Stephanie Featherston
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Div, MS, EdS,LPC
Relationship is a core part of being human. When relationships are stressful, life can become overwhelming. Sometimes, the problem can be that we've gotten onto auto-pilot in our relationships. We can stop being curious and begin assuming we know what's happening with ourselves and the other. My goal in relationship or couple's counseling is to re-awaken curiosity and compassion as well as to create intention and mindfulness. I enjoy helping build communication skills as well as exploring the ways that each person's history influences how that person functions in relationship. Whether or not the relationship continues, my goal is for my clients to understand themselves and each other better and to be able to make informed decisions about the direction for themselves and their relationship.

I absolutely love working with couples! It can be challenging working with two different personalities at one time, but the rewards are amazing when couples can come together and connect in ways, they never thought possible.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Most couples don’t come to therapy because they’re broken — they come because something vital between them has gone quiet, sharp, or out of reach. Maybe you keep having the same argument that never resolves. Maybe there’s distance, resentment, or rupture. Maybe you love each other, but you’ve forgotten how to reach one another.
I help couples slow down the cycle, so we can hear what’s actually being said underneath the defensiveness, silence, or blame. My work is rooted in emotional attunement, honest communication, and the belief that conflict, when held skillfully, can become a doorway to deeper intimacy.
This is not about who’s right. It’s about what’s real — and how each of you learned to protect yourselves in ways that now get in the way of closeness. Together, we practice new ways of relating that create safety, connection, and clarity — even in the hard moments.
Whether you're rebuilding trust, navigating a major transition, or simply wanting to feel close again, this is a place where your relationship can breathe, grow, and be truly seen.

I'm a certified Imago therapist, and I'm a strong believer in this approach to couples counseling.

Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy, working with couples online. Imago therapy is built on the understanding that conflict in relationships is not a sign of failure — it's a doorway into deeper connection and growth. In our sessions, we slow down the patterns that keep couples stuck and create the conditions for partners to actually hear each other, often for the first time. The work is both rigorous and tender.

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.
I really enjoy working with couples and families- helping people see things from another perspective and develop healthier ways to communicate with one another is a strength of mine. I have done extensive post graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy at The Ackerman Institute for the Family, The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and The Link Counseling Center where I completed a 3 year residency.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
Relationship and couples therapy does not have to begin in crisis. It can also be a proactive space to strengthen your connection and tend to your relationship with intention. In our work together, we slow things down so you can have the conversations that often get missed in the pace of daily life. We explore how you relate to one another, especially in moments of tension, and build new ways of showing up that support greater ease, clarity, and repair when conflict arises. My aim is to help you deepen emotional connection by fostering openness, responsiveness, and genuine engagement, so you can build a relationship that feels more connected, supportive, and aligned with what you both want.

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.
