Embrace Strength in the Face of Adversity
Our team
Lydia Bishop, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Canton, Georgia. I earned my Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Kennesaw State University and began my career as an adult probation officer with Cherokee County, where I saw the need for greater access to mental health support. This led me to return to Kennesaw State University to earn my Master of Arts in Social Work.
I have since worked with adolescents and adults in Drug and Alcohol Treatment Courts, Juvenile Detention Centers, private practice, and in-home community counseling.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for lasting change. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, family issues, divorce or separation, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, self esteem and people on the autism spectrum.
I also have experience supporting polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships, offering an affirming space to explore identity, relationship dynamics, and personal values.
In addition, I bring a unique skill set grounded in a financial background, allowing me to effectively support couples who experience conflict around money. Financial stress can be a significant source of tension in relationships, and I help clients explore these dynamics, improve communication, and develop healthier, more collaborative approaches to managing finances within the context of their relationship.
My approach is relational and grounded in authenticity. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Family Systems, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Brainspotting—a brain-body approach used to process and release trauma, emotional pain, and anxiety.
I am passionate about supporting clients in growth, healing, and self-discovery, and I meet each person with compassion and respect.

Gwen Shehorn, LAPC
I work with teen and young adults who feel weighed down by self-doubt, stress, or the pressure to meet expectations at school, in relationships, or within their families. Many of my clients want to feel more confident, express themselves openly, and manage overwhelming emotions without shutting down or overthinking. They want a space where they can slow down, be understood, and begin to build trust in themselves. Together, we focus on self-worth, emotional balance, and finding healthier ways to meet their needs.
My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I focus on building strong therapeutic connections while exploring the deeper experiences that shape who we are. In session, we work on strengthening confidence, learning to meet our own needs, and managing stress through emotion-focused, acceptance-based, and attachment approaches. I am also trained in brainspotting an approach that helps identify, process, and release deep neurophysiological sources of trauma, emotional pain, and anxiety. I believe everyone deserves a fulfilling life and has the capacity to create it.
My passion lies in helping young women move past self-doubt, embrace their worth, and develop the tools and confidence to live authentically.
Melissa Wetherington, LMSW
In my practice, I work with individuals navigating a wide array of challenges, including life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. I understand that each person's journey is unique, which is why they seek guidance during difficult times. I help clients who desire a personalized, tailored approach to therapy where their specific needs and goals take center stage. I particularly enjoy working with young adults.
I believe that therapy should never be a “one-size-fits-all” experience. It is essential that our work together is individualized to meet the unique circumstances of your life. To achieve this, I use a multidisciplinary approach that integrates various evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness Techniques. I am trained in EMDR and certified in The BLAST Technique for trauma resolution
I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your story freely. My goal is to ensure that you feel supported, understood, and valued throughout our therapeutic journey. Finding the right therapist is akin to finding the perfect pair of shoes; it should feel supportive and comfortable.
I invite you to reach out so we can work together to create a truly transformative therapeutic experience. Embrace the opportunity to close old chapters and embark on a path toward a happier, healthier life.

Lydia Weidman, MS
With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a passion for early intervention, I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood.
I take a holistic, strength-based approach to counseling, integrating techniques from cognitive-behavioral and humanistic therapies.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related symptoms, behavioral challenges, interpersonal difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I value the trust that is built within a therapeutic relationship and the importance of working together to meet the client’s needs.
Committed to fostering self-awareness and emotional well-being, I integrate creative approaches such as art and music into therapy to help clients process experiences, build coping skills, and develop meaningful connections. My goal is to cultivate a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel supported in discovering their strengths and achieving personal growth.
