Dr. Vince Allen

Psychologist

As a Black man, I understand the specific pressures we carry, the ones that we handle alone and don't always show. As a therapist, I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the expectation to act like everything is fine when it isn't. Black men are not a monolith, and my work reflects that. I've worked with active duty military, veterans, clergy and people of faith, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, and men living with HIV/AIDS. I built Brother2Brother Therapy Services because I saw a need for mental health care built for Black men. A space where there's no performing and no code-switching. Just honest conversation, brother to brother.

Scarlet Chatman

Therapist

At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


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.

Claire Hall

Claire Hall

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I'm Claire. I welcome the exploration of spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, and the search for meaning as part of the therapeutic process. For many people, healing involves more than reducing symptoms; it can also involve reconnecting with a sense of purpose, discovering what feels meaningful, exploring existential questions, and developing a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Spirituality is incorporated in a way that honors your individual beliefs, values, and worldview.

I have a special interest in supporting service members, veterans, and their families as they navigate the unique challenges of military life, deployment, transition, trauma, PTSD symptoms, identity changes, relationship difficulties, and the process of reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

Therapy can be a space to explore deeper questions: Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Who am I outside of my roles and responsibilities? What do I want my life to mean? What are my strengths, and how can I use them to build a more fulfilling life? How can I move beyond simply surviving? I would love to explore of these with you.

I am a Jacksonville native and received my undergraduate degree from the University of North Florida and my graduate degree from Florida State University.

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.
