Therapists in Georgia

Hello! I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and community-based treatment. I graduated from Southern University at New Orleans with both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work. As a wife and mother, I understand the complexities of life and am passionate about working with clients who have a genuine desire to change their lives for the better. I believe every client is the expert on themselves, and together, we can enhance their ability to function across different areas of life and achieve their treatment goals while prioritizing their safety and respect.

About Me I am a doctoral-level licensed professional counselor with over 16 years of experience in providing high-quality mental health care. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I tailor treatment to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we will identify the obstacles that are holding you back and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

For 11 years, I’ve helped people stop living on autopilot and start living with intention. I specialize in anxiety, stress, and Christian counseling, guiding clients who are ready to confront the patterns that keep sabotaging their peace. My work goes beneath the surface into the subconscious beliefs and habits that quietly shape your life so you can finally bring them into the light, break them, and rebuild from a place of clarity and strength. I don't want you to just cope. I help you design the version of yourself you were always meant to become.

Hello, I'm Zelda. I am so thrilled that you came across my page. I do not believe that it was a coincidence. I have been in the education and counseling field for 30+ years as an elementary school teacher, middle school counselor, and contractor for various mental health agencies. Within my career path, it has equipped me with an understanding of the vitalness of genuineness and creating a "safe place." People are hurting and empty inside and it is going to take more than "coaching" but truly equipping individuals with "tried and true" evidence-based practices to help a person maintain living above their situation. I truly believe with my combination of experience in both areas that I bring a wealth of skills that provide evidence-based treatments which result in positive clinical outcomes. I look forward to experiencing this journey with you.

During sessions, children are welcome to play with toys, and adults may enjoy a cup of coffee. My goal is to help you feel welcomed, supported, and comfortable while sharing. Together, we’ll work to identify & understand complicated emotions that may have been suppressed and develop healthy ways to cope. Seeking help is a big step, and I’m here to make that process easier. No matter where you are in life, I’m here to support you through it. Please contact me and I will assist with scheduling. Please call or message with any questions or scheduling concerns at Endless Grace Counseling.

Hello! My name is Leticia Graham. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Southeast Georgia. I received my Bachelor of Science in Health with an emphasis on Substance Abuse in 1995 from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. I later decided to return to the University of North Florida and received my Master of Science in Health with an emphasis on Health Education/Health Promotion and my Master of Public Health. I worked as a substance abuse counselor for 15 years with both adolescents and adults in Jacksonville, Florida. Many of these clients were dual diagnosed clients (also suffering from mental health issues). In November 2013, I was laid off due to the grant I worked under ending and not being renewed. During this time, I have found that I would like to continue working in the counseling field on a part-time basis while my daughter is in school. It was at this time that I decided to pursue my Master of Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. Christ led me to this career.

Life can feel heavy sometimes—and trying to hold it all together gets exhausting. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone. I help adults work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges in a way that feels real, supportive, and actually helpful. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all—we focus on what you need and what works in your day-to-day life. No pressure, no judgment—just a space to process, gain clarity, and move forward. My goal is simple: help you feel more like yourself again, but stronger, more confident, and in control.

Are you in a season of life where you no longer feel like yourself? Navigating midlife changes, shifting family roles, relationship concerns, career stress, burnout, or questions about identity and purpose can make it difficult to know where to turn for support. Many women find themselves caring for everyone else while feeling disconnected from their own needs, goals, and sense of self.

I also enjoy working with couples who want to strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, navigate conflict more effectively, and build healthier relationship patterns.

I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore, gain insight, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

f . Hello, I'm Brenda Ned, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life challenges. My experience spans working with clients dealing with stress, anger management, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, and social anxiety. I believe that with the right support and willingness to work towards goals, anyone can change their circumstances and improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is rooted in several methodologies, including Rogerian, person-centered, existential, and CBT. The person-centered approach is fundamental in my practice, as it allows me to focus on your unique needs and facilitate meaningful progress through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. I practice active listening, ensuring you feel heard and understood by rephrasing your statements and asking pertinent questions. In our sessions, I strive to be a role model through congruence, demonstrating authenticity and consistency. My commitment to unconditional positive regard means I accept you without interrupting and avoid giving unsolicited advice. I also incorporate existential-humanistic therapy, which is hopeful, constructive, and centered on the present moment, helping you build a positive and forward-looking mindset. Cognitive- behavioral therapy is another cornerstone of my practice. CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By changing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can improve your mental health. By changing your thought patterns, you can gain a clearer perception of your situation and identify what you can control. I genuinely care about my clients and am dedicated to helping them achieve a better quality of life. We will establish your goals and work toward them in a supportive and collaborative environment. If you're ready to take the next step towards a better future, I'm here to support you on your journey. Let's work together to create the change you seek.

Hello! Sometimes making the decision to attend therapy is the most difficult decision. However, that doesn't mean that therapy will always be easy. When therapy is difficult, you often grow through those difficult experiences. Others would describe me as a "down to earth" type person and able to remain calm in stressful situations. I meet my clients where they are in life and help them stabilize their current situation before diving into other issues. No one is perfect, we all need help sometimes.

My practice assists Black clients across North America who are impacted by a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, and depression through a racially-sensitive treatment approach. We also work with individual clients seeking to improve their self-concept by understanding and processing the impact of historical and generational racial trauma on their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends, and their partners. I am a therapist who strives to fully understand my clients and their needs to create an optimized approach to meet their goals. I specialize in working primarily with individual adult clients to help them deal with issues such as infidelity, communication, stress management, anger management, relationship building, sexuality, etc. At Yolo Therapy, our ultimate goal is the well-being of our clients. For various reasons, many clients are unable to access traditional therapy settings but I do not believe that should prevent them from receiving exceptional services. I have catered my practice to the needs of those who need alternative options to therapy and am here to help you. ****Please note: Your initial session is ONLY TO ASSESS FOR THERAPEUTIC COMPATIBILITY. ****

I'm Robyn Richardson, and my passion for this work runs deep. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families through some of their toughest moments. My heart is especially with those healing from trauma—whether you're a survivor of abuse, navigating recovery, or working to break cycles of generational pain. I understand that, for many of my clients, privacy, discernment, and a truly bespoke experience are non-negotiable. My practice is intentionally designed to provide a discreet, elevated environment where you can be authentically yourself, away from outside pressures and expectations. I know that asking for help can feel vulnerable, especially if you've been let down before or spent years learning to manage on your own. But you deserve a space where you can finally exhale.

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.

Hi, I am Erma Croom, a trauma informed, compassionate therapist, and spiritual companion for individuals who have spent years holding others. With decades of experience in pastoral leadership, chaplaincy and clinical counseling, I bring a rare blind of psychological insight, spiritual depth, and lived wisdom to my work. My practice centers on supporting spiritually grounded women, seasoned clergy, chaplains, faith leaders and other care providers who are ready to be held without losing your depth, independence, or sense of calling. I offer a grounded, compassionate authority--one that creates safety, invites pause, and honors the sacredness of each person's story.
