I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor (CAADC), and a medication-assisted teatment (MAT) therapist.

My name is Kesha Greene. I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. I have over 20 years of working in the behavioral health field in various settings. I am a highly-skilled, empathetic, and compassionate. I have over 10 years of experience in facilitating individual and group therapy within the community, school setting, and residential environments.

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.

I try to meet people where they are. Therapy can look very different person to person. We reevaluate your needs each session to see if we should modify our goals or process in order to better suite your mental health and overall needs. I try to be proactive and productive but also allow time for things to move at a natural pace. I have 7 years of experience working in a variety of settings and serving a diverse population of clients. I have additional training in trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder issues. I also have a lot of experience with substance use including working at a detox unit and working regularly with clients to achieve their sobriety goals in an outpatient setting. I have spent much of my time practicing individual and couples therapy treating a wide range of issues and that is mostly what I do today.

My name is Ashley Hackett and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My focus is on helping you by providing the necessary tools in learning how to heal from past traumas or difficult situations. I am here to help you be the best version of yourself that you inspire to be. I often utilize dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and person-centered, narrative therapy to help my clients achieve their life goals.

My name is Tori, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective with an emphasis on Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Processing Theory, Narrative Therapy, Expressive Arts and Mindfulness Techniques, and some Feminist Theories as well. I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth. I have a Holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is never to tell you what to do but instead to support you along your healing journey, process what comes up on the path to healing, and empower you in your continued growth. I prefer to work with adults. I have experience with depression, anxiety, BIPOC, relationship issues, self-care, body positivity, LGBTQ+ affirming care, trauma, self-esteem, processing the impacts of systemic oppression and capitalism, grief, and much more. To me, it is essential to create a safe, judgment-free, supportive, empathetic, inclusive, warm, and empowering environment for my clients. The best analogy I can use to describe what it feels like working with me therapeutically is: Imagine we are in a car. You are driving, and I am in the passenger seat. Along the path, you decide where we go and which turns we make. I may make an observation or shed some light on a caution sign you might have missed previously, but no matter what turns you take, I am right there with you supporting you on this journey. We may encounter some rough terrain, but you will not have to manage it alone." I always knew I wanted to be in the helping field. My mission in life has always been to positively impact the lives of others. When it came time to decide on a career path, this made the most sense for me because my whole life, I naturally found myself in the role of providing emotional support for friends, family, and even strangers. We set expectations and goals for therapy in the first two sessions. As we continue and adjust over time, we will revisit the goals as needed along the way to make any necessary changes. The first session is much more structured than most of our sessions will be because we will be reviewing informed consent, completing intake information, creating goals for therapy, and discussing your previous experiences in therapy so I can have a clear understanding of what you valued from that experience and what didn't work for you.

My name is Robert(Bob)Willis. I am a licensed LPC. My approach to therapy is client-centered with an emphasis on Biblical teaching. It is my belief that everything a therapist needs to counsel as well as the needs of the client is found in Scripture both Old and New Testaments. After 40+ years in Pastoral Ministry, I am convinced the Bible has the answers to all of man's dilemmas. I approach therapy from an eclectic or variety of approaches but mainly form Cognitive Behavior Therapy along with Delectable Behavioral Therapy. The clients I feel the most comfortable working with are those struggling with anxiety and depression. I also am comfortable working with those with marriage challenges and premarital sessions to prepare the couple with tools to help function as God has designed marriage to work. My style of communication is conversational and when needed confrontational with a gentle touch. Also, I use probing questions to get my client to open up and talk rather than just give short one-word answers. This will help me get to the root of the issues much easier and quicker. Being a Pastor for over 40 years has led me to pursue counseling as a joint and second career. I love People and want the best for my clients. It is my desire for my clients to learn to understand themselves. My goal is to help them mature and grow as a person or couple. I get joy from watching my client grow and learn how to effectively live their lives in a satisfying way. Goal setting is done between the therapist and the client. Goals are specific, measurable, and attainable. The first session is a get-to-know-you session as well as the client getting to know the therapist. It will include questions about one's past. Conversations about what the client understands about themselves and what they expect from the therapist. We will also discuss what the client expects to gain from the counseling experience.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about helping individuals thrive and I believe that everyone is capable of doing amazing things when given the right opportunities and environment to succeed. I have found joy in helping individuals become healthier versions of themselves. I have worked within specialized high acuity programs and within traditional outpatient settings, so no matter the setting or the level of care needed, I can be adaptable and dynamic enough to handle challenges with great empathy and understanding. I am an adolescent and adult therapist. I believe in looking at an individual's whole health - their mind, body, and spirit, as they are interconnected, in order to create balance. I utilize a strengths-based approach to empower individuals while helping them to build their hope and resiliency. I have a lot of experience working with individuals struggling with mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, etc., individuals who have experienced trauma, and individuals struggling with navigating relationships or life transitions. My top modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I also incorporate trauma-focused treatment and mindfulness. I believe the therapeutic relationship is very important and a key aspect of a client’s success. To choose to commit to therapy is a decision that takes great strength, courage, and vulnerability but it is also so very rewarding. The ideal client is one who is willing to commit to this journey of whole health and healing by doing the work needed. As your therapist, I am willing to commit to helping you along this journal and to work just as hard for you as you are willing to work for yourself. My communication style is very open and empathetic. A significant part of building a therapeutic relationship is my ability to listen to clients and make them feel heard and understood. I am engaging, positive, warm, friendly, and attuned with my clients. I utilize reflective listening skills to ensure we are able to connect and to ensure I get to know clients personally. I believe the details matter and that it is a privilege to hear someone’s story. I come from a close family unit, and I am the oldest of two children, so I have always been accustomed to caring for others. Before even attending university, I knew I wanted to build a career focused on helping others. Along the way, I found social work and I have not looked back since. I have earned both my bachelor's and master’s degree in Clinical Social Work which allowed me to not only focus on my clinical skills but also it allowed me the opportunity to gain more understanding of people, and the differences amongst us that make us all unique, how the systems in which we were raised within affect us and how to identify the strengths within each of us. I have worked with various populations and within all levels of care and my background has truly given me the ability to empathize and understand people in a unique way and has continually ignited my passion for helping others. I believe in meeting clients where they are in life and helping to guide them to where they need to be. This journey is about progress, not perfection and everyone is capable of change if they are willing to change. My goal is that each client is able to learn ways to better navigate challenges, cope with stressors, and become a healthier version of themselves over time. During our first session, we will begin getting to know each other. I will ask several questions to gain insight into your background, challenges, and goals for treatment over time to ensure that we are both working towards the same goals. This is also your opportunity to get to know me and ask any questions to aid with building our therapeutic relationship.

Hi, I'm Susan Spissman. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2014, but knew I wanted to be a counselor since the age of ten. I've helped hundreds of clients thrive in life and business with solution-focused tools, and I am committed to equipping you to do the same. My approach to therapy depends on the client's needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, coaching, breath work, mindfulness, neurological techniques, and multiple other evidence-based modalities. I am open to counseling from the Christian perspective, as well as other perspectives. My approach is geared towards high-achieving individuals who are driven to succeed. They often struggle with burnout, worklife balance, high levels of stressanxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, and performance mentality. This can be further complicated by their Christian upbringing, and not knowing how to reconcile success with spirituality. Clients often tell me that they feel more peaceful when talking with me. I have a calm demeanor and soothing tone. I regard all clients with honor - this is a judgment free zone. I have wanted to help people through counseling since ten years of age. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It is my greatest joy in life to see others thriving, successful, and fulfilled. My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative. I believe that we can work together to accomplish client desires through open communication. We'll have check-in points along the way to stay on track, and measure progress. During our first session you can expect us to explore what brought you to therapy, and what you want to accomplish during our time together. I'll ask questions to better understand the situation, your feelings, your thoughts, and what you want to be different in your life. I will do my best to help you feel at ease with sharing personal information.

I'm glad you stopped by! I'm an Arkansas native (most people never met anyone from there) while going to college and living in Louisiana for a number of years before moving to Georgia over 10 years ago. I have been a therapist for over 15 years and I've worked in almost every setting of mental health except with inpatient hospitalization treatment. I have also worked with varying ages and backgrounds. I'm licensed in several states and have specializations in Anger Management, Supervision, and EMDR. My approach is very person-centered with a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, and Emotionally Focused. I believe in working with clients where they are and helping them along their own therapeutic journey. So you're the driver of your own car! I believe the approach depends on whomever I am working with and their need at the present moment. Though eclectic in nature the modalities I most often utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Client Centered. I have only one request for clients: Be open to the process! Other than that, I have and will work with pretty much anyone who meets that requirement. I have a very fun-loving tone and demeanor but I can also be very assertive in order to help you along the therapeutic process when necessary. I listen actively and with great intent so I'm able to help piece information together in an organized fashion even when thought processes may be disorganized or scattered. I always had a natural affinity for helping people as long as I can remember! It didn't take me long to figure out after writing my senior paper in high school about Sigmund Freud what I needed to do! Once I was clear, I made a plan and completed my BA in Psychology and got an MA in Counseling from the same institution. I tell people therapy chose me! I know that working in this field is definitely a calling and not just a career choice (at least for me anyway). Successful care is when a client is more self-aware about who they are as an authentic person and not afraid to walk in their truth. By being able to express that to others and not be limited by both internalexternal factors, one can live an overall healthy life. The first session with me isn't a typical, formal experience. I like to think of two people just having a "conversation ". Although I do like to get a sense of your background, who you are, and what you may have challenges with, I believe developing a good rapport and healthy therapeutic connection is vital from the beginning.

My name is Sala Hilaire. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Master Addiction Counselor, Certified Anger Management Specialist, and a Certified Grief Informed Professional. My practice philosophy is to treat the "whole person," addressing each client's physical, emotional, social, spiritual and cultural needs. I do this by creating and promoting conditions conducive to personal growth and development. I provide solution-focused treatment using Mindfulness interventions that aim to help individuals, couples, and families attain optimal functioning at home, school, work, and in society.

I am a true Georgia peach, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I have the training and experience but during sessions, you will never feel as if you are being judged or analyzed. I believe we are all human and we can't ignore that the main key to being human is empathy. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management from Troy University and Master of Science in Marriage Family Counseling Therapy from Capella University. I incorporate solution-focused, person-centered, and CBT approaches when working with clients, providing a holistic perspective of mind, body, and spirit. My ideal client is one who is open and willing to answer those tough, honest, and thought-provoking questions in order to foster personal growth. My communication style is candid and genuine. I pride myself on authenticity. I was finishing my program in Human Resources and took a few psychology courses. It was while taking those courses that I learned how much I loved the field. So it was at that point I decided to pursue a career in counseling therapy. I chose marriage family counseling therapy because the training focuses more on the system (environment, work, family, etc) rather than only on the individual or the individual being the problem. This is why I approach what is going on by looking at all factors of life that could be playing a role in decreasing your quality of life. My goal for clients is to be able to find peace of mind no matter the circumstances. That comes with a lot of mindfulness and acceptance. During our first session, I will share a little history about myself then we will discuss your history along with collaborating on goals you hope to reach through therapy.
