Ashley Omar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
I am a trauma-informed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and children navigate life’s challenges. Through my virtual practice, BrainPower Hour, I work with clients throughout Georgia who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in difficult patterns, or struggling with relationship issues, stress, or unresolved past experiences.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel safe to explore your story without judgment. I often integrate trauma-informed and parts-based approaches to help clients better understand the different aspects of themselves and develop healthier ways of coping and relating.
Many people come to therapy wanting clarity, emotional relief, or stronger relationships. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and reconnect with your strengths so you can move forward with greater confidence and balance.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
I'm Kaijah Bjorklund, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults move out of survival mode and into genuine freedom. My path to this work wasn't a straight line. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an Outward Bound wilderness instructor and counselor, studied holistic health and bodywork, and spent years developing a deep understanding of how the nervous system holds and releases pain. That whole-person foundation shapes everything I do.
I show up as my genuine self in every session — approachable, grounded, empathetic, and not easily shaken. I've heard it all, and I can help you hold it. We may laugh together, cry together, or simply sit with what's real. Whatever comes up, I'm here for it.This is an inclusive practice. My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals and communities that are often marginalized or underserved. You don't have to edit yourself here. All of who you are is welcomed.If you're ready to stop surviving and start living,

Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
i have been a licensed therapist providing therapy since 2014. As all therapists will tell you, this career is very rewarding and most of us love what we do - helping people. What makes me different is I am laser-focused on helping each and every client learn their own personal power and how they can replace sadness and fear with joy and fulfillment. We'll do this by addressing your past trauma's, family dysfunction, as well as distorted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that developed as a result of growing up and older in unhealthy relationships. Gaining awareness, changing these patterns, and learning effective coping skills, is key to stopping anxiety and depression (most common struggles) and any other issues that may be robbing you of the life you so desperately want and deserve. In addition to focusing on mental health, I'm currently working on another degree to get certified as a holistic practitioner, so I have a wealth of information regarding natural healing and steps toward physical wellness if a client wants or needs that type of information and support.

Joy Freilich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our partner, boss, children, or our parents. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to a new environment or new life circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to make changes in our lives. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and understood. Having an unbiased, non judgmental person to talk to can help.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to what lives beneath the surface — the unspoken tension in a room, the quiet ache behind someone’s words, the patterns that repeat in our lives no matter how hard we try to outgrow them. Counseling, for me, was never just a profession; it was I felt passionate about. Training refined it. Time and practice deepened it.
I’ve spent over 14 years walking alongside people in the most vulnerable, honest, and transformative moments of their lives. I’ve worked in residential settings, universities, private practice — and now run therapy group built around one core belief: meaningful change is possible when people feel seen, not managed.

Hadyn Jolly
Counselor/Therapist, MAC, APC
I work with couples and individuals who want to understand how their past is affecting their present, especially in their relationships. Wounds that we carry around with us can cause us to struggle with things like anger, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. It can be very beneficial to have someone to guide you in unpacking your experiences to bring awareness of how you operate and what is behind the behaviors that you want to change. I would be honored to enter into your world to help you alter your unhealthy patterns and speak life into your negative beliefs about yourself so that you can walk in freedom and joy.
I am also a committed follower of Jesus, so Christianity can be incorporated into our sessions if that is your preference.

Inner Balance Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LPC, LAPC, LAMFT
Stepping into therapy takes courage, and if you are here, you are most likely ready for change. Sometimes two heads are better than one! We offer a welcoming atmosphere to find clarity, support, and growth. Our counseling practice sees life's challenges as opportunities to understand ourselves more fully. Our therapeutic process is collaborative; we will honor your journey with non-judgment, confidentiality, and respect.
You have likely found yourself here because something in your life is asking to be explored and shifted. You may be searching for a way to handle life stressors with more mastery, heal from past wounds, create stronger and more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others, or for help dealing with difficult life changes. Sometimes we need some support navigating the rough waters of life. When we are "in the thick of it" we must learn that we are not broken, and therapy is not about "fixing", but rather about developing self-awareness, inner kindness, and more emotional and behavioral options for responding to life's ups and downs. Painful emotions like depression, anxiety, and shame can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and hopeless. Therapy can help guide you in releasing your pain and finally start living a life that you love!

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
