Therapy can help you learn more about yourself and lead a more meaningful life. If you’re looking for a therapist, GA has many options for online treatment. Finding a therapist in Georgia can be challenging. Barriers to treatment, like a lack of available providers or transportation issues, can make it challenging to find in-person treatment.
While BetterHelp does not currently provide group therapy, you can get one-on-one treatment with a licensed psychologist, social worker, marriage and family therapist, or other mental health professional. Every therapist on the platform has a master's of arts or science degree. Note that while BetterHelp providers have a wide range of experience, they do not offer mental health care to children or use techniques designed for younger clients, like play therapy, at this time.
BetterHelp providers use a holistic approach and a variety of therapeutic techniques to ensure that they meet your unique needs. If you need help developing coping skills, improving self-awareness, or facing challenges in your family, counseling can help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Developmental Disabilities Professional who has worked in the counseling and social services field for 20+ years. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Spelman College in 1997. I earned the distinction of graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Arts degree in Counseling & Psychological Services from Clark Atlanta University in 2003. While at Clark Atlanta University, I served as President of the Honor Society. I have extensive experience providing a variety of counseling services such as doing individual and group sessions with families and children, career counseling, high school transitional rehabilitation counseling for with students with learning disabilities and I have provided counseling services through the Superior Court programs and detention centers In 2005, I served as a Disaster Mental Health specialist first responder immediately following Hurricane Katrina, where I travelled to Louisiana to provide mental health and guidance for those in need of crisis stabilization. My approach as a counselor, I like to work with people terms of the parts of the self. We are made up of several different elements that makes you who you are. Together, we identify the areas that you want to improve and go from there. I also approach treatment from a “How did I get here perspective?” We will take a look at all of the people places and things that led up to where you are now, figure out what your priorities are then create a plan. With your permission, I like to impart a bit of spirituality, not religion, as motivation. Spirituality is all of the things that feeds mind body and soul. It can be the things that give you a sense of purpose. (All of those approaches have big fancy names but we will talk about that later ????). I like to impart humor into my sessions. I am a firm believer that laughter and humor is therapeutic for the soul. Lastly, I like to think of myself as a people person. I enjoy helping people to reaching their fullest potential and finding inner peace. It brings me joy to help others become their “best self”. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, non-judgmental and a safe space to process things, then you have come to the right place.

Hey wonderful being. Welcome to taking the first steps toward carving out the life you desire. You might be curious about my 12-year journey in this work, but let's face it – what you really want to know is whether I can rock your world or not. Well, let me tell you all the ways I can enrich your life My specialty is relationship wellness and everything that comes with being in a relationship to make it work. This could vary from communicating the hard stuff, redesigning sexual intimacy, opening the relationship to new partners, getting your needs met, learning to be more yourself, rebuilding trust, and so much more. I support a variety of relationship dynamics, whether you're into classic monogamy, the wild world of polyamory, the daring realms of kink and BDSM, or even the captivating universe of swinging. Furthermore, you don't have to be in a relationship to see me, you can be single, dating, or just dealing with overwhelm, overthinking, over-giving, over-performing, people pleasing, codependency, or perfectionist thoughts and behaviors with lovers, family, and friends. No matter what you are going through, my mission is to equip you with the keys to break free from the jail of your own mind. My approach may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but why don't we dance together and see if we find a vibe? Here's the fun part – my toolbox is packed with a smorgasbord of transformative goodies: --Hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious) --Visualization (painting your dreams) --Guided Meditation (inner exploration) --Somatic/Body Work (connecting with the physical you) --Parts therapy (exploring your inner family) --Inner Child work (explore inner true you) --Breathwork (unleashing your breath's magic) --Narrative Trauma Work (rewriting your story) --Psychoeducation and Mindset Shifting (transforming your mental landscape) --Tapping/EFT (channeling your energy) --Conscious communication (unlocking the power of effective dialogue) Lastly, my schedule is late afternoon to late evening. If this is something work for your schedule, let's connect on this journey together. Watch this intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6-NidpfnWU

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some commonly asked questions can be found below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
How do I know if I should get a therapist?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Georgia can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy safe?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
