Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.

Edmund Buckman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LCAS

I create a calm, nonjudgmental space where you’ll feel seen and respected, and I blend evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or a major life transition, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and expertise. If you’re ready for real change—not just symptom relief—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
Are you experiencing anxiety and/or depression that is getting in the way of living your best life? Are you experiencing a life change? Maybe you just want someone to talk to and assist in communicating with others. Whatever the issue, talking things out and learning new skills can make all the difference.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.
