Treatment modalities include trauma informed cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and motivational interviewing therapies. I take great pride in helping others grow through their journey called life. I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Georgia and Oklahoma.

My education includes a bachelor of science degree from the University of West Alabama in biology education and a master of science degree from Southern Nazarene University in counseling psychology. My master’s thesis entitled “Extended Family Support: Making a Difference in the Attachment Styles of Adult Children of Divorce” was published in the Journal of Scientific Psychology.

Nkechi “Kay” Saleh, APRN, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of experience providing compassionate mental health care across a variety of settings, including private practice, community mental health, residential treatment for at-risk youth, and substance use treatment programs. Kay works with adolescents and adults and has extensive experience supporting individuals with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and other neurodivergent conditions. She also has experience treating individuals with psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Her approach to psychiatric care is trauma-informed, evidence-based, culturally responsive, and collaborative. Kay understands that reaching out for mental health care, especially for the first time, it can feel intimidating. Her first priority is creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your concerns at your own pace. She takes time to understand the whole person, not simply a diagnosis or list of symptoms. Students often appreciate Kay’s warm, relaxed, and down-to-earth personality. She believes psychiatric appointments can be professional without feeling cold or impersonal. Clients have described it as refreshing to work with a psychiatric provider who feels like a “real human being.” And while she takes your mental health seriously, don’t be surprised if a corny joke occasionally finds its way into your appointment. Kay welcomes individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and provides inclusive, gender-affirming care. She works collaboratively with each person to develop an individualized treatment plan that reflects their symptoms, experiences, goals, and preferences. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, navigating ADHD or other neurodivergent challenges, recovering from trauma, or simply realizing that you may need additional support, Kay’s goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your mental health care.

Hello everyone! My name is Phyllis Williams. I am an Associate Professional Counselor licensed in the state of Georgia and New York. I am also the proud owner of Tuyee Holistic Services LLC. A little bit on my educational background. I obtained my Masters in Science degree from CUNY-Hunter College School of Education with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling, in addition to my Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology. A little bit on my theoretical approach. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy by applying a combination of therapeutic strategies to fit the individualized needs of my clients. I specialize in the use of, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Psychodynamic Theory with a Solution Focused & Person-Centered Approach.

I have worked in various fields of mental health namely applied behavioral analysis, developmental disabilities, OPWDD, DBHDD, case management, community intervention, crisis intervention, evidenced based practice & private practice. Healing does not have to look magical or pretty. Real healing is hard, exhausting and draining. The best part about being in therapy is that you do not have to do it alone. The work begins when you leave my office. With my support, I strive for my clients to independently utilize healthy coping skills learned in sessions to apply upon daily interaction with others & themselves. I aim to provide effective treatment to clients while exploring the underlying causes of each client’s mental health concerns. With a modern holistic approach to therapy over time, we can break the mental health stigma in our society.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you? Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship wearing you thin, or a life that looks fine on paper but doesn't feel like yours. You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Wendy, a counselor based in Atlanta, working with adults navigating trauma, grief, major life transitions, career stress, and the weight of complicated families and relationships. I offer sessions in English and Mandarin. My work is grounded in a Humanistic-Existential approach, drawing on DBT, ACT, and Gestalt.

I don't hold all the answers, but I am your fellow traveler. Reach out and let's explore how we might work together. 无论你正在经历人生转变、关系困惑，还是在不同文化、家庭与自我期待之间挣扎，你都值得被倾听、理解和支持。

There’s no pressure to be perfect or “fix” yourself in this therapy room, and I will encourage exploration of what living imperfectly may feel like. Life can feel exhausting, and I am here to make space for that. I aim to support you in finding a greater sense of authenticity, community and joy in their lives. My clinical training focused on working with clients through an intersectional lens, something that shaped my passion for feminist therapy, where oppression, power and privilege are all named in the therapy room. I recognize the privileges I hold as a white, cisgender, middle-class woman, in working with all clients. I acknowledge cultural differences in therapy, and make space for each client’s experience with any form of intersecting identities. I am well aware of the impacts of patriarchy, white supremacy, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, colonialism, and fatphobia on our mental health, and aim to integrate a decolonized lens into all work I do. I bring anti-racist, anti-oppressive and restorative justice approaches to my work and am willing to be called in by you for any missteps that may happen. The therapeutic relationship is a space where I encourage you to model your ideal relationships and communication, even when it may feel uncomfortable.

“To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.” – Buddhist proverb As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I provide a holistic, evidence-informed approach to therapy, helping adults navigate OCD, trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges with greater clarity and self-trust. I have specialized training in trauma and substance use counseling, and I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals managing OCD, including those experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns that feel difficult to break. My work is strongly rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supporting clients inbuilding psychological flexibility, reducing avoidance, and reconnecting with what matters most to them. I am also currently engaged in intensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention(ERP) to further strengthen my work with OCD. I tailor each session to the individual, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches to address both the mental and physiological impacts of stress and trauma. As a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), I incorporate mind–body awareness into therapy in a clinically grounded way, drawing from breathwork, nervous system regulation, present-moment attention. For clients interested in a more integrative approach, this can support deeper awareness and regulation without requiring prior experience in yoga or meditation. I place a strong emphasis on both insight and application, so our work goes beyond simply processing experiences. While there is always space for you to feel heard and supported, therapy with me is also focused on helping you build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful shifts in your day-to-day life. I approach therapy as a collaborative and supportive process, where you can feel both challenged and understood. Whether you are working through intrusive thoughts, healing from past experiences, navigating complex relationships, or seeking a stronger sense of alignment in your life, we will move at a pace that feels steady and sustainable. My goal is to help you build the skills, insight, and resilience needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me spending time with my dog, Sebastian, deep in my sourdough era, cooking something new, or planning my next trip. I am also a big music lover and really value the small, grounding moments in everyday life.
