Positive change is achievable when you have a supportive and understanding guide. Life can bring uncertainty, stress, and obstacles that feel overwhelming, and seeking help is often the first step toward clarity and growth. With 25 years of counseling experience, including several years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have helped adolescents and adults navigate challenges, build resilience, and create more fulfilling, balanced lives. In therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and relationship difficulties. Using a mix of evidence-based strategies, active listening, education, and practical skill-building, I help clients identify goals, overcome barriers, and take meaningful steps toward personal growth. I view mental health as deeply connected to every aspect of life, from relationships to work to self-esteem. When challenges arise whether in behavior, emotions, or interpersonal connections I aim to provide a space for reflection, healing, and empowerment. Seeking support can feel intimidating, but it is also a courageous step toward transformation. Every journey begins with a single step, let’s take it together.

Depression
I’m a licensed professional counselor specializing in working with individuals facing grief, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy and existential therapy, which means I help clients explore the deeper emotional patterns and unconscious dynamics that shape their present struggles. I also guide them in confronting core existential questions—around meaning, freedom, isolation, and identity—that often underlie emotional pain. In our work together, I offer a space that is reflective, grounded, and emotionally honest. I believe symptoms are not just problems to eliminate but signals pointing toward deeper truths—unresolved grief, unmet needs, or a disconnection from self and others. Through this process, I support clients in making sense of their experiences, reclaiming personal agency, and moving toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

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.

Hi, I’m Akemi. Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who loves helping people over 30 navigate the messy middle of life- those seasons of transition, anxiety, and self-doubt that can leave you feeling stuck or unsure of your next steps. My passion is helping you sort through those feelings, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity and hope. For clients who want to bring faith into the process, I also provide Christian counseling, blending biblical truth with practical, evidence-based therapy. Whether your faith is the foundation of your life or just one piece of your journey, we’ll incorporate it in a way that feels authentic to you. I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a brain nerd. I enjoy teaching clients what’s happening in their mind and body, why it can feel so hard to break old habits, how subconscious thoughts drive behavior, and practical ways to retrain the nervous system. (Geeky? Yes. Helpful? Absolutely.) My style is warm, encouraging, and goal-focused. I’ll meet you right where you are with compassion, honesty, and this is the "judgement free zone", like Planet Fitness! Outside of the therapy room, I’ve authored two books, 15 Minute Journal Prompts for the Postpartum Mom and Mindful Mandalas for Moms and I’m currently working on my third book. While I don’t specialize in treating bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, or substance use disorders, I’m always happy to refer clients to trusted colleagues who do. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: therapy should feel like a safe, uplifting space where you can be yourself, work through what’s weighing on you, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on that journey. Akemi McGoogan, MSW, LCSW

Before you go any further and read anything else, I want you to give yourself a pat on the back for making it here!

Hello, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. I specialize in supporting adults aged 18-65, as well as seniors, through life transitions, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven method that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, I empower them to develop healthier coping strategies and make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. Together, we’ll navigate your journey toward self-discovery and resilience, enabling you to achieve your best self.

Hi, my name is Janice Barrocas. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in counseling people who are losing good eyesight. I'll never forget the first time a client grappling with declining vision said she loved working with someone who "really gets me." She went on to describe how many therapists she'd tried over the years who did not understand the medical aspects and psychological issues present with an acquired disability. This is why I became a therapist. People who feel see, heard, and understood are are better able to adjust to vision loss, including career changes and tension in personal relationships. Would you benefit from a safe space to process the physical and social trauma related to losing independence and dealing with uncertainty about the future? Let's talk. I can't wait to hear from you!
