Hi, my name is Marlee and I'm a therapist here in Athens with Rooted Therapy + Wellness. If you’re ready to create lasting change, find balance, and feel more at home in your life, I’m here to help. Life can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, you can navigate its challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. My goal is to help you find that grounding and create a space where you can flourish. You have everything you need to thrive, and I’m here to support you along the way with a deep belief in your ability to grow. Therapy is meant to create a space that feels uniquely yours. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we’ll explore what works for you in order to build on your strengths and help you grow in your own way. Healing can be difficult, but it can also be lighthearted and empowering at times, with laughter along the way as well. I work with adolescents + adults facing a variety of concerns, such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image issues, relational concerns, low self-worth, identity exploration, and spirituality exploration. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they uncover their strength and move toward the life they want.

It's your life, your journey. You deserve to experience your life in the most authentic way possible, on your terms. In difficult times, life becomes overwhelming, and we may need help finding the way through. To assist clients in achieving mental health goals, Billy Cottrell-Jackson, LPC, NCC, CCTP utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic practices to help improve client mental health, wellness, and overall quality of life.

Welcome! My approach to therapy starts with believing that change is in our control and, by working from that mentality, we can learn to accept & grow from what we cannot control in order to live our life in an more optimal way. Being in the LGBT community myself, some of my clients value having a therapist that can connect with that experience. In my therapy space, I value authenticity, safety, freedom to choose, connection to others as well as ourselves, & being challenged. My clients want a safe & comfortable space that can help them facilitate growth (that can sometimes be uncomfortable) & I love when I can provide that. I enjoy working with college students who are curious about themselves, desire change, & are interested in exploring issues or past trauma that they feel may be holding them back. I've completed EMDR Basic Training and use this along with other evidence based practices to help my clients reach their goals.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed techniques. I believe therapy should be an active, empowering process that helps you develop insight and tools that actually work in your daily life. My style is warm, straightforward, and curious. I want you to feel both supported and understood as we work together toward your goals. My Experience I’m a licensed psychologist who provides therapy (ages 12+) and psychological assessment for adolescents and adults. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, identity and relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients in recovery from substance use and those within the LGBTQ+ community. Whether through therapy or testing, I strive to help clients gain clarity, confidence, and direction. My Education I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree from Marshall University. I completed my predoctoral internship at Valley Health in Huntington, West Virginia, and my postdoctoral training at Marshall Psychiatry/Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. What to Expect from Me I bring a warm, authentic, and collaborative style to therapy. You can expect a space that balances compassion with curiosity—where you’ll feel heard and supported, but also challenged in ways that promote growth and insight. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way of your goals and develop strategies that fit your life and values. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to make therapy accessible and flexible for your needs. Whether you’re seeking therapy, assessment, or consultation, I look forward to partnering with you on your path toward greater understanding and well-being.
