Tyson Miller

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life stress, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and start feeling more grounded and in control.

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, high-functioning anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Many clients come in unsure where to start or worried about saying the “right” thing. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are.

With over 18 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness to help you understand patterns, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space while also being direct and goal-oriented. I understand that many individuals come to therapy during difficult or uncertain times, and my role is to help you gain clarity, stability, and direction.

My approach is collaborative—I meet you where you are while also helping you move forward with practical tools and strategies. I value honesty, consistency, and building a therapeutic relationship that feels both safe and productive.

Sherri Jacks

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I’ve been serving individuals, families, and communities in behavioral health for over 20 years. My experience spans community mental health, substance abuse treatment, employee assistance programs, probation and parole systems, juvenile courts, and crisis intervention settings.

I’ve worked closely with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, court involvement, workplace stress, and family conflict. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when multiple systems — work, family, legal, or financial — are weighing on you at once.

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My role is to help you sort through what feels heavy, clarify what needs attention first, and create a practical plan for change.

I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding. I’ve collaborated with courts, DFCS, probation officers, and corporate employers — so I understand the pressures that can impact your mental health from all angles.

I'm JW "Cliff" Williams, I completed a M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015. I'm a Licensed Counselor in Georgia and hold National Board Certification through NBCC. I'm also a Master Addiction Counselor. My theoretical orientation combines elements of REBT, Reality Therapy, and ACT. Clients have described me as "down to Earth" and I like that description. My goal is to help you learn and discover the things about YOU which are intensifying your emotional difficulties. "It's not the things that happen that upset us, but how we think about those things." - Epictetus. You already have the power to make the changes you want. My job is to help you identify the power and provide you with the tools to achieve your goals.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Christina, and I believe therapy works best when it feels real, human, and—sometimes—a little humorous. I use a trauma-informed and narrative approach to help clients make sense of their stories and find new ways to move forward. My style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative; I view therapy as a space where you can safely explore the aspects of your past that still resonate today, while also discovering your resilience and inner strength.
