ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Gainesville, GA

Welcome to a place where young hearts and minds find solace, growth, and resilience. As a dedicated psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am here to help children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life's challenges, build positive thought patterns, and unleash their full potential. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and a brighter future.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you or your child are carrying big emotions, past experiences, or relationship stress. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as you begin this process.

Hello! I have been working with kids, teens and adults for over 10 years. I can help with issues around anxiety, ADHD, OCD, relationship issues and grief/loss. I operate from a ACT model incorporating mindfulness and ERP for OCD and anxiety.

Hi, I'm Maureen (she/her), and I’m a licensed professional counselor with more than two decades of experience supporting clients with toxic parent recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. I often see folks who appear successful on the outside but are struggling inside. I advocate for people who are starting something new and scary or leaving behind something painful. Whatever it is you are looking to unload, I offer a warm and validating space to explore what you’ve been carrying.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and university counseling centers. I have worked with adults and college students to better understand patterns and survival instincts. When I'm not working, I'm usually exercising in some way, spending time outside, or playing music.

I'm a therapist, punk, and human. I help late diagnosed (or suspecting!) ADHD/AuDHD women and AFAB folks work through the shame tapes (like "I'm lazy" or "I'm not good enough" or "everyone can do this except me") to get to empowerment. I am also trained in EMDR and group therapy facilitation for trauma processing and resilience building. Let's rise together!

I am a Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider. I am trained to provide individual, couples, and family counseling for adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, depressive disorders, and trauma- and stressor-related conditions.

I am always seeking ways to advance my knowledge in the counseling field, to broaden my horizon with specialty topics, and to best serve diverse populations.

This journey is a COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, just as you have expectations of me, I will have them of you as too.

Welcome - I’m glad you’re here.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic mental health care through therapy and medication management for adults when appropriate. I take a whole-person approach to treatment, recognizing that emotional well-being is influenced by life experiences, relationships, stress, physical health, and daily functioning - not just symptoms alone.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship stress, or difficult life transitions that affect their ability to function at work, in relationships, and in everyday life. Often, they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns that are not improving despite their efforts and are looking for practical support, deeper understanding, and meaningful change.

I believe effective treatment involves more than simply prescribing medication - it’s about understanding the underlying patterns, stressors, and experiences impacting your mental health. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and individualized to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to help clients build emotional resilience, improve mood and focus, strengthen healthy boundaries, and regain confidence in their daily lives.

My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing journey. For those who value spirituality, I also offer faith-informed care, thoughtfully incorporating spiritual perspectives into treatment while honoring your personal beliefs and values.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. Whether you are feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stuck, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you move toward greater balance, clarity, and overall wellness at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Welcome — I'm Glad You're Here.

I believe that you are the expert on your own story, and that you already have the strengths within you to navigate life’s challenges. My role is to help you reconnect with those strengths and support you in creating lasting, meaningful change.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience working with individuals from all walks of life. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Marshall University Graduate College, and since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people heal, grow, and thrive.

I’m also a Master Addiction Counselor (since 2005), a Certified Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, and an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR therapist.

Are you overwhelmed, having difficulty functioning, or just feeling unlike yourself lately? As someone who was born in Nigeria and has personally navigated cultural adjustment and its stressors, I understand how complex it can feel to find your footing.

I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

Looking forward to meeting you!
