As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am driven by a strong desire to help others navigate the complexities of life and improve their mental health and wellbeing. I have always been interested in the human mind and the ways in which it can be affected by the world around us, and I believe therapy is a powerful tool for addressing these issues.
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’m Erica Bolston, LPC, owner of Journey to Joy & Discovery Counseling. I provide compassionate, child-centered therapy that helps children manage emotions, build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate life challenges. Through a compassionate and individualized approach, Journey to Joy & Discovery Counseling incorporates play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and person-centered care to meet each child where they are. Sessions are designed to help children develop emotional awareness, improve communication, manage difficult emotions, strengthen self-esteem, and build skills they can use both at home and at school.
I’m a licensed professional counselor who provides a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive space for healing and growth. I have a particular passion for working with Black women, supporting them as they navigate stress, identity, relationships, and life transitions within personal, cultural, and systemic contexts.

We all face challenges—some big, some small—that can deeply impact our lives. These struggles can feel overwhelming, draining our mind, body, and spirit. I understand this personally, having walked through my own experiences with depression and anxiety. With the support of God, professionals, and family, I was able to grow stronger through those difficult times. My journey led me from Nursing into the field of Counseling, where I now feel called to help others find hope, healing, and strength in the midst of their own challenges.

Hello! My name is Dr. Lisa Davis, and I am a passionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor based in Atlanta. I bring a well-rounded and integrative perspective to my practice, supported by a robust academic background that includes a PhD in Christian Counseling, an MA in Communications and Training, and an MS in Counseling Psychology.
With over 18 years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including personality disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and respect. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and supported as they explore, heal, and grow.
I specialize in navigating complex relationship dynamics, family conflict, parenting challenges, and the deeply personal journey through grief and loss. My person-centered framework means I meet clients exactly where they are emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically, and walk alongside them as they work toward becoming the best version of themselves.
Counseling is more than a profession for me; it’s my calling. I’m deeply honored to support individuals and families as they move through life’s challenges and rediscover their resilience. If you’re looking for a therapist who will value your story and walk with you in empathy and purpose, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
I'm glad you are here. I am a licensed therapist, with certification in marriage and family therapy. I have over 15 years of clinical, therapy, and leadership experience.
I have provided therapy services to clients in a variety of settings, which allows me to bring a unique perspective to the therapy experience. I have worked with clients struggling with issues ranging from mild daily stress to severe complex mental health and substance abuse challenges in a variety of settings, including behavioral health hospitals, emergency rooms, medical hospitals, and outpatient therapy settings. My background also includes administrative and supervisory roles. I served as the lead therapist and supervisor for over 12 years at the largest behavioral health hospital in Georgia, providing services to clients, as well as supervising other therapists, social workers, and hospital staff.
I provide therapy services to adults and couples. I work with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ challenges, addiction, anger management, social anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, ADHD, pet loss, trauma, and more.
I know how easy it is to become the person everyone depends on while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or emotional pain underneath the surface. Many of the clients I work with are high functioning professionals, caregivers, parents, and leaders who are used to pushing through life while putting their own emotional needs on the back burner. Over time, that emotional weight can start showing up in relationships, work, sleep, mood, self esteem, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself.
My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you no longer feel like you have to hold everything together alone.
I specialize in EMDR therapy and work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in helping you heal and grow.
Together, we will explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences may still be shaping the way you think, feel, react, and connect with others today. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful experiences so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
With over 16 years of experience in mental health and substance use recovery, I am passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and feel more emotionally connected, balanced, and like themselves again.
I provide virtual therapy to clients in Georgia, Florida, and Virginia.
I am Marlena Strong, Licensed Professional Counselor. My approach to therapy is collaborative. I believe there is a shared responsibility in helping you achieve your goals. One size does not fit all and my approach to therapy is tailored to fit your unique needs. I welcome the opportunity to help you gain insight and skills to handle life’s challenges. Change begins when you decide to take a step. Progress takes time, so don’t be hard on yourself. As your therapist, I am on the journey with you.

I rely on the client's expertise in their life experiences as much as they rely on my professional knowledge, compassion and skill sets in therapeutic sessions. I know my clients possess an inner strength and resiliency that promotes the groundwork for therapy.
