Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a new chapter in your life, one where you feel more in control, more fulfilled, and more at peace? Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges, seeking growth, or simply needing a space to be heard, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. As a licensed clinical social worker with over nine years of experience, I bring a diverse background to my practice, including work in psychiatric hospitals and the non-profit sector. My journey has allowed me to work with a wide range of clients, across various ages, ethnicities, and personal preferences. I hold an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Spelman College and a Master’s in Health and Mental Health Social Work from Whitney M. Young Jr. School of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University. My passion for knowledge keeps me curious and always learning, which helps me stay in tune with the latest insights in mental health. I am a firm believer that no one knows more about your life than you do—you are the author of your story. My role is to support you as you write your next chapter or even change the title altogether. My approach to therapy is grounded in sincerity, client-driven methods, and evidence-based practices. I strive to create an autonomous and ethical therapeutic environment where you feel supported and empowered. By building a strong, trust-based relationship, I aim to help you achieve meaningful progress and personal growth.

Hi, I’m Demetria Agharese, and I help people who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves find their way forward. My ideal clients are adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside. You may be the person everyone depends on while privately battling anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or the pressure to constantly “hold it all together.” Maybe your mind won’t shut off. You overthink every decision, question your feelings, replay conversations, worry about what might happen, or feel trapped by thoughts you wish you could turn off. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, divorce, major life transition, low self-esteem, or simply wondering, “How did I lose myself?” You don’t have to continue living that way. I offer a warm, genuine, culturally responsive, and judgment-free space where you can put down the weight you’ve been carrying and talk openly about what’s really happening. I don’t believe therapy should feel like sitting across from someone who simply checks boxes on a diagnosis list. I believe you deserve to feel heard, understood, challenged when needed, and supported throughout the process. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavioral strategies, and mindfulness, I help clients break unhelpful cycles, face fears, manage difficult emotions, build confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and become less controlled by anxiety and uncertainty. Most importantly, therapy with me is collaborative. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. I’m here to help you discover who you are, understand what matters to you, and develop the confidence to live accordingly. If you’re ready to stop simply surviving and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, confident, and meaningful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Even strong, successful couples can struggle behind closed doors. Stress, busy schedules, communication breakdowns, unresolved hurt, intimacy challenges, parenting demands, and career pressures can slowly create distance in a relationship that once felt effortless. I work with couples who want more than just fewer arguments — they want to feel connected, understood, desired, and supported again. Together, we work to improve communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and create healthier ways of navigating conflict and partnership. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with 17 years of experience, I help couples strengthen both their relationship and their connection so they can build a marriage that feels secure, passionate, and sustainable long-term.

I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of therapeutic settings, including schools, partial‑hospitalization programs, a child‑advocacy center, and a private practice focused on trauma and child‑centered play therapy. These experiences have allowed me to support children, teens, adults, and couples through many different seasons of life. Along with Play Therapy, my passion lies in Narrative Therapy—helping people uncover the stories that shape their lives and supporting them as they create new, preferred narratives that reflect their strengths, values, and hopes.

I’m a therapist who helps you remember who you are beneath the self-doubt, survival patterns, and old stories. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when we reconnect with the parts of ourselves we’ve had to hide or silence—especially the inner child. I work at the intersection of self-worth, spirituality, and soul-aligned growth, supporting clients in finding clarity, confidence, and deeper meaning. I specialize in working with those who feel like they’ve spent a lifetime holding it all together while feeling unseen or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are navigating transitions—whether it’s stepping into adulthood, breaking generational cycles, leaving behind people-pleasing, or exploring who they are beyond roles and expectations. If you’ve ever felt like you're constantly performing, second-guessing yourself, or longing to feel safe in your truth, you’re not alone. In our work together, I draw from evidence-based therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and somatic practices, while also incorporating space for spiritual exploration, ancestral healing, and intuitive insight. I honor each client’s cultural, emotional, and energetic experiences and believe in co-creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. This is more than just symptom management—it’s about coming home to yourself. I’m here to walk with you as you reclaim your voice, reconnect with your purpose, and live more fully in alignment with who you truly are—mind, body, and spirit.

Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people from all walks of life as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their inner strength. My dream client in therapy is someone who is ready and open to change—an adult or couple who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, but who holds a genuine desire to grow, heal, and build a more fulfilling life. They may be navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or internal struggles like anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain. What makes them ideal is their willingness to explore, reflect, and take steps toward meaningful transformation. Whether individually or as a couple, they value the therapeutic space as a place of support, discovery, and empowerment, and they come with the courage to be honest, even when it’s hard. I’m passionate about walking alongside these clients as they reconnect with themselves and each other, and begin to create the lives they truly want.

Hi, I’m Erika Gardner, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping adults reconnect with themselves and find steadiness during difficult seasons of life. If you’ve been navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, or the sense that life has simply become too heavy to manage alone, you’re in the right place. I support women and adults who are working through overwhelming emotions, healing from past experiences, or trying to regain their footing after major life changes. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and paced according to your comfort. I blend supportive talk therapy with practical coping tools and goal-focused strategies so sessions feel both grounding and genuinely useful.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for a number of years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders. In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues. It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above. .

I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home.

I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you.

I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

Welcome!! I get it!! Some days life can feel overwhelming for various reasons and you may need someone to talk to. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can talk through some of those feelings and emotions. My goal is to help you figure out how to live your best life. I have over 20 years of experience as a social worker working with adults with various issues including, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and relationship issues just to name a few. I use a therapeutic approach that is centered on your needs and goals. I provide an environment that enables you to be comfortable so you can have an open conversation. I am here for you! I have found through many years of practice that everyone is unique and so are their needs. Therefore the way I conduct my sessions is centered around you and what works best for you. I get it, some days you don't want to talk about certain things or get "too deep". I meet you where you are. Life is a journey and I look forward to joining you on yours and we will go at your pace.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Marietta/Kennesaw area in Georgia. I have been in private practice working with primarily trauma since 2008. I specialize in treating trauma... things that have happened to you that shouldn't have happened. As a result of trauma, our way of thinking and behaving changes in order to protect us. Unfortunately, those changes are often things we don't like. I love helping clients figure out and resolve the trauma that is at the root of their problems.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Valdosta State University. I was born and raised in Nebraska but have made Georgia my home, and I truly love it here. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, meaningful support. I know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and I want you to know that taking that step says a lot about your strength and your commitment to yourself. My goal is to make sure that from the moment you connect with me, you feel welcome, heard, and comfortable. I am an animal lover through and through, and that love has found a natural home in my clinical practice. I incorporate pet therapy into my work with clients, and I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that a furry friend can have on even the most difficult days. Whether it helps break the ice, ease anxiety, or simply bring a moment of joy into a hard season, it is one of my favorite tools to offer. Outside of my passion for animals, I am deeply committed to doing work that matters. I show up for my clients with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them through the hard stuff, and celebrating the wins along the way — big and small. If you are looking for a therapist who will be real with you, root for you, and work hard alongside you, I would love to connect. I can't wait to meet you.
