For when your mind won't stop running.
I'm Maya Ellison, a licensed professional counselor. I help adults with anxiety, burnout and big life changes, in person in Midtown Atlanta or by video anywhere in Georgia.
Breathe with the light: in for four, out for four.
You might be here because…
- You lie awake replaying conversations from three days ago.
- Work stopped feeling manageable a while ago.
- A move, a breakup or a new baby knocked you off balance.
- You look fine from the outside and feel exhausted on the inside.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
“Anxiety usually makes sense once you see the pattern behind it.”
How I work
Sessions are practical and unhurried. Together we figure out what keeps the anxiety going, then practice responding to it differently, in the session and in the week between.
I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and a lot of plain conversation. You won't get homework you didn't agree to.
