Charles Smith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Alpharetta, GA


I am passionate about working with students, adults, couples and families to help them strengthen emotional wellness, build confidence, strengthen coping skills and build healthier relationships. I help clients to navigate anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, life transitions, substance use and abuse, relationship concerns, cultural identity, men's issues, and spiritual integration.

I use personalized, evidence-based counseling to help clients understand how distorted perceptions and thoughts can contribute to painful feelings and unwanted behaviors. I also build practical skills you can use daily to manage stress, improve relationships, and create meaningful change.

I create a welcoming, judgment-free space where my clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I approach each person with empathy, respect, and personalized care. Connect with me to begin working toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. Let's Ascend!

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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Marble Hill, GA


Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
