Hello, my name is Kellie Harrison and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing and licensed in the state of Georgia. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee and I moved to Atlanta to obtain my Masters in Counseling at The Professional School of Psychology at Argosy University Atlanta. I graduated with my Masters in 2013 and have been practicing with licensure since then. I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have experience in the hospital setting working with psychiatric patients and conducting group therapy with youth, adolescents, and substance abuse patients. I have worked in counseling agencies administering a wide range of assessments, conducting group therapy, and working with individuals and families. I have worked with individuals (children and adults) who have suffered severe trauma, abuse, neglect, stress, depression, anxiety, ADHD, mental breakdowns or episodes, grief, family conflicts, and strained relationships. I have worked with parents who need guidance on parenting children (biological or foster), a want to connect better with their child, and how to keep their sanity through those rough patches. I have helped individuals conquer their fears, improve on self-esteem and self-confidence, decrease in anger outbursts or aggression, assess their life goals and get on a pathway to success and improve on their quality of life. I like to have people recognize the strengths that they possess and guide them to use it to the best of their ability.

Hi! Welcome, my name is Kate. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I graduated from Georgia State University with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling, and since then, I have been practicing in the field. I have worked in hospitals, inpatient units, schools, community settings, and private practice. I believe therapy at its best can be a profound and life-changing experience. I think the fit between therapist and client is essential. I like to structure my therapy session collaboratively, and my approach stems from what the client is telling me. I want to listen to understand, to comprehend the world the client describes, and to truly see the individual with empathy, understanding, and warmth. When I am working with a client, I hope to foster an open, judgment-free environment, where we work to increase self-awareness and self-acceptance. I have experience assisting clients in all stages of life, presenting numerous concerns. I have counseled adults, children, and adolescents. I have experience working with many issues, including but not limited to trauma, grief, stress, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and behavioral concerns. I also work with folks where things are going reasonably well, but they want to see if things could work even better. I believe the healthcare field is moving to an individualized approach, and I conceptualize my counseling with a similar focus. I draw from several theoretical perspectives in my practice. I am particularly drawn to a holistic/eclectic approach, Solution- Focused, Person-centered, CBT, mindfulness-based CBT, emphasizing the mind-body connection, and I implore creativity whenever possible. We only get to do this life once, let’s give it everything we can! Reach out if you have any questions, I am here and ready to work with you. “We bring a deeper commitment to our happiness when we fully understand, that our time left is limited, and we really need to make it count.” - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross ( Swiss-American Psychiatrist/Psychologist)

“Change the person in the mirror, and your world will change!” Hello! My name is Donya and my goal is to inspire hope; and assist clients to heal and change and be the best version of themselves. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master’s in Clinical Counseling/Marriage and Family from University of Northern Colorado in May 2010. I have over fifteen years of experience in working with mental health, personal crisis, and relationships. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and groups of all ages on issues ranging from addiction, anger management, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief/loss, personal challenges, relationship issues, stress, trauma and many more.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who chose this profession later in life because I have always had the desire to help others in ways that will really make a difference in their lives. I am empathetic and a good listener. I provide emotional support to my clients without judgment. Many of my clients have suffered from trauma, isolation, and rejection from family and friends. Some of my clients have experienced episodes of self harm, suicidal ideations, and suicide attempts. I primarily use a client centered approach, as I believe that clients are capable of making the right decisions for their lives with the right support. In addition, I use other therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, anger management, motivational interviewing, and coping skills for anxiety and depression. I prefer to work with adults, but will work with older adolescents as well. Mental health is as important as physical health, and when one suffers, the other suffers as well. So many people do not seek the help they need because of fear of being labeled or stigmatized. As human beings, we are creatures of memory, and sometimes our pasts keep us from becoming the person we want to be. I want to be the one to help you become your best self.
