Chelsea James
I was born in Florida, raised in Tennessee along with my three siblings, and moved to Georgia in 2020. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Music Business and my MBA from MTSU, and I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with a Graduate Certificate in Trauma Counseling.
As a trauma-informed counselor-in-training, I have a heart for helping clients navigate through relational issues, complex trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring a supportive and empowering approach to counseling, with an emphasis on growth. I am comfortable accompanying clients throughout their journeys, no matter the pace. I incorporate attachment theory, internal family systems, and emotion-focused therapy concepts in my practice.
In my personal life, I enjoy going to concerts, traveling, and cuddling up with my two energetic puppies, Rosie and Waffle, and my brave little kitten, Goose.

(She/Her/Hers)
I am passionate about working with teenagers and supporting them through a crucial stage of development. Working full-time as a high school counselor, I have a front-row seat to the trials, challenges, and trends occurring in the lives of teens and I use that knowledge to inform my practice. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use solution-focused approaches to help clients find practical and effective ways to create sustainable changes in their lifes.
Trained in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy (NT), my practice style helps clients explore their identity from multiple perspectives, as well as examine environments, relationships, and behavioral patterns to identify opportunities for growth. I believe life is more enjoyable when we think creatively; therefore, I often use art-based practices, lots of analogies, and games in my work with clients. I find these approaches help therapy not feel so “heavy” for teens, too!
I am in constant awe of the resiliency of teens and adolescents. It is a pleasure to walk alongside them as they explore new methods of coping, communicating, and ultimately, watching them grow into the version of themselves that they are destined to become!

(She/Her/Hers)
I am a dedicated mental health counselor in training with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for personal growth, connection, and improving well-being. My approach integrates compassion and a holistic perspective, guiding clients toward healing, self-discovery, and resilience. Whether addressing anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered.
Born in Virginia and raised in North Carolina, I am the oldest of five siblings and was brought up in a Christian household, which instilled in me strong values of faith, empathy, and service. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, dancing, arts and crafts, and indulging in a good scary movie! I believe that balance and self-care are essential to well-being, and I encourage my clients to explore their passions and create meaningful experiences in their own lives.

Taylor Pastor APC
As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in working with adults and couples dealing with complex trauma, chronic illness/pain, grief, relational issues, and spiritual concerns.
I am passionate about offering a nurturing space for individuals to pause, process, and heal. My approach integrates somatic therapy to enhance body awareness and foster a deeper mind-body connection. Additionally, I draw upon attachment theory and other therapeutic modalities to provide comprehensive and individualized care. My goal is to help clients feel safe enough to experience joy again, not just endure trauma. Together, we will work in a collaborative format to process pain and develop deeper self-awareness.
I am honored to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment for my clients. It’s a privilege to be a part of your journey towards healing and rediscovering joy.
Fun Facts about me: I love Haribo gummy bears and would only eat those if possible. I have two dogs, Blu and Tucker, neither of which are certified as therapy pets.

Justice Runkle
Hi, my name is Justice Worthy Runkle. I was born in New York and raised in Marietta, Georgia. I am the youngest of three siblings and grew up in a Latino household, which has given me the privilege of being fluent in Spanish. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2022, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regent University, where I expect to graduate in Spring 2026.
Through my academic and personal journey, I have developed a passion for helping individuals find healing and hope as they navigate life’s challenges. My counseling style integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices. I particularly value a person-centered approach for individuals and enjoy utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples. Above all, I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and compassionate space for clients from all walks of life.
Beyond counseling, I love to serve others through mission work, homeless ministry, and advocacy for survivors of child and adult sexual abuse. I am also a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which has allowed me to work closely with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, writing poetry, playing guitar, and spending time with animals.

Amy Strang
A little bit about me… I am a Georgia native and have grown to love living in Atlanta more than I ever thought I could. When I am not in the counselor’s chair, I can often be found with a cup of coffee and a good book, cooking up a new recipe, or spending time in community with loved ones.

Sarah Warner
I am originally from Oklahoma but have lived in a few different states over the years before ending up in Georgia. I love spending time with my family, taking my dog on long walks, and a good cup of coffee. I am passionate about continuing to grow towards others and towards God. I believe everyone deserves a place to feel heard and understood, and it would be my greatest joy to give you that space!
We are relational creatures, and we all deserve to have someone to share our story with. Whether that’s through play-therapy or talk-therapy, we each deserve a space that can give us healing and help us flourish into who we are meant to be. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
