Hey, there! Are you happy? Do you have questions that you just can’t seem to answer? Is there a feeling of disconnection or distraction? Do you feel like a spectator in your own life? Are you living your best life? These questions and many more face us all. As a counselor, my passion is helping you and your family answer that ultimate question with a resounding YES! In life we all struggle with our emotional health from time to time and through solution focused and cognitive behavioral counseling I work with you, my client, to resolve these concerns and promote growth. I’m a proud Latina, bicultural, and bilingual (Spanish) counselor who is warm and genuine but also someone who will challenge you to engage in your self-care and self-exploration. Clients often report they feel very comfortable and open with me. My goal is to create a safe space and a working alliance from our very first meeting. I focus on understanding what has affected your life and the resulting emotions. Our focus together is to clear negative thinking and beliefs to shift the way you experience life in a way that works for you. Let's prioritize your mental health. Please reach out and I will promptly get back to you. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Hasta pronto :)

I help individuals manage anxiety, depression and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach; addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the different challenges they face and build coping skills to create more fulfilling and holistic life experiences. From my journey, I can personally attest to the power of support, in its many forms. This support goes beyond clients I service but also to their families and communities. I believe that mental wellness isn’t just individualistic; but includes the ecosystem surrounding the person. My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.  I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation. It is a personal privilege to center wellness and holistic care for all as ‘self-care is a radical form of resistance.’ Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, self-acceptance, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.

I am Jennie Gray Mulligan, a North Carolina native and transplant to Atlanta 8 years ago. I practice psychotherapy as a licensed clinical social worker and enjoy integrating the knowledge learned through a 200 hour yoga teacher training into the work that I do with clients. Meditation and yoga are great supports for therapy work or as a stand alone to increase our capacity to tolerate difficulties, learn the ways our mind can create problems for us and improve our ability to focus our attention. I completed my Master’s in Social Work through the University of North Carolina and clinical training and direct supervision for 6 years through Emory's Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. My work with individuals and families takes a holistic understanding of the ways our brain, body/mind, emotions, and relationships affect our overall wellbeing.  I offer different modalities as a way to work with our whole being to improve overall wellness; including Trauma Focused CBT, Mindfulness Based practices including Guided Breathwork and am furthering my education in Imago Couples Counseling and EMDR. I always will meet the person where they are and explore what works for them. Cultural sensitivity is a hallmark of my practice and I vow to and provide a welcoming space for all humans regardless of race, religion, gender and sexual preferences/orientation. Clients with some(not limited to these) of the following issues may benefit from working with me: anxiety, life transitions, coping with new diagnosis and long term illness, depression, grief and loss, learning differences, ADHD, and childhood trauma. I believe that with adequate therapeutic supports, in the community and at home, that most all individuals have the capacity to live their fullest lives and be the best version of themselves.   I am married to my longterm partner Josh and we reside in Atlanta with our young son and two precious felines. In my spare time you may find me exploring the outdoors, traveling to a new city or teaching yoga to inmates in the county jail.

Hi! I am an energetic, compassionate Mindfulness Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in both GA & SC. I have experience working with individuals in outpatient, inpatient, and virtual mental health and addiction settings. I also have experience working in community mental health in which I served individuals who have persistent and severe mental illness such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Gender Dysphoria, etc. I have more than 14 years of experience in the counseling arena. I've had the opportunity to work with individuals from all walks of life who are aiming to either "make a change" or "be the change". I incorporate a client centered approach, which enables me to build the necessary rapport to make the therapeutic process less intimidating for clients to define and work towards achieving identified goals. My approach is mainly Somatic and Mindfulness, but I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic, Holistic, Psycho-dynamic and Acceptance Therapy. My compassion and empathetic demeanor encourages the client to discuss their deepest emotions and experiences. My self-less attitude allows me to meet the client “where they are”, providing a safe space, free from judgment, while providing respect, transparency, genuineness, warmth and engagement. I believe in the importance of addressing the whole person, mind, body and spirit. I believe that individuals in general are doing the best they can and with the intentional practice of mindfulness, and taking life one moment at a time, we can all learn how to manage stress, while learning and utilizing better coping skills to help with serious illness, anxiety, depression and other mental health and addiction concerns. Always remember, small progress is still progress! I look forward to meeting you and working with you as we tackle this thing called life together!

Over the last 8 years of working as a therapist, I've seen and experiencing everything. From children struggling in the schools, to woman struggling with everyday life problems, I've realized one thing that they have in common-hope. Hope is important when coming to therapy. You are hoping to feel better; you are hoping to come to become a new person. I want us to work on how we treat ourselves allows others to treat us in the same way. My goal as a therapist is to help you help yourself. As a Reality therapist, I focus on your current relationships and conflicts. This type of therapy doesn't really focus on the past unless it is trying to connect some sort of pattern of behavior. As a reality therapist, I see behaviors as choices and learning how to change those behaviors to have a better outcome so that one can FEEL real love for themselves and others! All the reality therapist I know are very honest, direct, and focus on you taking accountability for your actions. I pray for all of my clients for their love, joy, peace, be restored during this process of healing themselves. I am a faith-based therapist who believes GOD and therapy is important and using verses and stories from the Bible provide symbolism and revelation in the areas of anger, anxiety, depression, and more.

I am a young, Afro-Caribbean mom. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I interned with a psychiatrist in high school, graduated from Spelman College with a degree in psychology, obtained my Masters in clinical counseling from Georgia State, and am currently completing my doctorate in Psychology. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available for individuals who typically have not been supported by the mental health field, and I desire to keep challenging and expanding that capacity. I enjoy working side by side with clients to explore areas of possibility, healing, and growth. Then watching the healing and growth manifest.

*** Well hello there! I'm Tammy, and it's so good to meet you! I’m a dedicated, fully-licensed and board certified professional counselor who’s passionate about supporting individuals on their journey to wellness. I use "talk therapies" to provide therapeutic support, guidance, clinical insight / education, and advocacy for those I serve. I’ve contributed nearly 20 years of clinical practice in the mental health field. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia and a masters degree in Rehabilitation Psychology from the University of Wisconsin. A doctoral degree in Counseling is in progress…We’re in the home stretch!! A little about me: I am a native of northeast Georgia. I’m a mother of three (18, 15 – special needs, 9) and four fur-babies (cats): Hermione, Belatrix, Draco, and Percy. Sense a Harry Potter theme here? I’m huge fan of Magic the Gathering, all things Disney, Marvel/MCU, Supernatural, The Boys, and penguins (because I believe them to be the cutest, silliest of all creatures)! I enjoy time with family and friends, spending time at the gym focusing on improving my own strength and endurance, graphic design, walking around aimlessly in bookstores, attending conventions, and spreading positive light as best I can.

Hi there, I'm Xavier Have you ever asked yourself why am I always stressed? Or how about, why do I feel all over the place emotionally? Nobody understands what I am going through, not even my closet family and friends. Does this effect your relationships, work, health, or generally how you feel about yourself as an individual? Well be encouraged! I help everyday people manage their depression, anxiety, loneliness, feelings about themselves, and everyday stressors which occur from just living life. We'll use a holistic approach to addressing the challenges and needs in your life. I like to utilize cognitive behavioral therapy as well as a rational emotive behavior therapy approach help replace negative self-defeating thoughts with positive thoughts and feelings about yourself. I'm here to help. I understand seeking help can evoke feelings of embarrassment or fear but it's okay. You are definitely making a great choice. In our sessions together you can be confident and stress-free knowing you are in a safe space, which will allow you to heal, grow, and learn new things about yourself. I will meet you exactly where you are in life, not where you were in the past, or where your going in the future. One step at a time, one day at a time. Can't wait to work with you!

Welcome and thanks for visiting my profile here at Grow! My name is Tiffany, and I am an original native of Memphis, Tennessee. However, I was raised in Stone Mountain/Lithonia, GA, and began my academic journey in Augusta, GA. In 2012, I completed my undergraduate training at Paine College, where I achieved my Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology with an emphasis in pre-professional studies. Seeking to understand more about human interaction and behavior, I developed an intense passion for mental health which led me to the obtainment of my Master of Science Degree in Applied Psychology with a special concentration in Behavioral Health from the University of Phoenix in 2016. As I grew to learn and understand more about the role and impact of significant relationships and systemic issues on individual mental health, I went on to pursue and obtain my second Master of Science Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Capella University in 2022. My career journey highlights extensive hands-on experience in nearly every realm of the practice of mental/behavioral health to include child & adolescent counseling, family, marriage, and couples counseling, as well as forensic and geriatric psychology, applied behavior analysis, international education coordination services, substance abuse treatment, case management, inpatient psychiatric/crisis intervention, and treatment servicing at-risk youth in secure facilities. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, dancing, eating, and traveling.
