Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Smyrna, GA


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.

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Georgia


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.
