Taj Maddox
Counselor/Therapist, Associate Professional Counselor
You’ve spent a lot of your life being the strong one. Maybe you’ve learned to push through difficult emotions because slowing down never felt like an option. Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on, yet you struggle to feel deeply known, supported, or chosen in your relationships. If you’re exhausted from holding everything together, caught in perfectionism or people-pleasing, or stuck in the same relationship patterns, you don’t have to keep pushing through. Therapy can offer a soft, safe place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build relationships that feel more connected and fulfilling.
Taj is an Associate Professional Counselor under the supervision of Dr. Latrice Love, LPC-S (LPC009331).

Charonda P. Gardner
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
I work with individuals to heal and recover from childhood trauma, codependency, people pleasing, self-abandonment, poor boundaries, and low self-worth. I especially enjoy working with those who identify as Empath or Highly Sensitive, those who have experienced an “awakening”, those attempting to understand their purpose, and those in search of their authentic selves. I also enjoy working with other therapists, helpers, and healers as a therapist supervisor and consultant.

Adriel D. Johnson, Jr.
Counselor/Therapist, DBH, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, BCC
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.

Leandra Desinord
Marriage and Family Therapist, LPC
Who are you when no one’s around?
If you struggle to answer that question, you're not alone.
Maybe you've become really good at being who everyone else needs you to be. The dependable daughter. The successful professional. The partner who holds everything together. The woman who can handle just about anything — until you're alone with yourself and realize you don't quite know what you need anymore.
You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to get curious about yourself.
Who are you when no one's around?

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.
