I am Jesmond Fair, born and raised in rural Alabama and later became an alumnus of The University of Alabama. I completed all my graduate training at UGA and am calling Atlanta home. I am a gay Black Christian cis-gender male. For most moments of the day, I have a random song on repeat in my head. This can be attributed to my background in vocal and instrumental music. I believe in being real. So, clients can expect facial reactions, slang, occasional profanity, laughter, and even tears.

Please do not use the booking function on this page. Call or email me directly for a free 15 minute consultation. Therapy is a "later in life" career for me. I have worked in multiple fields and with people from many backgrounds. Through this I learned that the thread connecting all of us is our desire to be able to respond rather than just react and thrive rather than just survive. What prevents this are the beliefs, experiences, and traumas that often are held in our bodies. It is when we identify and resolve these, we will live and love fully.

Hi, I’m Priscilla Powers, a Licensed Professional Counselor, School Counselor, and Professor of Counseling with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education.

With extensive experience in adolescent and family dynamics, I specialize in helping clients navigate:

  • Clients often come to me for support with:
    • Anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions
    • Self-esteem, perfectionism, and fear of not being “good enough”
    • College and academic challenges
    • Career uncertainty and post-graduation transitions
    • Identity development and life direction
    • Dating, breakups, and relationship patterns
    • Attachment and communication
    • Family relationships and developing healthy independence
    • Boundaries and difficult conversations
    • ADHD-related organization and time management
    • Grief and significant life transitions
    • Major decisions about relationships, careers, and the future


My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems work, and trauma-informed care—tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to make meaningful changes in your life.


If you’re seeking a counselor who combines therapeutic expertise, deep compassion, and decades of experience, I’m here to help.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Atlanta

Searching for therapists in Atlanta starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist has experience with those needs. Atlanta has a wide range of therapists across areas like Midtown, Buckhead, East Atlanta, Decatur, and beyond. Many people look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match what you want to work on. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other forms of care.

In a major metro like Atlanta, having many choices can make the search more complex. Narrow your list by deciding what matters most for your schedule, location, and comfort with appointment format. Some people prefer an office near home, work, or transit routes, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. It can also help to check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking gives you a clearer sense of how each Atlanta therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Atlanta who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare therapist bios, and choose between in-person and virtual availability when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
