I am a Licensed Master of Social Work. In this day and time Mental Health is something that is not only overlooked but often misunderstood.  I strive to provide needed support for my clients no matter what life challenges they may be facing. I work with them to pilot through these challenges of life, whether they are personal, with family, or with peers.  My ideal clients are millennials who find themselves facing challenges navigating through the transition to adulthood. In many cases, this transition can cause stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues.

Seeking healing or emotional support is an act of vulnerability and I work to create a welcoming atmosphere based on honesty and trust. I am a easy going and believe offering supportive space for anyone is the highest form of empathy. I am a firm believer in supporting clients on their journey to recognize their individual strengths. My experience is based in working with children, teens, individuals, and families who are having difficulty navigating their journey through life. Specifically focused on: emotional regulation disorders, ASD, ADHD, trauma, social skills, anxiety, depression, family conflict, self esteem, grief, anger

We queer folks move through society differently than cis-het folks, and that comes with both difficulty and a whole lot of beauty. While I work with folks who hold various identities, including het-folks, my speciality lies in working with members of the queer, trans, and gender-diverse communities. I strive to create the safest, most affirming, and empowering space possible for you, where you feel comfortable bringing in and exploring your genuine, truest self. My aim is for our work together to lead to a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others, as well as more choice and freedom in how you live.

As a client-centered therapist, I believe in the human capacity to "self-actualize." In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when you're able to reach your full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this work. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I am in the empathy business. I use connection and evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients clarify their "why" and navigate a path to deeper fulfillment—professionally and personally.

Hi! I am Dr. Malissa Collins, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, families, and couples. My Ph.D. is in Marriage and Family Therapy. My approach is warm and compassionate. My focus is to meet clients where they are and teach them ways to successfully navigate through life to meet goals. My clients appreciate my warmth, nonjudgmental style. It helps to make them feel relaxed and confident.

Therapy is a deeply personal experience. What works for one person is not going to work for the next. For those who have tried therapy and not received the results you’ve wanted, keep trying. One therapist, treatment, or modality does not fit everyone. The fact that you are scanning through Psychology Today profiles to find the right fit for you is a small victory in itself. My goal for each client is to figure out what works for you and help create the life you want. I use humor, validation, authenticity and directness in my therapeutic approach.

Tara Pasha, Psy.D., has experience working with clients presenting various life challenges and she is well-trained in treating diverse populations using a wide-variety of treatment modalities. Dr. Pasha has worked in hospital settings, as well as in public and private community mental health. Within the concierge therapy framework, Dr. Pasha is now providing in-home and mobile therapy. Dr. Pasha tailors her therapy approach to the unique needs of each client and her ultimate goal is to provide the highest quality of care that empowers clients to become their best selves and lead their best lives.

I believe in the transformative power of creativity and holistic healing. I specialize in mental health therapy practices that are dedicated to serving a diverse clientele, including Creatives, Performing Artists, Athletes, BiPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and my LGBTQ+ community. I am here for clients seeking a healing space where they can process their emotional wounds, past traumas, and daily stressors; a chance for Self-Discovery as you embark on a journey of uncovering your true self and aligning with your authentic identity; and build resilience to navigate life's challenges.

It takes courage to break the silence that keeps our deepest suffering hidden away. Maybe you are able to disguise your pain, pretending everything is fine, while you struggle internally to feel okay about yourself. Maybe some of your negative beliefs and feelings about yourself have been with you most of your life. I will meet all the different parts of you with compassion and curiosity. Our stories deserve to be heard, and our feelings validated. If you desire to be more connected to yourself and others, and liberated from old wounds you carry inside, I would be honored to assist you on the journey.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first steps toward becoming a better version of yourself. The decision to pursue therapy takes so much bravery! I hope to honor such efforts by providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your past/present issues to provide insight into feelings and behaviors. This process lays the groundwork for reaching a place of greater fulfillment.

The brain/ body connection is a sacred space that we are all born with- and, it often gets overlooked. Our busy schedules, career + family demands and societal pressure can often pull us away from our authentic place of knowing. If simply moving from one day to the next has left you battling feelings of overwhelm, stuck-ness, or being "less than"- I invite you to curiously challenge that narrative! I am a trauma informed, body based therapist focusing on transformative work through talk therapy and other experiential modalities. Together, let's cultivate a safe place to work towards your goals while healing the body and mind.

Struggling with a sense of meaningfulness? Does anxiety, depression, or a past or current life circumstance complicate things? I would be honored to support you in your trying time. I will approach treatment alongside you and draw from various Cognitive Behavior (CBT, DBT, ACT), Strengths-Based, Exposure, and Intersectional Feminism orientations. I will support you as you work to adjust positively to your life challenges through learning and applying effective changes, coping skills, and mindfulness. I feel empowering individuality and embracing radical acceptance is key to you traveling a path you find most meaningful and worthy.

I am a Board Certified Art Therapist. When you give yourself permission to feel your feelings, have a creative outlet for self-expression, and focus on whole-body wellness, you become more resilient and capable of dealing with whatever life throws your way. You deserve to live authentically and to be emotionally well. Give yourself time and space to heal, and do it creatively. I'm here to provide you with life-enhancing art experiences. No judgment here, just a space for you to be you.

Making the decision to begin therapy can sometimes be difficult, but I believe that therapy can be a powerful experience for anyone who has the desire to begin the journey toward living the life they desire and deserve. I can provide a safe and confidential space to explore your unique life experiences, gain insight, and learn healthier ways to cope with life’s chaotic challenges. I tailor my treatment perspective to each individual client in order to provide the most personalized therapeutic experience in order to help you make the positive changes you've been searching for in your life.

Are you experiencing difficulty prioritizing, performance anxiety, or depression? Are you ready for a refreshing new eclectic Therapeutic approach? I would like to help open-minded and committed individuals work toward mutually agreed-upon goals. If you're committed to making a positive change taking outside assignments seriously let's come up with a plan that works for you.

Creating safe spaces where disappointments, shame, or fear can be processed through is my goal as a therapist. Whether your journey is short or long, I aim to come along side you for support as you find peace and personal growth. Whether it's working with young adults, families, or couples the goal is to create change that is tailor made for the individual or family unit. My therapeutic style is authentic, warm, and inviting; and I work from a strengths based perspective that promotes inner healing and self compassion.

Are you facing the loss of a loved one? You’re balancing caregiving, and feeling anxious. Your friends or family want to be supportive, but they don't know how. You want to feel prepared, but don’t know how? Or maybe you’ve already lost someone you love- a family member, a friend, a partner, or a pet? Are you struggling to find a new path forward without them? Maybe you just received a cancer diagnosis, or genetic test result? Alternatively, are you feeling stuck in a relationship with a family member, friend, or partner? Do you keep repeating patterns and you're not sure why? You're exhausted and looking for a new perspective?
