Light Therapy (Phototherapy) Therapists in Athens, GA

Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. I’ve been working as a psychologist for over 18 years and I have consistently found the strongest predictor of success to be the strength of our relationship. I’m so glad you are considering reaching out for help and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Are you worried about the way you are feeling? Maybe you are overwhelmed, can't sleep, are plagued by intrusive thoughts, or just feel sad and stuck. I provide therapy designed for healing and growth. Using research based strategies tailored to how you learn, we will build on your strengths to help you reach the life you want, on a timeline that feels right for you. You are not in this alone, and together we will create a plan to help you feel well, honor your emotions, and feel confident in yourself and your choices.

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.
