Life can be overwhelming, it’s not always easy knowing the right steps when navigating it all. Balancing work, maintaining relationships, raising children, as well as life’s constant expectations, this can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and little time for ourselves. However, I believe that slowing things down is the first step toward healing. Finding a safe place that is supportive to work through life obstacles, this can provide strength and resilience ultimately helping you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Hi, I’m Demetrious Walker, a therapist for teens and women in GA and AL (Virtual Only). I support clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel good. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, grief, self-doubt, identity changes, relationship stress, or major life transitions. They often feel pressure to be strong, keep going, or have it all together—while quietly struggling on the inside. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or carry things alone.

I recently retired from the Wellstar Hospital System where I provided therapy, evaluations and case management on the behavioral health unit and in the emergency departments.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discover together your desired outcome and any specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Much of my work focuses on men’s relational and emotional well-being, especially those who present as high-functioning while quietly struggling. My clients often initially measure their identity or worth through success, responsibility, or likability within community. Beneath that, hidden shame, fear of rejection, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing have left them feeling anxious, disconnected, or unknown. I also support gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating the tension between authenticity and attachment, exploring how early experiences of conditional belonging shaped the ways they relate to themselves and others

Hi, I’m Abigail Kreisinger, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing therapy services in Georgia. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or struggling with constant worry, you’re not alone. Many clients also come to therapy feeling stuck around identity exploration as an LGBTQ+ individual, concerns related to disordered eating, or difficulty connecting with others and enjoying daily life. These patterns and coping strategies often develop for important reasons—they may have helped you feel safe or in control in the past. At the same time, you may find that they no longer serve you now.

Do you ever feel lost, alone, stressed and living in a life you never imagined for yourself? It's a normal human experience to get caught by the hard times in your life, but sometimes you get caught causes you pain and suffering to the point you don't know where to start to make it better. You start to feel like everyday is the same, and you hang on to a hope that life will get better somehow, but it doesn't change. When life begins to feel this way, you feel defeated, hopeless, and drained of energy. Sometimes when the world around you feels like its punishing you, you're forced to examine yourself at a deeper level.

If you’re feeling stuck in overwhelm, anxiety, trauma or self-sabotage and can’t think your way out—it’s not you. These patterns live in the nervous system and aren’t accessible through cognitive insight alone. Somatic work unlocks your body's natural capacity to resolve stuck patterns and restore balance.
By bringing the body into the conversation, completing motor impulses, and reorganizing around safety- deep, subtle shifts occur at the root level. This is exactly how you are wired to adapt and change. Somatic work can be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy—or stand alone as an effective path to healing.

I have nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare, emergency medicine, physical therapy, and mental health services.
