I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult seasons. I’ve worked in community mental health, court systems, and outpatient programs — serving youth, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions.
If you’re someone who has had to be “the strong one,” the responsible one, or the one who figures it out for everyone else — I see you.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally exhausted. They show up for work, for family, for everyone — but struggle privately with overwhelm, burnout, shame, or frustration.
My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to shrink. You don’t have to explain cultural context. You can show up fully — and we work from there.
I have been counselling since 2007 and I specialized in working with people with depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, mood disorder, relationship.
Do you joke to cope? I may be a good fit for you! My name is Lisa, and I am a licensed clinical social worker who aims to create a safe and authentic space for healing. As a queer person and therapist, I aim to create an affirming space for all my clients. I got my Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia. In our sessions, I will provide you with practical skills you can use as needed while also working to explore and heal the root of the problem.
Hi, I'm Derrick, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and founder of Guardian Path Counseling Services. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health and education, I work with adolescents, teens, and adults facing anxiety, stress, behavioral concerns, emotional challenges, and life's many transitions. I've worked in both school and clinical settings and believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not something overly clinical or intimidating.
I focus on building a genuine connection and using plain talk so you can feel comfortable being yourself. From there, we'll work together to better understand what's going on, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Counseling with a sense of humor! Licensed therapist since 2007.
I'm Amy Wood, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker providing individual talk therapy and EMDR to adults via telehealth in Georgia and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Vermont and have spent over a decade in the mental health field, working across primary care, community mental health, crisis intervention, and private practice settings. My areas of focus include trauma-focused care, perinatal mood disorders, parenting challenges, and anxiety and depression. Along the way I've also supervised graduate-level social work interns, which keeps me grounded in best practices and continued learning in the field.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Georgia
Searching for therapists in Georgia starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs. Across the state, therapy options vary between larger cities, suburbs, and rural areas, so it helps to look closely at each therapist’s specialties and approach. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, review whether a therapist lists experience with those concerns. You can also look for approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or other parts of Georgia. Some people prefer in-person appointments close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions to fit care into their schedule. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what a first session may include, and whether their background matches what you want from therapy.
The cost of mental health care in Georgia varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Georgia therapists who are accepting new clients, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your exact coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
