LGBT therapists in Carrollton, GA

Hi! My name is Jillian Canada, and I have lived in the state of Georgia my whole life. I found a passion for care and attended the University of Georgia where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology followed by the University of North Georgia where I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in private settings as well as community health centers with ages 4 years old and onward. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and attachment. I love walking with others as they grow into who they want to be.

My name is Taylor Whelchel and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I graduated from the University of Georgia with my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology; and the University of North Carolina-Greensboro with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health. I have worked in the industry for the last six years and specialized in anxiety, trauma, depression, and grief.

I’m a licensed psychologist offering virtual therapy for adults across Georgia. My work focuses on understanding the experiences that shaped you—and supporting you as you build new, healthier ways of moving forward. With nearly three decades as a psychologist— and years of experience in healthcare management leadership roles— I’ve learned that life is complex, but healing is always possible.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and old wounds that still affect them today. Many of my clients come in experiencing worry and overthinking, feelings of not being good enough, or struggles with significant loss or major life changes. My clients are often looking for relief or to feel better about themselves, while others come to therapy wanting to understand what shaped them—the beliefs, experiences, and survival strategies that still influence how they think, feel, and relate to others. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, and as a member of that community, I understand many of the experiences my clients bring in.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My professional experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I tailor treatment to meet each client's specific needs, strengths, and goals.

I earned my education from the University of Georgia, where I developed a strong foundation in social work practice, mental health treatment, and advocacy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I work with people who feel stuck and are ready for change. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship issues, past hurts, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate what feels overwhelming. I’ve provided counseling to adults, youth, and couples in both community mental health and private practice. I’m licensed in Georgia and Florida and bring over 20 years of experience to our work together.

Greetings!

As a therapist, I believe it is important to walk in your purpose and I believe I do that every day. My name is Laijun English, and I am a counselor that provides treatment for teens and adults dealing with life’s challenges.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by your ever-growing to-do list? Between work, dishes, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, you're feeling overwhelmed and shut down, and that's not including kids or school demands. Time management is a constant battle; you procrastinate, lose track of time, and miss important deadlines. It feels impossible to stay on top of everything. Your brain feels scattered and you feel like you’re underachieving, despite your potential and the effort you're putting in.

Life brings seasons of change, and you don't have to navigate them alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, grief and loss, and relationship challenges, while also supporting concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, stress management, trauma, identity issues, men's issues, and cultural or ethnic concerns. I welcome children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I strive to create a space where every person feels heard, respected, and understood. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, navigating conflict in your relationships, or looking for healthier ways to cope, my goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and move toward lasting emotional well-being.
