Mary Frances Pierce

Licensed Professional Counselor

My ideal client may be navigating anxiety, a life transition, or attachment patterns that leave them feeling stuck or unsure of themselves. I work best with people who want to better understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, and feel more confident and secure moving forward.

About Me

You may be considering therapy because you feel overwhelmed by a life change, caught in anxious thoughts, or discouraged by patterns that keep repeating in your relationships. I support people navigating transitions, anxiety, and attachment or relationship concerns who want to feel more grounded, understand themselves more clearly, and create meaningful change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Peachtree Corners Counseling, I value getting to know each person with openness, curiosity, and genuine care.
