Courtney Chaney
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, APC
In this big world that we live in, we often find ourselves surrounded by people, but walking entirely alone. They don’t understand us and when we stop to think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand ourselves. The pain, fear, and other struggles become who you think you are, losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. You’ve tried changing your personality or appearance to find the love and acceptance you crave, but it’s only left you feeling empty. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and the pain becomes too much to handle and the feeling of being “stuck” has settled in.
Through our work together, you will find empowerment to face your struggles, strength to have ultimate freedom over your life and learn practical tools to apply to everyday life. My therapeutic approach is based on building a strong, healthy relationship with you and walking side by side through your journey of self-acceptance and healing.
You don’t have to do this alone. I can help you experience self-acceptance, worth beyond measure and ultimate freedom from self-judgment. I know seeking counseling can be hard, but help is within your reach. Together, we can walk through this journey to make meaningful and positive changes in your life. Call me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
Recovering from PTSD and trauma can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories of abuse begin to surface. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened and discover that healing is possible. We can also work together to build healthier coping skills that support recovery and help reduce reliance on addictive behaviors. You do not have to face this alone—take the first step toward healing today.

Alex Stachowski
Counselor/Therapist, APC, NCC, MA
You may look like you have everything together on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of yourself. Maybe your mind never seems to slow down. You’re struggling to feel understood, questioning your relationships or direction in life, or simply tired of pushing through instead of genuinely enjoying the life you’re living.
I work with teens, young adults, and couples who want more than a quick fix. My approach combines practical tools for navigating the challenges you’re facing today with deeper exploration of the patterns, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck.
My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative, but I also believe compassion and gentle challenge can exist together. I won’t simply sit back and agree with everything you say. Together, we’ll approach your experiences with curiosity and compassion while honestly exploring whether your current patterns and choices are moving you toward—or away from—the life and relationships you want.
At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change is not about eliminating every difficult thought or emotion. It’s about better understanding yourself, strengthening your relationships, and learning to move toward what matters most, even when life feels uncertain or difficult.
Whether you’re a teen struggling to feel understood, a young adult navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, or life direction, or a couple longing to reconnect, you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change.

Ashley Omar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
I am a trauma-informed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and children navigate life’s challenges. Through my virtual practice, BrainPower Hour, I work with clients throughout Georgia who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in difficult patterns, or struggling with relationship issues, stress, or unresolved past experiences.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel safe to explore your story without judgment. 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.
Many people come to therapy wanting clarity, emotional relief, or stronger relationships. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and reconnect with your strengths so you can move forward with greater confidence and balance.

Molly Stern
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT
I am a steady, compassionate presence for people navigating change, uncertainty, and the tender work of understanding themselves and their relationships more deeply. I believe therapy works best when it feels human—conversational, collaborative, and grounded in trust. With a calm, affirming approach, I aim to create a space where clients feel safe enough to be curious, honest, and open to growth. Whether you’re moving through relationship shifts, grief or loss, anxiety, or a major life transition, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you work toward clarity, connection, and meaningful change.

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.
