I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges and transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor’s in Behavioral Science from Mercy College. I have experience working with clients in crisis settings, hospice care, and community-based programs, which has strengthened my understanding of mental health, resilience, and the human capacity for growth. I work with individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, family challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person, creating a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with personal strengths. I believe everyone has the capacity for healing and meaningful change, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater insight, balance, and well-being.

It truly is nice to see you. I am Dr. Tinai James, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the founder of a practice dedicated to the next generation of high-achievers. With over seven years of experience in major healthcare systems, I specialize in supporting youth, teens, and BIPOC college students as they navigate the heavy weight of expectation and major life transitions. My approach is built on the RCB Framework™: Rooted, Culture-First, and Brave. I believe therapy should be a Brave Space where you don’t have to code-switch to be heard. Whether you are a student facing the "identity shift" of campus life or a parent seeking a therapist who understands your family’s cultural background, my goal is to provide clinical expertise that feels relevant to your real life. In our sessions, we combine PhD-level clinical science with practical, goal-oriented strategies. We will work together to tackle anxiety and social pressure while building the cultural confidence you need to thrive. I am currently licensed to see clients in Georgia and 22+ states via PSYPACT, offering high-energy, modern care that honors exactly who you are. Let’s build your brave.

Hi, I’m Shannell, a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging and overwhelming moments. I specialize in working with women, moms, and professionals who are balancing multiple responsibilities and often feel the weight of stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion. I also work with men who are ready to better understand their emotions and develop healthier ways of coping and communicating. My approach is warm, supportive, and person-centered—while also being practical and solution-focused. I create a safe space where you can be open and honest, while also helping you identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. With a background in crisis counseling, acute mental health, and private practice, I understand how heavy life can feel at times—and more importantly, how to help you work through it. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, or struggling with anxiety or depression, you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, supported, and in control of your life, I’d be honored to work with you.

I believe in creating a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend. Therapy with me is collaborative and deeply human — a place where emotions are welcomed, questions are explored, and growth unfolds naturally. I help individuals navigate OCD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and seasons of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we work toward clarity, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to who you truly are. I believe my experience living in 11 countries across South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa has shaped a deep sense of cultural awareness and sensitivity. I bring this perspective into my work with clients from diverse backgrounds, honoring each individual’s values, beliefs, and personal worldview. Therapy with me is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding your unique story.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, veteran, and private practice owner, I am passionate about creating a supportive and affirming space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I work to create an environment where clients can explore their experiences openly while building practical tools to navigate life with greater confidence, balance, and emotional wellness. I work with adults, couples, LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, veterans, and helping professionals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the people I work with are used to carrying heavy responsibilities while silently struggling beneath the surface. They are often navigating people-pleasing behaviors, difficulty setting boundaries, self-doubt, financial stress, communication issues, or the emotional impact of past experiences that continue to affect their present lives and relationships. My work focuses on helping clients strengthen self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, develop healthier coping skills, and build more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. I help clients reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been neglected through survival, stress, or trauma. Through therapy, many clients begin to experience increased confidence, improved communication, healthier boundaries, reduced anxiety, greater emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of peace and empowerment in their daily lives. I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, which is why I strive to meet clients with warmth, empathy, and genuine care. My goal is not only to help clients manage symptoms, but to support meaningful, lasting growth that allows them to move through life feeling more grounded, connected, and emotionally well.

Hello. My name is Howard Patterson, but I go by Andy. I have been a mental health professional for over 45 years, with the majority of my experience being in the field of child welfare. My specialties include but are not limited to, stress, anxiety, depression, marital and other relationship issues, veteran issues, teenage emotions, and behaviors, as well as parenting styles and issues. My style is non-confrontational and non-judgmental, allowing you to take therapy in the direction you choose. My role is to offer wisdom gained from my many years of experience and to perhaps assist you in seeing your issues from a different perspective. Our first meeting will mostly be a "get to know" each other session, discussing where we are from, our family, employment, as well as hobbies, and other enjoyable activities. We will then briefly discuss your reason for seeking therapy, as time allows. While I am not a Biblical scholar, I consider myself to be very spiritual and I will gladly offer my views and thoughts;, with respect to your issues, if you initiate that conversation. I have been a Christian since the age of nine.

We all have life challenges at some point in our lives, whether at a point of transition or loss, but sometimes just desiring greater self-reflection.

I am not your typical therapist as I started my career in finance and have an undergrad in Business. While I could succeed in this path, I did not find meaning in it. I see becoming a therapist as a calling and not a vocation. I first worked in acute mental health as an advocate, then as an addiction counselor, and eventually after receiving my MSW as a dual diagnosis therapist. I have much empathy for the hurting and have always been drawn to those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and the effects of trauma. As such, I have been a mental health advocate, addiction therapist, mental health therapist, trauma therapist, psychiatric director, and behavioral health COO. I feel like I have seen all levels of behavioral health care and use that wealth of experience, resources, and specialized training to help others. I believe that compassion and empathy are keys to change and try my very best to meet you where you are. I also value diversity and have worked with a wide range of the problems that individuals and couples struggle with. Most of all, I am not a respecter of persons and have worked with the homeless to the CEOs of major corporations. I feel that we are all just humans and that we all struggle with similar challenges and problems. I have also worked with a great diversity of people from very diverse cultures and many international clients.

Hello! I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in meeting you where you are—without judgment. I value creating an environment where you can be open, feel safe to explore your experiences, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through-at your own pace. I work with adults and couples, with a focus on women navigating midlife transitions—whether that includes an empty nest, shifting roles, or a desire to redefine what’s next. This stage of life can bring unexpected emotional challenges, but it can also be a powerful opportunity for growth, clarity, and rediscovery. Many of the individuals I work with are experiencing anxiety or depression for the first time and are looking for support as they reconnect with themselves and step into a new chapter. Together, we will work to help you reach your goals, gain insight into your thoughts and patterns, and develop new coping skills to manage life’s challenges with greater confidence and ease.

My journey to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor was shaped by a deep desire to support others through life’s challenges—especially during times when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. Like many people, I’ve experienced how difficult it can be to navigate personal struggles without the right support system, and I’ve always been drawn to helping others find clarity, purpose, and hope during those moments. Over time, I realized that being a counselor would allow me to not only listen and empathize, but to walk alongside people as they identify their goals and uncover their inner strengths. What drives me every day is the opportunity to be part of someone’s growth—to offer a space where they feel truly heard and supported, and to help them discover that change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.

You've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". I will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it, and it allows you to do your work. My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment in my career. Most recently I spent 5 years in Grady’s Psychiatric ER. Allowing me to quickly assess needs and develop a life plan with the client. Couple work is also a skilled area for me. Especially when communication has broken down evidenced by constant arguing. Therapy can break couples out of the destructive tit-for-tat cycle. Broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in. Women’s concerns and issues are important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. Topics include relationships, self development and growth. Another very successful service is my therapeutic walkthrough of popular books. Titles have included RC Blakes’ Queenology and Sophia Nelson’s The Woman Code. Currently, I am authoring The Majestic Woman Mindset, which comes from a woman’s empowerment curriculum I developed. TALK|THERAPY LIVE, is a podcast on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmxgzmGXbnqKKizcNu32WuA of educational videos and live broadcasts addressing behavioral health and relationships. Sometimes with special guests. I have been a helper/healer my entire career and looking forward to this season working with those I can help the most. So whether it’s life just happening, grief, a relationship starting or ending, relationship issues and specifically if there are struggles with depression, anxiety, or a disorder, REACH OUT…Success in life is about making good decisions. Starting therapy is always a great decision!!

I would like to describe myself as a guy who likes to collaborate with clients to reach their goals and help guide them to overcome barriers that are stopping them to achieve them. I currently work at a Crisis Center for the state of Georgia trying to help people repair their lives. I'm also accepting clients in Texas as well. Through out my career as a social worker, I've dealt with at risk youths, inmates, and substance abuse, and homeless population. I've come to realize that a lot of people have one thing in common, they all would like to be treated with respect and allow them to have their autonomy. My great listening and problem solving skills with my clients help them to come to solutions to their own problems. That's what a lot of my clients can expect is a person who ask open-ended questions to help them consider things that they normally haven't and challenge their thoughts or desires versus their actions in life.
