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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or stress, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world.
The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help, and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. The more support you gain, the better equipped you will be to take on bigger challenges and achieve more successes.

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.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, personality disorders, and neurodivergence, I utilize evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Gottman-informed approaches to foster lasting change. My work integrates a strong interest in the mind-body connection, helping clients recognize how emotional pain can manifest physically and empowering them through integrated healing. I particularly enjoy working with couples, especially where unresolved trauma impacts their dynamics, guiding them towards mutual understanding and co-regulation, and transforming conflict into connection.

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.

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.
