Empower Your relationships & Stop anxiety and depression – Experienced Atlanta Counselors

Karen Michael, LPC, CCH -Currently accepting new clients for virtual sessions.

Many of the people I work with have spent years managing things on the
surface—staying productive, showing up for others, and doing what’s expected but
internally, something still feels off. They may be dealing with anxiety, overthinking, or
relationship patterns that keep repeating, along with a sense of “I should be able to
handle this—so why does it still feel this hard?”

My work focuses on helping you understand what’s actually driving those patterns.
Rather than just managing symptoms, we look at how your thoughts, emotional
responses, and relationships are organized, and begin to shift them in a way that
leads to more clarity and stability over time.

I work with both individuals and couples. With individuals, I focus on anxiety, OCD, relationship challenges, and the impact of past experiences that continue to show up in the present. With couples, I help partners understand the patterns they get caught in, improve communication, and rebuild connection. My work with couples is informed by Gottman Method training (Level 2).

My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) (the gold standard treatment for OCD) and trauma-informed work. I also incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and hypnotherapy when it’s
appropriate and useful.

Many of the clients I work with are navigating demanding careers, leadership roles, or high personal expectations, and feel the strain of holding it all together. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in Human Resources leadership, which gives me a firsthand understanding of those environments and how they can intersect with anxiety, burnout, and relationship stress.

I tend to work in a way that is steady, direct, and collaborative. The goal is not just to feel better in the moment, but to understand yourself in a way that allows things to actually shift.

I offer virtual sessions for adults located in Georgia.

Olga Marshall, LCSW- Currently accepting new clients with same week availability.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in private practice as well as a variety of treatment settings, including serving as a Clinical Director, where I supported both clients and clinicians through complex mental health needs. These experiences have given me a deep, practical understanding of care at every level, and have shaped the thoughtful, steady approach I bring to my work today. I earned my degree from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and integrate both professional training and real-world experience into each session.

At the heart of my approach is the belief that healing happens through genuine human connection. I strive to create a warm, safe, and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself—without fear of judgment. While I bring clinical knowledge and leadership experience into our work together, I see therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, honesty, and meaningful conversation.

I use a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy, always tailoring sessions to meet your unique needs. My focus is on helping you feel supported and understood as you navigate difficult moments and move toward growth, clarity, and balance.

I have extensive experience working with diverse individuals, including those who may have felt hesitant or discouraged by past therapy experiences. Building trust and rapport is central to my work, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients—celebrating their progress, supporting them through challenges, and helping them reconnect with their own strength and resilience.

Mikela Hallmark, MS, LPC – Founder

It is my joy to serve this community. I tend to see a lot of high achievers who set unrealistic and demanding expectations of themselves. While they long to reach their personal goals, they find themselves experiencing anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. My clients would describe me as someone who works with them to release judgment and care for themselves while pursuing their passions.

In terms of experience, I worked in business before becoming a counselor, and that helps me connect with some of my clients who might achieve in this area. And, I’ve been a counselor for around thirteen years, serving in various capacities in residential treatment, clinical leadership and administration, and in private practice. I’ve received training in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, ERP for anxiety and OCD, EFT for couples counseling, treating affairs for couples, attachment based trauma treatment, treating depression and anxiety counseling, and more. I am also trained in Gottman Method (Level 3) which is for couples therapy, and certified in EMDR which is an incredible trauma treatment. I’m a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.

I am passionate about avoiding judgment, exploring practical solutions, and helping you explore feelings and some of the more complicated things in life that don’t necessarily have easy solutions (which can seem like an impractical approach for some of my high achievers.) But that’s okay, we work with it all.

Currently accepting new clients.
