Hello! I’m Khalliah Bryant! I’m a South GA native, wife, mom, creative director, wellness advocate, and community planner.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the psychology/behavioral health field. I have worked as a clinical therapist with foster care teens, their families, and Dept. of Juvenile Justice youth.
2020 sent us all on in a new direction, causing us to pivot and inspiring us to thrive. Now my clients want more out of life: to have more peace, to be more present, and to overcome obstacles life presents in this new season.
My approach is integrative; applying therapy, mindfulness, and physical health to promote holistic wellness.
I work with individuals starting at age 14, to adults, couples, and families. Mentoring, health workshops, and therapy in group settings are available upon request. I'm here to normalize therapy -especially for Black people, and show everyone that mental health is health. I believe that everyone has the remarkable ability to use change in their favor. You, too, deserve to live more and be well!

I believe that our minds can work miracles -even beyond comprehension, and that we all have the unique ability to create a life we’ve always dreamt of. It’s just that sometimes our past experiences, current situations, and limiting beliefs make the dream unclear. This is why I became a therapist to help others overcome the barriers that life presents, and to help them see that they too can live a life of fulfillment and wellness.
The journey through Therapy will be challenging and inspiring. If you truly want the life you envision, all you have to do is show up, be open, and “do the work” —one day at a time. You will have to embrace change and be open to the opportunities it can present!

•Narrative therapy helps clients separate themselves from their problems, allowing them to view challenges with more clarity. This distance empowers individuals to change their thought patterns, rewrite their life stories, and focus on their true potential. Developed by Michael White and David Epston in the 1980s, narrative therapy emphasizes viewing mistakes without self-blame or judgment.
Key elements include:
Deconstructing problematic narratives
Rewriting stories with healthier perspectives
Externalizing problems, recognizing "you are not your problem"
Focusing on positive traits to tackle life’s challenges
Therapists guide conversations based on client preferences, helping them uncover strengths and reshape their future.
This type of therapy is ideal for those who feel overwhelmed by their problems and want to separate their identity from their challenges. It helps those seeking to change negative thought patterns, reduce self-blame, and find more positive, empowering perspectives on their life experiences.
• Experiential Therapy is an expressive therapeutic technique in which the Client is called to do various activities that will challenge them to identify (and even experience) emotions associated with success, disappointment, responsibility, and self-esteem.
This approach works best with those who wish to be free of painful, unhappy, or otherwise bad feelings from past experiences, to change the nature of their current and future relationships, and to live up to their full potential.
•Family systems therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals resolve their problems in the context of their family, where many problems are likely to begin. Each family member works together with the others to better understand their group dynamic and how their individual actions affect each other and the family unit as a whole. One of the most important premises of family systems therapy is that what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone in the family.
