Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Athens, GA

Hello,

My name is Assumpta Nwagwu. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience helping people ages 13 and up feel more like themselves again. I take the time to understand what you’re going through before we build a plan together. Whether we’re working through medication options or talking through what's been weighing on you, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and hopeful about the road ahead.

I specialize in treating clients with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders/manic-depressive illness, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and trauma.

Hello, my name is Evalee and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia and South Carolina with over 25 years of experience working in mental health and social services as a counselor. I graduated from Savannah State University with a Master's degree in Social Work with a clinical concentration. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, life changes, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anger management skills, LGBTQ related issues, intellectual disabilities, women's issues, and caregiver stress. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

Some things sit at the intersection of your body, your history, and your identity all at once. Chronic illness that no one takes seriously. Fertility struggles that feel isolating. Postpartum experiences that do not match what anyone told you to expect. The grief of a life chapter ending. Most therapists are not trained to hold all of that. That is exactly where I work.

I am Dr. Crystal Holt, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a doctorate and sixteen years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I bring a cultural fluency and lived awareness into the room that credentials alone cannot teach. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic conditions, infertility, maternal mental health, and the full, complicated range of what it means to be a person navigating a world that does not always slow down long enough to let you heal.

I have 16 years of counseling experience and work with teens, adults, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also support clients dealing with panic, OCD, sleep concerns, relationship issues, family conflict, and substance use.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I take an open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented approach, and I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I provide therapy in English and French.

Hi, I’m Bianca Mitchell, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience and specialized training in diagnosing and treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions in adolescents and adults.

I provide thoughtful, evidence-based medication management with a collaborative approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. Whether you're navigating stress, life transitions, focus challenges, or long-standing mental health concerns, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can work together toward stability and growth.

I have extensive experience in telepsychiatry and high-volume clinical settings, which has strengthened my ability to quickly identify patterns, tailor treatment plans, and provide efficient, compassionate care. I also incorporate elements of supportive therapy and cognitive-behavioral strategies during visits when appropriate.

My approach is direct, structured, and patient-centered. I value clarity, accountability, and open communication. If you're ready to take the next step toward feeling better and functioning at your best, I look forward to working with you.

Hello, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals and families improve their mental wellness. I provide compassionate, personalized care for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, and life stress.

With a background in both healthcare and early childhood education, I understand the importance of supporting the whole person at every stage of life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.
