Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Macon, GA

Hello! My name is Donna and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I am also a spouse of a United States Army Veteran. I have traveled the world and in doing so I have been able to build meaningful relationships with others. I would love to help you regain your sense of worth and well being. I love working with adults and children. I enjoy helping people regain their confidence and move forward with a new positive mindset.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services, and I currently provide telehealth services in a private, secure setting. I am passionate about what I do, and I believe in meeting people exactly where they are in their journey. My primary goal is to empower you to create and live the life you truly deserve.

H! I'm Anna Mae. I value real conversations, not clinical or intimidating ones. I use warmth, humor, and genuine connection to help clients feel safe opening up. At the same time, I’m comfortable working with deeper emotional pain, trauma, and life transitions. Therapy with me is supportive, honest, and centered on what you truly need.

I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.

Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

My educational background is in both Clinical and Community Psychology. I conceptualize and intervene with clients with an understanding of individual and environmental contributing factors. Additionally, I have significant experiences working with people across the life span and in various settings. I bring this rich experience to my work with clients.

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
