As a mental health counselor, Johanna strives to help you achieve your goals and the life you desire and deserve.

Whether you or a family member is struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, or relationship problems, you are here because you're looking for a change. Jason enjoys helping people move past the band-aid approach to a problem to really finding lasting change. Early on in his work with clients, he collaborates with them to find practical interventions that will bring relief. Then they explore the internal and external factors that can keep people stuck. The more understanding people have about themselves and their situation, the better they’ll know what to do about it. Jason provides a safe environment for clients to process their struggles. He wants to make sure he understands their life from their perspective. He encourages, challenges, and is present with his clients as they face their hard places.

I help marriages strengthen communication and become skilled at conflict resolution. I specialize in affair recovery, porn / sex addiction recovery, and women's issues. My therapeutic support group provides an opportunity for women to get support and heal from the sexual betrayal mentioned above (whether by the parents they were raised by or by a significant other / spouse). Being a certified sex therapist I help couples heal and grow through sexual intimacy challenges.

Do you feel like you or your child will never be the same again? Do you wonder if the trauma you have experienced is impacting your parenting? Many of my clients feel this way and are relieved to learn there is hope for healing. My name is Lauren, and I can help. Although I have advanced training in play therapy with children, I also work with teens and adults. I can help your child or teen with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have a passion for working with parents to build parenting skills and increase healthy communication with their child/teen. I also assist adults with trauma and life transitions. I use EMDR with children, teens, and adults. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT). With children, I blend play therapy with EMDR. I am also certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) which is another path to healing from trauma. I treat anxiety with a combination of play therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. I have advanced training, expertise, and experience in working with children and their families who have experienced sexual and/or physical abuse. If you or your child has experienced sexual abuse or any severe trauma, I would be honored to work with you toward healing. I would love to help you find hope as you navigate this difficult path.

Kelli has a Master of Arts in professional counseling from Richmont Graduate University and is a licensed professional counselor. She has specialized training in the treatment of trauma, specifically in evidenced-based practices such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and progressive counting method. Kelli specializes in working with individuals who have experienced abuse and other traumatic events. Her work with individuals who have a wide range of experiences has given her a unique perspective when providing counseling. Her desire is to help individuals find freedom from their past experiences and trauma. Specifically, her goal in counseling is to meet clients where they are, help them identify their innate strengths, and partner together to learn how the things they have been through in the past have influenced them. It is her desire to create a safe space where clients can learn that their past does not define them and that they get to write the ending to their own story. Kelli has experience working with individuals dealing with childhood trauma and abuse, domestic violence, grief, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.

As a therapist, I provide a safe, supportive environment to listen while gently challenging troubling thoughts and addressing painful emotions to encourage growth and change. I’m passionate about meeting clients where they are, helping them unpack life's challenges, and bringing light to difficult situations. I work with couples, individuals, and families seeking healthier, stronger relationships. My approach centers on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions that often drive behavior. By exploring these underlying emotions, I help clients improve communication, strengthen emotional bonds, and foster deeper connection. For couples, EFT can guide them in breaking negative patterns, building trust, and restoring intimacy. For individuals and families, it can facilitate healing, conflict resolution, and personal growth. When desired, I also integrate faith into the counseling process, offering a holistic approach to healing that aligns with my clients' beliefs. If you're feeling weighed down by life's challenges, I'm here to walk with you and help you find clarity and hope.

It is my honor and privilege to walk alongside my clients in a supportive, non-judgmental relationship, giving them a safe space for developing self-awareness, learning healthy coping skills, and improving their quality of life. I work best with adults and adolescents ages 16+. I have been in practice since 2011 and earned a master’s degree in community counseling from University of North Georgia. I have worked at Eagle Ranch children’s home in Flowery Branch, Georgia and at Still Waters, a nonprofit Christian counseling center in Gainesville, Georgia. In my own private practice, I currently see clients virtually.    I combine cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems to help my clients who are dealing with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, codependency, anger, grief, and loss as well as marriage, parenting, and spiritual concerns. For clients seeking Christian counseling, I am able to offer a Christ-centered, Biblical approach. I believe that renewing of the mind through the truth of God‘s word and renewing of the heart through experiencing his love are the foundations for peace and joy, regardless of life circumstances. No matter our struggles, Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly.” I love helping my clients on their journey to find this abundant life. Currently, I am only seeing clients virtually.

When you feel like you’re white-knuckling it through life, it can be hard to know how to seek support. Maybe you’re a new mom who feels overwhelmed and outside herself. Perhaps you’re walking through a loss or life transition that leaves you feeling stuck or unable to cope. Or maybe you continue to find yourself affected by a painful past experience that leaves you caught in self-limiting patterns and beliefs. Samantha desires to create space to help you slow down, acknowledge,  and find compassionate support for your needs, and, ultimately, walk with you from a place of surviving to thriving.   Samantha believes in the power of a strong therapeutic connection and works to build trust and extend curiosity about the ways you have learned to show up in your mind, body, and relationships. Working from a trauma-informed approach to build safety and stability from the start, Samantha utilizes the mind-body connection to teach skills for coping with the present and building strength for the deeper healing work ahead. She also uses narrative and parts-work techniques and exploration of past stories and relationships to gain clarity about how to move forward.  Samantha aims to walk alongside you to uncover essential needs that have gone unmet, name with truth the formative experiences that deserve healing, and welcome the parts of yourself that have been burdened so you can live authentically and whole.
