Danielle Bohan

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. While evidence-based practices provide important tools for change, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation for growth and healing. My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Makenzie Horton

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Neuro-Relational Depth Therapist | Trauma & Addiction Specialist I don’t believe in "by-the-book" therapy. True, sustainable change doesn’t come from a pre-packaged worksheet or a generic protocol. It comes from a deep, rigorous conversation and a relationship built on genuine trust.

I bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and the hard science of the brain. My work is designed for the the individual who wants to understand the "why" behind their patterns to effectively change the "how" of their life.

By focusing on regulation over labels, we move away from shame and toward clarity. My goal is to help you understand exactly what is happening in your brain and body so you can regain your equilibrium.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Augusta, GA

Finding addiction therapists in Augusta starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs. Addiction care can support people with substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, or changes in relationships and daily routines. As you compare Augusta therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate care when needed.

Augusta has a range of counseling options, from local offices near downtown and medical areas to virtual appointments across Georgia. Virtual care can expand your options if local availability, transportation, or scheduling makes in-person counseling harder to fit into your week. As you narrow your search, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can also show how they describe recovery support, communication style, and experience with non-judgmental care.

Therapy in Augusta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Augusta who match your preferences, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
