Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Mcdonough, GA

I’m Shaunesse Bell, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I help people find their way back to themselves when life starts to feel overwhelming or heavy. I create a space where you can be real about what you’re carrying without feeling judged or rushed. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions, and I support high-achieving individuals and mothers who feel like they’ve lost themselves along the way. I specialize in burnout, identity, and emotional healing.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and Alabama and have been working as a therapist for 16 years. Currently, I am only seeing female clients in order to align with my clinical focus. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in faith-integrated counseling for women who wish to bring their spirituality into sessions. I offer therapy that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices, helping clients align their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While this is my area of specialty, I work with individuals from all walks of life and honor each client’s unique beliefs and values.

My experience is broad in that I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of issues and diagnoses, especially with those facing trauma, recovering from addictions, coping with anxiety and depression, and moving through life changes such as grief and relationship/family changes. I hope to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you in your journey.

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and other evidenced based practices, I assist those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future. While having a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, has provided me with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been the 20 years of hands on experience that has given me the emotional tools to help those take that first step to a new beginning.

Greetings! It’s Dr. Rashida Walker, professionally known as Dr. R or Dr. Walker, here to support you on your wellness journey. I have achieved a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and remain licensed as a Professional Counselor in Washington DC, Maryland, and Georgia. As an industry veteran, having worked in behavioral health spaces for well over a decade, I want to acknowledge the courage you are exercising to begin (or continue) your mental well-being journey and I want to ensure that you are finding the right fit. I am the Founder and Lead clinician of The Quiet Uprising Wellness Center, where we specialize in empowering BIPOC individuals facing various mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, boundary and communication struggles, transitions, trauma, and maternal mental health. Additionally, I find great joy in providing affirmative care to LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals and individuals who carry co-morbid physical and mental health conditions. With a commitment to evidence-based approaches and ongoing professional development, I strive to deliver tailored and effective treatment to meet each client's unique needs.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are. I work with people navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions—especially those feeling stuck or overwhelmed by change. Healing starts with feeling heard, and that’s at the heart of my approach. With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’m here to walk beside you—with compassion, presence, and evidence-based tools for healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns-- from everyday stress and life transitions to severe or persistent mental illness.

I provide therapy in a way that is warm, empowering, and honest. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful change.

I work with clients navigating depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family stress, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I see the process as a collaboration — one where your voice, goals, and pace matter. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to heal from painful experiences, I aim to meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge patterns that are no longer serving you.
