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.

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.

Roy Woods

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


In 1986, my journey in the field of human services began, fueled by a lifelong passion for helping others. Majoring in the Human Services concentration at high school laid the groundwork for my unwavering commitment to this mission.

Upon earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Science with a counseling specialty, my formal training commenced in 2002. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and expertise, working in diverse settings. Anxiety, stress, worry, uncertainty, addictions and fear don't have to define your life. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and automatic behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.
