Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Douglasville, GA

Welcome to a place where young hearts and minds find solace, growth, and resilience. As a dedicated psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am here to help children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life's challenges, build positive thought patterns, and unleash their full potential.

I am Jesmond Fair, born and raised in rural Alabama and later became an alumnus of The University of Alabama. I completed all my graduate training at UGA and am calling Atlanta home. I am a gay Black Christian cis-gender male. For most moments of the day, I have a random song on repeat in my head. This can be attributed to my background in vocal and instrumental music. I believe in being real. So, clients can expect facial reactions, slang, occasional profanity, laughter, and even tears.

Whether you’re battling your inner critic, processing trauma, or just trying to survive in a neurotypical or cis-normative world, I’m here to support your growth, healing, and self-discovery. Therapy doesn’t have to be sterile or detached—we can bring your fandoms, creativity, and passions into the room as tools for healing.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you or your child are carrying big emotions, past experiences, or relationship stress. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as you begin this process.

I have over 20 years of experience serving others in some capacity. I am caring, understanding, and dedicated to help you make positive progress in your personal and professional live. I believe who you are makes a difference and you matter.

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.
