Hi, I’m Felicia, a licensed therapist who’s passionate about helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. I’ve worked with individuals facing everything from anxiety and depression to big life changes and figuring out who they are. Taking the first step toward therapy is a big deal, and I know it can bring up all kinds of emotions—excitement, uncertainty, maybe even a little fear. But deciding to invest in yourself is truly powerful. I believe real growth comes from building meaningful connections, finding purpose, and challenging the thoughts that hold us back. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges, recognize your worth, and tap into the strength you already have. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to help.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Georgia. My experience comes from providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling for teens and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression. I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors. My clinical experience includes working with a diverse population which includes race, youth, families, and adults given my firsthand experience in navigating generational and cultural differences. Representation for minority groups in the broader world of mental health is still very small, and my own professional goals include creating more intersection between my personal knowledge of western cultures and professional experience in providing mental health support. My experience is varied and across settings, as I have provided individual and family therapy in community mental health agencies, school settings and day treatment facilities. I believe that we are all products of our closest relationships, our environment, our family systems, and every moment that leads to the present us. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Structural systems. A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and calibrate treatment and my approach to what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals. Whether you are working towards enlightenment and insight or symptom-relief and improved functions, my hope is that we can collaboratively work together to achieve it! It takes a lot of strength and will power to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you and empower you.

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.

I am a compassionate and dedicated counselor based in Roswell, Georgia, with over six years of experience in both school and private practice settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, helping individuals from ages 6 and above navigate a variety of life challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship difficulties. My approach is grounded in a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, tailored to each client's unique needs, strengths, and goals. In my work, I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and other modalities, creating a flexible and holistic treatment plan. I believe in empowering clients by helping them build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective coping skills. Whether I’m working with children, adolescents, or adults, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to make lasting changes. In school settings, I have worked closely with students to address academic stress, social-emotional issues, and behavioral concerns, collaborating with teachers and parents to foster a positive and supportive learning environment. In my private practice, I provide a space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a confidential setting, allowing for deeper healing and personal growth. My work is deeply rooted in a belief in each individual’s potential for growth and healing, and I am committed to providing the guidance and tools needed to help my clients lead fulfilling, balanced lives.

My counseling services integrate existential theory, CBT/REBT modalities, and DBT skills, with a focus on providing quality care to adults. I primarily work with concerns related to lack of meaning, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. While I emphasize choice and personal responsibility, I also make it a priority to validate each client’s emotional experience. I believe therapy should be about getting better, not just feeling better. To support that growth, I use active, directive, and challenging interventions designed to help clients develop the skills to ultimately help themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicare?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicare you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicare you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

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.
