Alissa Darnell, LPC, C-DBT, 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 Floyd, LMFT, EMDR - Trained, CCTP, TCTSY
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.
Trauma Sensitive Restorative Yoga: $40/hr
As a means of survival during traumatic events the mind-body connection is severed. This disrupted connection compromises the development of one’s identity, autonomy, and ability to perceive internal sensations (aka interoception).
Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is a movement-based practice that aims to reconnect and fortify the mind-body connection. TSY does this by using invitational language to create opportunities for choice and creating a safe space for shared authentic experiences.
Yoga for Neurodivergence: $40/hr
Current research suggests that there is a correlation between neurodivergent disorders (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.) and certain physiological abnormalities such as joint hypermobility, connective tissue irregularities, and heightened pain sensations. These physical maladies often result in the over-use of certain muscles and the under utilization of others as a way to adapt to the compromised integrity of the connective tissues. Yoga for neurodivergence is a class engineered to provide support to over utilized muscles & strength to those that are underdeveloped, all while creating a shared authentic experience in a group setting to facilitate connection & belonging.

Frances Crawford, LMSW, EMDR - Trained
Life is a journey and sometimes we need help along the way to understand better and learn effective
coping techniques. In my therapy practice, I aim to help those learn these techniques through listening,
teaching, and coaching.
I have 20 years of experience working with individuals from different walks of life. My goal has always
been first and foremost to establish and cultivate a trusting relationship. Gaining a good understanding
of an individual’s struggles and where they would like assistance is the best place to begin. I utilize DBT
(Dialectical Behavior Therapy) type techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT to help individuals
learn skills to help them cope with daily life, get along with others and manage their emotions. Holding
a safe space for individuals to practice and learn these techniques and process their experiences in the
“outside world” is what leads person to feel comfortable and confident. Most commonly, I work with
people with chronic pain, personality disorders, relationship issues, co-occurring substance use
disorders, depression, and complex trauma.
I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). This intervention is useful for
processing traumatic events and negative beliefs. I am currently under supervision until I obtain my
LCSW. My supervisor is Carrie Stewart, LCSW (GA), LISW-S (OH).
I have been with my husband for 29 years and we have three daughters, a dog and a cat. I have found a
new hobby in “attempting” to garden and love to read and learn.
