I am a Family Psychotherapist and Atlanta native who uses a holistic approach to therapy who works with women, children, adolescents, and families, with a focus on supporting BIPOC communities, marginalized groups, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Alexis also has experience working with aggressive adolescents, gender-related concerns, and children navigating grief.
With a professional background in Montessori education and nonprofit management, I bring a creative and multifaceted perspective to her work. I am also a strong advocate for radical self-acceptance and enjoy encouraging others to discover their own sense of freedom and personal growth.
Being human can be hard under the best of circumstances. When anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships are added, the challenges can be daunting. It is a true honor to be able to accompany people on their journey towards better navigating the challenges of life with greater calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage, as well as deeper connections with those around them. As a Professional Counselor, I have the privilege of working with clients to discover their path towards a meaningful, authentic, and rewarding life.
I come to the field of counseling after 15 years in the corporate world. My experience working with individuals with high anxiety have informed my interest in helping people overcome difficulties and achieve their potential. My areas of experience are: Anxiety and Relationships, which are often related, and other times completely independent of each other.
On the Anxiety side, I specialize in OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking, GAD, panic, trauma, and hoarding. I am passionate about working with individuals who suffer from Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors – a condition with which I personally struggled for over 15 years. I am equally passionate about working with people through their intimate relationships.
I am a licensed therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While my educational background includes family systems work, my primary focus is helping individuals navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.
I work with adults, adolescents, and parents experiencing anxiety, ADHD, parenting concerns, life transitions, stress, and everyday challenges. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we explore what's going on in your life, identify challenges and patterns, and work toward meaningful change.
Are you overwhelmed, having difficulty functioning, or just feeling unlike yourself lately? As someone who was born in Nigeria and has personally navigated cultural adjustment and its stressors, I understand how complex it can feel to find your footing. Drawing on both my lived experience and professional training, I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs. I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here! I’m a therapist who believes in the power of showing up as your full, unfiltered self. I support adults 18+ facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, with a special interest in the perinatal and postpartum journey. I help individuals and partners untangle patterns, communicate with clarity, and reconnect during some of their most transformative seasons. Life is messy yet beautiful, and you don’t have to edit yourself when you walk into therapy with me.
I provide therapy in a way that is warm, empowering, and honest. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful change.
I work with clients navigating depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family stress, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I see the process as a collaboration — one where your voice, goals, and pace matter. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to heal from painful experiences, I aim to meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge patterns that are no longer serving you.
Hello, I'm Ebony Morish, a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping you on your journey toward healing and positive change. I believe that within each person lies the courage and strength to embark on the path of healing, and it's my privilege to assist you in accessing those inner pieces.
I am a dual-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over 28 years of experience in healthcare. I believe in meeting clients where they are by creating a trusting environment for open communication. Using solution-focused interventions, I empower my patients to accept their current situations and facilitate positive changes to enhance their overall mental well-being.
I work with clients ages 13 and up, couples, and families navigating grief, loss, PTSD, men’s issues, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, and seasons where life feels heavier than usual. Some clients come in after a specific loss or painful experience. Others are trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, identity questions, family patterns, or the pressure to keep functioning when things do not feel okay inside.
My background spans addiction recovery, group facilitation, crisis work, and private practice, so I am comfortable sitting with both everyday stress and the harder things people often feel they have to hide. My style is direct, engaged, and real. I use humor when it fits, show up as a full person, and genuinely care about helping you sort through what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.
I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years experience in clinical care. I have an LCSW and MDIV which allows me to help clients as a whole person while honoring their mental and spiritual wellness. I specialize in the treatment of adult neurodivergent individuals across the spectrums of ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, and BPD. I am trained in adherent intensive DBT as well as EMDR for trauma treatment. These two modalities give me the tools to help Clients control their own minds, increase their resilience, reduce their trauma symptoms, and build lives they are eager and excited to live. I have walked alongside clients in crisis for most of my career and I considerate it an honor to help them through those dark moments. "Crisis" means something different for each individual and I value helping each client in their specific time of need.
