In Mark’s clinical practice, he prefers to work from a cognitive behavioral approach, helping individuals, couples, and families identify and change the causes of dysfunctional thinking and behavior in order to make more balanced and realistic appraisals of themselves, their world, and their future.

He works well with people of all faiths, and is able to integrate spirituality and clinical practice, while respecting the individual wishes of each client. Mark provides effective psychotherapy and counseling to individuals struggling with issues such as acute stress, bothersome levels of anxiety, persistent depression (which may be due to difficult family situations), challenging career choices, stalled personal growth and development, and the need to balance family/work concerns. He is a trained clinician in the application of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological consequences of adult or childhood trauma, accident, loss, or abuse.

Stacey believes our souls long for harmony through a healthy balance of mind, body, and spirit. She takes a holistic approach in her clinical work. Believing we all have a story that matters, she focuses on helping each client find what they need by understanding and owning their life story. She utilizes somatic work to connect the body and the mind, along with attachment work and Emotionally Focused Therapy to explore how and why we move in our relationships—and to create a path of learning how to do something different. Through the power of self-awareness, healing relationships, and the truth of one’s identity in Christ, Stacey believes restoration can be found.

Brittany is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, and a National Certified Counselor in Georgia. Her passion is helping children, age 3 up to young people age 25 and their families restore and rebuild the peace they’ve lost in their lives. She believes humans are designed to be intimately connected with others in loving and secure relationships. When that connection and safety become absent or broken because of life’s difficulties, emotional pain and behavioral issues often arise that are difficult to navigate alone. Brittany’s focus is on providing individuals (ages 3–25) with the tools they need to overcome their inner struggles, navigate challenges, and develop resiliency. Some of her specialties include working with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation, ADHD, low self-esteem, divorce, grief, social skills/peer relationships, behavioral issues, transitional issues, and parent-child attachment work (helping parents connect with their children to build more meaningful relationships). She loves partnering with parents and other important professionals to help children reach their goals and succeed! Brittany has worked as a counselor in a variety of settings, such as nonprofit organizations, animal-assisted therapy programs (utilizing dogs, horses, and dolphins), private practice, and the school system. She primarily uses play therapy and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help her clients achieve self-awareness and emotional healing. In her free time, Brittany enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, traveling, and playing sports.

I’m here to help equip you with the tools and support you need to cope. I am passionate about serving others and helping them achieve wellness holistically. I tailor sessions to each client’s individual needs. I believe that having faith in something greater than oneself can lead to lasting change.

I typically work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, boundary issues, relationship problems, codependency, negative body image, marital conflict, and life transitions. I am a certified PREPARE/ENRICH counselor for pre-marital and couples counseling. I am also Gottman Level 2 trained for marriage therapy.
