I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.
A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.
Greetings!
As a therapist, I believe it is important to walk in your purpose and I believe I do that every day. My name is Laijun English, and I am a counselor that provides treatment for teens and adults dealing with life’s challenges. I have Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia Southwestern State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University.
Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I serve the adult and geriatric population. I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia Graduate School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with my Masters in Social Work in 2011. Since then, I've primarily focused on working with individuals struggling with anxiety and traumas. My trainings include Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy. I also have my 200 hour Certification in Yoga, which I believe adds another level of body awareness and somatic work.
I believe genuine healing springs from feeling fully understood and accepted. In our work together, you'll find a therapist who listens deeply, asks curious questions, and partners with you to uncover pathways toward growth and relief. We co-design your journey based on your goals, values, and strengths.
I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. I believe each person's story is rich with meaning and resilience, and therapy should honor your lived experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, overwhelm, loss, or major life transitions, I meet you where you are with curiosity, respect, and care.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services, and I currently provide telehealth services in a private, secure setting. I am passionate about what I do, and I believe in meeting people exactly where they are in their journey. My primary goal is to empower you to create and live the life you truly deserve.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Atlanta
Finding postpartum therapists in Atlanta starts with looking for care that matches the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum therapy, or maternal mental health. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal care.
Atlanta has a wide range of therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and West End, which can make the search feel broad at first. For new parents, practical fit matters as much as specialty fit. Consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist offers virtual sessions that fit around infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns 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 lets you search for therapists who match your needs, see whether they accept your insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
