    Malisa Funderburk, MA, APC

    Associate Professional Counselor

    "Life is challenging and is not meant to be walked alone. My desire is to come alongside you as you journey through difficult challenges and experience hope, healing, and abundance in your life."
    Buford, GA
    Available both in-person and online

    I am a compassionate therapist who creates a safe space to be real and meets you where you are without judgment. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Georgia State University and my Master's in Professional Counseling from Truett McConnell University in 2023.

    I love working with couples, women, and teens working through difficult areas of life. I encourage you to live intentionally and walk confidently in all that God is calling you to become. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-esteem, perfectionism, women's issues, premarital counseling, and couples counseling.

    God has developed a passion in me to minister to others through counseling. I want you to know that you are not ALONE. I would consider it a privilege to also offer biblical truth, prayer, and spiritual encouragement to those who are interested. I look forward to walking alongside you as you heal and grow through your journey.
