Allison Cava
Therapist, LMSW
With over 16 years of experience across diverse settings and populations, I bring a depth of perspective that allows me to meet people where they are. I often describe my work as “people service” — a genuine commitment to connecting with others in meaningful, human ways. As a therapist, I am committed to supporting emerging adults and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, self-image concerns, and personal growth. I work with individuals who feel stuck in repetitive or unhelpful thought patterns, overwhelmed by ongoing stress, or searching for clarity in the midst of major life adjustments. I provide particular support for those facing systemic challenges or significant transitions, helping clients strengthen their emotional, physical, and relational well-being in ways that feel sustainable and grounded. I am also deeply interested in exploring questions of life purpose and meaning — understanding how insight and clarity can guide your decisions, relationships, and overall direction.

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.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Depression and anxiety can impede our judgment, making us feel disconnected from the world around us. This can result in feelings of paralysis, an inability to create necessary changes in our lives, and a persistent engagement in negative and damaging patterns of thoughts and behaviors. You don't have to go it alone. I can support you in your efforts to change.
I am an empathetic, compassionate, engaged therapist who has been extensively trained in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, eating disorders, and more. I use evidence based modalities, such as CBT, ERP, and DBT. I fully believe that our minds and bodies are connected, and bring my knowledge, skills, and training as a yoga and meditation teacher into my sessions with client.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or stress, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world.
The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help, and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. The more support you gain, the better equipped you will be to take on bigger challenges and achieve more successes.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Charity Hochberg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, personality disorders, and neurodivergence, I utilize evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Gottman-informed approaches to foster lasting change. My work integrates a strong interest in the mind-body connection, helping clients recognize how emotional pain can manifest physically and empowering them through integrated healing. I particularly enjoy working with couples, especially where unresolved trauma impacts their dynamics, guiding them towards mutual understanding and co-regulation, and transforming conflict into connection.

Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I work with couples and individuals who are curious about their relationships. I am interested not only in what feels difficult, but in what those struggles may be revealing about who you are and how you want to live. I focus on how we love, how we defend against love, and what we long for when we cannot find our way back to each other. These patterns shape both our partnerships and our way of being in the world. Most conflicts that bring people to therapy nearly always point toward something that needs attention, a place where growth is trying to happen.
Relationships are living fields. They carry our histories, our cultural inheritances, and our unfinished emotional stories, but they also carry possibility. This is true of the relationships we have with others and the relationship we have with ourselves. Many of the individuals I work with feel a gap between their current reality and the life they sense is possible but have not yet been able to inhabit. I do not see this as pathology. It often signals that your development is asking for attention.
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy and have over twenty years of experience working across cultures and contexts. My orientation is dialogical, experiential, and psychodynamic. In sessions, I integrate somatic awareness and close attention to what unfolds in real time, such as shifts in tone, subtle contractions, or moments of distance. We slow these down so that reactions can become meaningful rather than automatic. We also make plenty of room for laughter. I find that humor is often the first sign of a pattern breaking, a way to hold the absurdity of the human experience while moving toward something more vital.
I work online with U.S. and international clients, including cross-cultural couples and expats navigating identity shifts and displacement. Culture, migration, and family history leave deep imprints on how we attach and how we imagine intimacy. These layers are always part of our conversation.
Therapy with me is steady, engaged, and deeply reflective. I trust that individuals and relationships carry an inner movement toward aliveness. My role is to help you recognize it, support it, and allow it to shape how you live, both together and individually.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease.
If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.
