Therapists in Sandy Springs, GA
Many of us experience mental health concerns at some point in our lives, while others may have to navigate challenges or deal with family conflict. Therapy can be helpful in building a toolbox of strategies, coping skills, and self-care techniques that can both empower the individual and facilitate the healing process. When it comes to finding a therapist, Sandy Springs, GA can offer a wider array of choice than surrounding rural or suburban areas, but it isn’t always easy finding the right practitioner, even in a more populated area.
One reason is that in the mental health field there are many evidence-based approaches that can be more or less effective, depending on the challenge being treated. What you need may not necessarily be available nearby. For example, you may live near a neighborhood clinic that specializes in family dynamics in a supportive family environment…but you are actually looking for solution based therapy to work on professional goal setting. Or you are experiencing the symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, but the only therapist you can find that specializes in this condition isn’t taking new patients.
This is where online therapy can help. With an online therapy platform like BetterHelp you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that have experience across a variety of specialties, and with experience serving diverse populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, BetterHelp will match you to a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because a strong client/counselor relationship can be key to success, if you need to change therapists at any time you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for people without the time or bandwidth to attend in-person appointments. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and for those looking for the ultimate supportive environment, video chat, phone, and text messaging options allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, whether to process unresolved trauma with family members, find diagnostic testing for postpartum depression, or are interested in investigating a whole person approach to health and wellness, there is no better time to reach out. Contact BetterHelp for a simple way to get started on your mental health journey.

Hi, my name is Oliver Harper and I possess a wide range of clinical experiences working within residential settings for adolescents; short term acute care facilities as a clinician and consultant with adults and adolescents; worked in various communities of Metro Atlanta providing in-home therapy and maintained a private practice for 15 years. I graduated with an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University; along with attending Seminary in Atlanta and obtained graduate degrees in Leadership and Apologetics. I also attended business school and worked on Wall Street and have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I have specialized and certificate training in REBT, Adlerian Psychology, DBT, and Parenting. I primarily use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as my primary treatment modality as it is very effective in reducing stress and anxiety while providing pragmatic tools for effective living. Over my professional, life I have had significant exposure to working with traumatized clients and have learnt interventions to address its impact. I have authored two books. I also incorporate Stoic philosophy as a therapeutic intervention in the service of clients. My therapeutic skill set provides a compassionate inquiry into the lives of individuals challenged with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, perfection tendencies, and an overwhelming need for approval and validation. My clinical training will facilitate clients to connect the dots between then and now and integrate the fragmentation at the root of their maladaptive patterns. I am a lifelong learner and have dedicated my life to being of service;I believe in the innate capacity of individuals and their potential to be their own rescue with guidance and to know that there is something distinct, unique, and specific about each of us and my clinical task is to guide each individual to share that belief. The therapeutic relationship is a sacred trust and it is a privilege to be a witness to the inner world of others and to support them in their discovery, recovery, and integration of their best self. Allow me to journey with you and I promise to be present with you all the way to a better version of yourself by strengthening your identity capital.

"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state-of-mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be. Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together. I am specialized/certified in trauma, addictions, and adolescent disorders (Behavioral and ADHD). I use an integrated approach incorporating rational emotive behavioral therapy, reality theory, psychodynamic, and person centered. I offer members of KY, SC, FL, AZ, DC, and OH communities a Conservative choice for a new clinical perspective. With over 21 years of experience, change is merely a button away.
