If your child is struggling with big feelings, hard behaviors, or school-related stress, you have found a safe place. I have worked alongside kids, teens, and their families since

2005, creating a playful, welcoming space where they can finally feel understood. I draw from play therapy, AutPlay, and creative approaches tailored to your child's

personality and developmental stage. I also partner with caregivers, teachers, and other supports so your child is not doing this work alone. My goal is to help them

understand themselves better, build confidence, and feel more in control of their emotions and choices.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Warner Robins, GA


My name is Tonia Spaulding, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I believe that meaningful change is possible when clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. My approach to counseling is collaborative and compassionate—I work alongside you, not as an authority over you.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. This means I help clients build practical skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and move toward their goals while also focusing on strengths and solutions rather than problems alone. I value progress at your pace and tailor therapy to fit your unique needs and life experiences.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be open, honest, and yourself. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or looking to develop healthier coping strategies, my goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and confident in your ability to create positive change.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
