Hello! I'm so excited that you are here. Welcome to the start of something new! My name is Samaria Witherspoon, but I’m commonly known as Sam. I am an author, professor as well as the founder of Hidden to Healing, LLC providing individual, couples and family counseling to those that are struggling with trauma, anxiety, overall life satisfaction, depression, aggression, grief, substance abuse, and behavioral and emotional issues.
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.
Hi! Thanks so much for visiting. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I treat individuals age 10 and up in an adult setting. I went to Duke University for pre-med (BS psychology) and then Emory University School of Medicine. I did my internal medicine residency at Emory also, was on staff at Emory, and was also in private practice before I went back to my psychiatry residency (State University at Stony Brook, Chief Resident, 2012).
I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I enjoy helping those who have had treatment-resistant conditions, and have a friendly, kind, and collaborative approach.
I treat anyone who is motivated to get better. I manage the entire spectrum of conditions, and manage tough-to-fix things like OCD and bipolar depression. Because of my personal background, I really get the gender-divergent and neuro-divergent folks, and folks with anxiety. :).
Please note:
-Self-pay rates are $500 for intakes and $250 for follow up appointments.
-Starting 7/29/26, I am based primarily in the SF Bay area, and so appointments might seem at odd hours for those on the east coast. If the times don't align with your needs, make the first appointment and we will make follow-ups together that fits for both of us.
-Given I am primarily providing care for those in a wonderful community center in San Jose, CA, (Camara), I will see folks in this practice part-time.
-I will be in Atlanta to see patients live if needed but know it may not be more than once every 6-8 weeks. On-line is primary.
I have two locations in the Bay Area for live visits. If an in-person session is needed, we will book that after the first on-line appointment.
-If a Florida client needs a controlled substance, one visit to the Atlanta or SF office will be necessary.
Hi, I'm Maureen (she/her), and I’m a licensed professional counselor with more than two decades of experience supporting clients with toxic parent recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. I often see folks who appear successful on the outside but are struggling inside. I advocate for people who are starting something new and scary or leaving behind something painful. Whatever it is you are looking to unload, I offer a warm and validating space to explore what you’ve been carrying.
I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and university counseling centers. I have worked with adults and college students to better understand patterns and survival instincts. When I'm not working, I'm usually exercising in some way, spending time outside, or playing music.

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Atlanta
Searching for OCD therapists in Atlanta starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just someone who lists OCD as a focus area. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people living with OCD, and therapists may need specific training to provide it. As you compare options, look for experience with concerns like intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsions, and anxiety. A therapist’s bio can help you confirm whether they mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or direct experience supporting people living with OCD.
Atlanta has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and Virginia-Highland, which can make the search more detailed rather than simple. Consider whether an in-person office fits your commute, parking needs, or transit route, or whether virtual sessions give you more flexibility. It also helps to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. For OCD care, review each profile closely to see whether the therapist has specific ERP training, since that can be different from general familiarity with OCD.
Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, then compare bios, availability, and appointment formats in one place. From there, you can browse OCD therapists in Atlanta and book directly when you’re ready.
