Welcome! My goal is to partner with families to help clients live happy, healthy lives. Whether you've experienced side effects from medication or haven't seen the progress you hoped for, I'm here to work with you toward a solution.
Finding the right medication is only part of the picture — truly understanding what's happening in your life matters just as much. That's why I incorporate brief, solution-focused therapy into every visit and make a point of staying in close communication with your other providers.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I have extensive training and experience treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and a range of other behavioral health challenges. I also enjoy working with young adults in their twenties who are navigating the unique transitions and challenges that come with that stage of life.
I have a special interest in women's health — particularly during the perinatal period and menopause — as well as the unique needs of healthcare workers.
K. Erica Hunkin, PhD, MSN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, is a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and a Master of Science in Marine Chemical Ecology from The University of Mississippi. Her passion for understanding the biological basis of behavior led her to pursue a PhD in Behavioral Neuroendocrinology at North Carolina State University. During her doctoral research, she focused on how hormones influence brain function and behavior, a natural extension of her lifelong curiosity about human behavior. She later transitioned into nursing, earning a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certificate from Johns Hopkins University. Erica has provided evidence-based, holistic care for children, adolescents, and adults in multiple settings, including community-based clinics, telehealth, and work with active-duty military personnel, reservists, and veterans.
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.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

With a background in both psychiatric and family medicine, I take a whole-person approach—considering both your mental and physical health when developing your treatment plan. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again.

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 Savannah, GA
Finding postpartum therapists in Savannah starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training or listed specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and after birth.
Savannah is a smaller market, so the number of local postpartum therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options, especially if your schedule changes often, you’re arranging infant care, or you’re recovering physically. As you review therapists in Savannah, compare appointment times, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and whether they’re accepting new patients. Reading each therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum care before you book.
Therapy in Savannah can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway connects you with therapists who are accepting new patients and lets you filter by insurance, specialty, availability, and session format, making it easier to review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
