I bring over 15 years of experience to my work. I completed my Master’s in Professional Counseling at Richmont Graduate University in 2004 after obtaining a Bachelor in Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion at Furman University in 2002. I am trained in DBT and EMDR. If your faith is important to you, we can certainly incorporate that into our therapy. My approach integrates more concrete aspects of cognitive behavior therapy and more abstract and integrative components of faith and mindfulness. Being a person-centered therapist, I know that each of us has the desire and capacity for growth and change and I bring that knowledge to each session.

Jonathan  is deeply passionate about walking with individuals through the complexity of life—the seasons of joy and fulfillment, as well as the seasons of pain and uncertainty. He believes that every person is created with inherent dignity, value, and purpose, and that healing often begins when we rediscover meaning in the midst of struggle. Jonathan considers it an honor to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges and seek restoration. His counseling approach is relational, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that change is possible for everyone. He works with adolescents and adults who are experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, high stress, relational difficulties, spiritual concerns, or major life transitions. When desired, Jonathan thoughtfully integrates Christian faith into the counseling process. Jonathan is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)—an evidence-based method for addressing trauma and distressing experiences. He views EMDR as a powerful tool that complements the deeper work of meaning-making, allowing clients to move beyond painful memories and begin living more freely in the present. Jonathan earned a master of arts in biblical counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and a bachelor of arts in psychology from Biola University. He is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. Over the course of his career, he has worked with individuals, groups, and families across inpatient hospital programs, outpatient settings, and private practice.

Brittny has a heart for helping individuals discover more of their true selves, assisting couples in learning how to get to “know” each other as God intended by design, and building cohesion in families. Brittny's approach to counseling is holistic, person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and structural (i.e., cycles, systems, and boundaries). She enjoys teaching clients about their symptoms, thought processes, emotional responses, and behavioral and social patterns. She also values learning from them about what they need most as indicated through the therapeutic relationship. The goal is to help clients discover new ways to express their needs, practice gratitude and self-care, and set healthy boundaries to cultivate and maintain wellness. When working with couples, for example, Brittny may utilize PREPARE/ENRICH, Gottman Method, and/or Woodfellow’s Love Cycles/Fear Cycles model. She joins with them as they learn how to highlight their strengths, communicate effectively, rebuild trust and intimacy, and share their deepest desires and dreams. And because she believes that mental health derives from one’s soul health, she integrates spirituality into the healing process, as guided by the client. Brittny navigates her life with a Christian compass, but she welcomes her clients’ beliefs and positions on spirituality and in no way tries to impose her beliefs on them. Brittny's style of therapy involves homework (i.e., journaling, reading, completing worksheets, practicing coping skills, and utilizing support) to keep clients engaged in the healing process, so be prepared to get to work! Homework teaches clients how to practice new skills and cope independently between sessions to become advocates for their own healing. With a combination of collaborating with Brittny, God’s wisdom and guidance, and your commitment to the process, nothing less than transformative possibilities await you. Are you ready to do this good work?
