Hello, my name is Tabitha, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I earned my Masters in Rehabilitation Professional Counseling at Georgia State in 2011 and my Bachelors in Psychology from Kennesaw State in 2006. For the past 11 years, I have been providing counseling and assessment services for a variety of clients. As a counselor, I am well-versed in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I am a LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam-friendly therapist.
I am most widely known for the safe healing spaces that I create for women of Color. Through my practice, I have facilitated an Annual Sister Circle Retreat, and ongoing weekly Sister Circle therapeutic support groups for over a decade. In doing so, I have worked to empower a multitude of women in creating the lives that they want.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, or family conflict start pulling you away from who you want to be. I work with adolescent boys, teens, and adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional struggles and unhealthy patterns. Together, we focus on building confidence, emotional balance, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of purpose so you can feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control of your life and relationships.
Have you been feeling overwhelmed by your ever-growing to-do list? Between work, dishes, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, you're feeling overwhelmed and shut down, and that's not including kids or school demands. Time management is a constant battle; you procrastinate, lose track of time, and miss important deadlines. It feels impossible to stay on top of everything. Your brain feels scattered and you feel like you’re underachieving, despite your potential and the effort you're putting in.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Atlanta, GA
Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Atlanta starts with looking for identity-affirming care. For many people, fit means more than general experience with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender dysphoria, or identity-related stress. Look for therapists who list LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or gender identity therapy in their profile. These details can help you find someone whose training and approach match the kind of support you want.
Atlanta has many therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Decatur, Old Fourth Ward, and Buckhead, but the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQ therapists, lgbt counselors near me, or gay friendly therapy when the right in-person fit is farther from home or has limited availability. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes communication style. Profiles that explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ communities, therapists specializing in gender identity, or counseling LGBTQ clients can give you clearer fit signals before you book.
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 therapists who match your needs, see insurance options available through Headway, and review clear cost estimates before your first session. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
