Jacklyn Byrd

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I’m Jacklyn (they/she), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, practicing since 2019. I specialize in working with queer and trans adolescents and adults navigating identity, life transitions, and trauma. I also love supporting neurodivergent clients who want therapy that meets them where they are — with flexibility, creativity, and respect for their lived experience.

My approach is somatic, relational, and affirming. I believe healing happens when we slow down, listen to the body, and build a sense of safety and connection — both within yourself and in the therapeutic relationship. Our work together helps you deepen self-awareness, strengthen your ability to stay present, and reconnect with your innate capacity for resilience.

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

Cana Rainwater

Therapist

Virtual • Griffin, GA


I am a licensed clinical social worker, meaning I studied both psychology and the context (environmental and social) that contributes to mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked with those recovering from trauma and addiction. Most of my clients are healing from experiences of violence, abuse, sexual assault, and/or neglect. In an effort to address symptoms faster, I obtained training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
