Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lagrange, GA

Jami Rieffel, LMFT

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

I bring a warm, approachable, and genuinely caring presence to my work in psychiatry. I am goal-oriented and thoughtful in my clinical approach, working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve meaningful and sustainable progress in their mental health.

I am known for my kind and pleasant demeanor, creates a comfortable, respectful, and supportive environment where patients feel safe, heard, and valued. Compassionate yet purposeful approach fosters trust, engagement, and positive outcomes in care.

"You aren’t defined by your past—you are the author of what comes next."

Life can often feel like a story we no longer want to be in. Whether you are navigating the complexities of anxiety, trauma, or the unique pressures of adolescence, I am here to help you rewrite the narrative. My approach is rooted in Systems Theory and Solution-Focused Therapy, meaning we look at the big picture of your life while building practical tools for immediate growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a space that is warm, welcoming, and entirely yours. Together, we will turn "feeling stuck" into a journey of empowerment. I’m a proud graduate of the University of West GA and National University, and I’m ready to help you start your next chapter

Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at DMD Health and Wellness!

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, Board Certified Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed a pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center.

I graduated with my medical degree (Doctorate) with clinical accolades from New York’s oldest osteopathic medical school, NYIT.

My educational background is in both Clinical and Community Psychology. I conceptualize and intervene with clients with an understanding of individual and environmental contributing factors. Additionally, I have significant experiences working with people across the life span and in various settings. I bring this rich experience to my work with clients.

Hi, I’m Bianca Mitchell, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience and specialized training in diagnosing and treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions in adolescents and adults.

I provide thoughtful, evidence-based medication management with a collaborative approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. Whether you're navigating stress, life transitions, focus challenges, or long-standing mental health concerns, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can work together toward stability and growth.

I have extensive experience in telepsychiatry and high-volume clinical settings, which has strengthened my ability to quickly identify patterns, tailor treatment plans, and provide efficient, compassionate care. I also incorporate elements of supportive therapy and cognitive-behavioral strategies during visits when appropriate.

My approach is direct, structured, and patient-centered. I value clarity, accountability, and open communication. If you're ready to take the next step toward feeling better and functioning at your best, I look forward to working with you.

I have many specialties, including trauma-informed therapy."

Life can feel incredibly heavy when anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, or major life changes begin affecting your ability to move forward. You may feel overwhelmed by emotions, exhausted from carrying burdens on your own, or unsure where to turn next. Sometimes the hardest part is feeling like no one truly understands what you've been through. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic disorders, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, stress, bipolar disorder, and anger management concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, discouraged, or disconnected from the peace and fulfillment they want for themselves. My goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving toward healing with greater confidence and hope.
