Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Lagrange, GA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns-- from everyday stress and life transitions to severe or persistent mental illness.

Are you overwhelmed, having difficulty functioning, or just feeling unlike yourself lately? As someone who was born in Nigeria and has personally navigated cultural adjustment and its stressors, I understand how complex it can feel to find your footing. Drawing on both my lived experience and professional training, I meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs. I use tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to help you create meaningful, lasting change.

I work with clients ages 13 and up, couples, and families navigating grief, loss, PTSD, men’s issues, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, and seasons where life feels heavier than usual. Some clients come in after a specific loss or painful experience. Others are trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, identity questions, family patterns, or the pressure to keep functioning when things do not feel okay inside.

My background spans addiction recovery, group facilitation, crisis work, and private practice, so I am comfortable sitting with both everyday stress and the harder things people often feel they have to hide. My style is direct, engaged, and real. I use humor when it fits, show up as a full person, and genuinely care about helping you sort through what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.

As a board-certified clinical therapist, I view mental health as essential to overall well-being. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I’m proud of you for taking it. With over 15 years of experience, I’m here to support you on your journey. Everyone’s story is unique and deserves an individualized approach to care.

I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.

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.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward? You're not alone, and finding the right support can make all the difference. I’m Dr. Alex Kohl, and I’ve spent over a decade helping people like you navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. With a PhD in clinical psychology and a specialization in neuropsychology, I combine expertise with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy. I believe that therapy is about more than just addressing symptoms—it's about understanding the whole person. Together, we will explore your unique experiences, set realistic goals, and work toward the future you.

Glad you stopped by! I am board-certified psychiatrist specializing in the care of adults, children, and adolescents, with over 17 years of clinical experience. An excellent listener, I provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions.
