Richard S. Shapiro Ph.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
I’m Dr. Richard S. Shapiro, a Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist (ABPP), and Board-Certified Telehealth Practitioner (B-CTP-II) licensed in Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, and authorized to practice telepsychology across all 43 participating PSYPACT states. I have been in private practice since 1983, providing compassionate, evidence informed care designed to foster healing, growth, and lasting change. I specialize in video-based psychotherapy and deliver therapy with the same depth and rigor as I did in traditional face-to-face sessions. My clients appreciate that they can make progress without the burden of travel, and many find that telehealth sessions with me creates a welcomed sense of comfort and openness.

Millianys Garcia
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. As a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist, I understand the importance of feeling heard, respected, and truly understood. I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine therapeutic relationship from the beginning, because I believe meaningful change starts with trust. My clients have described me as warm, compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. I meet each person where they are without judgment and work alongside them to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you’re ready to take that first step, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy—you just need a safe place to begin.

Mallory Lamb
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many of my clients have anxiety that presents as overthinking, self-criticism, perfectionism, or overwhelm. This may show up in relationships, self-esteem, or practical daily life (procrastination, avoiding events). Together we will lean into anxiety to re-expand your life, and change patterns keeping you stuck. I take an active approach in session, with prompts, challenges, and encouragement. I primarily utilize relationally and developmentally informed Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style is a blend of process and practical, to gain insight and make change.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

City Mental Health Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.
