I am Jesmond Fair, born and raised in rural Alabama and later became an alumnus of The University of Alabama. I completed all my graduate training at UGA and am calling Atlanta home. I am a gay Black Christian cis-gender male. For most moments of the day, I have a random song on repeat in my head. This can be attributed to my background in vocal and instrumental music. I believe in being real. So, clients can expect facial reactions, slang, occasional profanity, laughter, and even tears.

Please do not use the booking function on this page. Call or email me directly for a free 15 minute consultation. Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

2480 Windy Hill Road Southeast, Marietta, GA

Hi, I’m Priscilla Powers, a Licensed Professional Counselor, School Counselor, and Professor of Counseling with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education.

With extensive experience in adolescent and family dynamics, I specialize in helping clients navigate:

  • Clients often come to me for support with:
    • Anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions
    • Self-esteem, perfectionism, and fear of not being “good enough”
    • College and academic challenges
    • Career uncertainty and post-graduation transitions
    • Identity development and life direction
    • Dating, breakups, and relationship patterns
    • Attachment and communication
    • Family relationships and developing healthy independence
    • Boundaries and difficult conversations
    • ADHD-related organization and time management
    • Grief and significant life transitions
    • Major decisions about relationships, careers, and the future


My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems work, and trauma-informed care—tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to make meaningful changes in your life.


If you’re seeking a counselor who combines therapeutic expertise, deep compassion, and decades of experience, I’m here to help.

Hello! I believe healing begins by attuning to ourselves and becoming more aware of our powerful and intuitive body systems. These systems let us know when we feel safe/unsafe in a challenging situation. I have felt the power of this practice and notice the improvement of regulation.

I am continually striving to create an anti-racist, body-positive, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive space where I acknowledge the systemic issues that impact these individuals and their unique experiences.
