Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Masters from Liberty University and have been practicing for nearly 10 years. Life is not always easy to navigate.

I’m Mariam Saibu, a somatic mental health therapist specializing in women’s mental health and the unique ways trauma, stress, and mood challenges show up in both mind and body. My goal is to create a supportive and empowering space where you can begin to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. I hold a Master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and maintain specialized licenses in trauma, addiction, and vocational counseling. Over the years, I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and state agency settings, providing care for children, adolescents, and adults. These experiences gave me the opportunity to treat a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-esteem struggles, substance use, and career transitions. I have also supported individuals on the autism spectrum in building social and behavioral skills to thrive in both employment and relationships. While I have worked with diverse populations, my passion lies in supporting women—particularly those navigating trauma, mood dysregulation, and life changes. I am licensed to practice in Georgia and Texas. I integrate my background in both biology and counseling to take a holistic approach to care. By weaving together somatic practices with evidence-based therapies, I help clients address how trauma and stress impact the body as well as the mind. In our work together, you can expect compassion, collaboration, and respect. My role is to walk alongside you, providing tools and insight to help you move forward while creating a safe environment for growth. Whether you’re seeking to manage trauma, improve mood and self-esteem, or find clarity in life’s transitions, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Has everything looked like it’s going well on the outside, but inside you feel like you’re hanging on by a thread? Are you waking up tired regardless of how much sleep you get? Do you see yourself as “the fixer” or “the caretaker” with your loved ones, but feel as though you don’t have any energy left when it comes to taking care of yourself? Does it feel selfish to take care of yourself? Does the thought of disappointing others and telling a loved one “no” fill you with dread? Old belief patterns don’t have to keep you feeling powerless anymore. Reaching out is a big first step in prioritizing your needs. I am committed to supporting you with warmth and compassion every step along the way. Together we can examine ways your old narrative no longer serves you and help foster a more peaceful and purposeful way of living.

Relationships can become painful when communication breaks down, conflict repeats, trust feels fragile, or emotional distance grows. I help couples and individuals work through marriage issues, relationship stress, repeated arguments, emotional triggers, intimacy concerns, attachment wounds, infidelity, betrayal, and broken trust. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, you do not have to face it alone. My approach is compassionate, practical, trauma-informed, and faith-sensitive when desired. I also support clients facing anxiety, trauma, pornography addiction, and relational stress. For couples impacted by an affair, emotional betrayal, secrecy, pornography, or repeated breaches of trust, healing can feel overwhelming. I help clients process the pain of betrayal, understand the patterns that led to disconnection, rebuild emotional safety, improve communication, and take practical steps toward trust, forgiveness, and restoration when both partners are willing. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, unsure how to move forward, or trying to decide if the relationship can heal, you do not have to face it alone. My approach is compassionate, practical, trauma-informed, and faith-sensitive when desired. I also support clients facing anxiety, trauma, pornography addiction, and relational stress.

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.

I truly believe that we all have the tools that we need to make change happen but sometimes need some assistance in sharpening those tools.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wishing you could reconnect with the joy you once felt in your relationships and life? Balancing a career, marriage, and family can be deeply challenging, especially with today’s pressures. As someone who’s been married to my best friend for 40 years while raising well-adjusted children, I understand how stressful these roles can be. Many couples find themselves worn down by the lack of support from their partner or children, and the financial and emotional demands of daily life. Together, we can work to ease this strain and help you find direction and fulfillment again.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Yes! If you use United Medical Resources you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have United Medical Resources you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
