our mission
We believe humans have what they need to survive and thrive within their internal framework. To grow in this knowing is to explore and discover. At Peachtree Creative, we aim to provide a unique and holistic approach in efforts to foster growth, independence and emotional regulation. With this intention, we join our clients in this exploration of perspective to challenge, encourage & empower a healthy & aware sense of self. Our expressive modalities enhance the structuring of a secure mind-body connection, strengthen self-compassion and encourage a growth mindset.
We approach this mission through the creative methods of Art Therapy, Play Therapy, traditional talk therapies and parent collaboration.

our beginning
We all have to start with someone taking a chance on us. This is our story.
​
Catherine and Dianna (C&D) started their journey together at Peachtree Art Therapy & Counseling as colleagues providing creative therapies to children and teens under the supervision and leadership of the amazing Megan McSwain Mann! Megan poured into C&D both as clinicians and friends over the years and imparted a deep appreciation for the innate wisdom our clients carry. Megan’s creative brain, belief in our abilities, and genuine optimism created an ideal learning environment that fostered growth and encouraged each clinician to develop their own unique approaches!
In 2021, Megan and her family relocated to Vermont and her role shifted away from director/owner of PATC to opening a new business, Wide Range of Normal, focused on providing parent coaching, family support, and peer consultation! You can check Megan out on her website: www.widerangeofnormal.com! Megan’s move opened the doors to new and unexpected opportunities for C&D as business owners themselves! In the summer of 2021, Catherine and Dianna opened their new practice, Peachtree Creative Counseling! The vision of PCC continues to nurture a path of creativity, empathy, and growth that helps hearts and minds blossom into their fullest potential! We have truly learned from the best and are forever grateful for Megan’s ongoing support and encouragement!!
