Life can change in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or the challenges that come with a major life transition, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. You don't have to figure it all out on your own, and meaningful healing is possible. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+, and major life transitions so they can regain a sense of stability, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with greater confidence. With more than 10 years of experience, I work with teenagers, adults, and seniors, creating a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

Dr. Bridgette Spann-Edwards

Therapist

Virtual • Atlanta, GA


For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.
