Y'all, how rich and engaging do these questions sound??
From Dr. Collins, on her upcoming training, on May 8th at NCC:
- Can something be ethically compliant and still create harm?
- How do institutional systems shape ethical decisions in counseling?
- Are clients truly safe enough to tell the truth in therapy?
- How do professional norms influence authenticity in the therapy room?
Come get your required 5 hours of Ethics CEs -- and spend the day in a wonderful community!

We are super excited to welcome Dr. LaVerne Collins to NCC on Friday May 8th for a continuing education workshop for therapists! Dr. Collins is a wonderful and engaging teacher.
As Dr. Collins shares: "Rather than focusing only on compliance with ethics codes, this training explores how ethical care unfolds where policy, culture, power, and human vulnerability intersect. If you’re a clinician who has ever felt that ethical decision-making is more complicated than the textbooks suggest, this conversation is for you."

All of us had good things going. Elizabeth Wilder Young worked in Buckhead and Dana Goldman was doing therapy in the Old Fourth Ward; Maggie Akstin was counseling in Inman Park and Emily Gosterisli was expecting a new baby. Tara Lozano had gotten used to the long commute to Alpharetta. Combined we had decades of experience doing therapy but we weren’t really looking to start a new counseling center.
And then Elizabeth stumbled into the upstairs suite at 2033 Hosea Williams Drive in the fabulous neighborhood of Kirkwood—the neighborhood that is home to three of us and close to home for the others. She fell hard and fast. The natural light! The wooden floors! The privacy and quiet! And the location, so much closer to home than Buckhead!
Soon, Elizabeth brought Dana to see the space. Dana took one look at what had been a conference room and envisioned a light-filled office close to home. Dana was sold.
Together, Elizabeth and Dana began wooing Maggie and then Emily. A year later, Tara—an old colleague of Ginny and Dana—gave up her commute to join us.
Now here we are: a group of five therapists who are committed to working hard to help our clients have easier lives and being of service to the larger communities of Intown Atlanta and Kirkwood. We’re so glad to be here, and we hope to meet you soon.
