Hi there! My name is Nikki Messer and I am a licensed clinical social worker. At the heart of my practice, my goal is to help you experience healing and growth as you regain a life worth living.

I am Margaret Pendergrass and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have worked with diverse clients over the years and I am passionate about exploring the origins of challenging thoughts and feelings, self-compassionate goal-setting, and living by one’s values in any situation.

I am here to support children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am certified as a trauma specialist and a brainspotting practitioner for children, adolescents, and adults. I incorporate a holistic approach, mind-body and spiritual alternative therapies such as meditation groups and meditation and art groups. I value being compassionate and respecting where people are in their journey and creating a safe space for children, adolescents, and adults. I value, appreciate, and respect the gift of neurodiversity as we are meant to honor and accept our differences. I also believe that we all have a "Healing Intelligence" within, moving us toward healing and growth. My role is not to "fix" the client or to tell them what's wrong. Instead, I act as a facilitator, helping the client connect with this powerful inner guide within themselves. I trust the client's process and their ability to access this deep knowing that will guide them towards their own well-being.

I specialize in helping women move beyond coping into healing: addressing long-standing patterns rooted in anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. My approach blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and a strong emphasis on self-compassion. Therapy with me is warm, respectful, and transformative.

Are you in a relationship that you aren't sure is right for you? Do you find that you would like to be more connected to significant people in your life but find yourself struggling to create the intimacy you desire? It is human nature to want to be connected to other people, yet many of us put walls up and make that connection difficult. Or we may gravitate to relationships that are not healthy for us. We may continue with old habits that at some point served a purpose in our lives, but as we grow we find that the more we continue operating in the same patterns we get less of what we actually want in our relationships. I can help you identify patterns that keep you stuck and prevent you from connecting the way you would like to in your relationships. I can help you learn new ways of being in a relationship and connecting. If you are reading this you are aware that something you are doing is no longer working, something needs to change. Healing and growth are possible and you can have the relationships that you want. I view therapy as a process, a journey of discovery and learning. As your therapist I will be part of your journey by providing a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel free to express your deepest concerns, thoughts and emotions. I believe that in order to move forward in our lives it is essential to deal with emotional pain, anxiety and stress we may be carrying. Therapy can help recognize and face unresolved pain and conflict that may be affecting you in negative ways. I believe that the client therapist relationship is the most important part of therapy. Through our relationship my hope is that you acquire an improved understanding of yourself and attain balance in your life. I can help you find the answers that lie within you. I have experience working with a wide range of issues including relationship issues, intimacy, motherhood, parenting, anxiety, life transitions, family conflicts & emotional concerns.

Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options. My role is to assist you in determining where you are in your relationship; what choices are available for you; which road you want to take. Let me be your guide towards which road to travel. I am also a Divorce Coach and work as a member of the Collaborative Law team of professionals.

As a licensed professional counselor with nearly two decades of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. With a bachelor of arts in psychology from Louisiana State University and a master of counseling and guidance from Louisiana Tech University, I have the knowledge and skills to provide effective, personalized care.

My name is Daryl Gessner and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) located in Cartersville, George. I work with clients face-to-face and throughout the state via telehealth. Many of my clients consist of adults, adolescents, and children, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and anger management with individuals. Additionally, I also work extensively with couples counseling involving communication, infidelity, porn and other addictions, and relationship issues. I assist families with issues such as blended families, adoption, parenting, and relationship issues with young adults. In addition, I conduct testing for attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and autism.

Have you found yourself constantly apologizing when you have made a misstep, or agreeing to something you do not want to do, or suddenly overcome with anxiety? Or, maybe, you rage at someone because they upset you and then feel guilty afterwards? If so, you have come to the right person. I am a therapist who believes that someone who has a past filled with abuse, neglect, or difficult circumstances has become imprisoned by their past. They have memories deeply engraved in their brains, which have caused adaptive strategies to form in order to survive and be safe. I also believe there is a way out. I can help you learn to reprogram your brain so that you are able to tell the difference between your adaptive reactions and what are thoughtful ones. Also, to find an internal sense of safety that counteracts the effects of an unsafe, unwelcoming hostile world. Thus, to be able to recognize who you really are without needing the previous, adaptive parts to be able to stay safe.

I work with Couples and those who are dating and specialize porn addiction, infidelity, building trust, intimacy, communication, and conflict resolution, using Prepare-enriched, Gottman method and symbols for relationship enrichments, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR to help my clients make progress and start feeling better My approach to therapy is always a person-centered approach.

My name is Tandy Mackey and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Atlanta, Georgia, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in Family Systems, Emotional Family Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Therapy, Attachment Theory, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, Supportive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to assist my clients in being the better version of themselves so they can feel better. I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors. My clinical experience includes working with a diverse population which includes race, youth, families, and adults given my firsthand experience in navigating generational and cultural differences. Representation for minority groups in the broader world of mental health is still very small, and my own professional goals include creating more intersection between my personal knowledge of Western cultures and professional experience in providing mental health support. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Emotional Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Therapy, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, these modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to set goals so they can move forward in a healthy way.

Vickie J Hagan, MA, LPC. I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. Therapeutic interpersonal relationships are the primary component of all healthcare interactions that facilitate the development of positive clinician-patient experiences.
