Whether you're living with depression, anger, problems with motivation or difficulties handling mood swings, I have experience and ideas and a non-judgmental approach to your situation. I'm a straightforward person so I may challenge you if I think that will help you. I can also help you think from a different perspective which in turn can lead to you experiencing different emotions. I have a good critical ear and I can ask you the questions you need to hear in order to feel comfortable with the decisions you want to make. Sometimes I just listen. I also specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. DBT helps people gain control of problem emotions like anxiety and anger. It teaches skills to tolerate Distress and make it through the night when things seem unbearable. DBT also helps individuals learn to say "no" and set limits without feeling guilty. I'm an English man living and working in the USA. I am compassionate and open-minded. I also have a good sense of humor. My goal is to help people feel relaxed, understood and gain a sense of hope that the future can bring peace and optimism.

Hi, I'm Marilyn. Reaching out for help is often intimidating, especially if you're unsure where to begin. Everyone’s process in therapy will look different, and I’m eager to work with you to discover what that will be. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is most important in this process, and I understand the need to find a good fit. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, stress related to classes, significant life transitions, relationship issues, etc., I will walk with you along your path to healing. Therapy can be a tool to increase self-compassion, understand our emotions, improve relationships, and offer healing. I work with individuals and couples. We all have narratives that guide our lives. Sometimes we get stuck in a narrative that is no longer effective, or we have a difficult time making sense of our experiences. Talking with someone from an objective point of view can help you make sense of your experiences and find meaning in them. I am also a trauma-informed clinician and trained in EMDR.

I have worked at GA Tech as a psychologist and greatly enjoy working with college students. I specialize in the assessment of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities, & other psychological conditions. I provide comprehensive evaluations to provide diagnostic clarification, direction, and treatment recommendations. In addition to testing, I provide counseling for adolescents, adults, and couples with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD/Asperger's. My therapeutic practice is integrative; interpersonal, CBT, & mindfulness.

I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional experiences. While I have a strong interest in working with teens and young adults, I welcome clients of all different ages and backgrounds. I want to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, feel genuinely understood, and have the opportunity to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Providing support and guidance in a compassionate and empathetic way is something that I strive for when working with clients. Every person has their own unique challenges and strengths, and I adapt according to their unique needs. My prior experience working with children diagnosed with autism has led me to develop a warm but honest and adaptable approach. I know that taking the step to begin counseling can feel difficult or unfamiliar. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope to provide support and guidance in a compassionate way while we work together toward meaningful growth.

College life can be stressful. The truth is, we all experience challenges in life and we all have a choice to allow those challenges to push us down or raise us up.

At The OCD & Anxiety Center, we are experienced in working with people of all ages whose anxiety has taken over their lives. Many of our patients have been to several treatment providers but have not achieved the desired results; some believe that their anxiety is "the worst case that anyone has seen" and are afraid that they cannot be helped; some are experiencing anxiety-related problems for the first time in their lives. Regardless of your experience, our passionate and skilled team of therapists are excited to provide you with the help that you need and deserve in order to gain mastery over your OCD, anxiety, phobias, and trauma. The idea of meeting with a therapist once every week is common, and this approach can be helpful for many. But for some individuals, symptoms are so severe that a higher "dose" of treatment is needed. We involve families, spouses, and other support people/systems. Our objective is to provide the skills that you need to face your fear and take back your life. We are skilled at providing effective evidence-based treatments. We will help you identify problematic patterns in your life and work with you to create an individualized treatment plan that will help you change these patterns by facing them head on. We treat anxiety wherever it presents itself. Bottom line: If anxiety is there, so are we!

College can look like you have everything figured out while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who you actually are. Maybe you were used to being the “smart one” or the one who had it together, and now you’re realizing you feel… average. You’re studying harder but barely getting B’s or C’s or even failing, thinking about dropping a class, or questioning whether you’re even on the right path. You might be considering changing your major (again), taking a leave for your mental health, or feeling pressure to graduate on time so you don’t fall behind your friends. You might also be trying to figure out what you actually want to do with your life, feeling overwhelmed by career decisions, grad school applications, or exams like the MCAT or LSAT. Or you’re navigating friendships, your identity, dating, and independence for the first time and realizing it’s not as easy as it was told to you. I work best with college students and young adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of being stuck in their own head. You might look like you’re doing fine on the outside, but internally feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of your direction. Therapy with me is collaborative and real. We don’t just talk about what’s going on. We slow things down, understand the patterns underneath it, and figure out how to actually move forward in a way that fits your life. I’m not a one-size-fits-all or “just use these coping skills” therapist. Some sessions we process, some we build tools, and some we focus on getting you unstuck and taking action. The goal is not just awareness, but change that feels realistic and sustainable. If you’re tired of overthinking everything, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like you’re falling behind while everyone else seems fine, therapy can be a space to figure things out without having to pretend you have it all together. Many college students I work with are trying therapy for the first time. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what your goals are yet, but it does help to have some sense that you want things to feel different and are open to looking at yourself more honestly. This work goes beyond venting or quick fixes. It’s about understanding patterns, building insight, and applying that in real life, even when that process feels uncomfortable at times.

I specialize in working with eating disorders/disordered eating, anxiety, depression, life transitions, body image/self-esteem, and more.

I have an office in Roswell and can do virtual sessions. I accept various insurance plans.

I’m a neurodivergent therapist who specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals. I have experience working with ADHD, Autism, OCD, and more.

As a therapist I believe that all of use can benefit from the use of help at times in managing the struggles brought on by the stresses of daily living, work, or school, life transitions, grief, and past traumas. Therapy may also be the right choice when long-standing feelings of anxiety, unhappiness or shame have hindered you from living your best life. I focus on the whole person: physically, emotionally, mentally, sexually, and spirituality. It is my goal to join with you and together work towards healing and a more meaningful life. The heart of my practice is to empower clients as they journey towards wholeness and health. I provide a safe, respectful, nurturing, and nonjudgmental environment for clients to process and explore concerns that brought them to therapy. Am I a good fit to walk with you on your journey? The best way to find out is to begin with a free phone consultation.

Whether you’ve tried countless ways to improve your situation or this is your very first step, I am here to support you in navigating life’s challenges with hope, resilience, and self-compassion. My counseling style blends authenticity, genuine care, humor, and thoughtful curiosity to create an environment where you feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll uncover patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships to enable you to make sense of your experiences, strengthen your skills and support, and cultivate a fulfilling life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you need. Our work is about facing life head-on, not avoiding it, and I am honored to be a guide and ally as you navigate both the messy and meaningful parts of your journey.

Hi! I’m Samantha Heuwagen, a sex, marriage & family therapist, best-selling author, and activist. When I’m not working with clients, I promote and engage in the discussion surrounding mental health and healthy relationships through social media, lectures, workshops, and writing. Featured on The Huffington Post, NBC News, Bustle, DatingNews.com, and more, my goal is to spread awareness by challenging the popular discourse concerning mental health, healthy relationships, and sex.

I specialize in promoting emotional and relational wellness by addressing concerns about depression, anxiety, and other issues resulting from trauma. I am a naturally intuitive and empathetic person, so part of who I am as a therapist is genuinely enjoying listening to people talk about their lives. My primary goal is to create a safe space for you to explore your feelings - snarkiness, self-deprecating humor, cursing, etc. is all welcome and accepted. Over time, I will help you make sense of your experiences and start to see and understand yourself from a more compassionate perspective. I'm also a neuroscience nerd, so another part of who I am as a therapist is helping you understand how your brain works and the how and why of what we’re doing in therapy. We'll talk about subpersonalities, neuroplasticity, memory networks, and more...but don't worry: I have an extensive library of articles, videos, and memes to help explain things. The most important part of who I am as a therapist is believing that therapy isn't just where you learn how to “deal with” mental health problems, but that for those who are ready, therapy can provide real healing. Using IFS-Informed EMDR, I help clients “reconsolidate” trauma memories, allowing you to experience transformational and lasting change.
