Hannah Brown

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Augusta

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Augusta starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood. Others want a provider who has specific experience with coming out, gender identity, or navigating family dynamics as an LGBTQIA+ person. Knowing what you want to focus on can help you narrow your search.

Augusta is a mid-size metro area, so the number of in-person LGBTQIA+-affirming providers may be more limited than in larger cities like Atlanta. Virtual therapy expands your options significantly — you can connect with any licensed provider in Georgia from your home in Augusta, Evans, Grovetown, or the surrounding area. When reviewing a provider's profile, look for details about their experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, their therapeutic approach, and whether their style feels like a good match.

Therapy in Augusta can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. A free phone consultation can also help you confirm a provider is the right fit before your first session.
