psychological flexibility for modern living

Life is uncertain. Anxiety, loss, health concerns, transitions, and self-doubt are part of modern living. While it seems counter-intuitive, trying to eliminate discomfort often intensifies it.

At Atlanta CBT, our experienced licensed clinical psychologists provide specialized, evidence-based therapy in Atlanta, GA (Inman Park on the Beltline), Richmond, VA (in the Fan neighborhood), and via secure PSYPACT telehealth in participating states.

Psychologist-Owned | Evidence-Based | Low-Volume, High-Quality Care

We are broadly trained clinical psychologists — and we each maintain areas of advanced specialization. This allows us to treat the whole person while delivering expert care for specific concerns.

Our work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — among the most researched and effective treatments for anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress.

CBT is sometimes described as rigid. That is not how we practice. We integrate CBT and ACT to build psychological flexibility — the ability to respond skillfully to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful, values-based action in the face of uncertainty.

The goal is not simply reducing symptoms. It is helping you build a life that is larger than your fear.

Our team includes former and current clinical researchers, and we remain closely aligned with advances in psychological science so your care is rigorous, modern, and effective.

Our specialities:

• Anxiety (social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic, phobias, health anxiety)

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders, including PANS/PANDAS– Atlanta CBT is recognized by the International OCD Foundation as a Specialty Outpatient Clinic for OCD treatment — reflecting advanced expertise in obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

• Insomnia

• Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Depression

• Body-focused repetitive disorders (nail biting, hair pulling, skin picking)

• Substance use and non-judgmental support around changing drinking or drug use

• “Failure to launch” parent consultation and support

• Adjustment to illness, chronic pain, and injury

• Major life transitions, career, and parenting stress

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

All clinicians are LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to culturally responsive care.

Intentionally Small. Human-Centered.

Atlanta CBT is a psychologist-owned practice built around focused, attentive care.

Much of modern mental health treatment is volume-based, insurance-dictated, and increasingly technology-centered. Clinicians are often required to move quickly, follow strict coverage rules, and manage large caseloads.

We work differently.

We intentionally maintain low caseloads so we can be prepared, thoughtful, and fully present. Clinical decisions are guided by research, professional judgment, and your goals, not quotas, corporate metrics, or insurance limitations.

This is therapy centered on you, a human being.

When you contact us, you are carefully matched with a therapist whose expertise aligns with your needs. We take the time to understand your goals and the complexity of your life.

Skilled. Personal. Collaborative.

We provide structured, evidence-based therapy and parent training within a relationship that is confidential, collaborative, and emotionally attuned.

Effective treatment requires both advanced tools and a strong therapeutic alliance. You can expect clarity and thoughtful challenge — alongside warmth, steadiness, and respect.

Our aim is simple: to help you build resilience, flexibility, and meaningful change in an uncertain world — in a way that feels deeply human and genuinely supportive.
