Hi, my name is Oliver Harper and I possess a wide range of clinical experiences working within residential settings for adolescents; short term acute care facilities as a clinician and consultant with adults and adolescents; worked in various communities of Metro Atlanta providing in-home therapy and maintained a private practice for 15 years. I graduated with an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University; along with attending Seminary in Atlanta and obtained graduate degrees in Leadership and Apologetics. I also attended business school and worked on Wall Street and have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I have specialized and certificate training in REBT, Adlerian Psychology, DBT, and Parenting. I primarily use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as my primary treatment modality as it is very effective in reducing stress and anxiety while providing pragmatic tools for effective living. Over my professional, life I have had significant exposure to working with traumatized clients and have learnt interventions to address its impact. I have authored two books. I also incorporate Stoic philosophy as a therapeutic intervention in the service of clients. My therapeutic skill set provides a compassionate inquiry into the lives of individuals challenged with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, perfection tendencies, and an overwhelming need for approval and validation. My clinical training will facilitate clients to connect the dots between then and now and integrate the fragmentation at the root of their maladaptive patterns. I am a lifelong learner and have dedicated my life to being of service;I believe in the innate capacity of individuals and their potential to be their own rescue with guidance and to know that there is something distinct, unique, and specific about each of us and my clinical task is to guide each individual to share that belief. The therapeutic relationship is a sacred trust and it is a privilege to be a witness to the inner world of others and to support them in their discovery, recovery, and integration of their best self. Allow me to journey with you and I promise to be present with you all the way to a better version of yourself by strengthening your identity capital.

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 8 years of experience providing effective counseling services to individuals, couples and families struggling with a wide range of mental health issues. I specialize in working with adult & Teen clients and have a proven track record of helping them overcome their challenges and achieve their personal goals. I received my Master's degree in Counseling from Valdosta State University and have since completed advanced training in several evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative therapy. I also have extensive experience working with family members or caregivers of clients with severe and persistent mental illnesses, through training in Cognitive Beck Restructuring Therapy (CBRT). I believe that every individual and couple has unique strengths and challenges , and I work collaboratively with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. I also try my best in each session to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach is solution-focused, meaning that I work with clients to identify and build on their existing strengths and resources, rather than solely focusing on their problems and deficits. I empower my clients to make positive changes in their lives and provide them with the tools and skills they need to manage their mental health symptoms effectively. Some of my past clients have described me as empathetic, insightful, and skilled at helping them identify and overcome the barriers that have been holding them back. I take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the influence of diet, physical health, social supports, and other environmental factors on my clients' well-being. If you're a couple, adult, or young adult struggling with mental health challenges and are looking for a therapist who can help you achieve your goals and live a fulfilling life, I may be the right fit for you.
