Hi, my name is Jordan Keener and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides treatment to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. Typically I work with clients with a variation of presenting issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family conflict, life stress, etc. My goal is to help empower others through providing grace during hard moments in life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience providing telemental health sessions to young and middle-age adults in Georgia.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Psychology from UWG, and a Master’s/Specialist in Counseling from GSU. I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years, and 11 years as an LPC. I am dedicated to providing high-quality therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I help people overcome various life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship, and work-related issues. I have experience in addressing intense crises as well as daily stressors.

I’m LaToya T. Newman, MS, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with master’s degrees in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Criminal Justice Sciences. My background allows me to look beyond symptoms alone and consider the relational, environmental, and systemic experiences that shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life’s challenges.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, explore relational patterns, strengthen communication, and heal from experiences that continue to impact how they show up in relationships and daily life.

My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational. I pay attention not only to what is happening on the surface, but also to the deeper emotional experiences, family dynamics, and life experiences influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am especially mindful of cultural experiences, family systems, and the impact of past environments on emotional safety and connection.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, insightful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you. I believe healing and growth happen when we better understand ourselves, feel emotionally safe, and begin addressing things at the root.

Hi, I’m Shanae Benito, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with support, compassion, and practical tools for change. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices including TF-MCBT (Trauma-Focused Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) while creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and seen. I believe healing is not about having all the answer. It's about taking the next step forward together.

I believe strong therapy relationships are built on trust, open communication, and real results. I bring a strategic, detail oriented, solution focused approach to our work together while staying collaborative and responsive to your needs. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and confident that our work is leading toward meaningful, lasting change.

My qualifications and competence in the area of Counseling are founded on my education, work experience, and additional training in areas relating to the field of counseling.

With over 20 years of experience in the social work field my approach is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: I want to see you win.
