About
You don’t have to have everything figured out to take the first step toward healing. Sometimes, you simply need a safe place to begin. Healing begins when you feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and understood.
Hello, I'm Trinell Robertson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. With more than 15 years of experience in healthcare, I have learned that caring for the whole person means recognizing that behind every diagnosis is a unique individual with their own story, experiences, strengths, and challenges. Having had the privilege of caring for individuals across many stages of life, I have developed a deep understanding of the connection between physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.
Whether you are struggling to manage anxiety, depression or trauma, experiencing difficulty with sleep or mood, or trying to find your way through a challenging season of life, you do not have to navigate it alone. I am committed to walking alongside you with compassion, respect, and understanding as you work toward balance, growth, and healing.
Most importantly, you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. If you have been waiting for the right time to prioritize your mental health, let this be your reminder that it is okay to ask for help. I look forward to creating a safe space to help you feel more like yourself again. You are worthy of care, healing, and a meaningful life.

I believe in meeting you where you are, making sure you feel heard and understood, and walking alongside you as you heal, grow, and become the best version of YOU.
Hi, I’m Quiseonna, a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, life transitions, and substance use. Therapy isn’t just about talking, it's also about those “ohhh, now that makes sense” moments. Together, we will explore the why behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills for real life change.
My approach is person centered and practical, using CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and build skills you can actually use outside of therapy. Expect a supportive space where we can do the work, celebrate the wins, and turn those “aha!” moments into real life growth.
You don’t have to have all the answers before starting therapy. Sometimes showing up is the first step. Healing takes time, patience, understanding, and consistency, and I’m here to walk alongside you through the process. When you are ready, I would be honored to connect with you and take that next step together. You deserve a space to simply be you.

I’m a trauma‑informed therapist who blends warmth, clinical precision, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience to help clients feel safe, seen, and capable of meaningful change.
I am an associate professional counselor in Georgia, and I support clients who've been carrying a heavy load alone and are finally ready for relief from always having to be strong. I work with children experiencing big feelings they can't yet name, teens trying to understand who they are, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions. My clients often want to feel more regulated, connected, and grounded, understand their emotions, and break old patterns. I offer a warm, steady space where you can feel seen rather than judged, understood rather than dismissed, and supported as you build tools that fit your life.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions, using person-centered, trauma-informed care with therapeutic play foundations, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based practices. I support clients in developing communication and coping skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I offer a supportive, goal‑focused space where you can explore what's been challenging and gain clarity about your next steps. If you're considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out so we can explore whether working together aligns with the changes you are hoping to make.

Having lived through immigration and personal transitions, I bring empathy and understanding for how complex life changes can impact our sense of self and belonging.
I’m Cecilia, and I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, cultural and family pressures, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, yet want deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and healthier ways of coping. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and build resilience while staying connected to your values and identity.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally aware. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and CBT tools to help you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we move at your pace while building insight, confidence, and meaningful change.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you when you feel ready to begin.

In navigating the challenges of everyday life, I recognize the importance of prioritizing self care and exploring the areas of our lives that need healing.
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I hold a bachelor's and master's degrees in social work. I am clinically licensed and have worked in the field since 2009. I have worked with adults and adolescents in telehealth, inpatient, and field-based settings. Many of the individuals I have worked with have experienced challenges around relationship dynamics, sudden loss, marital and financial stressors, infidelity, negative peer relationships, body image, and balancing career and household demands. The individuals I have worked with are no different than most of us, who on some level are seeking balance, peace, and reassurance.
In our work together, I seek to give space to investigate root causes to some of your most pressing issues. Through exploration, utilizing mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches, we will work toward more clarity and self-acceptance. You can expect a receptive and compassionate, judgment-free approach.
I know that showing vulnerability and transparency can be tough, but I would like to share that space with you. I can best support individuals who are motivated toward change and are insightful. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. If this sounds like you, reach out!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

A go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is mindfulness. Clinicians find the best benefit in mindfulness because it helps clients respond objectively, which helps with self-criticism.
Clinicians can teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:
Clinicians know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they are able to self-regulate.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with radical acceptance, accepting reality as it is.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can have questions ready to ask the clinician if they are unfamiliar with DBT.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Lawrenceville, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
