H! I'm Anna Mae. I value real conversations, not clinical or intimidating ones. I use warmth, humor, and genuine connection to help clients feel safe opening up. At the same time, I’m comfortable working with deeper emotional pain, trauma, and life transitions. Therapy with me is supportive, honest, and centered on what you truly need.
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.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Using a client-centered and solution-focused approach, I help individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Together, we'll build practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I am a Licensed Profession Counselor (LPC) in the state of GA. I have been in the health care industry for over 20 years, and I am exceptionally eclectic in my therapeutic approach as modalities effectiveness differs from client to client. Areas of experience and interest include anxiety, sleep/insomnia issues, grief/loss, trauma, women’s issues, couples therapy, work/life balance, anger management, coping skills, self-esteem, behavioral issues, and depression.
Hey, I’m Erin. I’m a therapist who believes you don’t have to hit rock bottom to deserve support and you definitely don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
With over a decade of experience, I help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for change get clearer, feel more grounded, and move forward with intention. My approach is direct but compassionate; I’ll hold space for you, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it matters.
Therapy with me is a mix of real conversation, practical tools, and meaningful reflection. You can expect honesty, warmth, and a space where you can be fully yourself....no filters needed.
I earned my Masters of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Watkinsville
Finding the right therapist in Watkinsville starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Watkinsville is part of the broader Athens-Clarke and Oconee County community, so you may also have access to providers in nearby Athens who offer virtual sessions.
When evaluating a therapist, credentials matter. Look for licensed professionals such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, or psychiatrists who are trained in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide whether they're a good match. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation so you can connect before booking your first session.
Therapy in the Watkinsville and Athens area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book — and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
