Keeping your behavioral healthcare local and personal, we are a group psychotherapy practice located in Athens, GA. We provide mental health services specializing in trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other areas for your growth.
If you have never worked with a therapist, we understand the apprehension and encourage you to reach out as we enjoy helping people become comfortable with the process. If you have had other therapists in the past, we can provide a new perspective on your growth and work with you to find the path that works for you.
We accept a variety of insurances, however not all of our therapists work with each listed. Please make sure to find the therapist you are interested in working with and verify that they accept your insurance. All of our therapists are listed here on Thriving Campus.
We have all either studied or worked at UGA which provides us with a unique understanding of the culture and the challenges that you may be experiencing. We know that our proximity to UGA, our familiarity with the culture of the University, and our local knowledge of Athens will make your experience rewarding.
We are a mixture of licensed counselors, social workers, and psychologists, along with Master's level interns that provide therapy at significantly reduced rates. We look forward to being part of your journey, whether that is for six months or six years. Your growth happens here!
