You keep showing up fully in relationships, but rarely feel met in the same way. On the outside, you’re capable and composed. On the inside, you may feel anxious, unfulfilled, or quietly questioning yourself. You might overgive, take on emotional labor, or fall into familiar roles that no longer feel aligned.
These experiences are often connected to anxiety, attachment patterns, or past relational wounds — and they can change.
I’m Fatima, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Georgia. I work with high-functioning women who want to understand the emotional dynamics shaping their relationships and reconnect with a grounded, confident sense of self. Our work focuses on increasing clarity, strengthening boundaries, and supporting intentional choices that reflect your values.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times.
I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within.
As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

With over 12 years of experience in crisis services, I bring a calm, grounded, and compassionate presence to my private practice. I am deeply committed to working with individuals who are choosing therapy as an intentional step towards healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
I believe mental wellness—like physical health—exists on a continuum and looks different for every person. Life’s challenges can create emotional peaks and valleys, and therapy offers a supportive space to develop the insight, skills, and resilience needed to navigate them more effectively. My role is to partner with you in the therapeutic process, helping you strengthen self-regulation, build emotional awareness, and reduce the likelihood of future crises.
My clinical approach is collaborative and tailored to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, integrating mindfulness-based practices to support self-reflection, emotional balance, and long-term fulfillment. Together, we work to identify patterns, build practical coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful, sustainable change.
In addition to individual therapy, I am committed to education, training, and family support as tools to reduce stigma and increase access to mental health care. Seeking support is a strength, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Hello, I am Dr. Clark.
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Have you experienced significant traumatic experiences both in childhood and adulthood whose residuals continue to haunt you? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, chronic nightmares, memory loss, medical or health issues, or feel stuck in a rut? Have you had a near-death experience and need to talk about it?
I may be able to help you figure things out and perhaps, help you find meaning and purpose in your life. Many situations happen in life that can cause you to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, coping skills, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need to process relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

I’m Triana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, while also being intentional about helping clients understand the deeper patterns influencing their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, life transitions, and the challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. As an MFT, I look beyond the individual and consider the relationships, family dynamics, experiences, and environments that have helped shape who you are today. My goal is to create a space where you can be your authentic self, make sense of your story, and develop healthier ways of moving forward.

I am Dr. Kawakami and I have been in the mental health and addiction field for over 20 years. I am a practicing Licensed Professional Counselor, a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, an author, an empowering media personality, and a proud veteran of the United States Army.
You may have seen me as "The Mind Doctor®" on hit TV shows such as Bravo’s Married To Medicine, VH1’s Love and Hip Hop, WEtv's Bold & Bougie, WEtv’s Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta working with rapper, producer, actor, and superstar Bow Wow, and WEtv’s Brat Loves Judy with rapper, producer, actress, and Funkdafied super star, DaBrat!
While I have been viewed by millions of people on television, my humble beginnings actually started on television as a six-month-old baby being placed for adoption and featured on the “Thursday’s Child of The Week” segment.
After being adopted in Los Angeles, California, I grew up in a multi-cultural family from East Side San Jose, California. Prior to earning my Ph.D. in Psychology via an academic institution, I had already earned my Ph.D. in "Hustling" via the streets of the Bay Area in the dope game. I acknowledge a divine intervention and acknowledge, “Only God could have me go from selling dope and destroying lives to offering hope and restoring lives. Look at Gawwwwd!”

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
