Dr. Fountain is an advocate for mental health wellness and embraces preventing mental illness.  For the past 13 years, she has focused on providing children with a voice via play and adults with a safe place to overcome life's challenges.  Dr. Fountain has experienced several challenging life events (trauma, parental loss, child loss, etc.) so she understands the courage that it takes to look inwards and heal wounds.  She enjoys helping people of all ages, uses talk and non-verbal therapies (e.g., play therapy, game therapy, sand therapy), and has a passion to care for business/helping professionals, parents, and those with experiences of grief, pregnancy/child loss, and trauma.  

Dr. Fountain has extensive experience in higher education as a counselor, professor, and clinical supervisor and teaches  master's and doctoral level courses at Mercer University, Georgia State University, and for Morehouse School of Medicine's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship program. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the World Association for Sand Therapy Professionals.  Dr. Fountain has presented over 150 trainings locally, nationally, and internationally, has supervised over 100 mental health clinicians, has shared at 15+ speaking engagements, and has written six professional publications.  When in "relaxation mode," she loves being with family, traveling, reading, learning, crocheting, and playing tennis.  Dr. Fountain's credentials include the following:

  • Education
