I don’t have any recommendations for one good therapist in midtown Atlanta, but I do have a couple of websites that could help you locate preferred therapists in your location. Try to use Psychology Today or BetterHelp.

Ehh I’m fortunate to have found a good therapist elsewhere

If you can tell me what kind of therapist you are seeking, I can best direct you. If you’d prefer, you are welcome to DM me. You’ve triggered the realization that I’ve probably done more research on therapists in Atlanta than the average psych grad w/ a masters looking to match up & work! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ My reasons can best be simplified as: My family is not just crazy; it is Southern Crazy! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ As a Native Atlanta, with a large family rife with personality disorders, my primary research has been amongst therapists for addiction (sibling), bi-polar disorder (sibling & sorority sisters), and, more recently, for trauma (husband & I survived a high speed sideswipe on the interstate & he’s still not OK from it). You would be astonished (or not!) at the number of therapists in ATL purporting to specialize in all of these categories. I have 1 simple requirement for medical professionals who I or a loved one sees: The medical professional must KNOW MORE THAN I DO ON THE SUBJECT. Sadly, most, do not (think of the people in school you know who majored in psychology — for themselves! Yup).

If you wanna do this the hard way, here’s the way most will recommend that you start (aside from a recommendation from your GP): Go to the website that lists psychologists on Psychology Today’s online site.

My additional steps: after the Psychology Today reference, check each therapist’s medline review AND Google review. In fact, you’d likely be better off doing a Google search of therapists in your area. You’ll want to add a more specific field to that query or you’ll drown! Then, when you have a selection of therapists in the field you want, in the geographic area you want, review each’s bios CAREFULLY as well as any publications by that person (if any!), AND, particularly, the mission/type of that person’s practice (really! Some are geared to weight loss, some addiction, some faith healing; you’ll need to drill up and down!), whether the therapist is a solo practitioner or is in a rent-an-office under our umbrella office situation, or belongs to a practice under a corporate umbrella or practices from his or her home. (Do not always accept a home office as cool WFH. Some of these people are nutty! Google their homes and checjk out the views & square footage. Some people are operating from their living rooms — or their backyard “caves of peace@ (I SO wish I was kidding! OK, only kind of, as it cracked me up! One MSW, kept trying to get me to read his crap book and.join his wife’s Himalayan Cave retreats. As we are in Atlanta, and the closest cave they could POSSIBLY have had would be by Stone Mountain or Arabia Mountain (but wasn’t), I just HAD to ask how she was managing the cave retreats! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

For more specific lines of inquiry, I’m happy to direct you through the maze. You have to approach your search like a difficult legal search, following threads upon threads. If you’re seeking help for bi-polar disorder, you need a psychiatrist AND and a therapist,; ditto many disorders or conditions.

By the way, I don’t pretend I’m “normal,” by any means. As Harriet Goldher Lerner, Ph.d., writes “normal” is “dysfunctional.” Think about it. It made me laugh so hard! For my part, I was seeing a wonderful neuropsychologist for Executive Burnout after life in BigLaw, and endunf up just visiting him regularly b/c we became such good friends. He was a wonderful, brilliant, safe person — a safe space of intelligent, understanding friendship — where I could decompress from BigLaw and regain my balance & sense of self. He passed from his disability.

… I know some therapists who deal exclusively with alternative sexuality and gender identity (met some great folks when I was an urban pioneer).

If you’ve never previously sought therapy or only previously had good experiences, you may have no idea of the despair (and even shame) that can set in when someone cannot find a therapist who is qualified and a match. Thanks to trying to help my sister, my parents, and 2 friends (law depression topped by post-partum depression), I feel like I’ve pounded the beat pretty heard around the city.

… Hope this helps! Found a therapist who specializes in Executive Burnout (she’s in Tucker). Whether she can handle a BigLaw attorney is another matter altogether! Also, found several therapists who specialize in MAN subjects. Had looked at some for husband.

Best of luck to you & happy to help, if I have not freaked you with my research already! It is IMPORTANT — who you speak with. Sometimes you just need a mentor or a friend. I’m in my 25th year and I’ve learned there’s a readon we are called “Counselor.”

I tried the app called Bloom, $200 per year and save you money, time and more effective than talking to any therapists.

Nina Wolverton. She’s in north Druid hills right now but is moving to midtown in January. She’s good with PTSD, borderline, and bipolar.

Do you know what aspects of PTSD? Sounds silly but ypu’d be astonished at how narrow some therapists get. Most are only comfortable if the trauma is illusory — really. Just ask Northside. They only take people who have been traumatized by tv or thinking of being harmed in some way — not people who have REALLY been harmed. Good grief! Is that an easy gig or a mindless one?

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
