LGBT therapists in Augusta, GA

I’m Felicia Jenkins, and I’m passionate about helping people improve their lives through therapy. My goal is to provide a nurturing, supportive space where clients can overcome obstacles, build emotional balance, and work toward greater happiness.

I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a Counseling specialty from The Georgia School of Professional Psychology and have more than 25 years of experience providing therapy. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, relationship and marital concerns, stress, and trauma-related issues.

Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I support clients in understanding their experiences, developing effective coping strategies, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

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 specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.

Have you been feeling stuck? Struggling to get out of bed each morning? If depression, anxiety, trauma, or challenges from ADHD/neurodiversity are making it difficult for you to get through the day, therapy can be a great tool to help you find a solution to navigating these experiences. I have over five years of experience working in various mental health settings where I have developed specific skills and strategies to help you live a more meaningful and satisfying life.
