I am an LCSW with a mission to untangle trauma and transform lives.

I've observed that many are unaware their struggles stem from unresolved childhood trauma. I focus on addressing core beliefs formed during these transformative years.

As I too struggled with unhealthy patterns of my past. Hitting rock bottom was my turning point. I immersed myself in retreats and inner child work, finding strength in spirituality. Healing myself and paying it forward to help others heal too.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Atlanta

Finding the right family therapist in Atlanta starts with identifying what your family needs support with. Family therapy can help with communication breakdowns, parent-child conflict, blended family transitions, divorce-related stress, and behavioral concerns in children or teens. A licensed provider — such as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) — can tailor sessions to your family's specific situation.

Atlanta has a large network of family therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, and Sandy Springs, with many offering both in-person and virtual sessions. When comparing providers, look for someone whose experience matches your family's concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide whether they're a good match before committing to a session.

Family therapy in Atlanta can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a family therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
