Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
In our image-obsessed society, body image concerns are unfortunately incredibly common. As a result of long-entrenched patterns of thought and behaviors, we can feel defined and constrained by our outside appearance. In the safe space of therapy, we can start to question and dismantle some of our habitual ways of thinking about our bodies, and learn to relate to ourselves with love and compassion.

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
