Welcome, My name is Ariam Peña, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Virginia. I received my Master’s degree from Argosy University and have been practicing for over a decade. I help adults with the different challenges of life and pressures that often take the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and substance abuse. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Master Addiction Counselor with more than 40 years of experience helping people heal and grow. My work focuses on supporting clients facing mental health challenges, addiction, and trauma, including sexual abuse trauma. I offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

Hi! I am a licensed Psychologist in Georgia. I received a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1981, and a PsyD from the APA Approved Program at Rutgers University in 1986. Since that time I have provided Psychological services for individuals, couples, and families for over 30 years. Services have included psychotherapies as well as psychological assessments.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of CT. I received my MSW from Fordham University and enjoy providing support and assistance to adults struggling with a large variety of mental/emotional struggles. I truly believe that everyone has the power and ability to overcome life's struggles and my job is too help them find it! I also come from a trauma focused perspective and recognize that previous trauma contributes to one's inability to recognize the control they have to improve life circumstances.

I’m a therapist who believes meaningful change comes from a combination of insight, accountability, and consistent action. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by a grounded understanding of adversity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild and move forward. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns—whether related to trauma, stress, relationships, or major life transitions—and are ready to create something more stable and intentional. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as emotional reactivity, impulsive behaviors, or difficulty maintaining consistency in their lives. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on helping you develop the tools needed for real, lasting change. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to support emotional regulation, stronger decision-making, and long-term growth. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating recovery, reentry, and significant life rebuilding, while remaining open to anyone seeking clarity, stability, and a more grounded way of living.

Experiencing challenges, disappointments, stress, life transitions, trauma, heartbreak, confusion; pain without good support can leave us stuck or in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Or if you just need someone as a sounding board for life and decision-making. I have a passion for people not feeling alone, helping clients live their life on their own terms, helping build resilience and an overall desire for clients to feel seen and heard. I utilize person-centered, solution-focused, CBT, TF-CBT, psycho-analytic therapy, attachment theory, and tailor my approach to the betterment of the client. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years experience working with children, families and adults journeying to their established goals. I have a passion for people not feeling alone, challenging unproductive behaviors and thoughts, processing trauma, clients learning how to own their life by living it on their terms, developing resilience and clients feeling seen and heard. My analytical, curious and empathetic nature invites clients towards building lives of emotional stability and a healthy self. As we navigate the joys and pains of being human, I would be honored to join you on your journey.

I have over 35 years of experience working with individuals and families in crisis and providing marriage and couples counseling. Past experiences include working with military families for 10 years with the Department of Defense. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. I encourage healthy communication and feedback from each family member using family systems therapy. I believe the healing process starts with the willingness to change, commitment, and consistency.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Valdosta State University. I was born and raised in Nebraska but have made Georgia my home, and I truly love it here. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, meaningful support. I know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and I want you to know that taking that step says a lot about your strength and your commitment to yourself. My goal is to make sure that from the moment you connect with me, you feel welcome, heard, and comfortable. I am an animal lover through and through, and that love has found a natural home in my clinical practice. I incorporate pet therapy into my work with clients, and I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that a furry friend can have on even the most difficult days. Whether it helps break the ice, ease anxiety, or simply bring a moment of joy into a hard season, it is one of my favorite tools to offer. Outside of my passion for animals, I am deeply committed to doing work that matters. I show up for my clients with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them through the hard stuff, and celebrating the wins along the way — big and small. If you are looking for a therapist who will be real with you, root for you, and work hard alongside you, I would love to connect. I can't wait to meet you.

Greetings, and welcome to the beginning of a new chapter in your life! I am an enthusiastic and motivated therapist dedicated to meeting individuals where they are, while guiding them through their personal journey of growth and healing. My professional experience aligns with empowering clients who experience a sense of loss, anxiety, depression, physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, unexplained fear, and hopelessness.

Life is unpredictable and the experiences we have influence our belief systems, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This is true of both beautiful and traumatic experiences. There are only so many things we have control over within the systems we navigate. My goal is to help you figure out the things you do have control over, heal from the experiences that have negatively affected your life, and support you through the up's and down's of self-exploration.

Hello, I'm Robert. My counseling style has always been focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My motto is that we all have bad situations (death, abuse, divorce, etc.) that can trigger negative thoughts and feelings, and it is important to respond to these situations in a healthy manner or we tend to stay in that negative space longer than we ever intended. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT, rational-emotive counseling, and client-centered therapy. My goal is to walk with you through your healing journey as you take steps towards accepting but not allowing challenging events to define who you are and take control of your life. I realize that it is not easy to admit that you need help, but that is the beginning of change! If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Helping clients to focus on themselves and on their self-care is a precious thing. When they learn to embrace and unconditionally love for being themselves, they become stronger in the face of negativity and more able to hold onto positive thoughts when faced with challenges. Mental illness is as real as any physical illness. We talk normally about cancer and diabetes, although the same should apply to mental illness. Emotional and mental health are just as important as the physical health of a human being. The emotional trauma that a brain endures in various of the human life cycle can be damaging and in the long run, just as detrimental as a psychical illness. People donate their organs, but they cannot donate their brains. Some people live with human-made hearts, but there is no such thing as human-made brains. I believe that our brain is the most important organ in our human body, so why don’t we start taking good care of it? Therapy is not only for people with mental illness. Therapy is for everyone. We all have faced or currently face some hardships in life. Talking to a therapist can help you deeply in improving your mental health, decrease your stress and live with more joy and intention!

My name is Juliet Stephenson, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals find emotional wholeness, clarity, and peace. I believe that therapy is a powerful space for healing—where your experiences are honored, your voice is heard, and your growth is supported with compassion and clinical care. My passion is working with adolescents, adults, and families who have experienced trauma, relationship challenges, stress, and emotional overwhelm. With years of experience in inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment settings, I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered, and spiritually grounded approach to healing.In a world that feels increasingly fast-paced and demanding, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. Therapy can be the place where you choose yourself again. My role is to offer a steady, compassionate presence as you navigate your personal “becoming” journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or struggling in your relationships or parenting, you don’t have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and together we can work toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I understand that every person’s story is unique. Because of that, I draw from evidence-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches to create a therapeutic experience that fits you. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process, grow, and reclaim what matters most. Whenever you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here. Let’s begin.
