Experiential Therapy
Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
This is a space where you can exhale - where you don’t have to hold it all together. You’re welcome here as you are: messy, uncertain, grieving, hopeful, stuck, hurt, or in the middle of change. I often work with folks who feel disconnected from themselves or others as well as their own desires and needs. Together, we slow things down and listen for what’s happening beneath the surface (emotionally, relationally, and in the body).
I’ll meet you with steadiness and care, while also gently challenging the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Our work is about deepening your relationship with yourself and others, and moving toward a life that feels more connected and intentional. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to understand what’s underneath and shift what no longer serves you. If this resonates, please reach out. Let's chat about how I can support you.

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.

Erin Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life throws a lot of things our way, but you don't have to go through it alone! I am passionate about helping people find healing and wholeness in relationships and within yourself. I walk alongside couples who are struggling to connect, fighting the same fight over and over, or working to overcome betrayal or trust issues. I also work together with individuals who want to be their best selves, but anxiety, identity issues, grief, or low self-esteem is getting in the way. You are not alone in this journey! Reach out today to get started on your path towards relief and healing.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling in your relationships, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, drained, or disconnected underneath.
I help adults build healthier boundaries, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and work through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level coping, offering a space where you can gain clarity, feel understood, and create meaningful, lasting change.
If you're ready to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to support you.
5 Years Experience

Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises a majority of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
