Welcome

We understand people…

whose nervous systems run loud in the face of uncertainty.

who feel deeply and care deeply too.

who carry responsibility and want to do things well.

who keep going — or want to do more — despite it all.

We are here for the brave.

You’re our people.

There are constant choices: avoid what’s hard or move forward with difficult emotions like anxiety. We want to help you learn to embrace all of it. Take it all with you. Do what matters most to live a full and vibrant life on your terms.

At Atlanta CBT, our experienced licensed clinical psychologists and therapists provide specialized, evidence-based therapy and parent training in Atlanta, GA (Inman Park on the Beltline), Richmond, VA (in the Fan neighborhood), and via secure telehealth in Georgia, Virginia, and 42+ PSYPACT participating states.

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. Can you imagine a more useful thing to develop?

We are former and current clinical researchers, and we remain closely aligned with advances in psychological science so your care is rigorous, modern, effective, and anchored in a caring therapeutic relationship.

You are not flawed and there Are No “Bad” Emotions.

• We do not believe anxiety or sadness are problems to eliminate. 
• They are human emotions. If you didn’t have them… you’d be dead (or maybe a psychopath)
• Our goal is not to rid you of painful feelings. We won’t provide empty reassurances. We will encourage you to persist in uncertainty. 
• Our goal is to help you build the psychological flexibility to live a meaningful life on your terms — not your emotions’ terms.
• You do not have to wait for anxiety or sadness to disappear before you begin living fully and meaningfully!

Expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in Atlanta, GA, Richmond, VA & telehealth to 42+ states

We are behavior change experts who partner with clients to share the most effective, research-supported treatments available, including:

• Exposure therapy for anxiety disorders and OCD

• Cognitive restructuring to help you make more accurate appraisals of what is

• Behavioral activation for depression

• Mindful present-moment awareness and acceptance of emotions and what we cannot change

• Taking committed action where possible to make your life better

Sometimes therapy involves challenging unhelpful thinking patterns. Sometimes it involves gradually facing fears. Sometimes it involves learning to carry anxiety with you while moving toward what matters most. The aim is not emotional control. The aim is freedom. You get to decide what is important and meaningful and we work together to get there.

Intentionally Different from High-Volume Therapy Platforms

Therapy centered on you, a human being in context.

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.

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.

You can expect clarity and thoughtful challenge alongside warmth, steadiness, and respect. This is possible within a relationship that is confidential, collaborative, and emotionally attuned.

Our aim is simple: to help you build the psychological flexibility needed to live meaningfully in an uncertain world. You get to choose what that looks like.
