Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Griffin, GA


I’m Brandee, PMHNP-BC and founder of Kaleidoscope ClearPath Wellness. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, personal, and easy to understand. Healing happens when we slow down, listen to ourselves, and take small, caring steps forward. My approach blends mental health care with mindfulness, balance, and everyday habits that support your whole life. Here you'll find a gentle, judgment-free space for growth and clarity. My goal is simple; help you feel better and move forward with confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


My name is Kelley McCahill and I am a Counselor. I work with adults in the state of Georgia through Headway. My practice is entirely virtual, to make therapy more accessible in this hectic, busy world. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Certified Addictions Counselor. I have 17 years of experience helping people change patterns that no longer serve them. I enjoy collaborating with humans who struggle with depression, anxiety, and/or addiction issues. Mental, physical, and spiritual recovery are possible, together. I am irreverent, open, and humorous in my approach. I respect my clients’ autonomy, and genuinely believe they have the answers, but might need the right tools.
