Reece Psychology LLC
I have years of experience working with students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels in different settings. I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy or assessment room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected. I specialize in therapy of children, adolescents, and young adults. I have special interests in areas of treatment involving anxiety, depression, attention and learning difficulties, self-esteem and self-exploration, men’s issues, and online gaming and technology addictions. I incorporate tenets of CBT and psychodynamic therapy in my work. I highly value the rapport and connections I build with my clients, as they play the biggest role in determining the outcomes of treatment. If you're interested in starting therapy or assessment services, please don't hesitate to contact me. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.

Helping to Heal Counseling Services, LLC
Welcome, as it takes courage for us to ask for help from others and seek therapy. I am here to tell you that it is okay to ask for help and seeking a professional therapist is the first step in your journey. Life is hard at times, with a multitude of life transitions, from graduating from high school to finishing college, starting a new job, or having feelings of being stuck either personally and/or professionally. Life is not an easy road to travel, but as we travel through different life challenges, sometimes we need help from others and it’s okay to seek help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is very passionate about the mental health field and each client I have had the pleasure of working with. I am very respectful of everyone’s journey and believe respect, compassion, and sensitivity are very important in building and maintaining a healthy therapeutic relationship. I have experience with working with clients who have struggled with anxiety, depression, stress and major life transitions, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, ADHD symptoms, mood disorders, parent-child relationship issues, behavioral problems, parenting techniques, and grief/loss. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, TF-CBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I utilize different therapeutic techniques to assist my clients, which ensures each client has a personalized treatment plan. When working with my clients, I like to build a strong therapeutic rapport to gather a clear understanding of the client’s needs, goals they want to work on and/or issues they want to address in therapy, barriers to progression in therapy, and objectives to reach their therapeutic goals. My philosophy in working with each client is that I am here to help you. I hope to work with you, helping you understand where you are in the process of change, motivating you to move towards the next stage, assisting you throughout the therapeutic process, and we move at your pace. The client’s progression in the therapeutic process is to understand and acknowledge that, to a large degree, a successful treatment outcome depends on the amount of energy and effort the client makes. I will always have an open and honest line of communication with clients and be empathetic and very respectful. I look forward to working with you!
Merrium Stidham
“To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.” – Buddhist proverb As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I provide a holistic, evidence-informed approach to therapy, helping adults navigate OCD, trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges with greater clarity and self-trust. I have specialized training in trauma and substance use counseling, and I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals managing OCD, including those experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns that feel difficult to break. My work is strongly rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supporting clients inbuilding psychological flexibility, reducing avoidance, and reconnecting with what matters most to them. I am also currently engaged in intensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention(ERP) to further strengthen my work with OCD. I tailor each session to the individual, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches to address both the mental and physiological impacts of stress and trauma. As a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), I incorporate mind–body awareness into therapy in a clinically grounded way, drawing from breathwork, nervous system regulation, present-moment attention. For clients interested in a more integrative approach, this can support deeper awareness and regulation without requiring prior experience in yoga or meditation. I place a strong emphasis on both insight and application, so our work goes beyond simply processing experiences. While there is always space for you to feel heard and supported, therapy with me is also focused on helping you build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful shifts in your day-to-day life. I approach therapy as a collaborative and supportive process, where you can feel both challenged and understood. Whether you are working through intrusive thoughts, healing from past experiences, navigating complex relationships, or seeking a stronger sense of alignment in your life, we will move at a pace that feels steady and sustainable. My goal is to help you build the skills, insight, and resilience needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me spending time with my dog, Sebastian, deep in my sourdough era, cooking something new, or planning my next trip. I am also a big music lover and really value the small, grounding moments in everyday life.
Counseling Associates for Well-Being
Life can feel overwhelming when you are anxious, disconnected, navigating a transition, or unsure how to move forward. I believe therapy can be a supportive space for self-discovery, healing, and growth. My goal is to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where you can better understand yourself, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values. Therapy is not about having everything figured out before you begin. It is a place to start where you are, feel supported, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to build. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy and integrates DBT, ACT, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. I take a holistic, culturally responsive view of therapy, recognizing how personal, relational, cultural, and social experiences shape mental health. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, identity exploration, and personal growth. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I aim to meet clients with warmth, curiosity, and respect as we work together toward insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Laura Mika
Students and young adults are often juggling a lot — classes, work, relationships, family pressure, big decisions, and trying to figure out who they are and what they want. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or like everyone besides you somehow has it figured out. Therapy can be a place to sort through what’s going on, understand yourself a little better, and feel more confident in the direction you're headed.
East Cobb Counseling
I take a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to therapy, integrating modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Relational-Cultural Therapy, and mindfulness. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. During graduate school, I completed a year-long internship at an outpatient eating disorder treatment center, where I gained experience working with eating disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and relational challenges. This experience deepened my understanding of the ways emotional, relational, and environmental factors can impact mental health.
Morgan Sanford
Lately, you might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—whether it’s anxiety, a painful relationship with food and your body, or the weight of living in a body that’s constantly in survival mode. You’ve learned how to keep going, but something still feels heavy or unfinished. You want to feel more at home in yourself—more grounded, more free. In our work together, we’ll slow down, listen to your nervous system, and gently untangle what’s been holding you back. My approach is holistic and person-centered, meaning therapy is always tailored to you- your story, your needs, and your goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches to meet your individual needs with compassion and flexibility. If you’re working through trauma or distressing life experiences, I offer EMDR to support deep, body-based healing. EMDR can be especially helpful when talk therapy alone hasn’t been enough to move through the stuck places. My practice is rooted in Health at Every Size (HAES), promoting body acceptance and self-compassion. If faith is important to you, I also offer Christian counseling to integrate your spiritual beliefs into the healing process. You deserve support that truly meets you where you are. I’d love to walk with you on your path to healing and growth.
Resiliency Therapy Services, LLC
Resiliency is the ability to bend and not break when things get really difficult. It is our inner ability to get back up when life knocks us down. While we all have innate Resiliency, sometimes we need to be reminded of how to find it, let alone create the strength to use it. At Resiliency Therapy Services, that is how we want to support you: finding your Resiliency and encourage coping in spite of what life throws at you. If you aren't feeling like yourself, and have noticed changes in your motivation, focus and functioning, we are a great place to start. As the owner of Resiliency Therapy Services, helping clients find their inner strength is my passion. As a therapist, I connect with clients and use talk therapy and nonverbal interventions to support behavior change and promote coping. I work with clients of many age levels, from children to adult. I, as well as all my therapists at Resiliency Therapy Services, are LGBTQ+ affirming and have additional training to support the unique experience of our LGBTQ+ clients. Regardless of age, identity or presenting problem, we support clients in adjusting to life after emotional upset, significant change, or trauma. This might include grief counseling (including clients facing acute and chronic illness), or addressing depression and anxiety. Finding the right fit for you to find and build upon your Resiliency is important; please call today for a free phone consultation!
N'Spired By Achievement Family Services & Solutions, LLC.
Recognizing every small achievement is essential to continued growth. Often times we allow the achievements to be overshadowed by the weight of the world. Our goal is to assist you in coping with that weight and using the skills you already possess to navigate this ever changing world. We are all stronger than we realize and more capable than we give ourselves credit for. Our differences are to be respected and our life experiences should be valued.
Hayley Ellis
I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults and have experience in many different settings such as the local school system and most recently at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I strive to welcome clients with warmth and non judgment and create a space that feels safe for honesty and growth. My specialties are working with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, chronic illnesses/pain, grief and life transitions. I believe the relationship is the most important piece of the therapy process and plan to meet you wherever you feel comfortable, whether that is using art or taking a walk outside. As your therapist, I hope to empower you and to provide a safe place to process life’s journey, whatever that looks like for you.
Maggie Rose Malone
Welcome! I help young women who feel unfulfilled, overwhelmed, anxious, and who take on too much because they struggle to say "no." Maybe you notice you place a lot of pressure on yourself and are constantly worried about others figuring out you feel like a mess and an imposter on the inside. This stress, anxiety, and uncertainty has been building up and interfering with your ability to engage in life and feel connected and happy. In therapy, we can work on exploring the root of what brings you to therapy and build skills that help you communicate more effectively, feel more confident and emotionally balanced, and feel more grounded and connected to yourself and others. We go at your pace and prioritize your goals, though I may challenge you here and there if I see you underestimating yourself or falling back into old behaviors. If you're interested in finding out more about my style, you can check out my website. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations so we can chat and see if we'd be a good fit before you schedule your initial session. I'd love to hear from you! *Group* I also offer a regular Therapeutic Book Club, in which we read the latest mental health/wellness books, and I offer a women's process group for women with anxiety.
