Keri Challen, MS, Therapist
Life has a way of pushing us into seasons of transition—sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected. You might be navigating the end of a relationship, adjusting to new parenthood, or facing another significant change that feels overwhelming. These moments can bring up anxiety, grief, or a sense of being stuck. If that’s where you find yourself, you don’t have to go through it alone.
I know how hard it can be to find your footing when everything feels uncertain. As someone who has experienced my own life transitions, I understand how challenging and disorienting these moments can feel. I’m here to help you process the emotions that come with change, find clarity, and take steps toward healing at your own pace.
I work with individuals as well as couples, understanding that relationships often bring their own unique set of challenges, particularly during times of transition. Whether you’re seeking support in improving communication, managing conflict, or navigating a difficult period in your partnership, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to help both partners feel heard and move forward together.
I especially enjoy working with people who are moving through loss and grief, knowing that everyone’s experience of loss is deeply personal and healing doesn’t follow a straight path. I also love working with parents, particularly those navigating the challenges of raising children with behavioral or emotional struggles. Parenthood is full of complexities, and I believe support can make all the difference.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just need help finding a new way forward, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
I am currently pursuing licensure in the state of Georgia as an Associate Professional Counselor. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and a B.A. in Music Education from Valdosta State University. I receive clinical supervision from Amy Robbins LPC CPCS, and direction and secondary supervision from Jaime Filler LMFT.

Olga A. Attebery, LAMFT, LAPC, Therapist
Sometimes in the midst of struggle it is hard to be hopeful. When it’s hard, it is my privilege to hold hope for you.
As a first-generation American I am sensitive to the complexities of a multi-cultural existence. My role as a therapist is to provide a tranquil space in which to nurture hope. I strongly align with a person-centered approach to therapy, wherein the therapy relationship is collaborative. I will work together with you to set and work toward your goals.
My therapeutic perspective also relies heavily on family systems, which requires consideration of a client's whole family dynamic and how it shaped them. Additionally, if a client desires to include their faith perspective in therapy, I am able to incorporate faith as much or as little as desired. Time with clients is sacred and it is important to me that my clients enter into a space where they feel safe, understood, and supported.
I work with both men and women, as well as couples. I have a passion for working with couples through affair recovery and other difficult transitions. I am a Certified Couples Betrayal Recovery Therapy Candidate (CCBRT-C). I’m also trained in the Gottman method and use this approach along with techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help my couples reach their relationship goals. I also have a passion for working with trauma, grief and loss, affair recovery/betrayal trauma, and addictions.
I am currently dual licensed in the state of GA as an Associate Professional Counselor (APC008598) and as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT000767). I have earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Richmont Graduate University, and a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology with a certificate in Latin American Studies and Global Studies Certification from Georgia Gwinnett College. I am a member of the Georgia Association of Marriage & Family Therapists, American Association for Marriage & Family Therapists, American Counseling Association (ACA), and Christian Association of Psychological Studies (CAPS).
I am supervised by S. LaShay Dowley PhD (c), LPC and receive clinical direction from Jaime Filler LMFT. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
My hope is that your time with me will be an opportunity to exhale any heaviness that you are holding and inhale hope for the future. I strongly believe that you have the potential for a brighter tomorrow.
Olga’s session rates are $150 (50-minute session) and $225 (75-minute session).
Olga’s specialties include Couples Therapy, Depression Therapy, Grief and Loss, Substance Abuse and Addictions, and Anxiety Therapy.

Jaime Filler, LMFT, PMH-C, Clinical Director
The decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one. It is my goal to build a strong relationship with each person who comes to my office, to help them feel comfortable so they can fully benefit from the therapeutic process. In therapy, I often use humor to put my clients at ease and lighten the mood when it is appropriate. My collaborative and supportive approach allows my clients to draw on their own strengths to overcome current obstacles and begin to make positive changes in their lives.
I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. This means what works for one person does not always work for another and I tailor my approach to fit each unique client. In my practice, I use evidenced-based therapeutic methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, in addition to family systems theory. I am also trained in the Gottman Method for couple’s therapy and EMDR for trauma.
I have experience working with a variety of issues that impact adults, couples, and families. My areas of focus include maternal mental health, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship problems. I am particularly passionate about working with women and their partners who are struggling with the challenges that come with becoming a new parent. I am a certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home Program Educator, and provide workshops to help couples in the transition to parenthood.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT001198) , Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), and AAMFT Approved Clinical Supervisor. I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from San Jose State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I’m a member of Postpartum Support International and a clinical member of the Georgia Association of Marriage & Family Therapists and the American Association for Marriage & Family Therapists.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
On a personal note, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures, cooking, practicing yoga and getting out into nature with my family.
Jaime’s specialties include pregnancy and postpartum therapy, anxiety therapy, therapy for depression, grief and loss counseling, and couples therapy.
Jaime’s session rates are $185 (50-minute session) and $280 (75-minute session)
