Virtual • Atlanta, GA


You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

Therapist

Virtual • Loganville, GA


Infidelity can leave a relationship filled with shock, anger, unanswered questions, triggers, and uncertainty about what happens next. I specialize in helping couples navigate affair recovery, betrayal trauma, broken trust, repeated conflict, emotional disconnection, and relationship distress.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, counselor educator, and couples therapist with advanced training in relationship therapy, including Levels 1 and 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. My approach is structured, compassionate, practical, trauma-informed, and nonjudgmental toward both partners.

I offer two treatment pathways:

Weekly Couples & Affair Recovery Therapy — Virtual Only Ongoing therapy for couples who want to work progressively on affair recovery, communication, conflict, trust, emotional connection, and other relationship concerns.

Couples Intensive Therapy — In Person Only A focused, extended-session approach for couples who need more therapeutic time than a traditional weekly session provides. Intensives may address infidelity, betrayal trauma, repeated conflict, communication breakdown, loss of trust, emotional distance, and significant relationship distress.

My Loganville, Georgia location is reserved ONLY for Couples Intensives. I do not offer standard weekly in-person therapy there. Intensives are scheduled by prior arrangement after consultation or assessment and determination that the intensive format is appropriate.

Standard weekly therapy is provided virtually.

Not sure where to begin? Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation through Headway to discuss whether weekly therapy or a Couples Intensive may be the appropriate next step.

Healing and growth doesn't require having it all figured out before you start — it begins with curiosity. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, difficult relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place where you slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin taking steps towards your best possible self.

I'm an LPC in Georgia with over 3 years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction, and I especially work well with people who know something needs to change but aren't quite sure where to begin. I've worked especially well with people with addictions, looking for stability and self-sufficiency.

Dwan Bland

Dwan Bland

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I’m Dwan! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts, with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults through some of life’s toughest—and sometimes most confusing—seasons. My journey into mental health started when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, with a natural curiosity about people and what makes us tick. That curiosity grew after my first psychology class in high school, eventually leading me to a career where I get to do what I’ve always wanted: help people feel better, understand themselves, and move forward.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy—trust me, none of us do! Life gets messy, overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a safe place to sort through it all. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and those moments when you’re simply thinking, “Okay...what am I supposed to do now?”

My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and judgment-free. Together, we’ll talk through the hard stuff, celebrate the wins (even the tiny ones!), uncover strengths you may have forgotten you have, and find tools that actually fit your life. I use approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and gratitude—but therapy with me isn’t about throwing a bunch of clinical terms at you. It’s about you, your story, and figuring out the next chapter together.
