LICENSED THERAPISTS IN PEACHTREE CITY, GA

Your Healing Starts Here.

Therapy and mental health services for individuals, teens & children, couples, and families in Peachtree City, Georgia, and Florida.

OUR FOUNDER

Brooke Ferreira, LMFT

Nurture and Be was born from lived experience.

When founder Brooke Ferreira opened her practice three years ago, she was nine months pregnant — a therapist stepping into motherhood herself. That season built a desire to create the space she longed for herself during such a transformative time of her life.

From that vision came Nurture and Be: a place where women, families, and individuals can find the care, connection, and clarity that transforms not just their mental health — but their lives, their families, and their communities.

Here, therapy feels different. We’re here to welcome you to a therapy collective that treats the whole person and feels like home.

CREATED WITH YOU IN MIND

Care that’s designed to work together

At Nurture and Be, we believe healing happens in connection. We slow things down, listen deeply, and create spaces where you feel safe enough to be honest without judgment or pressure.

We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to walk with you, to help you see yourself clearly, and to remind you of what’s already within you.


Care here is collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced with intention — because real healing happens when you feel supported, understood, and safe.

Here, you can put it all down. Here, you can breathe again.

We believe therapy should feel like care — real care.

We believe there’s a better way — a way that feels like community, like exhaling, like coming home to yourself and finding your people.

Customer testimonials

From the very beginning, I felt heard, validated, and never judged.
Brooke helped me work through postpartum anxiety and other challenges in a way that felt manageable and empowering. Sessions gave me practical tools, clarity, and—most importantly—confidence in myself again.

-L.E.

I would highly recommend any of the wonderful staff to anyone for someone to share their experiences with. The offices are beautiful, comfortable and soothing a real place of zen.

-L.B.

Nurture and Be was extremely professional, responsive, and great to work with. They worked with me to get me scheduled quickly at a time that was best, and provided unmatched customer service. Highly recommend!

-J.W.

Her knowledge and ability to counsel those going through the rollercoaster we call life is phenomenal. She’s a young business professional, wife, and mother so it’s easy to relate on a personal level to many. If you are looking for an amazing therapist, look no further, you found her.

-S.T.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received during my postpartum period and therefore after. Brooke helped me navigate one of the most overwhelming and vulnerable seasons of my life with compassion, patience, and genuine care.

Does your team accept insurance?

We are passionate about your care and accepting insurance limits the way we provide services. We also value authenticity and trust and don’t believe in diagnosing when it is unnecessary.

We are out of network with most insurances, but can provide a Superbill when requested. This can then be submitted by you to your insurance carrier for possible direct reimbursement.

We have select therapists available in network with Cigna, BCBS and Aetna.

What does a 20 min Free Consult cover?

This will be a time for you and your therapist to start to get to know one another! The therapist will lead you through a few questions to understand exactly what you are looking for and make sure they are the best fit for you. It’s also the time for you to decide if you connect with your provider by personality, energy and modality!

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visitwww.cms.gov/nosurprises.
