Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Athens, GA

Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and other evidenced based practices, I assist those seeking a brand-new start to let go and accept their past so that they can invest in their future. While having a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology, has provided me with the education to engage in expert counseling strategies, it has been the 20 years of hands on experience that has given me the emotional tools to help those take that first step to a new beginning.

Greetings! It’s Dr. Rashida Walker, professionally known as Dr. R or Dr. Walker, here to support you on your wellness journey. I have achieved a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and remain licensed as a Professional Counselor in Washington DC, Maryland, and Georgia. As an industry veteran, having worked in behavioral health spaces for well over a decade, I want to acknowledge the courage you are exercising to begin (or continue) your mental well-being journey and I want to ensure that you are finding the right fit. I am the Founder and Lead clinician of The Quiet Uprising Wellness Center, where we specialize in empowering BIPOC individuals facing various mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, boundary and communication struggles, transitions, trauma, and maternal mental health. Additionally, I find great joy in providing affirmative care to LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals and individuals who carry co-morbid physical and mental health conditions. With a commitment to evidence-based approaches and ongoing professional development, I strive to deliver tailored and effective treatment to meet each client's unique needs.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are. I work with people navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions—especially those feeling stuck or overwhelmed by change. Healing starts with feeling heard, and that’s at the heart of my approach. With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’m here to walk beside you—with compassion, presence, and evidence-based tools for healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns-- from everyday stress and life transitions to severe or persistent mental illness.

I provide therapy in a way that is warm, empowering, and honest. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful change.

I work with clients navigating depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family stress, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I see the process as a collaboration — one where your voice, goals, and pace matter. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to heal from painful experiences, I aim to meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge patterns that are no longer serving you.
