Hi there, my name is Robert (Bob)Willis. I am a licensed LPC. My approach to therapy is client centered with an emphasis on Biblical teaching. It is my belief that everything a therapist needs to counsel as well as the needs of the client is found in Scripture both Old and New Testaments. After 40+ years in Pastoral Ministry I am convinced the Bible has the answers to all of man's delimas.

I’ve spent over 30 years helping people of all ages work through life’s challenges—whether it’s anxiety, grief, family struggles, or past trauma. Lately, I’ve become especially passionate about supporting those in high stress, helping professionals who carry a lot of emotional weight from their work. My goal is to offer a safe, down-to-earth space where clients feel understood, supported, and ready to move forward. My approach to therapy is grounded, flexible, and deeply client-centered.

I believe it takes courage to acknowledge when things feel overwhelming and ask for help. As a therapist, I am here to create a safe space where you can openly express yourself and provide the therapeutic support you need. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I view therapy as a journey, one that you will not have to travel alone. If you decide to start therapy with me, we will start wherever you are most comfortable. The first few sessions are for you to get to know me and for me to get to know you, no pressure. Then we discuss where to go from there.

You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices, but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. This is a no judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

Hi there, I'm Kisha! I'm a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia. My approach to therapy is helping individuals gain insight into themselves and their patterns. My version of treatment doesn't feel like therapy, it feels as if we're having a conversation and as you learn to become in tune with yourself. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning depending on your specific needs a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and solution-focused therapy will be utilized to assist in helping you to gain insight and/or resolution to your said problems.

Hi there, I'm Lea! Over the past 23 years, I've enjoyed working with individual adults, adolescents, couples, and families seeking tools to overcome challenges. I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive space for individuals to grow. I have an integrated style of theories in counseling such as CBT, Mindfulness, Trauma Focused, Solution Focused, Narrative, and Family Systems Theory. I believe the intervention should match the client versus "one size fits all." I believe real therapeutic change happens outside of the therapy session, so I often provide feedback and assign homework to practice between appointments.
