LGBT therapists in Jonesboro, GA

I am a seasoned therapist. I have lived in many parts of the US as well as overseas. I work best with clients who demonstrate insight into their issues and want to change. I see myself as the copilot on your path to transformation.

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.

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.

You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

• Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
• High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
• Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

My educational background is in both Clinical and Community Psychology. I conceptualize and intervene with clients with an understanding of individual and environmental contributing factors. Additionally, I have significant experiences working with people across the life span and in various settings. I bring this rich experience to my work with clients.

Have you been feeling stuck? Struggling to get out of bed each morning? If depression, anxiety, trauma, or challenges from ADHD/neurodiversity are making it difficult for you to get through the day, therapy can be a great tool to help you find a solution to navigating these experiences. I have over five years of experience working in various mental health settings where I have developed specific skills and strategies to help you live a more meaningful and satisfying life.

Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.

Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
