Jami Rieffel, LMFT
Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy
I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.
I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.
Hi, I’m Anna. I believe mental health is one of the most universal—and most human—experiences we share. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel grounded, confident, and at peace. My passion for this work comes from seeing how transformative therapy can be when people are given the space and support to truly understand themselves.
With over five years of experience in the treatment field, including three years as a Clinical Director, I specialize in substance use, acute mental health, and life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, uncertainty, and major turning points, helping them gain insight and move toward stability and self-awareness.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business world, which taught me the value of clear communication, structure, and solution-oriented thinking. I bring those same principles into therapy—blending empathy with practicality to help you take achievable steps toward a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Augusta, GA
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.
