Hi! My name is Cassie. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both GA and SC. I am devoted to helping individuals grow and overcome their obstacles in life. I have worked with clients from all walks of life. I am able to work with anyone.
I have over 11 years of clinical experience, in the areas of women's issues, anxiety, and depression and LGBT issues. I am a trauma trained clinician who specializes in first responder, military, and sexual trauma.
I have been practicing since 2019. I graduated with my Master's in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in 2019. I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision at the University of South Caroline. I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety and depression, grief, and those in the LGBTQIA community.
Immediate availability for new patients! I prescribe medicine, supplements, minerals, and/or herbs to children and adults who struggle with anxiety, autism, ADHD (in children), OCD, depression, addiction, bipolar etc. I will work with your therapist or help find one who is a good fit for you!
Have you ever felt like you're accomplishing everything but still feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied? Do you give so much of yourself to others that little is left for you at the end of the day? Does your child's behaviors (fighting, defiance, truancy, argumentative) leave you wondering what's really going on beneath the surface. It just might be time to take a deeper look.
I’m Tiana Welch, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, providing telehealth therapy for children, teens, and young adult/adult women. With six years of experience, I have supported clients facing many challenges, including mental health concerns, behavioral issues, and substance abuse. My passion lies in helping children, teens, and families take a deeper look at behaviors to uncover the root causes, and in supporting young adult and adult women as they peel back the layers of perfectionism, burnout, and societal expectations to reconnect with their true selves.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy attending Pilates and spin classes, coloring, painting, reading, and exploring new creative hobbies like learning to sew (this month).
Dr. Maher is a licensed psychologist specializing in individual psychotherapy for adults. With extensive experience in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and stress management, Dr. Maher is dedicated to helping clients achieve meaningful, lasting change. His approach is often described as "down-to-earth," fostering an environment where clients feel comfortable, understood, and motivated to engage in their therapeutic journey.
Having worked in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals and outpatient clinics, Dr. Maher brings a wealth of experience in addressing the diverse challenges his clients face. He offers a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, tailoring each session to the unique needs and goals of the individual. His therapeutic style integrates a variety of evidence-based techniques, including motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help clients build resilience, manage stress, and improve emotional well-being.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a master’s degree in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I also hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling, with honors of distinction from Capella University. I am a trained mediator who loves the opportunity to allow clients to be exactly who they are, while they figure out who they want to be.
I work with adults who are coping with chronic medical conditions, major life changes, and the motional weight that can come with navigating the healthcare system. Many of my clients are adjusting to new diagnoses, dialysis or kidney disease, disability, caregiver stress, or the anxiety and depression that often accompany health challenges.
As a medical social worker, I bring a strong understanding of how physical health and mental health intersect. I help clients process loss, rebuild a sense of control, and develop practical strategies to manage both emotional and day-to-day stressors.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and owner of Holos Psychiatry. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults, and specialize in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and depression. I provide holistic, integrative care tailored to each individual.
My name is Samantha Miller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in Art Therapy. My passion is to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can explore their experiences and move toward overall wellness using their own unique strengths.
While I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices, I believe that therapy should be as individual as the person receiving it. I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, with experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.
In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.
