Why choose Atlanta Therapy + Wellness for anxiety counseling in Atlanta

We know that you have options when it comes to therapy. Here are a few reasons to consider choosing Atlanta Therapy + Wellness as your anxiety treatment center.

  • We're a diverse group of therapists. Diversity is one of the main values of our practice. We know that each person has their own unique needs and goals for therapy, and our therapy group has a wide range of clinicians so you can find the best fit for you.

  • We use a variety of different methods to best serve your needs. Each of our therapists has their own specialty areas and has received extensive training in specific therapeutic modalities, including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and more.

  • We believe that wellness is possible for everyone. Mental health shouldn't be a luxury. We firmly believe that everyone is equally deserving of wellness! We know that with the right care and support, you can find anxiety relief and improve your quality of life. Plus, we make our services as financially accessible as possible by accepting insurance.

If you're still not sure whether we're the right fit for you, we encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to learn more about how we can help.

When Atlanta Therapy + Wellness may not be the best fit for your needs

While we strive to make our team and approach as diverse as possible, we recognize that we may not be able to meet each person's needs. Here are a few reasons to consider working with a different organization.

  • You're looking for a one-size-fits-all approach. Since our clinicians have a variety of personal and professional experiences, they all take a unique approach to therapy. We see this as an asset since it allows us to serve a wider range of individuals. However, if you're looking for a more uniform group of clinicians who take the same structured approach, we're likely not the right fit for you.

  • You need free therapy services. We don't believe that your finances should dictate whether you get support for your anxiety disorder. At the same time, we're unable to offer no-cost therapy services at this time. However, many of our therapists work directly with insurance companies on both an in- and out-of-network basis so you can get fully or partially reimbursed for your services.

  • You're experiencing a mental health crisis. We offer individual therapy and family therapy on an outpatient basis. If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, we urge you to contact 988 or visit your local emergency center. Once your urgent needs are met, we can work on building skills like stress management tools to help prevent future crises.
