DISCOVER CALMNESS, CONFIDENCE, AND SELF-COMPASSION.
Therapy for Anxiety, OCD, and Perfectionism in Marietta and Online across Georgia.
Something has you feeling stuck.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in overthinking, weighed down by self-doubt, or caught in patterns that are hard to break, therapy can help.
At Core Counseling Services, I provide therapy for adults in Marietta, Georgia and online therapy across Georgia for those struggling with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, women’s issues, and life transitions.
You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or constantly on edge underneath it all. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand what you’re carrying, and begin making changes that actually help you feel better.
The pressure to hold it all together is exhausting.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by overthinking, guilt, self-doubt, or the constant pressure to be perfect, you’re not alone.
Maybe your mind rarely slows down. Maybe you replay conversations, second-guess yourself, or feel like you’re constantly trying to stay one step ahead of everything. You may be so used to meeting everyone else’s expectations that you’ve lost touch with what you need.
When you’ve been carrying so much for so long, it can be hard to imagine things feeling any different. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and begin moving through life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
Who I Work With
I often work with adults who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted underneath it all.
Many of my clients are used to pushing through, staying busy, and taking care of everyone else while quietly struggling with things like:
chronic worry and overthinking
intrusive thoughts
perfectionism and fear of failure
people-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
guilt and self-doubt
low self-esteem
burnout and emotional exhaustion
life transitions and uncertainty
They’re often thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring, but tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns.
If that sounds familiar, therapy can help you better understand yourself, break out of old cycles, and start feeling more grounded in who you are.
HI, I’M HEATHER.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS).
I specialize in working with Atlanta-area adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, women’s issues, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel understood, challenged in helpful ways, and empowered to grow.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself or clinical supervision as a therapist, I’m passionate about creating a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported in where you’re headed.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can slow down, be honest about what’s going on, and feel supported without judgment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD treatment.
Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build tools to help you cope more effectively, and create meaningful change that feels sustainable in your day-to-day life.
Therapy isn’t about becoming a completely different person. It’s about helping you feel more connected to yourself and more able to move through life with confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.
I specialize in working with high achieving adults who are ready to better understand themselves, break out of old patterns, and feel more confident in the way they move through life.

How it works
Ready to take the next step?
I invite you to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a chance for us to connect, talk through any questions you have, and determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
If you decide to move forward, I’ll send over my client forms electronically so we can begin the process with clarity and ease. From there, we’ll use our first few sessions to better understand what’s bringing you in and begin identifying the goals that feel most important to you.
I recommend starting with weekly sessions to create a consistent space where you can feel seen, supported, and begin making meaningful changes. Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself.
