Hi, I’m Atiyana Ivy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the founder of Calming Corner LCSW, PLLC.

I created Calming Corner with the intention of providing a supportive and compassionate space for anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the stress that come from life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overthinking, or struggling to feel like yourself, therapy can help you slow things down and make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

I believe that many people do not struggle because they are “failing,” but because they are moving through change without adequate support.

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s lived experience. I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, understood, and supported. Together, we work to build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create a sense of stability during times of uncertainty.

Calming Corner serves as a reminder that your mental health matters. Growth is not about perfection — it’s about learning, adapting, and giving yourself permission to be human along the way.
