Starting therapy can be scary, overwhelming, frustrating, and/or exhausting. There are so much options.. and if you're not a therapist yourself, many of the terms and specialties are new for you and probably don't mean anything yet. If you're not sure what exactly you're looking for, but know you want help and support, you're in the right place. I'll explain the process, walk through what next steps are and work with you along the way to answer questions and make sure what we are doing continues to feel supportive of your needs.

I offer my clients a safe space to explore questions and thoughts that they may not feel comfortable sharing with others. We will look at the feelings that come up for you in difficult situations and also share the wins together. We can keep things in the moment and focus on what's currently happening, or explore how past experiences have shaped you.

Everyone's needs are different, and there is not a one size fits all to therapy. I believe the relationship is the most important part of this process, and with a strong connection to your therapist (hopefully me!) real change and understanding can happen. If you're ready to start, please reach out and we can walk through this together.

My goal is to help every client be the truest, healthiest version of themselves. Career challenges, stage of life transitions, relational conflict, and social circumstances can all be sources of stress and produce feelings of inadequacy and isolation. Addressing these challenges not only increases self-awareness; it bolsters self-esteem, fuels empathy and increases our capacity for healthy interpersonal connection. Ultimately, these are the elements that allow us to weather the challenges life sends our way and to thrive in both personal and professional settings.

....as a Certified sexual misbehavior professional.
My unique level of insight in this specific issue brings skills that have clients create lasting change, faster improvements in self management, improved mood, and reduced recidivism.

I have been studying and treating this from when persons would still seek illegal deviant material via US Mail. I have done program development, clinical assistance to other agencies, complex case consultation, development of theory, and the training and clinical supervision of other highly skilled sexual behavior experts.

I developed and oversaw a Government psychiatric outpatient sexual misbehavior program. I and my subordinates used “Good Lives Model”, a deep level of understanding of these behaviors, and a culturally informed perspective took into account the disorder, and culture that enabled it.

There is no sexual misbehavior I have not seen a great many times, and no consequence that I have not seen many times.

Although most “certifications” in so called sex addiction or sex therapy held by other clinicians are not issued by Universities or government, mine in fact are issued by Universities.

Sexual Misbehavior is NOT at all under the umbrella of “sex therapists”.

“Coaches” are NOT , ever, in any way qualified for clinical matters, as hype is not skill and confidence is not education.

Sexual Misbehavior is NOT to be treated with “Marriage” therapy. One person acted out, one person created this, one person is where most of the work is needed.

Brick and mortar Fordham University trained, licensed psychotherapist, certified Ohio University also certified University of Louisville, in this issue.

That is, I am a highly trained, non judgmental, clinician that will use my superior insights to help you improve faster.

Available to New Clients! In-person Acworth office or virtually.
Who Am I? We all desire to be heard, to be seen, to have a purpose, to know the truth, to trust, to be trusted, and to be whole. The mind, body, & spirit need to be well; we work with all three parts. Having grown up overseas, I know acculturation into the home country is a struggle. I know what it's like to be hurt by religion or church. I know what it's like to live with a narcissistic leader or family member.
I've experienced divorce, remarriage, had single-parenting struggles, learned to rebuild a family. I know the challenges of aging parents. Life is hard at any age. I am also an LGBTQIA ally.
I offer a safe space of acceptance & kind confrontation. Our lives are impacted by trauma, whether a one-time event or a life pattern. Trauma can be one-time or long-term; religious, psychological, or physical abuse by people we trust. I will walk alongside you, working through the past, accepting the present, working toward whole wellness in your future.
As your therapist, I want to be present with you where your needs may be. If it's anxiety, depression, gender identity issues, church or religion mess, trauma, aging parents, difficult kids, troubled or at-risk-marriage, toxicity, or a career change, I will listen to you. I offer an open mind but I will challenge you when you need another perspective.

I seek to be open and inclusive with each client. I want each person to feel welcomed and understood. I am trained in in-depth psychotherapy and enjoy exploring the deeper roots of presenting problems with a goal of practical application of insight. I am a licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapist & clinical supervisor with over 25 years of counseling experience.

Finding a therapist that you connect with is crucial to helping you get the results you are hoping for. You may consider personality, values, style of therapy, or the overall vibe in your search. People would describe therapy with Brooke as heart healing, honest, collaborative and connecting. Brooke is passionate about working along individuals and couples as they learn to live authentically, boldly, and joyfully. Her work helps clients to explore the wounds or trauma that may be holding them back from achieving their best self. Brooke may be a good fit for you if you find yourself wanting a therapist who will hold your perspective and offer a different one, if you want to be challenged to grow, or if you are looking to be more spiritually and emotionally connected to yourself and others.

Malissa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate. She is licensed in both South Carolina and North Carolina.

Malissa is most passionate about people and her motto for clients is let’s work together to become your overall “best/better” SELF!! Malissa has worked tirelessly to help children of all ages and adults feel good about themselves no matter what the past, present may look like. We work together to make “you, the client” feel whole and worthy! Malissa’s previous work stems from children and adults thus the family unit (Couples) is an area that comes naturally for her.
