Beth Leonard, LLC

Alpharetta, GA

I take seriously the privilege of journeying with clients through the process of healing. My desire is to create a safe place to heal and grow in an environment where you feel honored and respected, have space to process life issues and relationships, and can determine and work toward your goals. I specialize in neurobiological treatments such as brainspotting and EMDR, which provide deeper healing for trauma and areas where you might feel stuck. I love working with those who feel voiceless and struggle with codependency, as well as helping individuals find greater meaning and purpose in life. I work with couples at all stages (dating, preengagement, engagement, marriage, divorce, and remarriage) develop greater intimacy in all aspects of their relationships. My life motto is: "Don't waste your pain." In life, pain is inevitable. The many ways we try to push it away, anesthetize it, or avoid it can further wound us and cause damage to us and our relationships. But when we allow it, pain can be a powerful tool in the father’s hand for change and growth. I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) and the Southeastern Brainspotting Institute. I am a certified Brainspotter and will complete Level 1 IFS (Internal Family Systems) in December 2023. I’m trained in EMDR and certified in PREPARE/ENRICH for premarital couples.

Mandi Peek

Jordan Stones Counseling Center

Johns Creek, GA

Good therapy can move you from the discomfort you’re experiencing toward the feeling of centeredness or healing you’re seeking. I would like to work myself out of a job! I don’t like Band-Aids and shallow solutions; these amount to lazy counseling.    I believe good counseling combines process and content—your current situation needs something new introduced, something change making. Holding space for, processing, and honoring the pain you are experiencing is mission critical, just as stepping outside your life and working on it is essential. Integrating new understanding and language with change-making tools and skills helps bring different outcomes. I am here as a companion to coach and guide with psychological, spiritual, and relational resources as you journey toward your personal healing and goals. Mandi is a psychotherapist, writer, soul-caretaker, yoga teacher, and momma of teens. She is grateful for the constant love and presence of the Lord.
