My names is Vashawn Mosley. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). I also have a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I have greater than 16 years working in mental health, with greater than 5 years working as a PMHNP.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Augusta
Finding addiction therapists in Augusta starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs. Addiction care can support people with substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, or changes in relationships and daily routines. As you compare Augusta therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate care when needed.
Augusta has a range of counseling options, from local offices near downtown and medical areas to virtual appointments across Georgia. Virtual care can expand your options if local availability, transportation, or scheduling makes in-person counseling harder to fit into your week. As you narrow your search, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can also show how they describe recovery support, communication style, and experience with non-judgmental care.
Therapy in Augusta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Augusta who match your preferences, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy.
