I specialize in strength-based, mindfulness, and narrative approaches to support clients in building resilience, healing from past experiences, and creating meaningful change.

I also work with older adults facing aging-related concerns and young adults exploring identity, purpose, and career paths. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, collaborative, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered in your journey.

Are you tired of life? My practice is for those unable to experience joy and move forward in daily life due to changes or traumatic events. There is a way out of the darkness and a path to peace. Together we can find it. Using EMDR and other therapies, I will walk with you as we sift the past and find a life of rest and resolve.

Hey!! My name is Sharita, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ( LMFT) Based in Georgia. I received my master's from Mercer University and have been in the field for 8 years. I help young adults, and families navigate through daily stressors, anxiety, and mild depression. I specialize in working with POC. I am also a sex-positive and LGBTQ-friendly therapist who helps individuals and couples navigate challenges related to sexual/ gender identity, ethical non-monogamy, etc.

For the past 12 years, I have been practicing depth psychotherapy that values the therapeutic relationship. I came to this field in midlife, guided by a deep desire to follow what I have always loved - psychology and psychotherapy. I earned my Master’s degree in a holistic psychology program at the University of West Georgia and pursued additional training in depth psychotherapy with the American Academy of Psychotherapists. My work is grounded in Humanistic psychology and centers on the transformative power of the relationship between therapist and client. I focus on growth rather than pathology, and on understanding the whole person rather than a focus on some aspect of their experience. I am also committed to ongoing self-reflection and personal work. This helps me remain aware of my own dynamics and any barriers that could interfere with being fully present with clients and understanding my clients' life experiences. I approach each person with curiosity rather than judgment, holding a deep trust in every individual’s innate capacity for healing and growth when given the right support, insight, and meaningful therapeutic relationship.

Greetings! I’m Letitia, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia, and also licensed to provide therapy in Colorado and Florida. I’m passionate about helping clients discover their purpose, break through barriers that hold them back, and begin living the life they’ve always imagined. Before becoming a counselor, I spent 12 years as an educator, which gave me a deep understanding of the academic, social, and emotional challenges that young people face. Today, I work with clients ages 10 through 35, supporting them through the pivotal transitions of adolescence, young adulthood, and early professional life. I understand how it feels to struggle with fear, depression, anxiety, low confidence, or a lack of purpose — because I’ve been there myself.

Together, we’ll create a path toward a more confident, fulfilled, and purpose-driven life.

Hello, I'm Zelda. I am so thrilled that you came across my page. I do not believe that it was a coincidence. I have been in the education and counseling field for 30+ years as an elementary school teacher, middle school counselor, and contractor for various mental health agencies. Within my career path, it has equipped me with an understanding of the vitalness of genuineness and creating a "safe place." People are hurting and empty inside and it is going to take more than "coaching" but truly equipping individuals with "tried and true" evidence-based practices to help a person maintain living above their situation. I truly believe with my combination of experience in both areas that I bring a wealth of skills that provide evidence-based treatments which result in positive clinical outcomes. I look forward to experiencing this journey with you.

I am a licensed clinical therapist and life coach with extensive experience helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My work is focused on supporting people who are high-functioning yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or uncertain about their next steps. Many of the clients I work with are successful on the outside but internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, burnout, or difficulty following through on the changes they know they need to make. I bring a results-oriented, structured, and insight-driven approach to my work. As a clinician, I am trained to assess emotional patterns, behavioral responses, and underlying drivers that keep people stuck. As a life coach, I help clients move forward with clarity, accountability, and intention. This dual lens allows me to meet clients where they are emotionally while also helping them create practical, forward-moving change in their daily lives. Clients often seek me out for my ability to quickly identify core issues, provide direct and thoughtful feedback, and help them gain perspective without judgment. I am known for balancing compassion with honesty and for helping clients feel both supported and challenged in ways that lead to real progress. My style is collaborative, grounded, and focused on building sustainable tools rather than temporary relief. I work with individuals who are ready to be intentional about their growth and committed to showing up for the process. Whether clients are navigating personal transitions, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, or a desire for greater fulfillment and direction, my goal is to help them feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating the life they want to live.

Together, we will explore what is keeping you stuck while building practical skills that help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and intention. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I create a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable while also feeling supported enough to grow. I believe therapy should be compassionate, practical, and empowering. You can expect me to listen with empathy while gently challenging the beliefs and behaviors that may no longer be serving you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, trauma, anxiety, substance use, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to face it alone. My goal is to help you not only feel better but also build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and meaningful. Together, we will focus on helping you move beyond survival and toward lasting recovery and healing.

I am a LCSW with many years of experience working as a Chaplain and a Social Worker. I want to help you be empowered to be the person you want to be. I am also part of the LGBTQ plus community and bring my own person experiences to help navigate the complexities of life. I would forward to being present with you on your life's journey.
