Alissa Darnell, LPC, CPCS, EMDR Trained
As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to provide support and encouragement to people as they face life challenges, and I have assisted them in their journeys toward growth and wellness. My approach is warm, compassionate, and genuine, and my focus is holistic, allowing all aspects of your wellness to be addressed. It is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment so you feel comfortable while working through your areas of concern. Through counseling and education, my passion is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.
I foundationally work from CBT and DBT perspectives, and am trained in EMDR, which is a specialized training addressing trauma and other concerns. As we work together, I may utilize other techniques to meet your unique needs. My specialties include trauma, loss, emotional distress, and relationship issues.
I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, so I am sensitive to your value and belief systems when helping you accomplish your goals. A person's transition to wellness through personal growth is remarkable to observe and it happens every day. I look forward to meeting you!

Holly Turton, M.Ed., APC, NCC
Working with families, students, & individuals over the years has taught me that taking the first step in seeking help & guidance can be very rewarding. I hope to be a source of support in this endeavor. I will be with you providing guidance as you learn to navigate life & all that it may hold. As a professional high school counselor, I have experience working with countless students encountering a variety of challenges. Working with students sparked my desire to invest in both children & adults’ lives on a deeper & more consistent level. Today, I work at the Counseling For Growth & Wellness practice and as a high school counselor.
I have experience in counseling individuals with anxiety & depression. It has been my joy to to assist them as they develop coping skills that work for their needs. I enjoy working with families to improve cohesion. During these sessions, I have taught behavioral skills to the children & helped the parents explore techniques that work best for their family.
I operate from both a CBT and solution-focused perspective. I have found that these frameworks work wonderfully together to help identify areas in your life that are causing tension and practical ways of realizing your true self. Warmth and open-mindedness will always be at the forefront of my sessions. I would love to help you on your journey to wellness.

Holly Floyd, LMFT, Trained EMDR
After receiving invaluable warmth and empathy during my experience of therapy I knew it was my duty to give back to others the same compassion. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that has been helping people with mental health diagnoses ranging from depression & anxiety to PTSD & Bipolar Disorder for over six years. In addition to individual counseling, I work with couples, families, and other relational groups to increase harmony and manage conflict within those systems.
I have focused my continued education on interventions and services for people who have survived trauma. I use an eclectic and collaborative approach to assist clients with the management of symptoms that follow trauma and often manifest as PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder, or grief. To do this I have completed training in EMDR Therapy and am currently in the process of completing my certification in Trauma Sensitive Yoga.
For three years I was the school counselor for the Greene County school system in Greene County Georgia and I continue to take great pride in helping children & adolescents with both mental health and relational struggles.
