Syreeta Smith

Syreeta Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Douglasville, GA


Hi, I'm Syreeta! My passion for helping others began as a volunteer at my children's elementary school, where I realized that helping children also means supporting their families. That experience inspired me to earn a bachelor's degree in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both hospital and private practice settings. I believe healing is possible with the right guidance, compassion, and support, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

David Ready

David Ready

Psychologist

Virtual • Georgia


I specialize in evidence-based treatments for patients suffering from anxiety, OCD, Depression, and trauma related disorders. These treatments are more effective and efficient than traditional therapy because they directly target symptoms. I provide specific exercises aimed at breaking behavioral patterns that maintain symptoms. Traditional psychotherapy emphasizes gaining insight which in itself often does not lead to symptom reduction. Changing what you do will you change how you feel.

Terresha Anthony

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


My goal is to explore the root of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to create lasting healing. I love this work, and everyone I work with holds a special place in my heart. I have studied multiple treatments in order to help with parenting, trauma, self-perception, and many challenges with mood, thoughts, and behavior that are not making you feel proud of yourself or your life. PCIT helps children ages 2-6; ABFT is helpful for adolescents experiencing many issues, including suicidal ideation and self-harm. IFS is extremely helpful for a wide range of challenges, including trauma. I also incorporate AEDP and coherence therapy to round out my approach to the healing work.
