Great to meet you!

I’m Dana Atwell, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Georgia and bring over nine years of professional experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, career challenges, trauma, and depression. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed modalities to help clients feel empowered, understood, and equipped with practical tools for healing and growth.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, strengthen their resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I possess very good listening skills; I am adept at encouraging people to open up making them feel at ease and helping them to find solutions to the issues at hand. I will customize our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

What you can expect from me

My client's can expect a warm and welcoming collaborative relationship that will put their best interest first.
