Our Specialty Marielle Gunasekera Stair, LCSW and Danica Legato-Riding, LPC specialize in working with adult development, trauma, and sexuality. We work with you to develop and sustain the psychological and/or somatic depth necessary to address the grotesque complexity of recovery and resolution. Our Practice You are all welcome here. We offer effective outpatient, individualized mental health and trauma-focused short-term counseling & long-term psychotherapy. We are a culturally divers duo and inherently love supporting diversity, culture, connection, and community. We genuinely love what we do. This is a BIPOC, Queer and social justice validating space, because this is also our lived experiences. With over 20 years of practice between us, we have extensive experience serving a diversity of races and ethnicities, spiritual orientations, sexual identities, expressions of gender, and intimate relationship frameworks. We are sex and kink positive. As practitioners, we have significant experience teaching and supporting power exchange frameworks such as those found in BDSM. We support diverse and expansive intimate and interpersonal relationship frameworks. Marielle and Dani work with adult individuals. Marielle also supports intimate relationships and families. We do not work with anyone under 18yo. Our Focus Our process is to help you navigate the never-straight, often meandering path of healing through your lived experience and history. We suggest that healing is learning to expand your capacity for resilience, and create space to be present with what is present. To do that work, we offer you a space of non-judgement (we changed this from "neutral", because life isn't). We work with you to cultivate relative therapeutic safety, promote empathy, and individualize our treatment and approach based on your journey. Our Mission We want to help you learn that healing is not a static point, to empower you to flourish, and to support you as you discover your life.

Hello my name is McCall Coker and welcome to Balance & Recovery Counseling! I believe you hold all the answers to your story. I am here to listen, support, and bring a non-judgmental and compassionate perspective to your experiences, as well as challenge you appropriately. And don't forget the laughter! Therapy can be heavy but I also believe that moments of genuine humor and real connection have a place in the healing process. I work best with clients who are seeking or curious about change even if they don't know where to start. I think therapy is a journey and just scheduling an appointment is a step of bravery. My specialties are working with individuals dealing with eating disorders/disordered eating as well as dealing with alcohol and other drug use/misuse. This is a place where you can be yourself and courageously take one step at a time to get to where you want to be. I would be honored to go on an adventure with you and hope to hear from you soon!

Many of the students I work with share something in common: they’re trying to juggle a lot at once. Between classes, assignments, work, relationships, and figuring out their future, life can feel overwhelming. Some struggle with stress and anxiety, others with low motivation, mood changes, or difficulty focusing. And many feel like they have to hold it all together on their own. In our work together, I provide a supportive space where you don’t have to have all the answers. My goal is to help you sort through what feels heavy, build tools to manage stress, and find balance so you can feel more like yourself again. You don’t need to know all the “right words” or have it figured out before you start—we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re going through. If you’re a student who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for extra support, this is a place where you can be honest, breathe easier, and move forward at your own pace.

Hello, If you are reading this right now then you may be experience some level of distress. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm relatable, easy to talk to and willing to help.
Welcome to Firm Foundations Counseling! Our mission is deeply rooted within our genuine love for people and our desire to see them thrive and live a meaningful life filled with purpose.

I’m a first-generation daughter who grew up learning to navigate life’s biggest transitions without a guidebook. From a young age, I was fiercely independent, facing adversity head-on and figuring things out as I went. That experience taught me the deep value of healing, and it shaped my belief that no one should have to struggle alone. I know what it feels like to be lost in the process of change when the road ahead is unclear and support feels out of reach. That’s why I’m passionate about being a therapist. I see the courage it takes to reach out, and I honor the resilience that lives in every person I meet. My work is rooted in creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to find their way forward, no matter where they’re starting from.
We are a gender-affirming and queer-friendly psychotherapy practice, with offices in Decatur & Kennesaw, GA, offering a range of services in-person and online (GA, SC, FL & WI), from traditional psychotherapy to holistic wellness.
Hi! I am Kaye Davis and I am a Licensed professional counselor in the heart of the classic city of Athens, GA. I have years of experience working with those individuals who are attending school, graduating, or even staff members that struggle with mental health stress. I believe you all are the experts on your life, and I am here to just walk alongside of you as you navigate this thing we call life. I have years of experience as a Collegiate basketball coach and also former athlete myself at Berry College in Rome, GA. I have a different quirky style of therapy, but at the end of the day, my number one goal is to provide you the ability to talk and explore areas that are strengths but also while looking at growth opportunities. I would also encourage you to find YOUR fit for therapist. Not every therapist is the right fit initially. I believe thru open honest communication things can be worked out where we can find a therapist will work that will be a connection that is helpful and meaningful. How about you take the step for yourself and find relief.
Together, we’ll untangle what’s weighing on you—whether it’s anxiety, relationship struggles, or memories that still feel raw—so you can feel more grounded and confident. My approach is warm and collaborative, helping you build safety in the present while gently healing what’s underneath.
