Herman Bunn
For more than two decades, I’ve sat with people in some of their most vulnerable moments—times when life feels heavy, confusing, or painfully uncertain. I’ve witnessed how depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self‑doubt can quietly shape a person’s world, and I’ve also seen the strength that emerges when someone finally has a space where they don’t have to carry it alone. My work is rooted in the belief that every person’s story deserves to be met with respect, curiosity, and compassion. Clients often come to me during major life transitions or when relationships feel strained or overwhelming. Others arrive feeling isolated, unsure of their purpose, or disconnected from their own voice. Together, we slow things down. We make room for emotions that have been pushed aside. We explore patterns that once protected you but now keep you stuck. And we build the resilience needed to move toward a life that feels more aligned and grounded. Culturally responsive care is central to how I practice. I honor the identities, histories, and lived experiences each client brings into the room. Whether you’re navigating workplace stress due to the trauma of individual or institutional racism , ageism, healing from relational wounds, or searching for deeper self‑understanding, my intention is to offer a steady, empathetic presence as you find your way forward. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, please, or pretend. You get to be fully human—and fully supported—as you grow.
Teresa Rutledge
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who chose this profession later in life because I have always had the desire to help others in ways that will really make a difference in their lives. I am empathetic and a good listener. I provide emotional support to my clients without judgment. Many of my clients have suffered from trauma, isolation, and rejection from family and friends. Some of my clients have experienced episodes of self harm, suicidal ideations, and suicide attempts. I primarily use a client centered approach, as I believe that clients are capable of making the right decisions for their lives with the right support. In addition, I use other therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, anger management, motivational interviewing, and coping skills for anxiety and depression. I prefer to work with adults, but will work with older adolescents as well. Mental health is as important as physical health, and when one suffers, the other suffers as well. So many people do not seek the help they need because of fear of being labeled or stigmatized. As human beings, we are creatures of memory, and sometimes our pasts keep us from becoming the person we want to be. I want to be the one to help you become your best self.
Ebony Morish
Hello, I’m Ebony Morish, and I believe that healing begins with the courage to look beneath the surface. Sometimes, the most meaningful changes happen when we are willing to dig deeper not only to better understand ourselves but also to uncover the tools, strengths, and resources needed to move forward. My role is to walk alongside you throughout that process, providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. With experience in community mental health, school-based counseling, and individual therapy, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and every individual's journey deserves a personalized approach. My therapeutic style is grounded in a person-centered, holistic philosophy. I believe you are the expert on your own experiences, and therapy should be a collaborative process that honors your voice, values, and goals. I focus on the whole person—mind, body, and emotional well-being. Recognizing that meaningful healing involves more than simply managing symptoms. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, relaxation techniques, and social skills development. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and crisis-related challenges. Beyond my professional role, I am a proud mother and Army veteran. My military background has deepened my passion for serving others, particularly fellow veterans and individuals navigating the challenges of major life transitions. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending quality time with my children, hiking, exercising, connecting with nature, and relaxing with a good movie. I believe healing happens when we give ourselves permission to pause, reflect, and grow. You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. You simply have to be willing to take the first step. Whether you're seeking clarity, working through past experiences, or learning to navigate your present circumstances, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Let's dig deeper, discover your strengths, and create space for the healing and change you deserve.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Georgia, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Georgia, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
