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.

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!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Therapy for women uses traditional psychotherapeutic techniques implemented through a feminist lens to help women deal with the emotional and mental ramifications of being a woman in today’s society. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists will target issues like toxic masculinity, gender roles, misogyny, and other problems that women face daily and their impact on their mental health.
Therapy for women works much like traditional therapy, but will also integrate person-centered and humanistic therapy approaches at the forefront of treatment. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists who specialize in treating women acknowledge the unique experience of each individual while treating a wide variety of concerns with empathy, compassion, and respect.
Therapy for women at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for women will often last until the client feels that their therapeutic goals have been met, whether it continues for a few months or over the course of years. However, treatment should last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time therapy takes to have a lasting impact.
We all walk through life a little differently. No one has the same background, genetics, or personality as you do. But even in this incredibly diverse world, some experiences are more commonly shared amongst certain people.
Women commonly experience events that are unique to women. Even if it is a broader experience shared between both men and women, women might experience it differently because of genetics, social norms, and upbringing.
Of course, many of these experiences are full of joy and excitement. But there are situations that can pull you down with their sorrow, pain, and frustration. If you are walking through such a time, know that Thriveworks Woodstock is here for you. We understand that some issues can only be truly understood by other women. This fact shouldn’t be ignored, and we have the specific tools and empathetic approach that can help you heal and grow.
Counseling for Women is much the same as counseling for the general populace. You will always be the driving force in the counseling session, that doesn’t change. Our focus will be on your concerns, your goal, and your situation. Our job as counselors is to give you tools so you can build the life you desire and provide encouragement, support, and empathy as we walk with you.
Women’s Counseling is no different. You are still empowered to be in charge of your own path. The difference is in how we approach and solve problems. Thriveworks Woodstock understands that the issues you as a women face aren’t entirely comparable to what a man might face. These differences shouldn’t just be brushed aside, they should be inspected and used to further your healing and growth.
Counseling is made more powerful through a shared connection. By walking through your trials with someone who understands, you are more likely to open up and push yourself to grow. Counseling for Women’s Issues at Thriveworks Woodstock strives to provide you with exactly that.
Your experiences as a woman are important and valid. Sometimes, they can be trying. But you are never without hope. Thriveworks Woodstock is fighting in your corner. Together, we can build the life you dream of.
As always, Thriveworks Woodstock believes issues of all magnitude are important and worth addressing. The concerns, insecurity, and pain you’re fighting are holding you back from the person you want to become and the life you want to live. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever. Thriveworks Woodstock is here to expedite the process of healing and growth so you can live with freedom now.
With Women’s Issues Counseling, we can take a focused look on the issues that plague you because of your gender. We can also address topics experienced by the population at large but affect women a little differently. A few examples include:
This is far from a complete list, and we can talk about whatever comes up in a counseling session. As mentioned before, counseling is all about you!
Research has suggested that women are more likely than men to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. And many mental health issues look differently in women than they do in men. These differences are isolating and confusing, but personalized therapy can be a big step in combatting it and healing.
On top of gender differences as they relate to the mental health world, gender stereotypes and assumptions continue to plague women. The belief that women are simply more emotional, less competent, or not as smart are a few examples of stereotypes that- while have lessened significantly- still persist.
It’s worth noting here that studies have been done on women and men’s brains and determined they are strikingly similar. What does this mean? The differences in mental illness rates are not because women are more emotional or weaker as many stereotypes lead you to believe. While they do have a genetic proponent, they are also driven by the unique situations a woman experiences.
The individualized nature of mental health combined with a history of negative stereotyping means counseling for women’s issues should be a little different than counseling for the general populace. We are not the same nor should we be, and that remains true on an individual and gender-wide level.
Thriveworks Woodstock always offers nonjudgmental, empathetic counseling. We strive to walk with you to a healthy, happy place where you can grow on your own. It’s a future not far out of reach.
