Since 2018, we initiated a hybrid practice (providing in-person and virtual mental health support), which prepared us for an unforeseen pandemic in 2020 that created barriers to mental health care for millions of Americans. As early adopters of telehealth, our services were never interrupted, resulting in a seamless transition for people who had difficulties coming to the office because of COVID-19 transmission and proximity concerns, transportation barriers, physical challenges, time constraints, busy work schedules, social anxiety, or embarrassing problems they find difficult to disclose in person.
But our forward-thinking approach did not stop there. In 2023, we added a therapist supporting the international community. Although she is based in the UK, the laws of her country and our telehealth structure allow her to work with certain citizens around the globe.
Also, in 2023, we were among the first mental health practices to truly integrate a mind-body-spirit-centered approach to our offerings, bringing on Toshii, the Vibrational Midwife and Spiritual Messenger to our team of 'healers'. Though not claiming to be psychotherapy, many people experience energy, body, breath and spiritual coaching as a powerful adjunct to one's healing process.
From the available research, complementary and alternative healing methods are on the rise, touting several physical and emotional benefits. This supports our mission to help clients travel 'holistically' on their healing journey and is a small step toward our vision of decolonizing and decentering Westernized notions of healing.
Our therapists and healers are carefully selected for their qualifications, integrity, expertise, and ability to work with people of intersecting identities. We consist of pre- and fully licensed, trained, and experienced clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC), and energy practitioners. Our fully licensed therapy team has been qualified and certified by Georgia’s professional board after completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. Therapists who are not fully licensed are provided with clinical supervision and oversight. While our experience, expertise, and background vary, we aim to provide top-quality service and support to our clients.

We are honored to support you and look forward to connecting with you soon.

Our work is also rooted in the following Kwanzaa principles:
{Umoja} Unity – To remember to stay united in our efforts to challenge and disrupt oppressive systems that threaten our humanity and collective healing.
{Kujichagulia} Self Determination – To prioritize and determine for ourselves how we restore ourselves. To choose spaces that center our healing and validate our humanity.
{Ujima} Collective Work and Responsibility – To build and maintain our community. Cultivating collective healing spaces that are accessible and affordable is necessary because without collective work, progress is impossible, and liberation is unthinkable.
{Ujamaa} Cooperative Economics – To share wealth and work is to share concern, care and responsibility for our dignity and humanity. This is best achieved in a context of shared social wealth, a measure of our ability to build and maintain meaningful connections with others and ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources, regardless of their race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
{Nia} Purpose – To be intentional and committed to providing anti-oppressive, safe, and brave spaces to Black, brown, and other underrepresented people.
{Kuumba} Creativity – To celebrate and amplify our creative cultural ways of connecting, co-regulating and healing through artistic expression, communal eating, rhythmic movement, singing, moaning, shouting, and praising.
{Imani} Faith – To uplift and honor our community's vast myriad of spiritual expressions. To practice reverence and respect for one’s ancestral, spiritual, and indigenous practices and beliefs that have helped keep us safe and alive.
