I’m a cisgender male (he/him) therapist with feminist values, ADHD, motor tics, and a house full of cats. Some might even say too many, but I absolutely disagree! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Tucker, Georgia. I received my bachelor’s from Emory and my master’s from Mercer. I’ve been working as a therapist for six years, supporting clients of all ages. Lately, I’ve focused on working with adults—especially young adults—as they navigate their journey through life’s complexities. I work with people facing many of life’s challenges—such as ADHD, anxiety, major life transitions, and relationship struggles—offering a relaxed, collaborative, and person-centered approach. My goal is to create a space where trust and comfort come first, where you can show up fully and without pressure to have it all figured out. You set the pace and direction; I’m here to walk alongside you.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is supportive, practical and grounded in evidenced-based practices and skills. I want to help you understand your thoughts, build coping skills and create meaningful change. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected and empowered to work toward the life you want.

Hello, I have been a therapist for about 14 years and have enjoyed working in a variety of settings, including a residential treatment settings for substance use disorders, an outpatient program for substance use and mental health co-occurring disorders, and also in private practice to address general concerns that may arise. I have also worked as a community provider, focusing on concerns related to parenting, family conflicts, separations, and domestic violence.

I’m Dr. Lolade Bakrin, a Licensed Professional Counselor and counselor educator who is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves. My therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also incorporating person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices. I work with teens, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, and everyday stress. I believe therapy should be collaborative and practical. Together, we’ll explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences, and develop strategies you can use beyond the therapy room. I also recognize that everyone’s experiences are shaped by their unique identities, relationships, environments, and life experiences, so I tailor treatment to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and challenged in ways that encourage greater self-awareness, confidence, and lasting growth.

Do you sometimes feel sad or hopeless but can't seem to 'break out of it'? Is self-doubt or low self-esteem keeping you from setting and achieving your goals? Are your relationships suffering but you can't put your finger on it? Most of us have been there. I create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to express, explore and process their fears, doubts, negative thoughts and experiences. Healing and recovery is not a linear process. It is not scripted. It requires some work on your part and I am here to support you along the way. I specialize in treating trauma. Whether its childhood trauma, relationship trauma or a recent occurrence, it still has an impact on your life. I'm here to support you with your recovery. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues. I am excited for you to break free from the chains that are holding you back from being your best self!

I’m Susanne Sanders, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings including community mental health, corrections, private practice and schools with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I am… passionate about providing a safe space for individuals and families to find their innate potential and achieve their dreams, regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion, neurotype or love-style. I feel called to help people find internal and external peace by living and loving more authentically. I believe… everyone is unique and has the potential to create the life of their dreams. I believe everyone is capable of love for their self and others. Everyone deserves empathy and support free of judgment. I believe diversity is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated. My experience… includes 12 years as a counselor, 43 years as a fat person, 31 years with chronic pain, 26 years practicing BDSM, 16 years loving polyamorously, and 13 years of gender exploration. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kennesaw State University and my Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Argosy University (Atlanta). I received my LPC license in 2018 and my CPCS in 2020. I work primarily with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy utilizing Polyvagal Theory, increasing my clients’ psychological flexibility - contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being and changing or persisting in behavior based on chosen values. I also incorporate Family Systems Theory and Attachment Theory in both individual and relationship therapy. Our family experience greatly influences the way we relate with people in the present day. Understanding our most influential relationships can bring understanding and love for our self. In my work with relational trauma I love to incorporate Internal Family Systems and somatic exercises to heal the parts of us who were hurt or were created to protect us from harm.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, caregiver stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, workplace stress, and adjustment to significant life changes. I have a special passion for supporting women, caregivers, helping professionals, and individuals who spend so much time caring for others that they often neglect their own emotional well-being. I also work with individuals seeking greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and personal growth. Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, thoughtful, and easy to talk with.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, grieving a loss, managing stress, or simply looking for support during a period of transition, you do not have to face it alone. I am committed to helping you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.

I believe the best therapy happens through honest conversation and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while helping you build practical skills that create meaningful change. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I value authenticity and often keep an informal tone when it helps clients feel more at ease. Rather than telling you what to do, I work alongside you to better understand what's keeping you stuck and help you discover solutions that fit your life, values, and goals. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and psychoeducation. I believe that understanding why our minds and bodies respond the way they do can make change feel less overwhelming and more achievable.

I work collaboratively with clients to explore the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and patterns influencing their emotional well-being. My approach is warm, practical, and individualized. I recognize that mental health does not exist separately from culture, identity, family, spirituality, relationships, or daily responsibilities. I strive to understand the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms. In therapy, I help clients slow down, make meaningful connections, and develop tools they can use in everyday life. I believe clients already possess valuable strengths and insight, even when stress or painful experiences make those qualities difficult to recognize.

I have been working as a social worker since 2010, and I have been in private practice since 2020.

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of trauma. I have experience working with adults who are survivors of complex trauma and suffer from depression, anxiety, and addiction. My approach is strength-based and client-centered with modalities from Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe most people stagnate in change because they are afraid and don’t know what to do. Many clients have told me they “feel like they are going crazy.” I am here to tell you that you are not crazy. Your mind and body are reacting to a traumatic event, and many things you do to cope with that event are to help you deal with the trauma, “normal responses to an abnormal situation.” My approach is simple: break down the problem into parts and gradually work on “unpeeling the layers.” This process is not easy and is often painful. However, it will be worth it because you will experience a freedom you never knew was possible. I want you to learn to thrive and live a full life instead of just surviving daily. I graduated from Berry College with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2003 and Kennesaw State University with my Master’s in Social Work in 2014. I have 22 years of mental health experience in inpatient and outpatient settings.

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.

I'm so excited that you're considering therapy and I'm confident that I can help.

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, life transitions, and stress. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step. Together, we identify patterns that keep you from living the life you want and develop practical strategies for lasting change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented, helping you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and emotional well-being.
