Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can make going anywhere almost impossible. Just going to the grocery store can bring on an anxiety disorder that will send you back home to stay. There are many therapists in Chamblee who are trained in handling anxiety disorders and PTSD. 

The town of Chamblee is fond of its history and has preserved much of its buildings downtown to keep the 20th century railroad community look. Just walking around looking at the vintage community and historic architecture can give you a sense of peace and contentment. Although sometimes you suddenly feel nervous or anxious for no reason whatsoever. A therapist based in Chamblee can help diffuse these anxiety attacks and help you learn how to cope with them.

Hi, my name is Zach Johnston, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Georgia. I also hold a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I would like to take a minute to tell you about myself as well as my clinical experience and style so that you can make a well-informed decision in choosing the best therapist for you. I have been working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in private practice for 11 years. Most of my work focuses on relationship issues, co-parenting, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Prior to going into private practice, I had the opportunity to work in several settings including therapeutic foster care, Christian ministry, and education. Each of these experiences provided a rich foundation that has informed my work as a therapist. Much of my training and experience involves working within the context of family, especially families in transition. A family in transition may be one who has experienced a move, a divorce, the death of a loved one, the blending of a family, or any number of life changing events. This work can be accomplished through individual, couples, or family therapy. I also offer co-parent coaching for parents who are separated or divorced and are seeking to improve their working relationship and resolve conflict related to shared parenting. I am passionate about helping people find healing as individuals and in their relationships in order to create healthy families. My therapeutic style is open and collaborative. My goal is to partner with you, to provide encouragement, support, and tools that will help you accomplish your goals. I appreciate the practical application of cognitive behavioral therapy and the strength’s-based mindset of the solutions focused approach. My work with clients often blends the two styles along with various other therapeutic methods. An important indicator of success in therapy is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client. As a client you have the ability to choose a therapist whose experience and therapeutic style meet your needs. If my approach and style align with what you are looking for in a therapist I invite you to take the next step to begin our work together. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed therapist in Georgia with seven years of therapy experience. Therapy has been a calling for me since I was younger, and I continued to feel called the older I became. Even after seven years in practice, I still say every day that this is my dream job. I graduated from Valdosta State University in 2013 with my Bachelor's and then again in 2015 with my Master's. I began my career in the world of drug court, where I spent several years helping and learning from those who struggled with addictions. I then moved over to the community mental health field, where I still currently practice. I have worked with a wide range of populations--from those who suffer from severe and persistent mental illnesses, to teenagers, to mothers with postpartum depression, and all the way down to adolescents. I believe strongly in serving the underserved and seeing those who aren't otherwise noticed in our society. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and to have the opportunity to tell their story. Everyone's story is important, and I consider it one of the greatest honors of my life to hear so many. I use person centered approaches and have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I firmly believe that the brave person (you) seeking support should dictate how their sessions go. I consider myself a partner in your healing--I will walk with you each step and assist you in learning how to live the life you want and be who you want to be or don't want to be. You are so brave for being here today. I am honored and humbled to walk with you in your healing--whatever that may look like. My availability can be discussed during our first session.

How to find counseling in Chamblee

Finding the best therapist close by in Chamblee can feel challenging, but know that once you narrow your search for a counselor serving your area, you can find a therapist in your city that is accepting new clients and fits your goals. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, marriage, family issues, or other emotional challenges, feel proud that you have begun your search to find the mental health care services that work best for you in order to begin your personal journey towards emotional healing.

Understanding the type of therapy you'd like to search for is crucial before finding a therapist or psychologist in Chamblee. Perhaps you're interested in narrowing your search for a psychotherapist that can offer psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), talk therapy, provide group therapy, marriage and family therapy for individuals or couples, or couples therapy. Each type of therapy can offer various benefits and address or treat different disorders. If you're still unsure or are new to counseling in Chamblee, feel free to contact the provider via email to find out which methods they practice.

It is also important to understand that mental health professionals in the United States are accredited to provide care, helping individuals and couples, with a variety of licenses. These include licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and clinical psychologist or doctor of psychology (PsyD). Regardless of their licensure, they are trained to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

Mental health professionals working through their own in- person therapy practice in Chamblee or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, or change in negative thinking patterns. They may also provide a safe place and validation for clients experiencing emotional pain. Verified providers can provide licensed marriage and couples therapy, tailor to individual needs, and create a therapeutic relationship as a National Certified Counselor.

There are all kinds of therapists working with clients today across the United States and in the greater Chamblee area in different types of therapy, including:

  • CBT
  • DBT
  • Substance use therapy
  • Couples therapy

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Chamblee area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Chamblee therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Chamblee due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Chamblee may not take health insurance, some in the state of Georgia may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With BetterHelp or clinicians throughout the state of Georgia you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How is a licensed therapist on this online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Chamblee, Georgia working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from psychiatrists to prescribe a drug as treatment, or perform psychological assessments.

How does working with a counselor in BetterHelp online therapy sessions work?

BetterHelp clinicians treat clients online across the United States (individuals and couples) through life transitions, inner child exploration, long term depression or anxiety, and more. An online mental health professional, including the therapists in Chamblee above, can work with young adults, children, adolescents, and adults virtually as an accredited licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) or licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). You do not have to commute to a an office as a psychotherapy client.

Through BetterHelp therapy, you can partake in video, phone, or live chat therapy sessions with your licensed therapist. You can work through various symptoms, use the in app journaling feature, and receive worksheets. You'll also find support groups or group therapy lead by a therapist in Chamblee helping individuals on topics including managing life transitions, symptoms affecting sexual health, behavioral health, coping skills for anxiety or depression, trauma, stress, marriage counseling, and more. 

What mental health issues can psychotherapy address?

BetterHelp's verified Chamblee therapists specialize and have clinical experience in a wide range of mental health issues and modalities, helping clients to feel better and improve their lives every day. See below for examples.

Specialties on BetterHelp include:

You may also be struggling with relationship problems that could be addressed in couples therapy or with a sex therapist. In that case, you may choose to work with one of BetterHelp's experienced cognitive-behavioral therapists or licensed marriage family therapists (LMFT) who work with clients in relationships. You can also try a Chamblee therapy provider through BetterHelp's sister platform, ReGain, which is dedicated to couples and spouses worldwide. 

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

A psychologist in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Chamblee therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words.

With a lot of people in GA, providers may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 30345 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site. No matter if you are seeking help in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Chamblee counselor?

Before seeing your therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice. A Chamblee licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles.

Is mental health care and therapy worth it? 

Therapy is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health professional has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Chamblee, Georgia can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Chamblee has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
