Find a therapist in Albany, GA — covered by insurance

Hello ! I’m Sarah and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. My education includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UGA, and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Georgia State University. I have a diverse background with experience in all levels of care. I have a strong passion for helping others work past obstacles and improve their lives.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive and collaborative space for individuals seeking help with emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s needs.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and adjustment challenges. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and helping clients feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives.

I hold a Master of Social Work and have experience in clinical and medical settings. I also supervise clinicians within a group practice, ensuring clients receive thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.

I believe that therapy should feel supportive, practical and real. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or major life transitions and just want to feel like themselves again. This is a space where you can talk openly without judgment while also gaining tools that actually help in everyday life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear about your next steps.

I am an experienced mental health professional specializing in counseling and social-emotional support for adolescents and families. I have worked in a telehealth setting for the past 6 years. My work focuses on anxiety, behavioral challenges, and life transitions using evidence-based, client-centered approaches. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can build skills, gain insight, and grow.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a diverse background from working with military, children and family’s, substance abuse, mental health and other populations. I graduated with my masters degree in 2016 from the University of Southern Mississippi located in Longbeach Mississippi after my military service. I like for anyone that I and providing services a service to feel safe and open.

I'm a licensed counselor and scholar-practitioner with more than 29 years of experience providing behavioral health care across a wide range of settings. In 2009 I founded BSmith Consulting Group, LLC, where I work with individuals navigating adjustment issues, mental health disorders, and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) concerns. Alongside my clinical work, I provide employee assistance support to individuals, professionals, and organizations, and I contribute to the field through clinical supervision, training of fellow mental health professionals, and presenting at local, state, and national platforms. My goal is always to meet you where you are and support your long-term wellness.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggling with substance use? You may feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals across Georgia who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and substance use challenges. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can better understand what you're experiencing, build coping skills, and begin moving toward a more stable, balanced, and fulfilling life.
