Manifesting hope & living life with meaningfulness doesn't have to be journeyed alone! I have over 16 years of experience in individual and family therapy. I have experience with clients from diverse cultures, faith, life transition phases, and career backgrounds. I recognize the importance of meeting clients where they are and have seen success in ensuring that my treatment approach incorporates humility and being inquisitive about set-backs and progress. I incorporate humor when appropriate and may sometimes ask hard-questions when patterns of difficulty arise.
I provide in-person sessions to clients in Georgia with office hours available on Monday, Friday and Saturday.

Hey there, I'm Angel.
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to juggle multiple tasks? Are you struggling to keep up
with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Do you feel misunderstood or
confused about your gender or sexual orientation in a world of conformities? Are you experiencing
minority stressors, micro-aggressions or racism within the workplace, at home or in your community?
Whether you're dealing with vocational stressors, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and
depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary or taboo 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 hiccups and habits holding you back. Let's work
together!
I am a dedicated social worker who has served individuals and families since 2004. My background spans foster care, behavioral health, crisis-prevention programs, medical social work, and long-term care coordination for clients receiving Medicaid services. I’ve also supported families navigating court involvement, custody disputes, parental conflict, and adolescent drug-prevention programs. I work with a steady, compassionate, and practical approach—drawing on CBT, Christian counseling when desired, and years of multidisciplinary experience to help clients create meaningful and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master's in psychology from the University of West Georgia in 2016. I offer compassionate support to explore your struggles in a safe, non-judgmental space. I have practiced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, and trauma-informed care with youth, adults, and families to manage anxiety, depression, and conflict, to understand themselves better, and to work toward peace of mind.
Welcome! My name is Tameka and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home.
It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing.
I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you.
Lastly, picking the right therapist can be scary, I would like to share that I find the therapeutic alliance as a collaboration of communication, honesty, and mutual respect. If you feel I am a good fit for you, I would love to walk alongside you as you explore your inner challenges and develop long-term solutions to those challenges.
I am a driven, client-centered therapist who is passionate about supporting individuals in becoming the best version of themselves. I strive to create a warm, empowering space where clients feel heard, valued, and encouraged to grow. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping each person uncover their strengths, overcome challenges, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.
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.

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.
I have 25 years of experience working with all age groups, couples, family, adolescents, elderly and all races where I utilize CBT as a base and add other modalities as needed. I believe each person is an individual that cannot be put into a 'fits all' box. I believe a commitment with patience over time can lead to significant growth and understanding of oneself. Mindfulness, Carl Jung's Shadow Work as well as Negative Core Beliefs can lead to changes that offer a completely new way of living and thriving. I also have experience with the LGBT+ community. A therapist in my experience adds a level of effectiveness having done therapy ourselves and I have put a lot of time and effort on the other side of the therapeutic relationship. It has allowed me a strong level of empathy and understanding of what clients go through when in therapy. Substance Abuse is an area I also have experience with.
I'm Jason, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, major life transitions, and those deeper questions of meaning, purpose, identity, and direction. My approach is rooted in existential and psychodynamic therapy, which means we won't simply focus on symptoms—we'll explore the experiences, relationships, patterns, and beliefs that have shaped who you are. Together, we'll create a safe, judgment-free space where you can better understand yourself, work through what is holding you back, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

Hi! I'm a LCMHCS, LPCS, LCAS, CCS based in North Carolina and practicing in NC, SC, GA, TX, AZ, MA, ME, RI, NH and US VI. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University and two Masters from Webster University in Counseling and Health Administration. I have been practicing for over 20 years and enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have several areas of expertise and enjoy using them to support my clients in their overall life goals and plans for success.
I am Dr. Javon Williams,
I have served as a mental health provider for seventeen years. I greatly enjoy the process of fostering insight and self awareness as a collaborative process with clients. I have worked with diverse groups, including military/veterans, adult-learners, and minority populations. I have successfully aided clients with managing the discomforts associated with anxiety, mood disorders, grief/loss, and addictive disease. I believe that all people are capable of change. My treatment specialties are Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Reality, and Person Centered Therapy. I am committed to completing continuing education as a lifelong process to facilitate best practices in the therapeutic process.
For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my life to helping people navigate through their 'darkest days.' From their intricate journey of substance abuse recovery to managing long-term mental health needs, my goal has been to provide more than just support. I provide a roadmap back to self. My practice is built on a foundation of evidence-based clinical expertise and a deep, genuine empathy for the human experience. Meeting clients virtually, I remove the barriers to care, allowing us to focus entirely on your goals. I am a firm believer in the power of resilience, and nothing makes me prouder than watching my clients succeed and reclaim the lives they’ve envisioned for themselves.
I am a licensed professional counselor. I’ve been in practice for 45 years. During that time I have been fortunate to work in all areas of the mental health field.
I work with all age groups and over the years have been able to develop a counseling style that meets individual needs.
In terms of approach, the feedback I get from clients is that I can be very matter-of-fact in a good way
Hello! I’m a Licensed Therapist. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I finally connected with my purpose. Therapy truly is my heart job. Even before becoming a therapist, I was the person my friends would call when they needed someone to talk to, someone to listen, or someone to help them work through a difficult situation. I’ve experienced my own trauma and difficult seasons, so I understand that sometimes life can feel heavy, overwhelming, and confusing.
Becoming a teen mom was a turning point in my life. I knew I wanted more for myself and my family, and I wanted to create a different future. I went to college with the goal of healing, growing, and learning how to help others do the same.
Today, I’m passionate about helping people find their purpose, work through the things that have been holding them back, reach their goals, and build healthy and supportive relationships. I want my clients to feel comfortable being their real, authentic selves without fear of judgment.
I believe in **practicing what I preach**. If I’m asking you to try something, challenge yourself, set a boundary, or look at something differently, it’s because I believe in the process and understand that change can be uncomfortable.
Most importantly, I believe **we all have answers within us**. Sometimes life, trauma, fear, or circumstances make it difficult to see them. My role is to help you uncover those answers, recognize your strengths, and find your way forward.
You don't have to have it all figured out. We can figure it out together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for a number of years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders.
In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues.
It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above.

If I could sit beside my younger self and tell her one thing, I would say, “You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. Be gentle with yourself. One day, the healing you are fighting for will become someone else’s hope.”
Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS-LPCC-S (Ohio), LPC (Georgia), NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP, ADHD-CCSP. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement, and for more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult seasons.
My work is deeply personal to me because I understand that healing is more than a clinical process, it’s human. It’s learning to feel safe again. It’s finding your voice. It’s setting boundaries without guilt, giving yourself permission to rest, and learning that you don’t have to keep surviving when you are ready to begin living.
I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying everything on their own.
Together, we gently uncover what hurts, make sense of what you’ve experienced, and begin rebuilding from a place of compassion rather than shame. I integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and holistic, somatic-informed practices to support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
**Here, you don’t have to have it all together.
You don’t have to carry everything alone.
You can finally exhale.**
Healing isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your way back to yourself—the parts of you that life may have taught you to silence, shrink, or leave behind.
You are worthy of healing.
You are worthy of peace.
And you don’t have to walk toward it alone.
I’m a mental health professional with a background in counseling, education, human services, and advocacy. I’ve worked with adults, youth, and families navigating relationships, life transitions, identity, stress, and difficult circumstances. My approach is relational, practical, and individualized. I believe therapy is about understanding the whole person, not just the problem that brought you in, and creating meaningful change that carries beyond the therapy room.
As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, resilience, and purpose. With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and solution-focused strategies, I empower my clients to break free from limiting patterns, develop emotional regulation, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e., 10:00 am), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half-hour (i.e., 10:30 am).
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way? You’re not broken—you’re human, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps individuals navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity loss, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from holding everything together, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from who they used to be. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical. Together, we work to understand unhelpful patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change that fits your real life.
I am a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) clinician and integrate skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients feel more grounded, emotionally steady, and confident in their relationships. I am also a Certified Grief-Informed Professional and provide compassionate care for those navigating loss, life transitions, and the complex emotions that come with change.
Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you feel more balanced, connected, and aligned with the life you want to live. If you’re feeling stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure where to begin, therapy can offer clarity, support, and hope.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to take it alone. I invite you to reach out so we can explore how therapy can support your healing and growth.
I am a highly skilled and compassionate therapist known for delivering deep and transformative results. With a deep understanding of human behavior and a personalized approach.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Marietta/Kennesaw area in Georgia. I have been in private practice working with primarily trauma since 2008. I specialize in treating trauma... things that have happened to you that shouldn't have happened. As a result of trauma, our way of thinking and behaving changes in order to protect us. Unfortunately, those changes are often things we don't like. I love helping clients figure out and resolve the trauma that is at the root of their problems.
