Are you looking for extra support through a challenging situation you're currently facing? Are you overwhelmed by daily life? Have you been feeling like you're all alone in your struggles? We strive to be an oasis for you in the difficult moments you are facing. We are not here to preach to you or tell you what to think or feel, but to work with you as you seek out personal answers, increase your coping skills, and make choices that are healthy for you. We provide an empathetic and non-judgmental environment and offer practical feedback, tools, and resources to help you make positive changes in yourself and your life. We can work together during your counseling sessions to better understand, move past, and navigate current concerns and/or heal from past traumas so that you can have a fulfilling and meaningful life. We offer free 15-minute phone consultations with one of our counselors so you can determine if counseling at OCC is right for you.
Are you having challenges lifting the weight of everyday life? Would you like to experience transformation but not sure how to begin? Are you ready to cultivate peace in your life? Have you lost a sense of intimacy with yourself or others? LET'S TALK! I am a firm believer in the connection between mind, body and spirituality. I am passionate about incorporating somatic healing into the room and am currently training as a Yoga instructor. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. When working with couples or families, I tend to incorporate the Gottman Method or the Internal Family Systems approach. I am interested in partnering with individuals, couples, families as well as small groups. My therapeutic style is direct and I often float between therapist, coach and educator. I am currently accepting BCBS, Cigna, Aetna as well as self-pay. With an expertise in trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, sexuality and grief, I am intentional in helping others to find balance! Taking that first step towards healing can be hard, but you are worth it! I will walk you through the therapy process and gladly answer any questions you have. If you would like to set up an appointment please email me at: serenapyhw@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting you!
I believe therapy should be a place where you can explore all parts of yourself, find your voice, and build a life that feels true to who you are. Whether you're navigating identity, life transitions, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, learning to prioritize your own needs, or the anxiety and depression that can come along with it all, I'm here to support you. I'll help you notice patterns, ask the questions that spark reflection, and create a space where we can be honest, curious, and probably laugh together too.

Adjusting to college life can be difficult on so many levels. I can help with anxiety and depression issues that you've been struggling with for a long time or that are new to you. Issues I often see are related to adjusting to being independent for the first time, the rigor of school, or navigating new social circles. I have special expertise in helping folks with body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling) as well as being training in cognitive behavioral treatment of insomnia.
Young adulthood is tough, and I love helping my clients learn how to balance the stress of college with the rest of their life. I have worked with many young adults who struggle with perfectionism or burnout. For specific treatment concerns, I specialize in working with young adults struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, ADHD/AuDHD, BFRBs (skin picking/hair pulling), and insomnia/sleep optimization. I can help if you're curious if you have a specific diagnosis and want to learn more, or if you're looking to understand yourself better and feel like you have the tools you need to handle whatever life throws your way. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and experienced in working with these clients. My office is about 5 min from the KSU campus in Kennesaw, and I see clients virtually as well.
Hello, my name is Kenneth Wilson, am I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I served over 22 years of honorable service in the United States Air Force. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); however, the most critical aspect is the quality of the therapeutic relationship and collaboration. I love working with the military and adult population. I have had training in Trauma, Anxiety, Anger and Mood Disorders.
I work with young adults who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, body image concerns, and challenges in their relationship with food. Many of the individuals I work with are high-achieving and driven, but find themselves struggling with stress, self-doubt, burnout, or feeling like they are never quite doing enough. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. Together, we explore the factors impacting your mental health—including relationships, daily habits, societal pressures, and life transitions—while helping you develop practical tools to manage difficult emotions, build self-confidence, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. I strive to provide a supportive space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change.
In our "land of the free," experiences of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma are increasingly common. Many feel weighed down by shame about the past, dread about the future, or disconnection in their relationships. Our culture that demands constant productivity makes it easy to lose sight of meaning and connection. I work with people navigating these challenges, particularly those at the intersections of religious trauma, neurodivergence, and gender & sexual identity. If you're searching for clarity, growth, and connection, I am here to partner with you. My practice is informed by DBT, ACT, psychodynamic theory, and intersectional feminism. I aim to be a fellow explorer and accountability partner. Above all, I am a curious person, and I thrive on finding the joy and (sometimes dark) humor in everyday life. I know that finding a therapist and scrolling through profiles can be stressful or scary. If you're feeling that way, we can start there. In our sessions, no topic is taboo or off the table (try me). Authenticity is never wasted, and I want to meet you in whatever stage you're at, mentally and emotionally. Reach out and let's chat.
