Life today moves fast, and it’s easy to feel like you can’t quite keep up. If the strategies that once helped you aren’t working anymore or if you simply don’t know where to begin, you don’t have to face it alone. Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is an important part of that process. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to explore your challenges and work toward the goals that matter most to you.

I am here to help you remember who you are and build the capacity to hold life’s waves and find ways to root back into yourself no matter what is happening around you.
My approach is person centered and creative.

Whether you are moving through grief, caregiving fatigue, anxiety, trauma, or simply the disorienting transitions of being human, I will meet you with compassion and honesty.
I know the terrain of loss, overwhelm, and starting again. My own story has taught me that healing is never linear but it is always possible.

Teenage years are stressful on the teen and the family. Is your teen having a hard time making healthy choices? Are they angry for no apparent reason? Is your teen a bully or are they being bullied? Parenting a teenager is difficult. I also specialize in counseling teens that identify as LGBTQ+.
It can get better, with the right help. I’ve been working with teens for many years and I know how tough it can be on the teen and the parent. Imagine your teen being able to communicate their thoughts/feelings without anger or resentment. I can help you build trust with your teen and communicate without arguing in family counseling.

I help high-achieving women move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling calm, confident, and in control of their lives. Many of my clients are navigating divorce, breakups, or major life transitions and are ready to rebuild, not stay in confusion or dysfunction. They’ve already made the decision to leave unhealthy relationships and are now focused on healing, identity, peace, and purpose.
You’re looking for more than just a space to talk. You want practical tools, emotional support, and a results-driven approach. In therapy, we create strategies to help you manage mild anxiety, stress, overwhelm, burnout, and adjustment-related challenges, while building self-trust, boundaries, and emotional independence.
I understand these transitions on a personal level. I’ve walked through divorce, burnout, and seasons of carrying it all alone. Because of that, I offer a grounded, relatable approach where you can be vulnerable and honest while still being challenged to grow. If you’re ready to step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence, I’d be honored to support you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides boutique-style therapy for professional women who are ready for real change. I work well with high-functioning women who may appear strong and capable on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.
My approach is supportive, honest, structured, and intentional. Therapy with me is not passive venting only. I help clients identify what is keeping them stuck, strengthen emotional awareness, improve boundaries, reduce overthinking, and create practical shifts that support lasting growth.
Clients often come to me when they are ready to stop simply coping and begin moving with more clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and purpose. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches and guided by compassion, accountability, collaboration, and respect.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker originally from Orlando, Florida, now proudly serving clients in Georgia and Florida. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Central Florida.
I integrate evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, Motivational Interviewing techniques, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care.

For nearly a decade, I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles, helping them feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives.

My approach is warm, practical, and individualized. I recognize that mental health does not exist separately from culture, identity, family, spirituality, relationships, or daily responsibilities. I strive to understand the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms.
In therapy, I help clients slow down, make meaningful connections, and develop tools they can use in everyday life. I believe clients already possess valuable strengths and insight, even when stress or painful experiences make those qualities difficult to recognize.

Hi, I’m Jacqueline Gordon, a perinatal mental health therapist and the owner of Open Book Counseling. I specialize in supporting mothers and birthing parents who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity shifts, and the emotional weight that can come with pregnancy and postpartum. I also work with individuals processing complex trauma, particularly those who have spent much of their lives being “the strong one.”
My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I create a space where you can show up fully as you are, while also gently challenging you to grow beyond survival mode. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned in your life and relationships.

Hello! Welcome to my website. I want to first and foremost give you a warm welcome for being here, and I want to invite you to learn more about me. My name is Diana Lleras, my pronouns are she/her, and I have been practicing psychotherapy since December 2014. I have a master's of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I also hold an Evergreen certificate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I am currently working toward certification in Attention Deficit Disorder, Grief Counseling, Holistic Practices, Telemental Health, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting. I help people heal from past traumas and core childhood wounds, and we can also explore coping mechanisms you may want to change to better manage past trauma. I like to work collaboratively in the counseling setting where we decide together how I can best support you in your healing journey. I'm trained in protocols and structured treatments if you prefer structure, and I can also meet you where you are if you prefer a more flexible approach. In my work as a counselor, it is very important to me to respect you and your autonomy as a person. My counseling office is a judgment-free zone, and everyone and their parts are welcome regardless of race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identity, immigration status, and political ideology. Soy bilingüe en inglés y español.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
