Struggling with anxiety that's affecting your life and your relationships?
There is help for that!

Mashfia Ahmed shares her thoughts on the importance of seeing a Culturally Aware therapist, and how it contributes to feeling seen.

It comes from being a 1.5-generation immigrant and an undiagnosed dyslexic. Writing has not always felt easy or natural for me, but this topic ma...

The pressure to "be strong" often forces men to mask what they’re really feeling. In men, depression and trauma don’t always look like sadness; they often show up as persistent irritability, social withdrawal, or feeling constant pressure in relationships.

For men of color, these challenges can be even more complex when navigating systemic stressors alongside personal ones.

Our therapists Sam Jones, LCSW, and Kerry Kerns, LMSW, provide a dedicated space for men to process these weights without judgment.

Sam Jones specializes in working with BIPOC men to navigate racial stress, masculinity, and emotional satisfaction.

Kerry Kerns helps men and couples break down negative communication patterns to build more resilient relationships.

Asking for support isn't a sign of weakness - it’s a strategy for long-term strength.

Imagine a space where you could say the thoughts you’ve never said out loud - and instead of judgment, you found understanding. 🤍

Merrium Stidham helps people navigate the complex, often misunderstood world of OCD and intrusive thoughts.

Merrium specializes in creating a soft place to land for those struggling with:
✨ Relationship doubts and "what-ifs"
✨ Intrusive thoughts that feel scary or taboo
✨ The pressure of perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety
✨ Finding self-trust when your mind feels like it’s lying to you

You are not 'crazy.' You are anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a loop.

Let’s work together to break that loop and help you feel steady again.
Merrium is currently accepting new clients in Tucker and via telehealth throughout Georgia.
