Enrollment Into Services

Enroll in behavioral health services by calling (404) 589-9040 to complete a 10 – 15 minute phone screening. You will be assigned an intake and set-up for ongoing counseling appointments. Psychiatry services are typically provided in conjunction with counseling.

Counseling & Psychotherapy Services

We offer individual, family, and couples counseling and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy services are to help you solve problems that may be limiting your satisfaction in life, and to help you cope better with the feelings and challenges that you encounter in your daily life.

Group Therapy & Support Groups

We provide groups that bring people together who are coping with similar issues or concerns in a safe, warm, and affirming environment. Groups provide the ability to increase self-awareness, make new social connections with others, and gain a sense of community.

Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment

Our psychiatric services include assessments and on-going medication management for patients who are actively participating in psychotherapy.

Peer Support

Peers provide individual sessions and facilitate support groups. They work from the client’s strengths and can help reduce stigma and increase self-acceptance.

Telemedicine

Our behavioral health team added telemental health to help patients remain healthy, engaged in care, and protect themselves by staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemental health is the process of providing psychotherapy and psychiatry assessment via confidential video conferencing or phone sessions.
