My approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Narrative, Dialectical (DBT), and Family Systems therapies. I am passionate about increasing the accessibility of mental health services in marginalized communities and providing culturally competent mental health care.

"Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it." As a clinician, I am always honored to be a part of the journey to healing and self-discovery. I am a licensed professional counselor who enjoys individual and family treatment with pre-teens, adolescents, adults and couples. I find inspiration in assisting individuals and families find healthy perceptions of themselves while strengthening the foundations of family and self. I have over 10 years of experience working in various clinical settings.

From the first session, I encourage hope and inner strength in all of my clients. It is my view that all individuals have good qualities, the capability to do well, and have the desire to make changes in their lives. In addition, I believe that negative thinking has a strong effect on people's behaviors and that if they can shift their thinking in a positive manner, they will be motivated and drawn to more pleasant outcomes. I have conducted individual, family, and group therapy in areas such as major life changes, depression, anxiety, and teen issues.

I am happy that you have chosen to take a deeper look into your life, you are experiencing extreme bravery. As a therapist, I believe that there is a cause for every behavior and response. My role in your journey is to assist you in finding the root of your stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, codependence, and other life altering events and emotions that have disturbed your mental health. My therapeutic environment is designed to be a safe place to identify yourself and your experiences for growth and healing.

Dr. Mercianna Oliver is a licensed professional counselor who works with clients to provide individual counseling and coaching services. Mercianna believes in empowering clients to be their most authentic selves by focusing on the power of narrative and self-talk to redefine their stories.

After completing my undergraduate studies at Mercer University, I embraced the life of an entrepreneur. This journey brought many valuable insights that enhanced my understanding of human lived experiences. To a greater extent, this period heightened my ability to effectively connect and empathize with people of all walks of life. Over time I have adopted techniques from many disciplines within the field of psychotherapy. DBT, CBT and Solution Focused Therapy are those I most frequently employ. They offer much needed practical tools for patients in moments of acute crisis and provide the critical avenues to hope and motivation.

I am passionate about working with teens/young adults (16+) as they navigate anxiety, depression, complex trauma, life transitions, and building healthy relationships. With a genuine interest in understanding their perspectives and fostering healthy communication, my goal is to empower teens/young adults to overcome obstacles, build self-esteem, and thrive emotionally and mentally during this crucial stage of their lives. As a therapist, I also enjoy working alongside perinatal and postpartum individuals with concerns including anxiety and depression, grief/loss, parenting, and adjusting to motherhood.

Are you the kind of person who feels like they never have a peaceful moment? Your mind races from one anxious thought to the next. You’ve never quite understood this about yourself before, but you are now putting the pieces together. The experiences of your childhood (or your past) always left you wondering. What difficult thing would happen next? To cope, you tried to anticipate (the anxious thoughts!) what would happen next to keep yourself out of the “line of fire.” But you are an adult now, and you want to reclaim your peace. You know that you have more control over deciding how your life will go.

I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma recovery/healing, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, chronic stress, relationships, and adjustment to a variety of life transitions and circumstances. When necessary, I integrate mindfulness, spirituality, and emotion-focused techniques into my therapy approach.

My intention in working with you is to increase your independence so that you can live a comfortable  and happy life. When working with you , I will consider multiple factors such as thought patterns, spirituality, body and mind. I began studying psychology in 1996 and obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Kennesaw State University (summa cum laude) and Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Georgia State University

I enjoy working with both couples and individuals. Couples therapy can consist of troubles with communication, sex therapy concerns such as education, dysfunctions, lack of desire/interest, pain in sexual activity, medication side effects, and anxiety/depression related to sexual issues, post-affair recovery, and relationship conflict across the lifespan. I also work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, relational problems, including family systems. Starting this journey can feel awkward at first, but I am here to provide a safe environment for you to process and address a variety of your concerns.

Hi, I’m Shatevia. I believe that learning to love and honor yourself is a worthy goal. I help my clients learn tools that allow them to have inner peace, joy, and a sense of purpose. I help adults and teenagers better manage their focus, anxiety, depression, and fitting in at work or school. I support clients with the following: Depression (lack of motivation), anxiety, ADD/ ADHD (focus, attention to detail, and poor communication), adjusting to transitions, becoming more of yourself, managing culture issues, anger issues, and childhood trauma. Regulating your emotions (like anger explosions) may also be a challenge.

I am pretty traditional in my beliefs about the purpose of therapy, but not your traditional therapist.I do not sit with a notebook and write down everything you say with a hmm at the end before I collect my fee.I am interactive and even directive sometimes. I guess that's why I work well with teenagers:) So, if you want therapy to be fun, I'm your gal. My specialty area has been adolescents and addiction for over 30 years, but I see adults too (codependence, divorce, parent alienation) etc. I am also a past President of LPCA, and operate a new virtual business called ProjectEvolve.com. It is an alternative to social media for kids.

My passion is working with kids (10+), teenage girls, and young adult women facing challenges such as anxiety, sports performance, life changes, friendship struggles, depression, self-esteem, and perfectionistic tendencies. The clients I support are high-achieving, motivated, and goal-driven individuals who are often silently struggling on the inside. My goal is to assist clients in developing the skills and mindsets necessary to reach their full potential. I support my clients by offering them unconditional encouragement while building upon their strengths and talents.

How are you feeling emotionally? I specialize in helping individuals identify, acknowledge, and develop understanding how their emotions show up in their interactions and discover who they TRULY are, accept and affirm their true selves, and make choices that lead to a more fulfilled, integrated, and intentional life. Sessions with me are typically relaxed and informal and I can help you develop goals to help clarify your situation, consider your options, and make decisions that are the best fit for you.
