Aliyyah Nailing-Yamini

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to keep doing everything on your own.

Maybe you’re used to being the strong one—the person who keeps going, takes care of everyone else, and pushes through even when you’re exhausted. But underneath it all, you may be anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, or simply tired of feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode.

Maybe your mind won’t slow down. You overthink everything, struggle to sleep, feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand, or find yourself reacting more strongly than you want to. Maybe relationships have become difficult, you’re struggling to reconnect with the people you love, or you’re wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”

You don’t have to come to therapy with all the answers. We can work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, untangle the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. My goal isn’t simply to help you manage symptoms—it’s to help you understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more like yours.

I also believe that healing can involve the deeper questions of life. If spirituality, faith, personal beliefs, purpose, or meaning are important to you, I welcome bringing those parts of yourself into therapy. Sometimes healing isn’t just about feeling less anxious or depressed—it’s about reconnecting with who you are, what matters to you, and the life you want to create.

You’ve spent enough time surviving. You deserve the opportunity to heal, reconnect, and truly live. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to help you along the way.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Augusta

Searching for postpartum therapists in Augusta starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also list perinatal mental health training or a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal added experience with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood-related care. Reading each therapist’s bio can help you see whether their specialties, approach, and experience fit what you want to discuss.

In a mid-size city like Augusta, your search may include therapists with local offices, therapists who offer virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can be especially practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Beyond postpartum experience, it can help to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Therapist profiles can also show how someone describes their communication style, which may help you decide who feels like a strong fit before you book.

Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
