Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.
I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.
Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.
Hey I'm Jamie! I graduated in 2010 from the University of Georgia School of Social Work, and worked in hospice care, a nursing home, and with children and families in community mental health before private practice. I want to help anyone who is struggling, even if they are not an "ideal client". I believe every human has strengths and is a multifaceted being. I have a special place in my heart for neurodivergent individuals as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. <3
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I have two years of experience working with clients, primarily college students. I support individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I believe that while life can feel overwhelming at times, with understanding and support, life’s challenges are manageable.
Hi, I'm Lakyah! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep belief that healing happens through connection—both with ourselves and with others. I graduated from the Mercer School of Medicine with my Master of Family Therapy. I work with adolescents, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, attachment injuries, and stress. I work with clients from all backgrounds and have a strong interest in supporting diverse and minority populations.
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.
I am a Family Psychotherapist and Atlanta native who uses a holistic approach to therapy who works with women, children, adolescents, and families, with a focus on supporting BIPOC communities, marginalized groups, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Alexis also has experience working with aggressive adolescents, gender-related concerns, and children navigating grief.
With a professional background in Montessori education and nonprofit management, I bring a creative and multifaceted perspective to her work. I am also a strong advocate for radical self-acceptance and enjoy encouraging others to discover their own sense of freedom and personal growth.
Thank you for checking out my profile! I began counseling in 2011. My career started in community mental health, with clients who had been hospitalized, on probation or parole, or working with DFCS. Through this role, I was able to work with a variety of issues. I obtained my BS from Kennesaw State University and MS in Community Counseling from North Georgia University. I have worked with a variety of concerns such as lgbtq, mood, family & relationship issues, trauma, & many others.
I am a seasoned therapist. I have lived in many parts of the US as well as overseas. I work best with clients who demonstrate insight into their issues and want to change. I see myself as the copilot on your path to transformation.
I work with individuals, couples, and families facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and family conflict. I’m especially passionate about helping you better understand yourself and your patterns in relationships so you can create meaningful, lasting change in your everyday life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Atlanta
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.
