Hello, I'm Mr. Huebner!

I serve as an Associate Therapist at Atlanta Counseling and Diagnostic Center. With a steadfast commitment to fostering personal growth, mental health, and holistic well-being, I strive to empower each client on their unique journey. I earned my Master’s degree from Mercer University in Atlanta and completed my undergraduate education at Valdosta State University. As a proud native of Barrow County, Georgia, I am deeply devoted to giving back to the community that has shaped my values and aspirations.

My clinical focus centers on supporting college-aged men and women as they navigate the distinct challenges and transformative opportunities encountered during this pivotal stage of life. Whether addressing academic pressures, career development, or personal growth, I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment tailored to each client’s individual needs. Beyond my professional role, I enjoy spending my free time fishing, playing basketball, and cherishing moments with my family and friends.

I am currently accepting new clients, both virtual and in-office, and look forward to the opportunity to work together.

Hi, I’m Ms. Lemus!

Born and raised in Savannah, I bring southern charm and a compassionate presence to my work in mental health. I am a dedicated therapist, passionate about aiding the community with life challenges. With eight years of experience and a specialty in addiction, I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and psychoeducation. I tailor my methods to each client’s unique needs and believe deeply in the transformative power of talk therapy. As a bilingual therapist, I am grateful to serve clients in both English and Spanish.

Known for my warm, bubbly, and supportive energy, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where healing and personal growth can flourish. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Armstrong State University and completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University, graduating with Cum Laude honors. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and spending time with my two German Shepherds. I look forward to walking alongside you on your wellness journey! 

Hola! soy Ms. Lemus

Nacida y criada en Savannah, aporto encanto sureño y una presencia compasiva a mi trabajo en salud mental. Soy una terapeuta dedicada y estoy profundamente comprometida con apoyar a la comunidad en los desafíos de la vida. Con ocho años de experiencia y una especialidad en adicciones, utilizo una variedad de enfoques terapéuticos, incluyendo la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC), la Entrevista Motivacional (EM), la Terapia Centrada en la Persona (TCP), la Terapia Centrada en Soluciones (TCS) y la psicoeducación. Adapto mis métodos a las necesidades únicas de cada cliente y creo firmemente en el poder transformador de la terapia de conversación. Como terapeuta bilingüe, me siento muy agradecida de poder atender a clientes tanto en inglés como en español.

Conocida por mi energía cálida, alegre y de apoyo, me esfuerzo por crear un entorno seguro y acogedor donde la sanación y el crecimiento personal puedan florecer. Obtuve mi Licenciatura en Psicología en Armstrong State University y completé mi Maestría en Consejería Clínica de Salud Mental en Liberty University, graduándome con honores cum laude. Fuera del trabajo, disfruto hacer senderismo y pasar tiempo con mis dos pastores alemanes. ¡Espero poder caminar a tu lado en tu camino hacia el bienestar!

"I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Mercer University. After getting my degree in Psychology at Georgia State University, I felt compelled to deepen my understanding of how to help others. I believe that understanding the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is key to growing into our best selves. I prioritize patience and connection with others during difficult times, and I bring that same empathy into my work as a counselor.

Outside of work, I love to spend my free time with friends, family, and their pets! Some of my hobbies include thrifting, crafting, and experimenting with new coffee recipes. I also practice meditation and holistic wellness practices, which I am open to exploring in sessions as well. Throughout our sessions, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard and empowered. I would like to help you discover your strengths and provide support throughout the process."

Hello everyone, 

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Liberty University and am currently completing my internship at Atlanta Counseling and Diagnostic Center. Before pursuing my passion for counseling, I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I had the privilege of supporting children and families through their growth and development.

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My counseling approach is holistic and integrative, focusing on creating a warm, compassionate space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to discover their strengths. I believe that even when difficult things happen to good people, healing and growth are always possible.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my small white dog, a Yorkie–Shih Tzu mix. I also love walking outdoors and trying new foods, as they remind me to slow down and appreciate life’s simple joys.

I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Hola a todos. Soy estudiante de la maestría en Consejería Clínica de Salud Mental en la Universidad Liberty y actualmente estoy realizando mi internado en Atlanta Counseling and Diagnostic Center. Antes de seguir mi pasión por la consejería, trabajé como Técnico de Conducta Registrado, donde tuve el privilegio de apoyar a niños y familias en su crecimiento y desarrollo.

Me apasiona ayudar a las personas a navegar los desafíos y las transiciones de la vida. Mi enfoque de consejería es holístico e integrador, y se centra en crear un espacio cálido y compasivo donde los clientes se sientan escuchados, apoyados y empoderados para descubrir sus fortalezas. Creo que, incluso cuando le suceden cosas difíciles a personas buenas, la sanación y el crecimiento siempre son posibles.

Fuera de la consejería, disfruto pasar tiempo con mi pequeño perro blanco, una mezcla de Yorkie y Shih Tzu. También me encanta caminar al aire libre y probar comidas nuevas, ya que me recuerdan la importancia de desacelerar y apreciar los placeres simples de la vida.

¡Espero poder conectarme contigo muy pronto!
