Tom Adams
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MA, LCMHC
Verified
Your suffering can take many forms: depression, anxiety, addiction, loneliness, isolation, and alienation, to name a few. Or perhaps you just feel misunderstood, abused, or neglected in your romantic, personal, or familial relationships. I help curious people like yourself explore your own unique forms of suffering by providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment in which to talk about them. Having a regular time and space where your voice can be heard by a skilled therapist is the first step toward changing old, unhelpful patterns into newer, healthier ones that reduce suffering and bring more joy and satisfaction.
Andrea Bishop
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I look at your concerns in the context of your childhood experiences, your current family and your life environments. These patterns repeat themselves. People pick up on cues that communicate what you expect out of them and what they expect out of you. These patterns are no accident, you create them! The good news is you can change them! You are like a magnet, and I help you identify what you're attracting and we change your patterns of attraction to healthy ones. It takes practice, but it can be done, and it will affect the rest of your life!

Hi I'm Alison Cross! I am a psychotherapist, and I provide both in person and virtual services in Georgia and North Carolina. It’s important to have an idea of what feels like the right fit when you’re looking for a qualified person to talk to. The problem is, how do you know? So here's what it looks like with me. When my client leaves our session, my goal is for them to feel heard and respected. I want my clients to feel like they’re talking to a real person. How else can trust be built? My style has been described as 'down to earth, gentle, and encouraging.' I also have a great sense of humor that comes in only when appropriate.

Amanda Watkins
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC
Verified
Life is full of change and transition. Sometimes, we choose to change and we feel in control. Other times, change happens without our permission and it feels like someone else is making all the decisions for us. Whether you choose change or not, the process can take a toll on your emotional/physical/spiritual health, your relationships, and your sense of purpose in the world. It takes immense courage to create (or re-create) your life. It requires looking within to determine what’s truly important, rather than just accept what others tell you is right for you. I’m here to help you regain a sense of control, purpose, and peace.

Guided-Alchemy, LLC
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
You have BIG feelings and always have. You are sensitive to your environment, tuned into the subtle nuances and energies of the people/world around you. You feel it in your gut. You sense it in your body. You were bullied, shamed, or invalidated for these feelings growing up – told you were too sensitive. You learned to doubt, squash, numb, or project those feelings onto other people and things as a way to stay safe in a world that doesn't have time for such things. You people-please, overwork, over-think, detach. You run from your feelings until they suddenly consume you. Disconnect or engulfed. You crave harmony inside and out.
Taylor Maxson
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC
Verified
You are an adolescent or adult who wants to better understand and manage the challenges and barriers of ADHD. You likely know that this neurodevelopmental condition comes with immense strengths AND often many burdens, seen and unseen. You need a collaborator in making sense of where to begin (if looking for a diagnosis or recently diagnosed), what to expect, and to help you persist toward your desired and valued life. You may be a parent/s who wants to better support a struggling child, or you may be experiencing other developmental and/or executive function challenges like autism.

Hearing from the heart and seeking help with paralyzing personal challenges can be a daunting experience. Finding someone to connect with in the process of personal healing is half the battle to a solution. Keeping the person at the center of the therapeutic process is a goal for me. I have employed this approach for over 16 years of practice in Western NC. While this majestic mountain setting is a place of unique beauty it is not free of personal challenges that may need a calm and skilled approach to navigating life' s challenges.
ila counseling, Jen Auel
Counselor, MA, LCMHCA
Verified
Are you struggling through a family or life transition? Are you feeling weighed down by loss or grief? Even in the darkest moments, there is still hope. I have a passion for supporting people in difficult places, especially teenagers and young adults. I have deep empathy for people who are stepping into new seasons and long to equip them with tools to find joy amidst uncertainty. I enjoy working with adoptive and foster children, and I especially like working with their siblings, who are often the forgotten heroes in the foster/adoption world.
Miriah Feehery
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCMHC, LCAS, EMDR
Verified
Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

How many times have you had a difficult encounter with a coworker, boss, spouse or adult child and know that on some level that your old wounds showed up to come to your defense. Yet, the interaction left you feeling sad, depressed, defeated, or even frustrated because you’ve had that argument so many times before and had the same result. It’s natural to do the same thing over and over. However now you’re tired of getting the same result or no result and are ready to make a change.
