Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Hiram, GA

I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Mercer University. I received my master's in clinical mental health from Mercer as well. I have been in practice for almost 10 years in one capacity or another. I have my LPC in the state of Georgia.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, or family conflict start pulling you away from who you want to be. I work with adolescent boys, teens, and adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional struggles and unhealthy patterns. Together, we focus on building confidence, emotional balance, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of purpose so you can feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control of your life and relationships.

K. Erica Hunkin, PhD, MSN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, is a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and a Master of Science in Marine Chemical Ecology from The University of Mississippi. Her passion for understanding the biological basis of behavior led her to pursue a PhD in Behavioral Neuroendocrinology at North Carolina State University. During her doctoral research, she focused on how hormones influence brain function and behavior, a natural extension of her lifelong curiosity about human behavior. She later transitioned into nursing, earning a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certificate from Johns Hopkins University. Erica has provided evidence-based, holistic care for children, adolescents, and adults in multiple settings, including community-based clinics, telehealth, and work with active-duty military personnel, reservists, and veterans.

Hi, I’m Samantha Adams, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with over a decade of experience supporting adults and teens through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with women navigating perimenopause, relationship challenges, and generational or attachment wounds. My approach is open-minded, nonjudgmental, and direct. I believe you are the expert in your life—and I’m here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, process past pain, and build the skills you need to move forward.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in a variety of settings, including schools, crisis centers, inpatient, and outpatient care. I draw from Attachment Theory, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to create a space where healing and lasting change can happen.

I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized mental health care. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and collaborative, where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence at your own pace.

My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric and co-occurring conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, substance use disorders, and personality-related challenges. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach to treatment, integrating psychopharmacology with psychotherapy-informed care, lifestyle optimization, mindfulness, and holistic strategies to support both symptom relief and long-term resilience.

I help by meeting you where you are. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what truly matters to you. Together, we create a treatment plan that feels realistic, respectful, and aligned with your life. You are never reduced to a diagnosis in my care — you are seen as a whole person with strengths, experiences, and potential.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive and collaborative space for individuals seeking help with emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s needs.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and adjustment challenges. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and helping clients feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives.

I hold a Master of Social Work and have experience in clinical and medical settings. I also supervise clinicians within a group practice, ensuring clients receive thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.
