Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Master's degree from Clayton State University and have been practicing for four years. I help adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and processing how past relational traumas impact present-day relationships. My goal is to provide compassionate and effective support, empowering you to overcome obstacles and achieve greater relationships with yourself and others. I personally enjoy bringing a sense of spirit into my work with clients. While not a necessary part of the process, I truly believe our work is most impactful from a mind/body/spirit lens. Do not be surprised if I talk about "energy". All spiritual and religious backgrounds are welcome, as I enjoy learning from clients as much as I enjoy teaching new skills and perspectives.

Hi, I'm Kiera, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical support. Throughout my career, I have worked in crisis intervention, inpatient behavioral health, addiction treatment, and outpatient therapy, supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, life transitions, and emotional distress. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. My approach combines empathy, accountability, and evidence-based techniques to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you're experiencing a difficult season of life or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Life is unpredictable and the experiences we have influence our belief systems, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This is true of both beautiful and traumatic experiences. There are only so many things we have control over within the systems we navigate. My goal is to help you figure out the things you do have control over, heal from the experiences that have negatively affected your life, and support you through the up's and down's of self-exploration.

Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck. If you’re struggling with the lingering effects of traumatic experiences, you’re not alone, and there is hope. I specialize in treating trauma in a safe, effective, and relatively pain-free manner that gets to the roots of the trauma and removes them. Whether you are dealing with recent trauma or longstanding issues, I am here to help you on your path to recovery. You deserve to live a life free from the pain and heartache of your past. You don’t have to face this alone. If you're ready to take the first step towards recovery and reclaiming your life, please reach out to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you.

I have been a clinical therapist since 2010. I have my Masters of Social Work from UNCW. I have worked in many areas of social work and therapy including with families and children, adults, and various areas of mental health. I welcome all people including those that may sometimes feel discriminated against due to age, gender, ethnicity, or sexuality. My goal is to help others better understand themselves, and thus make the best decisions for their own happiness. I treat each client as an individual with unique needs.

Hi, my name is Alice Williams. I have been a counselor for around 12 years. My experience has been working in clinics, mental hospitals and also virtual appointments with BetterHelp. Now I am joining Grow so clients with insurance and private pay can utiliaze my services. I think you will find me to be a genuine person who is nonjudgemental and caring. I use various treatment approaches depending on the clients needs. Music is a love of mine. I travelled for over eight years doing a program for people in recovery. Being from Nashville, music was always around, so I incorporated my love for music into my various philosophies. I have two grown sons who are doing very well in life even though I went through a divorce with their Dad. Issues arose, but we worked together to make the best life possible. Grief has not been a stranger to me. My daughter was killed in an accident at 16 in a roll-over accident. It devasted my family but we are survivors and the last thing she would want is for us to be sad all the time. We remember her with love and devotion, always in our hearts. Thinking about your problems all day long can cause major anxiety as well as depression. Living in the past is not being present as well as living in the future. Staying in the present moment and doing what you can each day according to your values is a key to living a life of joy and meaning - even though there is pain and suffering around us. I sincerely hope you give me and all my years of experience a try and let us work together to make a better life. Thanks.

I believe everyone has the capacity to create meaningful change, and with the right support, those changes become possible. I practice with integrity and compassion, drawing from both my clinical training and my lived experience to guide the work we do together. I’ve spent more than 15 years in the mental health field, including 8 years as a therapist. I’m passionate about helping people improve their quality of life, and I genuinely enjoy the study and practice of psychology. I value working with diverse populations and have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating addiction and mental health challenges. My goal is to create a grounded, collaborative space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as we work toward the changes that matter most to you.

I'm Cherysh Caldwell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia and Alabama. I work with adults who are capable, accomplished, and quietly carrying more than the people around them realize — navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes from living and leading in systems that demand a great deal and don't always give much back. My path to this work is not a straight line. Before clinical practice, I spent years working at the intersection of people and systems — as an educator, a nonprofit executive, a public administrator, and a local government leader. That background shapes everything about how I work. I don't just see the person in front of me. I see the environments, relationships, and pressures that shaped them. I bring that same depth to therapy — creating a space that is honest, affirming, and grounded in the belief that sustainable wellbeing has to be intentionally designed. If you are ready to stop managing and start building something different, I'd be glad to work with you.

My name is Lee Maxwell; a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Maximum Wellness, LLC. I have lived and worked in Metro Atlanta for over two decades. I grew up in rural Georgia; born to older parents who instilled in me the value of connection with others and treating others as I would want to be treated. I gained my passion for working in Geriatrics from my mother, who, on most Sundays throughout my childhood, would take me along with her to visit a local nursing home. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Georgia Southern University; followed by a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from Savannah State University. I have been working in the field of mental health care for 25 years; 16 of which have been dedicated to providing psychotherapy services; primarily to a geriatric population. After working in senior living communities throughout the pandemic, I decided to afford myself the opportunity to work with a younger population; which I found to be refreshing and resulted in opening up my private practice to include services for all adults over the age of 18yo. I have been professionally licensed in the state of Georgia since 2009.

Hi. I'm Christine. Over-stressed and demoralized these days? Are familiar activities and places that you've found soothing suddenly not offering relief from anxiety and depression? There is no failure or shame in revamping your coping skills, finding inspiration in new narratives, and challenging old beliefs that keep you from embracing the many versions (discovered and undiscovered) of you! Are you caught in the comparison trap? Spiraling in a bad algorithm? I will help you find meaningful connection, improve relationship skills, and teach emotional regulation strategies. Life transitions can be tricky too, and it can be helpful to talk though periods of loss and change.

Since 2023, I decided to retire from Higher Education and practice full-time as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Macon, GA. Every time I meet with a client, I consider it a "holy" moment when someone allows me to enter into their inner space and I can share some of mine to establish a genuine connection with a fellow sojourner.

I am a clinical social worker who provides individual therapy for adults. Over the course of my 20 plus year career, I have worked in various settings with a variety of client populations and concerns (anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, self-esteem, assertive communication, adjustment to major life changes, and relationship concerns). As a therapist my role is to provide a non-judgmental, safe environment for individuals to explore their life issues and support them in their personal growth. I find that a lot of us struggle with listening to our inner critic and often beat ourselves up for past regrets, as well as spending a lot of valuable time worrying about the past and the "what if's" in the future. I hope we can work together to quiet this critic and find a way to enjoy the present. Please note that my education and experience does not include working with clients presenting with eating disorders, complex PTSD/trauma, or OCD.

I believe in offering a space where you can simply be yourself — no performing, no shrinking, no pretending you’re okay when you’re not. The work we do together is collaborative and deeply human. It’s a space where your emotions are met with respect, your questions are taken seriously, and your growth unfolds at a pace that feels steady and safe. I support people who are navigating anxiety, depression, major life changes, relationship stress, women’s issues, and those heavy seasons where everything feels confusing or stuck. Together, we move toward clarity, emotional balance, and a more grounded connection to the version of you that’s been hard to access under the weight of it all. My approach is shaped by the years I spent navigating different backgrounds and environment of living situations. Those experiences broadened my understanding of identity, culture, and the many ways people learn to cope, survive, and make meaning. My experiences have taught me to honor the values and perspectives each person brings, and to approach every story with genuine curiosity and respect and to listen to understand and seek clarity. That awareness is woven into my work — steady, culturally attuned, and deeply aware of the complexity of individual's challenges.
