but also groups. I also work with high-functioning teens who are motivated for change. Virtual sessions upon request, in-person strongly recommended.

I believe in creating a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend. Therapy with me is collaborative and deeply human — a place where emotions are welcomed, questions are explored, and growth unfolds naturally. I help individuals navigate OCD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and seasons of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we work toward clarity, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to who you truly are. I believe my experience living in 11 countries across South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa has shaped a deep sense of cultural awareness and sensitivity. I bring this perspective into my work with clients from diverse backgrounds, honoring each individual’s values, beliefs, and personal worldview. Therapy with me is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding your unique story.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical support. I’ve worked in community mental health, integrated healthcare, schools, and leadership roles, giving me a broad understanding of how emotional, physical, and life stressors affect overall well-being. I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and behavioral challenges. I also have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health, supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional adjustments that can come with growing a family. In addition, I have experience supporting individuals and caregivers coping with chronic illness, cancer, and other significant health challenges, recognizing the connection between emotional and physical wellness. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself while we work together toward meaningful change. I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re seeking coping skills, healing from difficult experiences, or support during a challenging season of life, I’m here to help you build resilience, strengthen your confidence, and move forward with hope. Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My role is to meet you where you are, help you discover your strengths, and equip you with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change.

I view therapy as a collaborative, structured process tailored to each patient's unique physiological, psychological, and situational needs. Every client's journey is unique — I start by listening carefully to your story and the specific challenges bringing you to therapy. From there, we work as a team to identify the sources of your stress and build practical strategies that empower you to thrive in your day-to-day life. Whether we draw on present-focused skills, learn to navigate tough emotions, or process deeper memories — we decide the best path forward together. Grounded in a comprehensive lifespan perspective, my goal is to foster long-term resilience, functional recovery, and health optimization through evidence-based practice.

To overcome a disability that occurred in 1999 and severely damaged my spinal cord, I began to build a stronger relationship with God. Although I was bound to a wheelchair, this relationship did not bind me to depression and anger and gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. In turn, I felt encouraged to gain medical and spiritual knowledge to help others achieve this same triumph. Through years of practice and sharing testimony, I have been able to touch many and be changed in the same way through each experience. I not only aim to help people put their pieces together, but look to be touched as well by their stories and refine my own pieces as well. Faith-building exercises such as gratitude, encouragement, self-love, and confidence building are rooted in my practice for a happier and healthier you. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, and discussing my concerns with God-fearing counselors.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor with 20+ years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, compulsive sexual behavior, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in CBT, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and trauma‑informed care. I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change through compassionate, goal‑focused therapy. I work especially well with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Whether someone is mandated to treatment, coping with the impact of past trauma, struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, or trying to break long-standing patterns, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore what's happening and create a clear path forward.

Im a Trauma informed specialist, certified in EMDR and trained in Attachment Trauma for Adults. I listen, empathize, and create a space that is safe for my clients.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Life can be complicated, overwhelming, and sometimes downright frustrating. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I work with individuals experiencing addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're struggling with difficult emotions, feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or adjusting to unexpected changes, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and discover healthier ways to move forward. My therapeutic style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative, with a little humor when appropriate. I believe meaningful growth comes from honest conversations, self-reflection, and sometimes being willing to see things from a different perspective. I'll listen, support you, and validate your experiences, but I'll also challenge you when needed. Sometimes growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone, and I'll be there to support you through that process. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and supportive therapy into my work. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll identify your goals, recognize your strengths, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in everyday life. Therapy isn't about being perfect or having all the answers. It's about understanding yourself, making intentional choices, and learning how to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, laughing when appropriate, and celebrating your progress. You don't have to know exactly where you're going to take the first step. We'll figure out the direction together.

My goal is to support individuals in learning healthy coping skills that they can utilize in their current situations as well as in the future.

Hey there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I am passionate about helping young and maturing individuals struggling with emotional wounds, wanting to be renewed from limiting beliefs, and realign with their true beauty and purpose — from the inside out.

Hello! I'm a licensed professional counselor based in Georgia. I received my Masters from Mercer University, Atlanta, and have been practicing for six years. I love helping women who are experiencing emotional, physical, and spiritual burnout regain their sense of peace and autonomy. In our work together, we will create a safe space for healing and improve your overall self-compassion. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. During our sessions, I will provide a nonjudgmental space for you to explore what is keeping you stuck. I will guide you towards developing healthy coping skills, boundaries, and improved self-compassion. In sessions, I utilize shadow work, mindful self-compassion, and somatic integration. I'm also a certified yoga nidra practitioner. 

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times. I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within. As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

My passion for knowledge keeps me curious and always learning, which helps me stay in tune with the latest insights in mental health. I am a firm believer that no one knows more about your life than you do—you are the author of your story. My role is to support you as you write your next chapter or even change the title altogether. My approach to therapy is grounded in sincerity, client-driven methods, and evidence-based practices. I strive to create an autonomous and ethical therapeutic environment where you feel supported and empowered.
