I believe that therapy should feel supportive, practical and real. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life transitions and just want to feel like themselves again. This is a space where you can talk openly without judgment while also gaining tools that actually help in everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear about your next steps.

Many high-performing adults are used to being the one others depend on. From the outside, life may look successful and put together, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or constantly questioning yourself despite your accomplishments.

I specialize in working with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, parenting, and personal expectations while struggling with anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, or stress that never fully seems to shut off. Many of my clients are successful professionally but find themselves struggling to feel fully present at home, connected in relationships, or able to truly slow their mind down.

I also work with adults navigating depression, major life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and the pressure of trying to manage everything while continuing to perform at a high level. Often, the same strengths that help people succeed professionally can also contribute to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like they always need to stay in control.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or simply “talking about feelings.” It is a practical, supportive, and collaborative process focused on helping you better understand yourself, improve emotional awareness, manage stress more effectively, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded and confident in both your personal and professional life.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Atlanta

Finding addiction therapists in Atlanta starts with matching the care to the concern you want support with. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, behavioral addictions, relapse prevention, recovery maintenance, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, or alcohol-related concerns, along with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or medication-assisted treatment coordination. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Atlanta has many therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and the Old Fourth Ward, so the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether an in-person office fits your commute, parking needs, or MARTA access, or whether virtual appointments give you more scheduling flexibility. It can also help to look for therapists who are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and describe a non-judgmental approach to recovery. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist talks about addiction care, whether they mention harm reduction, and what you can expect from sessions.

Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists offering in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
