ANSLEY
Hello, my name is Ansley Bair. I am from Bremen, Georgia. In addition to a Bachelor's in Psychology, I have a Masters and a Specialist in Education with a focus in Professional Counseling. I have been a school counselor for 4 years and in private practice for 1 year. My vocation was driven by a desire to be a resource for change. I love my job and helping people!
My counseling goal is to empower individuals to navigate through life's challenges with compassion and wisdom. I will always aim to provide a safe and warm environment to ensure that the comfort of the client is met. Through talk therapy, you can be yourself and utilize the benefits of catharsis. Working together, goals can be set and therapy can move at a pace that you are comfortable with. In these sessions you are in control and supported, no matter what season of life you are in.

JASMINE
I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and families. We are all working through this thing called "life" and I use client-focused approaches to assist my clients reach their preferred goals.
I prefer a client-focused approach that allows me to cater interventions to my unique client. I use a combination of behavioral modification, motivational interviewing, and CBT processing to reach your mental health goals.
Finding a therapist that fits you is hard, but it's important that you get the opportunity to choose. Let's start by scheduling a 15-minute consultation to get you closer to finding the match that will support your journey toward your goals.

SCARLETT
I use recreational art in counseling to work things out through colors, images, writing and storytelling. Everyone has their own unique experiences which I intend to use to empower the client as well as being an ally and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. In our sessions we will explore the shadow self, fears, shame and guilt, past traumas with family, religious trauma, or relationships that shaped you. I create a safe space to be genuinely yourself and to help you be seen.
My approach to wholistic therapy is based in humanistic and person centered ideas. This looks like focusing on what makes you, in mind, body, and spirit and our connections with other people. Also, using practices of mindfulness and meditation and how to understand and reprogram negative thought cycles in the brain to gain more control of your life.
I’ll always stay curious as we journey through anxiety, depression, identity development, grief, life transitions, body issues, low self-esteem, and many more human experiences. Please feel free to reach out to us or come through our doors to start finding emotional healing.

SHAWNNETTA
Hi! My name is Shawnnetta (pronounced SHAWN-KNEE-TUH), and I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor. I am a Georgia transplant, originally from Jersey City, NJ. I attended the University of West Georgia where I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees (The best go West!). I completed my practicum and internship at the University of West Georgia's Counseling Center.
I specialize in grief, maternal mental health, ADHD (particularly in women and girls), anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. With a balance of empathy and honesty, I create a supportive space where clients can process their struggles while also gaining the tools and confidence to move forward. Whether navigating loss, adjusting to motherhood, managing ADHD, or facing life’s uncertainties, I help clients find clarity, resilience, and empowerment on their journey to healing
I have always been someone others naturally confide in, offering a compassionate listening ear and a safe space for open conversations. Over time, I found myself frequently guiding individuals toward seeking professional support, though many hesitated to take that step. Recognizing the need for accessible, meaningful help, I chose to become a therapist—allowing me to provide not only a listening ear but also the professional guidance and support necessary for true healing and growth.
