If you’re looking for counseling services with a therapist, Atlanta, GA may have one who can help, though it can be challenging to find a therapist with open appointments that fit into your schedule. Pursuing clinical mental health counseling through an online platform like BetterHelp can help you find a qualified mental health professional with appointments that fit into your busy schedule. Therapy cost can be a barrier when seeking therapy, too, but BetterHelp subscriptions range from just $65 to $90 per week (billed every four weeks). Therapy through BetterHelp may be cheaper than therapy with insurance, depending on your health insurance provider and insurance plan.

A BetterHelp therapist can help with a range of problems, from guiding you through commitment therapy for managing anxiety about romantic relationships to providing a supportive environment to work through family conflict or low self esteem. If you want to find a therapist who can provide a therapeutic approach to person centered therapy and help you lead a more fulfilling life, connect with the Atlanta-based therapists below.

As Brene Brown states "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen". I believe reaching out for counseling support takes courage as it leads us out of our comfort zone. Finding a supportive counselor is important and I base my practice on being a supportive and non judgmental partner to help you navigate your way through a difficult time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in the counseling field for over 25 years. My goal is to partner with you to provide timely counseling support for the current challenges you are experiencing. My practice is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) using Acceptace and Commitment Theory (ACT) to help clients make steps toward a meaningful life. I incorporate Solution Focued Therapy and Mindfulness Skills into my work to help clients resolve issues effieciently and gain skills to use on a daily basis. I work within a Trauma Informed framework. Often times making one or two small changes can free a person up to move toward the life they want to live. I wholeheartedly believe in the process of change and my work with clients continues to teach me about the resiliency of the human mind and the ability to move toward a meaningful life by increasing one's psychological flexibility. I love the work I do!

Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia (LCSW) and I have been working in the counseling field since 2004. I have experience working with children, parents and families in many different settings. My work has included guiding families through issues related to neglect and abuse, foster care and adoption, blended families and communication issues. I have worked with parents who are struggling with stresses related to parenting children and teens. In addition, I love assisting women who are struggling with the pressures of motherhood to find peace and confidence in that role. Another one of my heartfelt passions involves supporting young adults navigating the intricate challenges of the adult world. In today's fast-paced environment, finding one's path can be an overwhelming journey. I derive immense fulfillment from aiding individuals in navigating this complexity, assisting them in managing stress, and collaboratively devising a personalized roadmap towards a fulfilling life. I mostly tend to draw from a client centered modality when in a therapeutic relationship with my clients. This means that I make consistent efforts to meet each client "where they are" and to allow a space where each client can feel heard and that their feelings are valued. I also pull from other modalities to guide my work, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I enjoy and feel honored to be a part of someone’s personal journey towards growth and peace. I provide a non-judgment, criticism free environment where my clients can feel safe to share their feelings and develop a plan to move forward to a place of peace and comfort.
