Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience helping clients make sustainable change for the better. With extensive training in motivational interviewing, I help clients explore and understand the impact behaviors like substance use, overeating, and others are having on their well-being, and guide them in making an individualized plan for change. Taking into account your life context and environment, we'll work together to address underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression in order to reduce unwanted behaviors and develop coping strategies that work without causing their own problems.

Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Benning — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises the largest share of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
