I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing tools to create meaningful change.

Hi, I'm Manas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years experience working with clients from all walks of life. I've focused on helping individuals through anxiety, low self-esteem, major life changes, issues in relationships, low confidence, anger problems, stress related to education, issues at work, and addiction. I received my Master's in Social Work from the University of Georgia. In my free time I enjoy music, movies, art, poetry, family, and friends. Out of pocket charge is negotiable depending on your financial situation.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

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.
