As a Black and Latina woman who grew up with a military parent and an immigrant parent, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and adapting to multiple cultures.
Hi! My name is Michelle Flood and I am a multicredentialed, multi-degreed, and multi-disciplined mental health professional with 25 years in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from Florida State University, and a Master of Business and Administration from Savannah State University. Although I have worked with clients of all ages, my specialty ages that I serve are the children/adolescent and geriatric populations. These populations often struggle expressing their feelings and it is my pleasure to assist!
As a therapist who has also been a client, I know the thought of trying therapy can be anxiety-provoking and stress-inducing, especially for my aforementioned specialty populations. Because of that, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable with the therapy process so it feels like a safe space to express themselves without judgment.
Life can be so tough sometimes, making it difficult for us to engage in self-care. However, it can be so much easier to manage with a therapist's help. Being a therapy client myself has helped me so much throughout my life and I enjoy paying it forward. I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist with your self-care journey!

Guided by both formal clinical training and my own lived experience navigating ADHD, anxiety, and loss, I have a deep, authentic respect for how heavy life’s challenges can feel. While every client’s journey is unique, this background shapes my commitment to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we build practical, evidence-based skills to help you thrive—no matter what brings you through the door.
Hello, I'm Jessica Peterson, an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) at Thriveworks in Cumming, GA, supervised by Hannah Funderburk. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and specialize in offering compassionate, evidence-based care to children, teens, and adults. I work with individuals facing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, eating disorders, grief, and other life concerns. Whether you want to master practical self-regulation tools or simply need a safe space to be truly heard, I offer a warm, empathetic environment dedicated to helping you heal and move forward.
Therapy is a collaborative healing process—not a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and a variety of other therapies to meet you right where you are. I help you uncover your strengths, develop realworld coping tools, and process past experiences so you can navigate life with better ease and clarity.
Reaching out for support takes immense courage, but you don't have to navigate this season by yourself. Whether you are seeking practical coping strategies or a compassionate place to process heavy moments, I am here to support you every step of the way. I invite you to take the first step toward regaining your footing and schedule your initial session.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Savannah have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Savannah, GA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
The teenage years are full of sky-high highs and depressing lows. It’s one of those experiences that we probably would never want to relive but look back on with happy nostalgia. Adolescence is hanging out with friends, after school activities, and late nights. But for many young adults, it’s also a time of anxiety and depression. Eating disorders, social anxiety, and suicidal ideations often peak in the teen years.
Add on top of that all the hormonal changes, brain maturation, the stress of figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life (and who you want to be), who you’re going to sit with at lunch, and how you’re setting yourself up for success. It makes sense teenagers often come off as grumpy and moody.
Of course, as a parent, you want to see your child happy and thriving. But there can be a block between parent and teen that is completely natural- it’s hard to know what’s going on in the brain of a teenager! Their brains literally process the world differently than you do.
That’s where Thriveworks Savannah can step in and be of service. We can be a bridge between you and them and walk with them as they grow towards a happier, healthier life. Your love can never be replaced. Some things are resolved more efficiently and faster with the help of a professional. Thriveworks Savannah is here to provide the space for your adolescent to heal and grow so they can live the best life possible, the life they deserve.
Thriveworks Savannah counselors’ main job is to listen and guide. Your adolescent is always the center of a session. No matter what they are going through- emotional, cognitive, or behavioral- we are here for them and you. There is never a problem so big it is without hope or one so small it should be ignored.
Another Thriveworks Savannah guarantee is to be judgement free. Having a space free of judgement can be rare in the mind of an adolescent, and it has a lot of power.
A few of the more common topics discussed in an Adolescent and Teenager Therapy session include:
It can be hard to recognize when your teen is struggling. It’s usually a slow decline to negative mental health, and one that can be easily missed. And once you or they do catch it, what’s the next step? Thriveworks Savannah is here to provide coping mechanisms and support designed to fit your needs and goals. If that’s not enough, we can help you find something or someone that will work. You child can overcome their battles and thrive in a healthy, happy matter.
One of the biggest stigmas surrounding adolescent counseling is that all adolescents go through mood swings or bad behavior. It’s just part of growing up, right? Let the kids be kids. It’s just one heartbreak. Everyone goes through High School.
But the truth is we may never know how far the hurt goes, so it’s important to listen and act upon whatever our teenagers are saying. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek help when possible. Good counseling has never hurt!
Thriveworks Savannah makes sure to individual every session. Every life is unique, and they deserve a unique counseling plan! We do have many tools and approaches that have been proved by research and experience to work well, and we are happy to teach them to you and provide a space where we can practice them.
Some people just need a good listener and some encouragement. Thriveworks Savannah is here for you if that’s what you think you need! Other people have trauma to work through or can’t seem to bust through a particular negative thought pattern. We are here for you too! Some techniques we can practice include:
There will always be hope, no matter how dark the situation is at the moment. Your child deserves the best. Thriveworks Savannah counselors are excited to help them get there.
