Hi, I’m Lori. Are you trying your best and struggling? Maybe you’re working while completing college. You may have a family to care for, and you may be so tired. There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone in the fight. Please don’t be alone. I’d love to help. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for 8 years. I’ve helped clients with anxiety, many of whom have experienced trauma, for 15 years. Reach out. Let’s talk about it. You can connect with me through Headway. My Headway link is below. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, I’m Amanda Pecha, LCSW, CSAC. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and certified substance abuse counselor with specialized training in addiction recovery, trauma-informed care, and integrated mental health treatment. I also provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for individuals working through traumatic experiences, PTSD, and long-standing patterns connected to trauma. I work with individuals navigating the impact of trauma, substance use, anxiety, and patterns of self-doubt or overwhelm. My therapeutic style is warm, practical, and collaborative, focusing on helping clients understand their story, break cycles that no longer serve them, and build the skills and confidence needed for lasting change. I use evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, CPT, CBT, and motivational interviewing—to support healing, reduce distress, and strengthen resilience. My aim is always to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel understood, validated, and empowered to move toward a more grounded and authentic version of yourself. Whether you're seeking support for addiction, processing trauma, or wanting to improve your overall mental and emotional wellbeing, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, break through barriers, and tap into their inner strength. Every person is unique, and my goal is to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the specific needs and preferences of each client. Expressive art therapy provides an alternative form of communication, particularly beneficial when traditional verbal expression may feel limiting. Artistic expression allows for the articulation of emotions, experiences, and narratives that may be challenging to express through words alone. The focus is on the process of creation rather than the end result, allowing for a more profound and authentic exploration of emotions.

It is a tremendous privilege to be welcomed into people's stories. As a therapist, I do not take this for granted. I am deeply passionate about healing work, helping folks to find more meaning in their lives, and to remind individuals of their unique wisdom within. A therapeutic approach should not be “one size fits all”. I tailor my services to meet clients where they are on their wellness journey and learn more about their specific needs, hopes, and goals. Considering the mind, body, and spirit, I embrace a “whole person” approach to working with clients as I believe our healing power is maximized when we look holistically at our being. It would be a pleasure to connect with you. Please do reach out with a text, email, or call if you have any questions or curiosities. You deserve to remember how remarkable life can be. I work with a variety of insurance companies or have a flat $100/hr out-of-pocket rate if you will not be using insurance.

My name is Bintou Schoen and I am a board certified general adult psychiatrist. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, psychosis, social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship problems, etc. I received my undergraduate degree in Microbiology from the University of Georgia. I then attended the Medical College of Georgia where I obtained my medical degree. After that, I received my psychiatric training at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida. I perform psychiatric evaluations and formulate treatment plans with input from my patients - no single approach is right for every individual. I very much like a positive and practical approach to mental health treatment including medication management and therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self care. I like a person centered approach meaning finding solutions that work for you based on your values and priorities.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from various methods to find what works best for you. My areas of focus include trauma, multicultural issues, relationship dynamics, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and depression.

***ONLINE COUNSELING AVAILABLE*** At times, life can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to bear the burden alone. I have 22 years in the behavioral health field as an executive, teacher, consultant and dually-licensed clinician helping people move beyond their burdens to get on with their lives. I have been providing clinical services since 2005, and I'm a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science along with the American Counseling Association. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, panic, stress, anger, trauma, grief and problematic substance use across the lifespan. My primary therapeutic orientation is a mindfulness-based treatment known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Instead of trying to control or get rid of unwanted experiences, this approach develops the flexibility to respond differently so that you get unstuck from what is holding you back. It is an inherently person-centered, strength-based modality. Sometimes our struggles seem like we are in a tug-of-war with our own feelings, thoughts, pain, suffering, past and worries. At times, it may even feel like it's too much because you still haven't won that war, no matter what you've tried. Together, we can learn how to drop the rope so that you can get on with what is truly important - your life!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by having too much to do and think about? There may be days when you ask yourself, "how can I handle all of this?" I would like to offer you some additional tools that you can use to address the problems that you can't stop thinking about. My goal is that you leave my virtual office feeling more like yourself again with more clarity and confidence in tackling life's challenges.

Karmen Seltz is a psychotherapist who believes that the therapeutic relationship can build the foundation to make change. Therapy can help you make complicated decisions simpler and reinforce your successes. Often, it is a matter of helping you unlock the solution that is waiting inside you. Many successful people struggle with doing everything “perfectly,” and it can be exhausting. Therapy offers an opportunity to build self-care habits and learn new ways to cope, and taking this time for yourself will have a positive effect on your relationships as well. Karmen works with adults, couples, and families who are struggling with mood disorders, trauma, and substance use disorders. I have years of experience helping people make changes in their lives. I look forward to working together.
