Therapists in Athens, GA

Hello, I'm Tammy Cha, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a passion for mental health and well-being. With years of experience in the field, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find their path to emotional balance and resilience.

Looking for support in life? Someone who takes your identity and culture into consideration to provide culturally competent care? I am dedicated to providing support to you in navigating the challenges in life. I love working with adolescents, teenagers, young adults, and their families to support communication, self-esteem, and life transitions. I am experienced in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, college support, life transitions, "adulting," forming healthy relationships/boundary setting, autism, and bullying. I am familiar with working in family counseling supporting and aligning each individual.

I am a psychotherapist providing services to individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, late deafened, and cochlear implant users across several states, including Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, New York, Maine, Texas, and Maryland. My therapeutic approach is systemic, collaborative, and strength-based while mindful of cultural, ethnic, and economic concerns. I utilize an eclectic approach that combines psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help individuals leverage their support system, community resources, mindfulness, and newly acquired skills to achieve the life they envision.

I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected.

Hello! My name is Manoshi and I am Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I hold a degree from Boston University School of Social Work with a focus on Behavioral Medicine from BU school of Medicine. I have over 15 plus years of experience working with kids and adults in clinics, hospitals, schools and communities. I specialize in working children, teens and adults suffering from depression, anxiety and a variety of mood disorders. I also specialize in supporting kids and teens with issues such as bullying, school related stressors, life transitions, high conflict divorce, grief and loss.

Navigating through the many challenges that life gives us can feel overwhelming, especially when you feel alone and uncertain about how to cope. I am passionate about helping individuals find their own inner strength to cope with challenges, such as anxiety, chronic illness, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers to navigate their way through school and young adults, to guide them towards finding their own identity in society. I aim to provide a non-judgmental, trustful, and collaborative space for discovery, empowerment, and growth.

If you are tired of digging around to find “what’s wrong with you” or endless therapy appointments that don't actually solve the problem, DBT will teach you how to meet your needs in relationships and stand up for yourself, how to choose your emotions and control them., and how to get through unimaginable moments intact. You'll learn how to build connections and live for today. In short? DBT will solve the problems you have without creating more. And remember, if you aren’t getting something out of psychotherapy, it’s time to move on. Having successfully helped surgeons to homemakers, get successful outcomes today with us.

I specialize in helping men transform their relationships, careers and friendships. Many of my clients work with technology or see the Internet as a major part of their lives. In my private practice

Neurofeedback is a treatment for ADHD, bed wetting, anxiety, Depression, and PTSD. Alpha Theta is a treatment for fears, Phobias and Addiction.

Feeling like life has gotten beyond your abilities to handle? Perhaps you're stressed out from work, or the loss of a loved one. Perhaps there are struggles in your marriage, or you're wondering what's going on with your kids. Perhaps you are engaged and simply wanting to set yourself and your partner up for a successful marriage. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with a mental health concern and now you are concerned with how to help them. Or perhaps you or a loved one is struggling with self-harm or thoughts of suicide. Life may be difficult, but it can still be one worth living.

I specialize in assisting neurodivergent youths and adults as they navigate their unique experiences and learn to integrate into society. While I work with children, I believe in the power of working specifically with parents as individuals as they work on the many layers of their identity and their own unique challenges that often go overlooked. Those grappling with self-judgement and doubt, people pleasing tendencies, emotional regulation challenges, and interpersonal difficulties often find a safe space. I extend a warm welcome to them while equipping them with techniques and coping skills to promote self-efficacy and confidence.

I am friendly, compassionate, and down to earth; dedicated to ensuring that each client receives the best care possible. Since I believe that each person is unique, I utilize various types of treatment modalities to promote healing and growth including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MIT), and play therapy. I have experience working with a number of mental health and emotional concerns, including anxiety, depression, loss and grief, family dysfunction, anger management, substance abuse, pre-marital/marriage counseling, parenting education and men’s issues.

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

It is a big challenge to be vulnerable and disclose your innermost fears, thoughts, feelings and struggles to someone. By beginning to look for a therapist, you have taken the first step in overcoming this challenge. I commend you for taking this first step! I strive to create a safe space in which you are able to share and explore your thoughts and feelings without any judgment. I believe that the therapeutic rapport between a therapist and client is critical. Therefore, I value the bond and trust we create together in therapy. I hope to help you work through your life’s struggles and dilemmas in a safe and supportive environment.

Counseling is a healthy commitment and shows bravery. It is crucial to find the right fit for yourself, one who can best relate to your issues. Working for Peachford, Ridgeview, and Emory Hospitals, has allowed me to focus on trauma, persons on the spectrum, persistent anxiety, ADHD, grief, and resistent depression. My goal is to serve as an advocate for those desiring healing, proper medical care and learning to use their voice. Specializing in teens, college students, and adults who suffer from intrusive thoughts, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, divorce, parental alienation, and narcissist abuse.

I hope to serve young adults, children, teens, and their families in making better choices, exploring needs, developing strengths, healing trauma, and finding clarity towards change and growth. I would like to help you by fostering and facilitating change, creativity, and searching for solutions.

I have over 25 years working in the field of psychology. I believe that the key to most emotional and psychological problems lies in relationships, those in the past and in the present. I believe conscious and unconscious behavior patterns can cause difficulties in life, and these behavior problems can be changed or modified. My approach is eclectic , and I use various modalities within a psychodynamic framework. I am also trained as a trauma specialist and EMDR therapist. I believe trauma can keep people stuck in behaviors and emotional dysfunction and EMDR is a highly effective way of reprocessing "stuck" trauma.
