Suzannah Hutchins

Relationships can be deeply meaningful, but even couples who love each other can feel disconnected, misunderstood, or caught in recurring conflict. Suzannah works with couples who want to rebuild trust, communicate more effectively, and feel close again.

Together, you will explore the patterns that keep you stuck, understand what drives them, and work toward lasting change, healthier relationships, and greater emotional well-being. Suzannah combines Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen their relationships. She also helps individuals with anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to build self-awareness, break unhealthy patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Married for over 36 years and the parent of eight children, including four adopted through foster care, Suzannah understands that family relationships can be both rewarding and challenging.

MICHAEL G CARRICO PC

Roswell, GA

Having a passion to work with people to bring healing and resolution, Mike strives to encourage and equip others to reach their greatest potential and empower them with the necessary tools to guide them in this process. His approach to counseling is both collaborative and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, and Family Systemic Theories. He has discovered that each person has a fascinating life story to share. Through one’s story, we discover how each person was influenced by past experiences, both positive and negative; interactions with family members and peers; and beliefs constructed around thoughts and feelings experienced during significant life events. Utilizing the above mentioned theories greatly assists him in better understanding each person, his/her story, and root causes that fuel patterns of behavior. In addition to addressing the issues that brings the client to seek relief, we will together acknowledge and augment the person’s strengths.

Ken Ellithorpe

Ken Ellithorpe

Spring Life Counseling

Woodstock, GA

Ken Ellithorpe is a counselor dedicated to helping clients navigate trauma, overcome addiction, and achieve lasting restoration.     Guilt is the feeling of having done something wrong, whereas shame is the belief that there is something wrong with you. Ken's job, as he has seen it since beginning his journey in counseling, is to help clients understand the difference between these two words, as they are all too often conflated and turned into a burden that feels impossible to carry.    Ken has worked with men dealing with sexual and pornography addiction, focusing on helping clients understand the "why" of their issues so that they can begin to engage in the "how" of healing and restoration. He utilizes trauma-centered approaches to therapy that are grounded in Adlerian Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Ken believes that our past does not have to define our present, much less our future, and that through this work, clients can allow God to heal the deep wounds of trauma.
