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.

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.

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.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
