Kelly Conlon
Hi! My name is Kelly and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with 7 years of experience working in mental health. I received my undergraduate degree in Childhood & Family Development from the University of Georgia and my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in California. In graduate school, I worked with college students, Alzheimer’s patients & their families, and also offered spiritual counseling. After graduating and moving back to Georgia, I gained experience working in a variety of treatment settings, including mental health hospitals, residential and outpatient eating disorder treatment centers, outpatient substance abuse treatment centers, and private practice offices with clients spanning many ages and presenting problems. I provide a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment, allowing clients to feel safe and capable of creating and living a fulfilling life. Seeking therapy and being vulnerable can be extremely difficult and I believe in treating my clients with the utmost respect and compassion along the way. I work with individuals, couples, and families with presenting problems such as: life transitions/ phase-of-life problems, eating disorders, body image, self-esteem, anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship or marital problems, family dynamics and clients identifying as highly sensitive. I draw from a variety of treatment modalities and operate from a client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs and personality in order to best help them achieve their goals. I will give you the push you need to learn you are worthy of feeling empowered and confident to take on life’s challenges and I’ll even throw in some humor along the way! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, exploring, hiking, traveling, being outdoors, reading, and spending time with my family, friends and fur-children.

Mary Cole
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Florida with years of experience working as a therapist. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, or past trauma, my goal is to help clients build resilience and feel more secure within themselves and their relationships. Clients leave me feeling empowered, understood, with self-awareness. Through a structured yet compassionate approach, I help clients: Develop emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings; understand and reshape relationship patterns to foster healthier connections; strengthen self-worth and boundary-setting to reduce people-pleasing tendencies; learn mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety. My counseling style is warm and interactive. By focusing on self-exploration and practical strategies, I guide clients toward greater emotional stability, inner peace, and confidence in their decision-making. My goal is to empower them to feel in control of their emotions, cultivate secure relationships, and break free from patterns that no longer serves. My practice hours are Tuesday and Thursday; 10:00 am - 6 pm; Fridays 10:00 am- 4pm. Please remember that Betterhelp (or sister site!) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away!” I look forward to working with you!

Eve Marcus
Hello, My name is Eve Pearson-Marcus. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia since 2009 and have worked in a variety of clinical settings. I’ve worked in hospitals, primary care clinics, met with clients in their homes, worked for a non-profit agency and counseling center, worked with soldiers and veterans in military settings, and had a private practice. In addition to my LCSW, I have also had a National Association of Social Work Advanced Credential in Case Management (C-ASWCM) in the past. That’s a fancy way of saying I’m good at connecting people with the resources they need! I would describe my primary therapeutic style as Person-Centered, but also may use Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Solution-focused, Eclectic, & Feminist theories at times. I have worked with a great variety of clients including individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, LGBT issues, drug and alcohol issues, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and attention deficit, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders. I have also worked with individuals with Highly Functioning Autism ( formerly Asperger’s Syndrome) personality disorders, sexual disorders including paraphiliacs, and pedophilia. I’ve worked with many women during my career as a therapist and have always found it especially fulfilling to work with young people. Perhaps it’s because I was once a young woman facing many challenges of my own, or that I have two daughters of my own. I completely understand how overwhelming it can be to feel alone when you’re depressed, anxious, or in emotional pain of any kind. Whatever you are feeling, believe me, your issues are very real. I commend you for seeking help, because it’s not an easy thing to do. People of all ages are struggling with careers, job loss, and financial worries. Loneliness is epidemic and was especially difficult during the pandemic as people were separated from important family, personal, and work relationships. I believe in helping my clients bring their strengths forward and into the light. While it can be difficult, if not impossible, to acknowledge your strengths when you’re depressed, I can assure you everyone has strengths. We all need extra support at some point in our lives and I feel counseling should be as natural as going to the doctor, or even taking a college course. We are meant to always be learning, evolving, and improving ourselves. Lastly, I am confident in my ability to help my clients and have an excellent clinical toolbox to share. I commit to providing my clients with a strong system of support, and will always provide an accepting, non-judgmental, caring and safe environment.
