Quality therapy, no commute required.

Online therapy for Ohio adults and families — from a counselor who meets you where you are.

If you live in Georgia and have been looking for a therapist who truly understands adoption, relationships, life transitions, or the mental side of athletic performance — you are in the right place.

I hold telehealth privileges in Georgia (LPC-GA-1271) and am accepting new clients throughout the state. Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space.

You deserve a therapist who actually gets it. Whether you are in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or anywhere across the state — that therapist does not have to be local.

Let’s do the work in a way that works for you.

Specializations

I work with adults, couples, families, athletes, and adoptees who are ready to do the real work of understanding themselves — and showing up more fully in every area of life.

 

  • For adoptees, adoptive parents, birth parents, and all members of the adoption constellation. I am an adoptee myself and bring both clinical training and lived experience to this work. Available to Georgia clients statewide via telehealth.

  • Patterns, boundaries, communication, and the courage to show up authentically in your most important relationships. Individual therapy for adults navigating relationship challenges of all kinds.

  • Career change, loss, divorce, parenthood, empty nest — when the ground shifts, therapy helps you find your footing. For Georgia adults navigating major life changes.

  • For college and professional athletes, coaches, and high-level competitors in Georgia ready to give the same attention to their mental game as their physical training.

About Melissa

I'm a Louisiana-based therapist with a privilege to practice in Georgia — which means you get the convenience of telehealth with a counselor who brings real depth and lived experience to the work.

I'm an adoptee. I've navigated career changes, loss, and the kind of hard questions that don't have easy answers. I didn't become a therapist because I have it all figured out — I became one because I know what it's like to need a space where you can ask the questions that matter most.

My approach is warm and direct. I won't hand you a worksheet you could have Googled. I'll sit with you in the uncomfortable, challenge you where you need it, and help you build the kind of self-knowledge that changes everything.

Credentials: M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling | Licensed Professional Counselor | Trained in TF-CBT, Functional Family Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Adoption Competency (C.A.S.E.), Attachment Trauma, and Sports Psychology and Counseling.
