I am a licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist with 10 years of licensure experience. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, I work with a diverse range of clients across the United States and internationally through BetterHelp and my independent virtual practice. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome individuals and partners of all identities, orientations, cultures, and relationship structures. My practice is centered on human experiences and the relationships that shape our lives. Healthy relationships can be difficult to build and maintain, whether they involve partners, spouses, parents, children, family members, or other important connections. I help clients strengthen communication, increase understanding, address sexual concerns, and identify barriers that may be preventing them from creating healthier and more fulfilling lives. I believe our past influences our present, often in ways we do not immediately recognize. Therapy is not about identifying another person’s flaws or trying to force someone else to change. It is an opportunity to understand ourselves more fully, take accountability for our choices, develop grace for our current circumstances and for others, consider how those circumstances may be affecting the people around us, and recognize that there is no single prescribed way to build a meaningful life or relationship. My approach is direct, empathetic, and grounded in fairness and accountability. I provide a supportive space while also encouraging honest reflection and meaningful action. Together, we will examine recurring patterns, clarify your needs and values, and develop a practical plan for growth. My niche areas of focus include relationship and communication concerns, sexual health and sexual functioning, intimacy, alternative and nontraditional relationships, anger management, and substance use assessments. My goal is straightforward: to help people become healthier individuals and create relationships in which they can communicate honestly, find common ground, and experience greater connection and happiness.

As a healthcare professional, I have worked in many specialties; adult, child, family, ob/gyn, neurology, urgent care, emergent care, dermatology, med/surgery and mother and baby. I have taught medical assisting as well as placed Medical Assistant students on their externship. I have worked for large hospitals such as Johns Hopkins University and Dekalb Medical Center.

I started my career working with children/teens as a community counselor. I have a passion for helping one operate in their highest capacity in order to master the basic areas of life; work, family, social lives and purpose. I practice solution focused therapy on a regular basis. This means I am direct and "to the point" as it relates to identifying and working toward solving a situation. However, I will try other modalities if the situation requires another focus. I love helping people and believe help starts with getting one's mental state healthy 1st and that will trickle over to being healthy in all areas of life. I have the unique experience of not only being a teen parent; I had my 1st child at 15 and my 2nd child at 19; therefore, even though I am licensed; I have experienced hardships and life challenges at a very early age! Therefore, I can relate and identify to most people, regardless of their background or trials and tribulations. I am here to help you maximize life fulfillment by overcoming real and self imposed obstacles.

Hello, I’m Ebony Morish, and I believe that healing begins with the courage to look beneath the surface. Sometimes, the most meaningful changes happen when we are willing to dig deeper not only to better understand ourselves but also to uncover the tools, strengths, and resources needed to move forward. My role is to walk alongside you throughout that process, providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. With experience in community mental health, school-based counseling, and individual therapy, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and every individual's journey deserves a personalized approach. My therapeutic style is grounded in a person-centered, holistic philosophy. I believe you are the expert on your own experiences, and therapy should be a collaborative process that honors your voice, values, and goals. I focus on the whole person—mind, body, and emotional well-being. Recognizing that meaningful healing involves more than simply managing symptoms. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, relaxation techniques, and social skills development. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and crisis-related challenges. Beyond my professional role, I am a proud mother and Army veteran. My military background has deepened my passion for serving others, particularly fellow veterans and individuals navigating the challenges of major life transitions. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending quality time with my children, hiking, exercising, connecting with nature, and relaxing with a good movie. I believe healing happens when we give ourselves permission to pause, reflect, and grow. You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. You simply have to be willing to take the first step. Whether you're seeking clarity, working through past experiences, or learning to navigate your present circumstances, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Let's dig deeper, discover your strengths, and create space for the healing and change you deserve.

Find a therapist near you in Augusta, Georgia

Finding a therapist near you in Augusta, Georgia starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Georgia is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Georgia, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Georgia, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Georgia

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
