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.

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.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you ever feel exhausted trying to figure out what "health and wellness" actually means? We are constantly bombarded by messages regarding the latest exercise trends, fad diets, and other quick-fix remedies that will supposedly make us feel better. But do you find that they actually make you more anxious, depressed, and worried about "failure"? I am a psychologist with 15+ years experience, and I help adults who are struggling with anxiety about their health. Whether you're worried about eating, fitness, sleep, chronic pain, or getting older, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and feel more secure in your health. We will examine your unwritten rules around wellness and learn about how those rule affect how you feel and what you do. Together, we will help you improve your relationship with your health and equip you with a set of tools to manage whatever stressors life brings.

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.

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.

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.

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,

Palmer McCluskey, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am very passionate about helping other people as I believe that every person is inherently valuable and worthy of living a meaningful and balanced life.
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. Much of my clinical experience includes working with adults and adolescents who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with those who are simply in the process of adjusting to challenging life circumstances and events (i.e., the loss of a loved one, starting a new job, coping with a global pandemic). In all of these cases, I believe that change and healing take place in the context of relationships with others, and I consider it a privilege to cultivate therapeutic relationships with people who are working towards making meaningful changes.
I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. As a clinician who also has an educational background in theological studies, I integrate spirituality and spiritual formation into counseling when desired by clients, always with the intention of helping clients achieve their goals.

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.
