About Our Therapists

 

Felicia Kanu, LMSW

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)  in Georgia, providing individual therapy and relational / couples therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Smith College School for Social Work and hold undergraduate degrees in Public Health and Psychology. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, including college counseling centers, private practice, and community-based care. My clinical experience includes crisis stabilization, assessment, and supporting adults and couples as they navigate emotionally overwhelming experiences, particularly when stress, trauma, or attachment patterns impact relationships.

My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I believe healing happens in relationship, in spaces where you feel safe enough to be honest, brave enough to be vulnerable, and supported enough to grow. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels grounding, affirming, and nonjudgmental. In our work together, I help clients build stronger connections with themselves and others through emotional clarity, accountability, and gentle, grounded truth-telling. We will unpack what lives beneath the surface, shift stuck patterns, and create space for honesty, softness, and repair. Whether you are healing, growing, or rebuilding, we will walk through it together. I am attentive to how identity, culture, race, gender, sexuality, and lived experience shape mental health and relationship dynamics.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, relational, and informed by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT / EFT) and attachment-based therapy. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and psychodynamic approaches to support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and executive functioning. I work with neurodivergent adults, including those with Attention-Deficit and Autism-related experiences, as well as highly sensitive people seeking tools to manage emotional overwhelm, set boundaries, and thrive in demanding environments. I also provide couples and relationship therapy for couples and polycules seeking support around communication, trust, emotional safety, and secure attachment, including those navigating polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. This work often includes support around consent, jealousy, and healing relational injuries in open and non-traditional relationships. I have completed Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Core Skills training and am working toward full certification. I am currently eligible to sit for the Licensed Clinical Social Worker exam and engage in ongoing clinical supervision to support ethical, thoughtful, and effective care.

If you are feeling curious, uncertain, or ready to begin, therapy can be a meaningful place to start. I invite you to reach out when it feels right and we can explore together whether working together is a good fit.

Sage Weatherby, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia. I grew up in Georgia and have lived most of my adult life in Atlanta. I attended Berry College, where I received B.F.A. in Studio Art. I worked in the jewelry industry for several years before returning to school. I earned my Masters in Social Work (M.S.W.) and a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy at The University of Georgia. In the years between my degrees, I navigated life as a young adult, negotiating relationships and managing a career change.

Since becoming a mental health therapist, I have provided therapy in residential, day treatment, intensive outpatient settings, and private practice. My experience is working with individuals with a dual diagnosis (mental illness and addiction). Through this experience, I noticed that the family members are an integral part of the patient’s recovery and often do not have the support that they need to manage their role in their loved one’s life. Since moving into private practice, I have focused on working with folks in this support role, either through individual, couples, or family therapy. I also work with folks in all kinds of transitions and points of the journey as they explore the relationship between their past, including the family of origin, and creating the future they want to design for themselves. 

I am a mindfulness-based therapist that encourages meditation, mindfulness, and body-centered strategies. I have experience and training in a wide range of proven and effective therapeutic approaches. For trauma, I have trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is an evidence-based approach for helping you heal from painful parts of your past. For couples therapy, I have received training for Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman therapy. I also have experience with dialectical behavior therapy (D.B.T.) and cognitive behavior therapy (C.B.T.), which can help us cultivate skills, build insight, and better relationships, with ourselves and others.

I work from a holistic perspective and provide integrated care through communication with other providers that may be a part of your treatment. We identify other support areas for you in the community, including personal practices, support groups, and other providers. 

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change and I hope to build a relationship of trust and collaboration with each person. Through therapy, we bring about lasting change so you can reach your goals. It would be an honor to be a part of this journey with you.
