Anna Fortune

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and Alabama and have been working as a therapist for 16 years. Currently, I am only seeing female clients in order to align with my clinical focus. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in faith-integrated counseling for women who wish to bring their spirituality into sessions. I offer therapy that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices, helping clients align their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While this is my area of specialty, I work with individuals from all walks of life and honor each client’s unique beliefs and values.

My experience is broad in that I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of issues and diagnoses, especially with those facing trauma, recovering from addictions, coping with anxiety and depression, and moving through life changes such as grief and relationship/family changes. I hope to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you in your journey.

Hi, I’m Christina, and I believe therapy works best when it feels real, human, and—sometimes—a little humorous. I use a trauma-informed and narrative approach to help clients make sense of their stories and find new ways to move forward. My style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative; I view therapy as a space where you can safely explore the aspects of your past that still resonate today, while also discovering your resilience and inner strength.

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 Savannah, GA

> Finding addiction therapists in Savannah starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, and the impact these concerns may have on relationships or daily life. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team. > > In a smaller city like Savannah, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your search across Georgia. Recovery can change over time, and it may help to look for a therapist who describes their approach as respectful, practical, and non-judgmental. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist talks about addiction care, communication style, and what sessions may look like. > > Addiction therapy in Savannah can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, browse therapist bios, 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
