My journey into counseling began after witnessing how military service affected the emotional well-being and relationships of someone close to me. Approaching those changes with compassion and curiosity led me to study human behavior, and since then I have had the privilege of supporting domestic violence survivors, individuals involved in the court system, outpatient community mental health clients, residents in substance use and personality disorder treatment programs, and military personnel during my own time in service. Today, I continue to build on that experience through specialized training in relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a supportive space where adults can heal, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want.

Hi, I'm Dr. Tashayla Williams! I believe counseling is about more than working through life's challenges—it's about discovering who you are, embracing your potential, and intentionally creating the life you want to live. My approach is warm and collaborative, blending compassion with honest conversations, practical tools, and opportunities for personal growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you find clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose. I also offer Christian-integrative counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith and biblical values into their healing journey. Wherever you are in life, my goal is to meet you there and help you take meaningful steps toward where you want to be.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is based in Georgia. I also have a certification in Marriage and Family Therapy as well as Grief Counseling. My Master’s degree is in Mental Health Counseling, which was obtained from St. Thomas University. For the past fifteen years, I have been working as a counselor in multiple sectors including Outpatient Behavior Health, Inpatient Psychiatric facility, and the Emergency department as a Mobile Crisis Counselor. I have co-facilitated a PTSD Women’s Trauma group for the past ten years, helping survivors to overcome the pain of sexual abuse/assault. My experience has further involved helping couples and families to mend fractured relationships by learning how to manage conflict, develop healthy boundaries, and provide support. Working with adults who struggle with feelings of anxiety and depression who desire to learn how to manage unhealthy thoughts and feelings and learn healthy coping skills, is my passion.

Counseling is more than a career choice for me. It’s my response to what I believe is a divine calling that I’m honored to answer! Professionally I hold Master’s degrees in Education and Clinical Mental Health, a National Board Certification in Counseling and a Professional Counselor license. My credentials qualify me in this work but it’s my passion for people, my fascination with human behavior and conviction about humans’ birthright to sustainable joy that drives me.
I take a holistic, integrative approach to counseling, exploring the needs of the whole person - mind, body and spirit. I'll encourage you to embrace the idea that we're all intrinsically whole and have power in all circumstances that life and choices confront us with. Despite how bleak things may seem, you'll be reminded you have what it takes to not only endure but prevail! Sometimes we just need a little help discovering growth and meaning amid the noise of our anxieties, fears and regrets.

If you are reading this, you might be exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Whether you are an adult dealing with constant overthinking, or a teenager trying to navigate a world that feels incredibly stressful, I want you to know one thing: this is a space to be yourself. You do not have to perform here. You do not have to put on a brave face, use perfect words, or have anything figured out. You can just show up, vent, and let the walls down. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have spent the last 10+ years working in community care, hospital crisis settings, and the juvenile justice system. Because of that background, I don't shock easily, and I won't panic if your life feels messy right now. I have sat with people through some of their darkest and most chaotic chapters. My goal isn't to judge you or give you a cookie-cutter lecture; it’s to provide a steady, calm, and grounded environment where you feel entirely safe. Whether you just need a dedicated place to talk, or you are ready to learn new ways to manage the heavy days, you don't have to do it alone. Let's get started.

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.

I would love to work with you to help you through whatever you are experiencing. I believe anyone is capable of change. I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all go through, at times. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person acts and feels. The more you think a thought, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. These thoughts eventually form habits, which also includes emotional habits. I offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives.
My passion is helping people who experience anxiety, nervous system issues, as well as hormonal issues. I work with depression or low self-esteem. I work with stress management and developing coping skills. I use practical and experiential techniques such as relaxation and somatic exercises. I also offer Christian counseling. I also offer life coaching.

Growing up a child of two Marines, talk therapy was not a process I discussed or even knew about other than the random Freudian Psychotherapy reference in movies or on television. Growing up with the male stereotype that men have no emotions or are unbothered by them, I always felt like the odd person out, I had them and typically felt controlled by them. Through self explorations in college and talking with a variety of mentors about direction in life, i was urged to explore counseling. In the process of working on my self, I found what I felt is a calling and a way to give back.

Hi! I am Sidney and I'm an expressive arts therapist. I love using all modalities, from traditional talk therapy, sand tray, music, to simply pencil and paper, as a way to explore your world. I offer only telehealth sessions at this time; if you are interested in child counseling, we can talk further to see if your child would be a good fit. In my personal time, I love TTRPG, theatre, being outside, playing and cuddling with my pets, and spending quality time with friends.

My name is Amanda Chilleme, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as a Master’s Certified Addiction Professional. For over 11 years, I have supported individuals in identifying what truly matters to them, navigating obstacles, and building a foundation for a more fulfilling future.
My primary specialty is working with men and women struggling with substance use disorders as well as process and behavioral addictions, helping them find a pathway to a life that feels less burdened and more aligned. I also have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, grief and bereavement, trauma, attachment concerns, and personality disorders.
As a clinician, I take a human-focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on—you already know the what. My role is to help you understand the why, and ultimately the how: how to shift it, heal it, overcome it, or, when appropriate, let it go altogether.
Your first session is best described as a two-way interview. As I listen to your story and your narrative begins to take shape, we collaboratively determine two things:
Whether I am the right therapist for you, and
Whether this therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both of us.
If we decide to move forward together, identifying your goals becomes your first assignment. This process allows me to better understand how you think, how you interpret challenges, and how barriers such as stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship dynamics show up for you. From there, we focus on one goal at a time.
I see myself as your coach, teammate, and cheerleader!
Whether you are just beginning therapy or have been on this journey for some time, I invite you to plant that seed—and see just how beautifully you grow.

Are you feeling disconnected from your body and emotions? Do you struggle to sleep, focus, or feel at ease because your mind is never quiet? I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Trauma-Conscious Yoga Instructor. It’s my passion to help people connect to their true selves and heal the wounds that are holding them back from their full potential. I believe that our minds, bodies, and spirits are deeply connected and that to treat trauma and the hurdles that come along with it, we must treat the whole person. I also believe that you are the ultimate authority in your life and that you will innately know what you need to heal when given a safe space to process trauma, address challenges, and grow in your self awareness and self confidence. I would feel honored to partner with you on your healing journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. For more than twenty years, I’ve worked with adults, teens, and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. My main orientation is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which I use to help people understand and heal the protective and wounded parts of themselves. I also integrate attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to strengthen how clients relate to themselves and to the people who matter most.
I come to this work as both a professional and a person who’s lived through many of the challenges my clients face. I’m a parent who knows the daily strain of trying to be present for your family when you’re already running on empty. I’m a trauma survivor who understands what it’s like to rebuild trust in yourself after being hurt. I’ve dealt with painful medical conditions that have tested my patience, resilience, and faith in the system. I’m a husband in an interracial marriage, which continually deepens my understanding of identity, perspective, and what it means to hold space for difference with love and respect. And I’ve been both a therapist and a client, so I know how vulnerable it can feel to sit in that chair and hope the person across from you really gets it.
Because of those experiences, very little shocks me and nothing makes me see you as “less than.” I don’t view trauma, pain, or mistakes as signs of weakness — they’re evidence of survival. My job is to meet you there with honesty, compassion, and respect, and help you find your way forward at a pace that’s right for you.

I've been a licensed psychotherapist since 2009, working with teens (15 and up) and adults, including military service members and their families, community mental health clients, and people in crisis. I help with anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, couples issues, and teen concerns.
My approach is flexible. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and family systems therapy, and I tailor our work to fit you. My sessions are relaxed and welcoming. I use humor and real-life examples, and when it will help you grow, I'll gently challenge you. As a parent who loves singing and sports, I bring my whole self into the room.
You don't need to have it all figured out. Just come ready to be honest and open, and together we'll work toward clarity and feeling empowered on your path forward. All sessions are offered via telehealth.

Understanding anxiety treatment options in McDonough, GA
Anxiety treatment has evolved significantly over the years, and today there are numerous evidence-based approaches that can effectively help you manage and overcome anxiety symptoms. The good news is that you have options – from traditional talk therapy methods to newer, innovative techniques, there’s likely a treatment approach that will resonate with your learning style and personal preferences. Below are some of the most common and effective therapeutic approaches our McDonough, GA therapists use to help clients find relief from anxiety.
Examples of evidence-based approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A commonly used method for anxiety treatment, CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies. Many of our McDonough, GA therapists specialize in CBT techniques specifically adapted for anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly effective for anxiety with emotional regulation challenges, DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety symptoms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating meditation and awareness of the present moment, this approach helps you develop a healthier relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety while committing to actions aligned with your values, helping you live a fulfilling life despite anxious feelings.
Specialized anxiety treatment areas
Our McDonough, GA therapists have expertise in treating various anxiety-related issues, including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder: Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations
- Social anxiety: Fear of social situations and being judged by others
- Panic disorder: Recurring panic attacks and fear of future episodes
- Specific phobias: Intense fear of particular objects, situations, or activities
How to find the right anxiety therapist in McDonough, GA
What to look for in an anxiety therapist
Credentials and experience: Look for licensed therapists (e.g. LMFT, LICSW/LCSW, LPCC, or psychologists) with specific training in anxiety. When searching the Grow Therapy online therapy platform, you will see a clear display of each therapist’s credentials, years of experience, and specialty areas.
Therapeutic approach alignment: Consider which therapeutic approaches resonate with you. Some people prefer structured, skills-based approaches like CBT, while others may benefit from more exploratory or mindfulness-based methods.
To find a therapist by treatment method, you can use the “Treatment Methods” filter above. You may also double check a therapist’s treatment methods by viewing the “My treatment method” section on their profile page. To learn more about the types of therapy available, check out our guide on the different types of therapy.
Availability and scheduling: Choose a therapist whose schedule aligns with yours. Many of our McDonough, GA providers offer both virtual and in-person sessions, providing flexibility for your busy lifestyle.
Insurance acceptance: Verify that your preferred therapist accepts your insurance plan. We make this easy by showing accepted insurances for each therapist.

Cost concerns: Many people worry about the cost of therapy, but with insurance coverage and a large network of in-person and online therapists on Grow Therapy who accept various plans, treatment can be more affordable than you think. We’re here to help you understand your benefits and find cost-effective options.
Time constraints: Anxiety often makes daily tasks feel overwhelming, and finding time for therapy can seem impossible. Our flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments, plus virtual sessions, make it easier to prioritize your mental health.
Stigma and privacy: It’s natural to feel hesitant about seeking help, but remember that anxiety is a treatable mental health condition. At Grow Therapy, we have built our online therapy platform to prioritize your privacy and connect you with understanding professionals who create safe, judgment-free spaces.
Finding the right fit: Not every therapist is the right match for every person, and that’s okay. Our detailed provider profiles and filtering options help you find someone who aligns with your preferences and needs. If you find the provider you choose is not the right fit, Grow Therapy makes it easy to switch and find a new provider who better fits your needs and what you’re seeking in your care.
Getting started with anxiety therapy in McDonough, GA
What to expect in your first session
Your first therapy session is designed to help you and your therapist get to know each other and begin understanding your anxiety experiences. Your therapist will likely ask about:
- Your current anxiety symptoms and triggers
- How anxiety impacts your daily life
- Your personal and family mental health history
- Your goals for treatment
- Any previous therapy experiences
This initial session is also your opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process, your therapist’s approach, and what you can expect moving forward. To learn more about the therapy process, check out our guide to going to therapy.
Preparing for your anxiety treatment journey
Questions to Ask Your Therapist:
- What is your experience helping people who have signs of anxiety?
- What therapeutic approaches do you use for anxiety?
- How long does treatment typically take?
- What can I do between sessions to support my progress?
- How will we measure progress?
Setting realistic expectations: Anxiety treatment is a process, not a quick fix. While many people experience some relief early in treatment, developing lasting coping skills and seeing significant symptom reduction typically takes time and consistent effort.
Developing coping strategies: Your therapist will work with you to develop personalized coping strategies that you can use both in and outside of your sessions. These might include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or mindfulness practices.
