Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Georgia

Hi I am Dr. Liza. I grew up in rural Wyoming, lived in Utah for many years, and over the last three years moved to Georgia. I have been married for 26 years to my high school sweetheart and have three beautiful children.

I am so excited to get to know you. I look forward to using our therapeutic relationship built on trust, kindness, respect, and openness to help you build on the life you are seeking. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples in many varying situations which include mental health, addictions, behavioral, and relational concerns. This is my 18th year as a clinician and every relationship I build with clients is so important. I believe in you!!

I have over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and burnout.

I have a particular passion for working with caregivers, high-achieving professionals, and women who carry the emotional weight of others. My care blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with holistic approaches to help clients achieve balance in mind, body, and spirit.

I’m passionate about helping people feel more like themselves again. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your emotions, energy, or focus are out of sync. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that brings stability and peace back into your life.

I am a National Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinician Counselor Supervisor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional based in Atlanta GA. My areas of expertise include Veterans, depression, and complex trauma. I have a passion for working with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, complex trauma, career/life transitions, PTSD, and depression. I received my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Georgia and MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University.

I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.

Are you constantly overthinking? Feeling lost after a traumatic experience? Struggling with unresolved grief—or grieving the loss of a beloved pet and feeling like no one truly understands? These kinds of challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn next. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, healing from the past, or simply seeking clarity about your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and self-discovery.

My name is Ebony Yelder (she/her/hers), and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling and psychiatric services. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings—including behavioral health hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, in-home therapy, and with the Department of Defense supporting service members and their families.
