For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I allow clients to explore past experiences, often through a trauma lens, thought processes, and relationships, in an environment that is safe and confidential without judgment. I also integrate complementary methodologies and techniques tailored to each client

I am a trauma-focused and trained psychotherapist with nearly eight years of experience. I have worked and continue to work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, identity questions, grief, relationship issues, and immigration concerns. My role as a therapist is to provide support and guidance through life-challenging situations and to assist clients, when ready, to move their lives in the way they believe they should. Listening is a powerful tool, and one gains understanding and compassion. I offer clients the space for their voices to be heard as they seek comfort and healing.

Therapy isn’t a magic wand, it’s intentional work to change. You’re right to be cautious, but it will be worth it.

Consistently for 20 years, I've partnered with individuals and families facing a myriad of crises. I am passionate about empowering people to thrive through life transitions. As an Advanced Palliative and Hospice Social Worker, I am skilled in supporting caregivers caring for their loved ones, preparing for end of life, and managing grief. Working with couples is near and dear to my heart. I enjoy helping couples develop a solid foundation, build intimacy, and maintain healthy relationships.  

Therapy is something that all of us need at times.  The right therapist makes the biggest difference.  If you meet with a therapist 3 times and you don’t feel it’s a good fit, ask for a referral or go elsewhere. Don’t give up!

I seek to provide the highest quality counseling services in an affordable, Christian environment. I believe that Christ is the center of healing and strive to glorify Him in all that I do. I have extensive experience working with recovery from substance abuse, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and BiPolar Disorders. Through collaboration with churches in our community, I am the most affordable private pay option in the Chattahoochee Valley. I blend Christian principles and proven counseling techniques together to provide an atmosphere that encourages true healing and clear way forward. I seek to share the love of Christ with all who come into my counseling office and trust Jesus to provide healing in His way and His time. I believe in redemption and new beginnings for all people.

I offer a free 15 minute preview to beginning therapy together to assess whether we will work well together. I am friendly and easy to speak to specializing with youth & families.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Being witnessed in your whole story can be life-changing. I operate with the goal increasing your self-acceptance, agency, compassion, and confidence in navigating your life. In therapy, we will work at your pace and comfort level. I may make suggestions, but I will never tell you what to do—I believe you know what you need, and may benefit from some assistance in identifying it but I'll always trust you when you tell me.

Who am I really? How do I have better relationships? What’s the point of life? Is something wrong with me? Where do I belong? Can I heal? Are you asking yourself these questions? Are you ready to find some answers? Let’s co-create a space where you can find your internal compass, release your burdens (personal, intergenerational, cultural) and figure out what real change looks like. I’m here to help you embrace the intricate beauty and messiness of who you are. I bring to sessions boundless curiosity, caring challenges, and commitment to building trust at your own pace, all while keeping the focus on you. I am a trauma therapist at my core, and work a lot with folks who are navigating alternative sexualities and relationship styles (kink/BDSM, polyamory, ace, aro, you name it), living with chronic illness or disability, and exploring their gender (which is for cisgender folks too!). My approach is integrative in the sense that we will attend to your emotional, intellectual, and embodied ways of being. Are you ready to make meaning of your life in a way that integrates all of your experiences? Being witnessed in our whole truth can offer deep healing. I hope our work together will catalyze internal liberation, strengthening our shared path toward collective liberation.

Good therapy assists you into gaining insight into yourself and helps you gain the skills necessary to feel better. Don't hesitate to reach out!

In your career or personal goals, you've found success, yet a lingering sense of emptiness remains.

If any part of this resonates with you, know that you're not alone, and there is hope for change. I specialize in helping people just like you unlock new perspectives and rediscover inner strengths. Through our work together, you can expect to gain insight, emotional mastery, and a shift toward a more authentic life. If you seek relief from past traumas, want improved relationships, or long to regain a sense of control, I can help. I meet clients where they are and provide a safe space for exploration and growth.

I am aware that considering seeking therapy is a big deal. Especially, if you grew up in an environment that told you to keep your problems to yourself or that it is viewed as a sign of weakness. Let us deconstruct those ideas that have not served us. We matter! As such we need to allow ourselves to be helped. I would tell someone that is hesitant in seeking therapy to give it a chance. At most, you will learn something about yourself that you did not realize before.

Welcome! My name is Kenia Rijo and I am the Founder of Mind, Body And You Therapeutic Services. I have over a decade of experience in clinical settings working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity and anxiety. I am fluent in Spanish which allows for one to be able to serve a large range of clients in their healing journey. In my work I believe it is important to work together to help you develop coping skills, reduce anxiety and stress, cultivate self-love and compassion, and find peace using a strengths-based and person-centered approach. But most importantly our relationship will center on building a better and healthier you as whole- in mind, body, and spirit. It can feel like life is happening too fast and you may feel like you need air to breathe. Together we can work on setting manageable and realistic goals. In the process of wanting more for yourself, you may miss all the small victories that are just as important. Let’s work together to allow you the space to become your authentic self.

I wish I could tell those who are hesitant to try therapy that I truly believe that anyone and everyone can benefit from therapy. Going to therapy does not mean that something is “wrong” with you or that you need to be “fixed.” It does not mean that you are “crazy” or “broken.” Going to therapy can be about gaining a deeper understanding of your identity and values, learning how to improve your relationships and better your communication, healing from trauma, navigating major life transitions, and so much more. Regardless of your background or circumstances, you deserve support and guidance through life’s challenges. 

My name is Shira Collings (she/they). I specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image distress, and those wanting to break free from diet culture. As a diet culture dropout myself, I am passionate about supporting others in finding freedom with food and body acceptance. I am also passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folx, as well as those with substance use and trauma histories. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the Health At Every Size paradigm and body liberation. It is also informed by feminism, disability justice, and queer and trans liberation. I believe that healing comes from feeling heard, seen, and valued, and I strive to create a space in which clients can express their full, authentic selves.

Therapy is a scary experience, confiding in a stranger, sitting or viewing them on a screen, answering questions. Therapy is also a huge step in moving forward often times our friends/family listen, but the problem still remains. Therapy gives you the tools to find a solution, I don't judge, we all have stories, I feel honored when someone opens up to me and shares their story.

I utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working with clients. One call or email is all it takes to get connected.
