Erika Gray
Psychologist, Psy.D
Why is it so hard to find a therapist? So many people arrive here exhausted from the search. I understand that your connection to your therapist is paramount to your healing. I offer a free consultation to give you a chance to see if we're a good "fit" with the hope that this can be a place to stop, rest and begin the process you've been longing to begin.

Matthew Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CRC, NCC
When you're experiencing emotional pain and finding it difficult to move forward, connecting with a trained professional is vital for your wellbeing. Each day, I'm committed to creating meaningful, positive transformation in my clients' lives. My primary goal is to genuinely understand you—your complexities and individual nuances. I provide practical, goal-oriented counseling grounded in respect for who you are, your distinctiveness, and your ability to heal and grow. Together, we'll clarify the changes you want to make within yourself; then, we'll work to turn pain into strength, challenges into wisdom, isolation into connection, and turbulence into peace.
Please see "Practice Details" below for additional information about my approach.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease.
If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I keep therapy pretty down to earth, even though I have a solid theoretical training behind me. I use humor a lot because I genuinely believe that if you're laughing, you're learning. I can help you understand where your struggles come from, and I'll give you real steps you can take to reach your goals.
I'm confident I can help you work through whatever you're dealing with right now.

Charonda P. Gardner
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
I work with individuals to heal and recover from childhood trauma, codependency, people pleasing, self-abandonment, poor boundaries, and low self-worth. I especially enjoy working with those who identify as Empath or Highly Sensitive, those who have experienced an “awakening”, those attempting to understand their purpose, and those in search of their authentic selves. I also enjoy working with other therapists, helpers, and healers as a therapist supervisor and consultant.

I am a trauma-informed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and children navigate life’s challenges.

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.

Mary Elizabeth Burns, MS, NCC, LPC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC
What makes my work different is that I meet each client as a whole person—mind, body, and emotions. I blend evidence-based therapies like DBT with somatic approaches and breathwork to help clients not just talk through challenges, but feel and release the stress stored in their bodies. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, PTSD, ADHD, disordered eating, perfectionism, and the pressures of high achievement, as well as divorce and co-parenting transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical: I help clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to create lasting change in their relationships, their bodies, and their lives.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
This is a space where you can exhale - where you don’t have to hold it all together. You’re welcome here as you are: messy, uncertain, grieving, hopeful, stuck, hurt, or in the middle of change. I often work with folks who feel disconnected from themselves or others as well as their own desires and needs. Together, we slow things down and listen for what’s happening beneath the surface (emotionally, relationally, and in the body).
I’ll meet you with steadiness and care, while also challenging the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Our work is about deepening your relationship with yourself and others, and moving toward a life that feels more connected and intentional. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to understand what’s underneath and shift what no longer serves you. If this resonates, please reach out. Let's chat about how I can support you.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I’m a licensed, doctoral-level, PSYPACT-certified Clinical Psychologist who works thoughtfully and collaboratively with adults of all ages. My goal is to help you build greater insight into yourself and your relationships, connect past experiences with the present, and move through the internal barriers that may be keeping you from a deeper sense of well-being and satisfaction in life. After over a decade of practice in New York City, I’ve developed a particular understanding of individuals who are high-achieving yet often hard on themselves — people who appear to have it all together, but feel anxious, self-critical, or stuck beneath the surface. I work best with individuals who are curious about understanding themselves more deeply — those who may be thriving externally yet long for greater ease, meaning, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported as you explore the roots of how you think, feel, and relate to others. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

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.
