I work with individuals struggling with life transitions, relationship problems, anxiety and other painful emotions. I have over 10 years of experience treating adolescents and adults and everyone in between. Working with students and aspiring young professionals is a population I'm passionate about working with. I strive to empower clients through developing greater self-awareness, acceptance and motivation to accomplish their goals. Therapy is a powerful tool that anyone can benefit from when the courage and motivation is present and I believe should be accessible to all. I work with students and launching young adults on a sliding scale rate to prevent cost from being an automatic barrier to seeking support or trying counseling for the first time.

You've worked so hard to get where you are. Hours and hours in the library, in the gym, in the practice studio. You care about excellence. But all that pressure you put on yourself, wanting to be perfect and for everyone to love you? It's wearing you out. Stress, anxiety, constant thoughts zooming through your head. I'm glad you're here, and I hope I can help. I've been helping people just like you for almost two decades. People who have been super successful but also super stressed, anxious and sad. I am committed to treating the whole you, which means that an important step to feeling better is to look at all the parts of your life (physical health, relationships, work, self-care) and how those parts of your life are affecting how you feel and how you act. When you feel well emotionally, physically, and socially; your quality of life can genuinely improve. I hope to work with any of you who feel "stuck" in your lives; who are struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, or body image. I have a particular specialization in working with athletes of all levels; professional, collegiate, and recreational. As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Therapy is teamwork--we will develop a plan and goals that work for you to live your healthiest life!

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed and disconnected. Perhaps your relationship is stuck in a negative cycle and you can't find the way out. Maybe you are going through a difficult transition and could use support. At some point we all need help dealing with the changes, or lack of change in our lives. Therapy can be a wonderful place to work out how to take the next steps and find relief. As a liberation focused therapist, I understand the impact oppressive structures have on our mental health. I work with adult individuals and people in relationships to help them reduce the effects of harm, and find joy and calm in their relationships and community. Currently, I provide in-person care anr my Smyrna office and teletherapy for folks throughout Georgia, with a "Walk and Talk" outdoor option as well. About me: I am direct and warm, with a touch of New Jersey sarcasm. I love belting musical numbers and appreciate art in all its forms. I am a white, Queer, diasporic Jew and mama of two; a spouse, sister, daughter and auntie in a multiracial and multifaith family. I have had the honor to walk alongside folks on their career and mental health journeys in both the college setting and the greater community. I love the work I do both in the therapy room and as an activist and would be excited to be a part of your support network.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your relationship and worry that you’ll make the wrong decision? Have you had life changes that have been difficult to accept? Do you question if your anxiety will always impact your life? You’re not alone. While it can feel isolating, you’re not the only one experiencing anxiety and uncertainty. And, things can get better. I believe that anxiety doesn’t have to control your life or change your dreams. In therapy, I like to help clients learn healthy coping skills to decrease panic attacks and the impact of anxiety. I use mindfulness techniques (breathing skills), CBT skills, and narrative therapy to help my clients begin to understand why they struggle with anxiety. By doing therapy with me, you’ll be able to learn healthy coping skills to manage and explore anxiety, life changes, and relationship issues. You’ll have a space to process your experiences and work towards a better version of you. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out today for free consultation!

Living with thoughts that won't go away, feeling overwhelmed, and fear, shame and guilt have become the norm...struggling with body image and a cycle of yo-yo dieting that has gotten out of control. Memories just keep coming up again and again, and it seems impossible to shake the negative thoughts and stop repeating the same patterns. Why is life this hard? This constant struggle with paralyzing anxiety, fear of failure, and feeling not good enough makes every day seem like a mountain to climb. Alone. There’s no relief in sight and you wonder if it will ever get better, if happiness is even possible. Right now it’s just survival. That's where I come in. My specialty is helping you find hope and empowerment in the middle of the angst.

I've been there, and I know that having someone to walk along side you and help you figure things out can make all the difference in the world. This is a particularly challenging time in life, with demands and expectations coming from every direction.

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. Together, we'll look beyond symptoms to understand what's shaping your experiences, choices, and ways you've learned to cope. When it helps, we'll also build concrete skills: navigating hard conversations, regulating emotions, and making decisions that feel like yours. As a first-generation immigrant and former corporate professional, I know firsthand how disorienting it is to rebuild yourself on new ground. Being human is messy and layered. 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。

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.
