Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

Alisha Lester

Alisha Lester

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Counseling and Psychology and years of experience supporting individuals through some of life's heaviest seasons; depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, family conflict, and the quiet pain of not feeling good enough.

My path to this work is deeply personal. For years I wrestled with low self-esteem, and that journey, from bitter and broken to whole and beautiful, is what drives everything I do. I founded U.G.L.Y. LADY Ministries out of that experience, a ministry dedicated to helping women reclaim their sense of worth. I also serve as a school counselor, which keeps me grounded in the real, everyday challenges people face from adolescence into adulthood.

I have a particular heart for women, young people, and anyone navigating trauma, relationship pain, or the weight of feeling unseen. My faith, my community, and my lived experience are not separate from my clinical work; they inform it. I bring warmth, encouragement, and an unshakeable belief in every person's capacity to heal.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.
