I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Atlanta, GA who works with adult individuals. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds, identities and life experiences and am particularly passionate about supporting those who have been impacted by criminal legal systems. I frequently see clients for the following concerns: • Anxiety, Depression, and mood concerns • Relationship and communication challenges • Processing and coping with major transitions • Support for those in helping professions • Grief & loss • Self-esteem & body image concerns • Addiction recovery & support • Gender dysphoria and gender transition support • Trauma (acute, chronic, complex, and historical) • Trauma & grief specific to legal system involvement Building authentic, compassionate connections is central to my therapeutic approach. I will engage you as a partner in the therapeutic process, tapping into your unique strengths as we process your emotions and patterns together. I will apply a multitude of evidence-based practices during our sessions in order to provide a truly individualized and person-centered experience. Some modalities I frequently use include: CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and somatic therapy techniques. I am also in the process of obtaining EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) and WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) certifications. Before working with clients privately, I practiced as a mental health clinician in jail and prison settings, as well as within court systems and a pre-arrest diversion program. I remain passionately involved in legal system reform and abolition work and feel that my responsibilities and ethical obligations as a social worker extend well beyond the therapeutic relationship, to also include such social justice policy advocacy and community organizing efforts. Due to their overrepresentation within legal systems, I have had the honor of working with many clients who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. I welcome clientele of all genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities and religions, and remain committed to actively seeking out education and opportunities for growth concerning anti-racist and anti-oppressive therapeutic practices. I seek to maintain a practice in which people of all identities do not simply feel tolerated, but feel deeply understood, accepted, and nurtured.

A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time. Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.

I am a licensed therapist (LPC) in GA. I work with clients of all ages and cultures, and provide individualized treatment to meet their needs. I help individuals cope with current stress and past trauma. I help people that are struggling with change, whether its traumatic and in the past, or stressful and occurring now.

Are you stressed and overwhelmed by your health, your day-to-day life, or your relationships? As a Psychologist with more than 28 years of experience, as well as being a two-time breast cancer survivor and a caretaker for my elderly parents, I can help you to navigate health issues and life stresses more effectively. Life can be difficult for each of us at some point in time, in ways unique to our own circumstances. My goal is to help people through the tough chapters so that they move into better chapters with additional tools to handle challenges and stresses. I don't view people as being broken or needing fixing. We all need someone with whom to sort things through at times, someone who isn't part of our day-to-day mix. In therapy, clients develop more effective expectations by redefining their stresses and challenges, reduce emotional upset and distress by looking at their issues from a new angle, and feel empowered by trying new approaches to effective problem-solving. I would be pleased to walk this journey with you, to reduce stress and find a more satisfying approach to life. Available appointments are those set aside specifically for intakes. I see clients through Grow Therapy on Monday and Tuesday. I cannot do letters, FMLA forms or provide disability opinions for clients who have not already been involved in therapy with me for at least several months.

My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well. I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons. With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia. I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

I love partnering with people on their journey to greatness. I use a strengths-based approach to help my clients see the choices that are always at their disposal to unlearn past harmful messaging or combat unrelenting present symptoms. As a Black woman, I always integrate the importance of diversity. Playing small to blend in doesn't serve anyone. Whether we're different based on external or internal attributes, we all need to embrace our beautiful and different qualities so that we can live an authentic life. My work also focuses on boundaries, challenging thoughts, and improving communication skills. I integrate role plays, affirmations, accountability, and direct introspection exercises to aid clients in quieting the noise of societal norms to embrace their true joy. All sessions are client-focused, I don't come with my own agenda. I'm excited to help you live life with confidence on your own terms. I look forward to working with you.

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 worked with clients on a wide range of issues. I started my career working in child welfare where I worked alongside parents to help them become the best versions of themselves as individuals and as parents. I am experienced in working with parents and teens and helping each person improve those familial relationships. For over a decade, I had the honor of working in medical settings with individuals coping with and adjusting to a new chronic and/or terminal disease diagnosis and with their families as they grapple with their new normal. I have facilitated grief support groups for those who have lost a loved one or experienced a different type of loss. Processing grief is very important and looks different for each individual. I enjoy partnering with clients in finding their way back to joy and purpose after a loss. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.
