Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self without worrying about being judged, misunderstood, or expected to fit someone else's idea of who you should be. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, with space for both honest reflection and practical change. I don't believe my role is to tell you who you should become. Instead, we'll work together to understand what is happening in your life, explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, and determine what meaningful change looks like for you.

Conor Hogan
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Hello, and welcome to my page. I’m Dr. Conor Hogan, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist. I specialize in helping adults process trauma and its effects, including depression, anxiety, and sexual concerns, using EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and DBT-informed skills.
I’ve worked with people across the lifespan in community mental health, hospital, and correctional settings. That experience taught me that people are generally doing the best they can with their circumstances, and that everyone has the capacity to change.
Therapy can be confusing, messy, emotional, uplifting, insightful, tiring, or none of the above. All of those responses are valid. I meet you where you are, and we work together to help you reach your own conclusions and a sense of inner safety. I believe you are the best expert on your lived experience.
If you think I may be a good fit, I offer free 15-minute phone consultations. Use the contact button on my profile to set one up.

Adriel D. Johnson, Jr.
Counselor/Therapist, DBH, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, BCC
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.
