I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working collaboratively with clients. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from Rutgers University. With over 5 years of experience in the field of social work, I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, adjusting to diagnosed health conditions, grief, depression, navigating life challenges, and additional mental health barriers.

I am personally interested in your healing, restoration, and growth, and I am passionate about the stories that are yet to be told. I enjoy helping both young and old people who are struggling with their identity, anxiety, and depression. My approach is firmly grounded in their inner strength and resilience of hope, empowering them to rise like eagles above the flood that threatens to overwhelm them.

I’m a therapist specializing in trauma, grief, medical trauma, and the effects of psychological abuse.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel safe in your body, process what you’ve been through, and reconnect with yourself.

I wholeheartedly believe the therapeutic process is a necessary step in personal development.

My name is Tamisha Rogers and I am a License Professional Counselor, Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, Certified Clinical Supervisor for Addiction, and Certified Anger Management Facilitator. I have over 20 years of professional experience working with individuals, families, couples, adolescents, and children in inpatient and outpatient settings. In addition to, I have gained experience in dual disorders, from multiple evidence-based trainings, trauma focused therapies, and certifications in the mental health, substance abuse, and criminal justice system. My passion has always been to help individuals become the best version of themselves regardless of where they have been or their experiences. I treat from the whole health perspective and provide a safe environment for individuals to show up how they need to no matter what it looks like.

Beginning or continuing your mental health journey takes courage, and I’m here to meet you where you are.

Hi. I am a LPC in Georgia and a LCMHC in North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I received my master's degree from VCU in 2015, became licensed in 2020, and have been practicing on my own ever since. I live by two mottos "It takes a village" and "take time for you". It is important to “take time for yourself,” because we need time to recharge, so that we can continue to persevere. However, there comes a time in everyone’s life where the support of the village is needed. That’s why I believe it "takes a village” and working together as a team is important. Whether it is a clinician and client duo, or a team of medical professionals, we can achieve reasonable and practical goals.

Great to meet you! I’m an LCSW providing virtual therapy throughout Georgia. My goal is to offer a convenient and safe space where you can prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by past experiences or future worries, I’m here to support you. I also specialize in addiciton treatment and working with clients to learn to find healthy ways to find stability and support.

I know taking that first step to enter into therapy can often be difficult. I am here to empower you and give you the tools and skills needed to improve your quality of life as well as provide you with a safe, empathetic place to do so. I work with a very wide array of diagnoses including Borderline Personality Disorder, substance use disorders, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I have been practicing for 10 years and specialize in trauma informed care, mood disorders, and crisis intervention. I am a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist and will use those skills to help you live a life of fulfillment. I will work with you throughout the entire process.

I am a warm, compassionate, and direct therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-understanding. My work focuses on supporting individuals who are neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, as well as those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or family difficulties. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice, which allows me to connect with clients in an authentic and deeply empathetic way. With a specialized master’s degree in neurodiversity and a Phd in Professional Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family Systems, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through an attachment-focused lens. My clients often describe me as someone who listens with empathy but also provides honest, insightful feedback that inspires real growth. I strive to create a space that feels both safe and empowering—where you can explore your experiences without judgment and gain tools that make a meaningful difference in your daily life. I often incorporate workbooks, journaling, and mindfulness practices to support progress between sessions, tailoring each plan to fit your comfort and goals. Above all, I see therapy as a partnership built on trust, respect, and curiosity. My goal is to walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths, heal from past wounds, and move toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life. PLEASE NOTE, I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE FOR COUPLES.

Welcome! My name is Tameka and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home. It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing. I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you. Lastly, picking the right therapist can be scary, I would like to share that I find the therapeutic alliance as a collaboration of communication, honesty, and mutual respect. If you feel I am a good fit for you, I would love to walk alongside you as you explore your inner challenges and develop long-term solutions to those challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in practice for over 15 years, I have worked with clients that have extensive levels of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, social and interpersonal relationship challenges not to exclude family discord. I have been adaptable to working in many different settings. I believe the approach of meeting my client where they are is a grounding principle for my therapeutic style. Although not always in person, the distance will never be seen as a distraction. I obtained my master’s degree from Florida State University, but faced many challenges with that. Some struggles in life peak during adolescence and I was no stranger to that. Transitions were not my friend, I had to overcome many relational, financial, and educational difficulties that grew me to understanding personal struggles. I believe in a client-centered approach as all clients are the experts on what works best for them and the challenges that they continue to face. I strive to provide an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting of where you are in your process while helping you get to where you want to be. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a modality that assist in how trauma is seen and processed. I have worked the better part of my career assisting in trauma processing, clients have been sexually abused, physically abused, or have suffered from significant loss. I believe counseling is a journey towards healing. If you are willing to allow me on this journey with you to master any conflict in your life, I am ready when you are!

I help individuals who feel stuck in deep-rooted anxiety, depression, or trauma find lasting relief through an integrative body-centered approach by combining the rapid neuroplasticity of Ketamine assisted therapy with specialized trauma tools like EMDR and brainspotting. I create a safe healing container that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I provide a caring, compassionate, and collaborative approach. The synergy between EMDR, brainspotting, and KAP accelerates healing, moving beyond talk therapy to access deep-seated somatic memories and subconscious habits, and is aimed at rapid, lasting transformation. Trauma manifests in several ways. Re-experiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal, performance anxiety, emotional numbness hinder total wellness and relationship quality. My passion is working with adults who are ready to work and heal. Relief from your symptoms will result in improved interpersonal relationships, work performance, and overall happiness

Hello! I’m Crystal Porter, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with many years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My passion lies in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma related dysregulation, I provide a safe and compassionate space for healing and growth. My goal is to meet you where you are and to walk with you towards finding the hope, healing, and restoration you seek.

You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. As a woman, mother, wife, and veteran I know all too well the shame that comes with our personal choices and behaviors. I also know there is also a fear of JUDGEMENT when it comes to considering therapy. This is a no-judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

Recognizing the need for help is an important first step. In fact, rather than acknowledging a weakness, it is a sign of strength. I want to help you to build on that strength to achieve success in the areas you are struggling with. Specializing in relationship dynamics, I invite individuals, couples, and families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and build skills to manage anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and more. Christian counseling, men's issues, and family roles are additional areas of special focus I provide. I believe in personal responsibility, the reality of options at your disposal, and your ability to make decisions that are good for you with clarity. Ownership results in liberty. I would be working with you to help things make more sense and see a path forward.

Do you feel you are everywhere and nowhere simultaneously? Are you struggling to figure out how to find balance or real happiness? Do you want to change your life but just don't know how? Hi, I am Crystal and I am here to help! But HOW can I help, you may be thinking? Well, I can provide you with a safe and non judgemental space in which you can re-focus on what is truly important to you by walking along side of you on your therapeutic journey of self-awareness. Together we will develop a treatment plan that will help us reach your desired outcomes. I have found that incorporating the arts into therapy is quite beneficial since sometimes words can not capture our emotions as intensely or as accurately as a song or piece of art can. I also love to use mindfulness and bibliotherapy with clients and have been amazed at the success of using all of these approaches. You have taken the first step towards your new life already by researching which led you here. Won't you take that next step and connect today so that we can begin your journey? Change is hard, but I will be here to support you every step of the way!
