Kristine Berard-Whitfield
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. As a clinician, I have worked in both family counseling and holistic wellness settings.
My areas of specialty are Individual Therapy, Teletherapy, and Hypnotherapy. I work with a variety of different concerns women face, such as Trauma, Adjustment Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Shame, Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Health/Caregiver concerns. My theoretical approach utilizes the underpinnings of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, while incorporating perspectives and interventions from Narrative, Feminist, and Existential Theories.
Our work together is designed to be collaborative, emotionally supportive, and dynamic. We will explore the fundamental elements in your life, with a focused respect for the meaning you have made of your experiences. We will look for creative new ways for you to define, manage, and overcome obstacles. The guiding principle of our work will be empowering you to heal and flourish.
In addition to being an LPC, I am also a certified hypnotherapist. For clients interested in exploring hypnotherapy, the process of guided relaxation and subconscious awareness can be used to encourage healthy habits, reduce anxiety, or shift emotional blocks. Hypnosis is the intentional setting of your internal compass, and it can be a powerful tool toward self-determination.

Eve Ruby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Wherever you’ve been, however you’ve arrived, I’m glad you are here.
To me, therapy is about taking time and space to listen to our bodies and emotions, with the hope of allowing us to reconnect with our inherent wisdom. We don't lose touch with this wisdom by accident. Trauma, unhealed wounds, and oppression separate us from our wisdom and intuition, and impact our ability to access all parts of ourselves. You and your body carry so much, from the grief and resilience of those who came before you, to the stress of everyday life. You were never meant to carry it all on your own.

Dr. Ellen Brackup
Psychologist, Ph.D.
So many therapists to choose from! It's overwhelming, right? What should you look for in picking a therapist? Someone who is enough like you that you can connect, and yet different enough that you can grow. It's hard to tell that from profiles, but you'll make the right decision.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Depression and anxiety can impede our judgment, making us feel disconnected from the world around us. This can result in feelings of paralysis, an inability to create necessary changes in our lives, and a persistent engagement in negative and damaging patterns of thoughts and behaviors. You don't have to go it alone. I can support you in your efforts to change.
I am an empathetic, compassionate, engaged therapist who has been extensively trained in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, eating disorders, and more. I use evidence based modalities, such as CBT, ERP, and DBT. I fully believe that our minds and bodies are connected, and bring my knowledge, skills, and training as a yoga and meditation teacher into my sessions with client.

Cori Ross
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Psychotherapy is for anyone looking to improve their life and learn more about their patterns of behavior. I utilize the latest research-backed therapies with my clients, and I draw upon both my professional training and my personal experience as a therapy client, myself. I enjoy introducing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to my clients as a way to live a fulfilling life, in spite of life's challenges. I customize each therapy session to meet the specific needs of the client. I value humor, warmth and confidentiality and ensure that my clients feel comfortable.

Antonio Cordero
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, Ed.M.
Have you focused so hard on achieving success, that you neglect to examine your own needs? Do you recognize that trauma from your childhood still impacts how you engage with the world today? Are you seeking a therapeutic space that acknowledges you as a whole, complex person while you work towards your goals? As your therapist, I feel passionate about empowering you with tools to live a full, cognizant, and rewarding life.
As a Boston University Counseling graduate with a specialization in Sport Psychology, I work with clients committed to both well-being and performance optimization. My extensive training in Brainspotting for trauma, CBT, DBT, and Polyvagal Theory gives me integrated, evidence-based tools to address performance, trauma, addiction, mood, and anxiety concerns.
In our therapeutic work, we will develop an authentic relationship that balances challenges and support as we establish a collaborative partnership tailored to your goals and needs. I will work hard at building flexible, comfortable, and intentional plans of action to guide and encourage you as you pursue your unique therapeutic goals.
