As a Black and Latina woman who grew up with a military parent and an immigrant parent, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and adapting to multiple cultures.
Hi! My name is Michelle Flood and I am a multicredentialed, multi-degreed, and multi-disciplined mental health professional with 25 years in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from Florida State University, and a Master of Business and Administration from Savannah State University. Although I have worked with clients of all ages, my specialty ages that I serve are the children/adolescent and geriatric populations. These populations often struggle expressing their feelings and it is my pleasure to assist!
As a therapist who has also been a client, I know the thought of trying therapy can be anxiety-provoking and stress-inducing, especially for my aforementioned specialty populations. Because of that, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable with the therapy process so it feels like a safe space to express themselves without judgment.
Life can be so tough sometimes, making it difficult for us to engage in self-care. However, it can be so much easier to manage with a therapist's help. Being a therapy client myself has helped me so much throughout my life and I enjoy paying it forward. I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist with your self-care journey!

Guided by both formal clinical training and my own lived experience navigating ADHD, anxiety, and loss, I have a deep, authentic respect for how heavy life’s challenges can feel. While every client’s journey is unique, this background shapes my commitment to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we build practical, evidence-based skills to help you thrive—no matter what brings you through the door.
Hello, I'm Jessica Peterson, an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) at Thriveworks in Cumming, GA, supervised by Hannah Funderburk. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and specialize in offering compassionate, evidence-based care to children, teens, and adults. I work with individuals facing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, eating disorders, grief, and other life concerns. Whether you want to master practical self-regulation tools or simply need a safe space to be truly heard, I offer a warm, empathetic environment dedicated to helping you heal and move forward.
Therapy is a collaborative healing process—not a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and a variety of other therapies to meet you right where you are. I help you uncover your strengths, develop realworld coping tools, and process past experiences so you can navigate life with better ease and clarity.
Reaching out for support takes immense courage, but you don't have to navigate this season by yourself. Whether you are seeking practical coping strategies or a compassionate place to process heavy moments, I am here to support you every step of the way. I invite you to take the first step toward regaining your footing and schedule your initial session.

Having lived through immigration and personal transitions, I bring empathy and understanding for how complex life changes can impact our sense of self and belonging.
I’m Cecilia, and I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, cultural and family pressures, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, yet want deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier ways of coping. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and build resilience while staying connected to your values and identity.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally aware. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and CBT tools to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we move at your pace while building insight, confidence, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you when you feel ready to begin.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Clinicians working with adolescents in therapy commonly use techniques associated with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, experiential therapy, and motivational interviewing aimed to help teen clients cope with their feelings, reduce stress, self-soothe, reinforce positive behaviors and healthy thought processes, and develop/maintain healthy habits.
Adolescent therapists are skilled at teaching clients the most age-appropriate techniques to assist with emotional management, healthy coping, values exploration, goal-setting, relationships (boundaries), support, etc. Common tools taught in teen counseling may include distress tolerance, mindfulness, decision making and goal-settings skills, self-awareness and self-compassion, and effective communication skills.
Significant progress in therapy would be reflected in the teen's own self report along with consistent changes in mood and behaviors observed during session by the clinician, and outside of sessions by the support persons.
Teens in therapy, and their supports are often given homework to help continue practicing and reinforcing desired skills outside of the counseling session.
Teens and their families should always consider their own preferences, goals, and expectations when it comes to starting therapy.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Atlanta have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
