Dr. Dennis Dorf

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Atlanta, GA


Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at my HEALTH and WELLNESS office!

As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.

I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric clinical internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center. Additionally, I graduated with a Master of Public Health with an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Health Communications from renowned Stony Brook University’s School of Medicine & their Journalism School’s Center for Communicating Science. I graduated medical school with clinical accolades at New York’s oldest osteopathic college, NYIT.

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.
