Hi, this is Lauren A. Evans, LMFT. I will help you take control of your life through the power of your own mind. I desire to provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to feel validated and empowered.

Hello, I am W. Scott Ragsdale, PhD, Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and heal emotional wounds. My sessions meet you where you are in your healing journey, providing a compassionate, supportive space to explore and grow.

My name is Jivanda Martin MA, LPC, CPCS, CAMSII. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. I have over 24 years of experience in the mental health field. The therapeutic modality I use the most is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it historically gets positive results in a short period of time. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling in a safe, positive and optimistic atmosphere. I provide the support needed to share, become aware and address life challenges in a way that result in a treatment plan designed to meet your unique and specific needs. My experience with diverse participants has allowed me to acquire the therapeutic and coaching skills needed to work effectively with youth, adults and seniors from all walks of life to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss, physical trauma or emotional abuse, as well as important life transitions. I have an assertive communication style that lends to empathy and the development of a positive therapeutic rapport. I provide an atmosphere in which you can be heard, validated and understood. In this environment, your true authentic self will be celebrated and improved through the development of awareness. I decided to be a therapist over 30 years ago while in college. I believe that the key to life is to find what you do well and to make a career doing it. I have always had an affinity for compassion, understanding, empathy and validation. The field of psychology allows me to exercise this affinity while helping others. Goal setting is approached through a series of open-ended questions to address the clients unique needs. The first session is information gathering and goal setting in an effort to create the foundation and direction of the therapeutic process.

I am Tunisia Lumpford, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW #CSW006360) who has experience working with individuals, adults, and families who are facing life's challenges that include trauma, depression, and anxiety. I utilized Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapy. I have passionate about seeing you THRIVE; therefore, I would love to be a part of your journey to change your current state. My ultimate plan is to be there every step with you in order for you to experience a balance in the days ahead.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Specialization in Christian Sex Therapy. I was a counselor at a behavioral health hospital for seven years and a caseworker for Child Protective Services prior to receiving my professional license. I received a Master of Professional Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in 2005 and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2000. Being a counselor allows me the privilege of walking with someone in the midst of their struggles all the way to healing. I aim to provide an environment that is safe and encourages clients to be themselves, free of judgment. I favor Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Client-Centered approach. I welcome working with clients battling anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger management, and sexual-related issues such as abuseassaultdysfunctionaddiction who are looking to make positive changes both emotionally and behaviorally. Maintain eye contact, calm atmosphere, good listening, reassuring tone. I have a natural compassion for people who are suffering and a desire to help them improve their lives. Successful care and progress are comprised of steady improvements in mood, completion of steps and goals, and increased self-awareness. During the first session, we will review the client’s intake information, identify the areas of concern, and discuss general goals for therapy.

My name is Christina Baffuto and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with clients based in Georgia via Telehealth. I primarily work with individuals ages 25-45 but also have years of experience working with children and adolescents. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and processing life changes, and grief. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused therapy to help my clients feel more in control and help them feel better throughout all the seasons of life. I tend to primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but this varies depending on my client's needs. I also use Dialectical Behavioral therapy as needed. I find that these modalities help my clients build skills to help them in their daily lives and feel prepared for taking on life's challenges as we navigate through the therapy process.

Together we will work towards healing the parts that feel broken, restoring the relationships that are damaged (with yourself, your self-esteem, your intuition, your family, and helping you fulfill your potential. Christian counseling is also available as a solution for individuals seeking traditional mental health therapy who would prefer hearing from the perspective of a Christian. As a licensed professional counselor and Doctor of Ministry, I can help treat specific mental health conditions such as depression, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, grief, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), low self-esteem, and domestic abuse, and provide Christian counseling. We all go through challenges in life, so you are not alone. And no matter what you have experienced, you can heal.

Hi! I am Dr. Malissa Collins, a licensed professional counselor(LPC) in Georgia specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My approach is warm and compassionate. My focus is to meet clients where they are and teach them ways to successfully navigate through life to meet goals. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, families, and couples. My Ph.D. is in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clients appreciate my warmth, nonjudgmental style. It helps to make them feel relaxed and confident. I knew in high school that I wanted a career in the psychology industry because my friends told me I had a natural “knack” for listening and helping. They would say, “You’re easy to talk to”…my drive comes from living my purpose. I find value in helping others reach happiness. Because I primarily use CBT strategies to help clients reach therapy goals, the focus begins with cognitive restructuring…awareness of potential faulty core beliefs about self and the world. My first sessions include getting to know you as a partner in this therapeutic relationship. This means I will ask questions to learn as much about you as possible. The goal is to build trust in each other.

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.

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.

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.

Greetings, my name's Bertrona Freeman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach to encourage clients to focus on changing their perception of life experiences in order to improve behavior response. Motivational Interviewing strategies are utilized to elicit change talk about the client's current situation and develop a person-centered plan to improve the client's quality of life.
