My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. I specialize in helping women with postpartum depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues and stress from life transitions. I received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Ohio State in 2008. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience.
I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.
I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, emotional eating, and behavioral patterns affecting weight and functioning.
I do not provide medication management, but I refer patients to prescribing providers and offer clinical recommendations to support continuity of care. My approach centers on assessment, stabilization, and practical behavioral strategies that patients continue at home to reinforce healing.

Welcome!
Seeking therapy takes a leap of courage to dare imagine that you are deserving of a more fulfilling life.

If you understand why you feel the way you do but still can’t seem to change the patterns keeping you stuck, therapy can go deeper than simply talking about what’s wrong.
Hi, I’m Emily Burgess, LCSW, PMH-C, CMNCS, owner of Conduit Counseling Collective. I work with clients who may look like they’re functioning well on the outside but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or exhausted from holding everything together.
My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and whole-person focused. We’ll make space to understand your story and where your patterns came from—but we won’t stop there. I believe insight is most helpful when it leads to meaningful change in everyday life.
My work integrates evidence-based therapy with parts work, somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, and the connection between mental and physical wellbeing. When appropriate, we may explore how sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, relationships, and daily rhythms are impacting the way you feel. Mental health doesn’t exist separately from the rest of your body or your life.
I’ve worked in mental health since 2013 and have specialized experience in anxiety, life transitions, women’s mental health, and perinatal mental health.
Therapy with me is supportive, but it’s also active. I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, perspective, accountability—and probably some humor. You don’t need to have the right words or show up with everything figured out.
My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build trust in yourself, and turn insight into change that actually carries into your life.
I am Dr. Robinette Muse, licensed professional counselor with a practice in Newnan,Georgia. I have practiced for twenty seven years and have been in the behavioral health field 40 years. My primary specialty is trauma and grief counseling and I treat ages four to ninety.
I have practiced in the community and in clinic settings, private and public mental health. My focus with my clients is to help them heal and thrive.
Personally I spend my non work time gardening and learning naturopathic healing. I am a proud mother of one son and a new daughter-in-love.
As a Dual Board Certified Psychiatric and Family Health Nurse Practitioner, I focus on bridging the gap between the body and the mind.
