When Atlanta Therapy + Wellness may not be the best fit for you
While we aim to serve as many different people as possible, we recognize that we can't reach everyone with our trauma therapy services. Here are some signs that another Atlanta practice may be able to serve you better.
You need free therapy.
We value accessibility in mental health care, and we know that people of all socioeconomic backgrounds can develop PTSD. Currently, we're able to provide those in Georgia with affordable in- and out-of-network services. However, we're unable to offer free services at this time. If you need no-cost therapy for PTSD treatment, we recommend contacting Fulton County or another organization.
You're experiencing a mental health crisis.
If you're experiencing severe trauma symptoms or feel you're in danger of harming yourself or others, we urge you to contact 988 or visit your local emergency room. We provide outpatient therapy, and we're not able to offer crisis support at this time. However, our trauma therapists may be able to assist you after you've received immediate support.
You're located in a different state.
Our Atlanta trauma therapists are licensed in the state of Georgia, and our PTSD treatment services are for Georgia residents only. However, if you prefer not to attend in-person appointments, our virtual therapy services allow us to support you no matter where in the state you're located.

FAQs about PTSD counseling in Atlanta, GA
-
A trauma therapist is specially trained to help people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Each therapist takes a slightly different approach, but trauma therapy often consists of processing the traumatic event, learning coping skills to manage the emotional distress that can result from traumatic events, and helping you find meaning and purpose in your life beyond trauma.
Some types of trauma therapy involve talking about traumatic memories, while other forms of therapy may focus more on developing skills to cope with the effects. You and your therapist will work together to develop a treatment plan that's right for you. Regardless of the type of approach they take, our therapists are here to provide a nonjudgmental space for you to heal.
-
There are many effective forms of therapy for trauma survivors. Our clinicians use a variety of different techniques, including DBT and CPT. Other therapists might use approaches like prolonged exposure therapy (PE) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
We recommend doing a bit of research into the different approaches. You don't need to be an expert in each one, but it can help to know which methods might resonate most with you. Beyond the specific approach, it's also important to find a therapist you connect with and feel comfortable talking to.
-
The length of time in counseling can vary significantly depending on your unique circumstances. For instance, healing from complex trauma may take longer than recovering from a single-event trauma.
Different types of therapy can also take longer than others. Some approaches are more structured and consist of a set number of sessions. Other methods are more free-flowing and can shift depending on your needs and goals. Again, you and your therapist will work together to make a plan that's tailored to you.
