Overcoming – Healing – Thriving These three words encompass my goal for each person who walks through my door. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the problem. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside each of my clients, helping them overcome their struggles, heal from their pain, and thrive in their lives. I predominantly work with college aged and adult females experiencing: ● Depression and other mood disorders ● Anxiety ● ADHD ● Low self-esteem ● Conflict and communication ● Family and relationship challenges ● Trauma and grief

I am passionate about supporting people to live more fully, deepen their relationships, and reclaim balance within their relationship between their body and mind. Existing in the world can be challenging and we aren't meant to do it alone. Areas of focus include and aren't limited to eating disorders, relationship with body, anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, attachment, couples, and neurodiversity. Marah aims to create an inclusive, collaborative, and compassionate environment for people as they explore the various parts of themselves, their relationships, and personal goals. She has experience working with individuals, couples, and families of various gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship structures, and racial-ethnic backgrounds from early childhood to end of life. She integrates a variety of narrative therapy, CBT/ACT, embodiment practices, and mindfulness to support people meet their goals. Every person is unique and being human can be hard at times. There are a lot of distractions in the world that block us from connecting to our innate worth. When we are connected to ourselves, our capacity shifts, and we are more able to live fully in alignment with our values. It would be an honor to support you along your path.

Are you noticing changes in your mood but don't know where to start to get back on track? Do you feel burnt out due to struggles balancing multiple roles and responsibilities? Do you struggle with making your needs a priority? Are you noticing issues in your relationships with communication? Are you worried about making a change but know that you can't stay stuck where you currently are? Welcome to Harris Counseling Services, where we will walk with you on your journey to better. Welcome to a safe, nonjudgemental place where you can breathe, rest, be, learn more about yourself, and work to reach healing, balance, and wholeness. We meet clients between where they used to be and where there want to be. I work with clients to set goals that help them develop understanding, create a skill set to manage unhelpful thinking patterns, and create space for joy and connectedness. I also work to infuse spirituality and faith into the therapeutic practice for clients who are interested. Whether you are feeling scared, tired, depressed, or confused in your current situation, you don't have to walk this journey of change alone. We welcome all but have a special passion for serving Black women who desire to be seen, valued, and welcomed into the therapy space. Reach out today and get closer to the life you've been wanting to live. Note: I can accept insurance for clients in NC, but not GA.

ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression can be heavy burdens to carry alone. Any one of these can be a struggle and you deserve someone that is willing to aid you in lessoning the burden. I provide a caring understanding environment focused on developing skills to help you become more flexible. Our sessions will be casual, but we will dive into what you are struggling with. We will be looking at what is most important in your life and working together, we will develop goals that are in line with these values. My goal is to help you live a purpose filled life full of what you find most valuable. I'm an ACT(Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) Therapist. ACT focuses on developing skills to take action in areas that you value. For you this means I am going to help you develop psychological flexibility so you can live a life you find meaningful. There will be laughs and tears as we work to understand what value means to you then work to ACT accordingly. As someone with ADHD and who has suffered with anxiety and depression, I know how important it is a client and practitioner are on same page. To this end I offer a free consultation. So, feel free to reach out hassle free. (I will be able to offer in person Eco-Therapy in the near future and will provide a discount to all current and past clients.)

At Global Wellness Pathways, we help you unlock the human potential that already lives within you.

Our mission is to help you break through the limiting beliefs that are currently holding you back. We will help you build a personalized blueprint for success: one that aligns with your personal values and vision. Through coaching, consulting, and intentional ideation, we turn insight into strategy and strategy into action using SMART goals that lead to real, measurable progress.

I specialize in walking with people through healing from trauma, (both recent and childhood) and also enjoy assisting clients in finding healthy tools for living with and reducing experiences of anxiety, adhd, ocd and life stressors so that you can live your best life to the fullest!

There are times in our life when merely getting through the day becomes unimaginably difficult. You realize you can't shake feelings of sadness, anxiety, oppression or anger. Maybe you don't even want to get out of bed or you feel like you have conflict with nearly everyone in your life. That's where I come in. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, with specialties in trauma, sexual assault, family relationships and adolescents, I can help or help you find someone who can. While I identify as Christian, I welcome people of all faiths, and honor all people as the individuals God has created them to be. I am committed to fostering an environment of inclusivity and acceptance and I respect all people of race, ethnicity, color, culture, religion, spiritual practice, sex, age, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, relationship status or configuration, national origin, citizenship or physical or mental abilities. All are precious in God's sight and mine. As a former college professor and high school teacher, I am well versed in adolescent and young adult development, including sexuality, academic challenges, transitions to college life, social isolation, substance use/abuse, relationships, family conflicts, financial challenges, sexual assault and abuse, etc. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation.

Welcome! I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for disordered eating, eating disorders, and anxiety/perfectionism. I am extensively trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is an action-based therapy which helps individuals accept challenging emotions and experiences while doing what works and is meaningful to them - moving towards the life they want to live. ACT is an evidence-based treatment for eating disorders, as well as anxiety, depression, OCD, and chronic pain. For the past five years, I have worked in eating disorder treatment at all levels of care. I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor experienced in individual and group therapy with young adults and college students. In addition to supporting college students during their journey, I enjoy working with adult clients who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, racism-related and other complex traumas, and identity exploration. My style of therapy is relational, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive. I often draw from existential, gestalt, and narrative-based interventions. I can answer any questions you have about my approach in your consultation. In my free time, I enjoy writing poetry and making music with my bandmates. As a queer Black woman, I welcome all identities, orientations, and expressions in my office.

Hello, and congratulations! Whether you realized or not, you just took your first step on the road toward becoming a better you. Let’s face it – being a human can be tough. Life transitions happen and can be scary, sometimes shaking us to our core. Helping you work through your past, present, and planning for a brighter future is where I come in. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it, you are in the driver’s seat of your own life. With that realization comes responsibility but also power. It is my life’s joy to empower others to design the life that they have always envisioned for themselves. When you are ready, we will uncover barriers, bust through obstacles, and build you up to where you are ready to take on the world. Some of those barriers could be past experiences that are causing you to experience trauma symptoms or memories that can weigh you down like a backpack full of books. You may be able to carry on for a while, but in time that backpack is going to slow down your progress and ability to maintain present activities. One of my favorite quotes is, “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards,” by Soren Kierkegaard. Countless people before you have joined with a therapist or counselor and benefited from an objective view of their life and experiences. That is my goal, to look down from above and help you see things in a different light. Now for some information on my background: I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Music Performance from the University of TN at Chattanooga in 2013. I then went on to earn my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the same university in 2016. Since then, I have worked intensely with youth and families at a nonprofit agency. I have experience with many various mental health issues and diagnoses and I particularly enjoy working with family issues. I have training in several models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), Community Advocacy Project (CAP), and Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA). My therapeutic approach is collaborative, action- and goal-oriented. When we meet, I want to make sure you leave feeling validated but also with some tools to put into practice in your life outside of session. We will set goals together and regularly check in on progress toward these goals, determining where revisions may be needed. Also, no matter what life outside of session is like, I want to create a calm and safe space for you to be able to think and process clearly. If you have any questions about me or what to expect, feel free to reach out. I’m looking forward to working with you!

Finding a therapist can be a confusing and overwhelming process. Sorting through seemingly endless lists of names and faces when all you want is to connect to a real person. I would like to offer you an invitation for us to meet at no cost to you. We can talk a while and see if we would like to work together. I am here to help people who feel stuck in anxiety and depression to find their way through these challenging emotions to a sense of ease in a more authentic and satisfying relationship with life and themselves.

I’m passionate about this work because I have the privilege of walking beside people on their healing journey.

Have you or your child been feeling stuck? Have you started to question who you are and what it will take for your circumstances to change? Have difficult memories from the past started to creep back into your mind? Has the voice of outsiders and social media started to make you question your success? Maybe you're in the midst of a major life transition. Holding these thoughts inside while balancing daily tasks can be stressful. Being able to express yourself in a safe space can make all the difference while you begin to view yourself and your circumstances with new lenses. I provide my clients with a space where they can unpack their feelings, express their emotions, and develop strategies to move forward. I am a trauma informed therapist. I am passionate about educating clients on trauma and seeing their progress. I use an integrated approach to allow for an organic therapeutic journey. You can do this! Let's be honest, starting therapy can be a little intimidating. Contact me to schedule a brief consultation!
