Dr. Vanessa Bowen
*******I am currently NOT doing couples counseling******* I have been providing counseling in various settings for over 20 years, with 14 years as a licensed professional. I am a counselor who provides services in the state of GA and Utah. I hold a Doctorate of Theology in Christian Counseling and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked closely with Veterans, people suffering from adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, couples, empty nesters and other persons who are experiencing loss or grief or relationship problems. My style of counseling includes cognitive behavioral therapy; helping you to improve your mental clarity by thinking and developing coping mechanisms to overcome the issues that are concerning to you. My approach utilizes motivational interviewing. I want to point out the incongruence in what you say versus what you do; so we can begin to realign your thoughts with your actions and behaviors. Help in whatever area you are struggling with is just an email, click, text or phone call away. What are you waiting for; lets help you become your best self.

Dr. Natalia Kuzmina
My name is Dr. Natalia Kuzmina. I hold a Ph.D in Couple and Family Therapy. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified EMDR therapist. My work centers on people who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—survivors of narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, experiencing trauma bonding, or relationships where they’ve been used, manipulated, or made to feel small. Many of my clients come to me exhausted from always being the “strong one,” the peacekeeper, the fixer. They say yes when they want to say no. They feel guilty for setting boundaries, or they’ve never had the chance to build them in the first place. They’re people-pleasers, and chronic caregivers who keep ending up with partners or family members who take far more than they give. I help you break that cycle. With EMDR and other science-based approaches, we work at the root—not just on the symptoms. We target the wounds and experiences that trained your nervous system to accept too little, tolerate too much, and abandon yourself to stay safe. My style is direct, grounded, and compassionate. I will challenge you when it helps you grow, and I’ll support you without judgment. My goal is for you to build a solid sense of self—one that doesn’t collapse around other people’s needs. One that knows how to say no without guilt, how to choose partners who respect you, and how to walk away from relationships that damage you. If you’re ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building a life where you feel safe, valued, and in control, I’m here to walk that path with you.
