Dr. Jesmond Fair

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Atlanta, GA


I am Jesmond Fair, born and raised in rural Alabama and later became an alumnus of The University of Alabama. I completed all my graduate training at UGA and am calling Atlanta home. I am a gay Black Christian cis-gender male. For most moments of the day, I have a random song on repeat in my head. This can be attributed to my background in vocal and instrumental music. I believe in being real. So, clients can expect facial reactions, slang, occasional profanity, laughter, and even tears.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conyers, GA


My name is Crystal Broughton. I am the founder of Milestone Counseling & Wellness, LLC (MCW) and lead therapist with a faith-based approach. As a licensed professional counselor, my mission is to provide the environment that fosters growth and resilience to help those feel empowered and reclaim their lives.

One of my strengths is my ability to listen...to hear YOU; in a non judgmental space. I provide you a space to release, search and identify what you need. Your narrative is the key to your healing and growth on your journey. Our life experiences influence the people we touch in our lives; our relationships, our jobs, our children. I'd love to listen to you.

I am a Master level, fully licensed and Nationally Certified Clinician. I understand the necessity of a safe place to discover healing & growth. We all experience levels of anxiety, depression, existential, and family/social conflict that hinders us from moving forward. The one thing we forget is that we don't have to endure it alone.
