Online Therapy in Sandy Springs, Georgia
Find a therapist who fits. Sandy Springs adults, couples and teens are matched by a person, not an algorithm, with Georgia-licensed clinicians online.
Therapy for Sandy Springs
Finding a therapist is one thing. Finding the right one is another. If you live in Sandy Springs and you've tried therapy before without clicking with the person across from you, that experience doesn't mean therapy can't help. Fit matters, and we take it seriously.
When you fill out our intake form, a care coordinator reads your answers and pairs you with a specific Georgia-licensed therapist. If the fit isn't right after you start, we rematch you. Sandy Springs is in Fulton County, and every session is held over secure video.
Who we help
Reasons people reach out
We work with adults who want help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief or stress; partners who want to stop circling the same arguments; and parents of teens ages 13 to 17. You can also tell us your preferences, such as your therapist's gender or the times you're free, on the intake form.
You might be dealing with
- Conflict or distance in a relationship
- Painful experiences that still affect you today
- Parenting stress and tension at home
- Low mood, low energy or losing interest in things you used to enjoy
Therapy services
What therapy with us looks like
For most people, therapy starts with individual sessions: a weekly or every-other-week video appointment with one therapist who gets to know your history, your goals and the way you think. Ongoing worry, low mood, relationship strain, work stress and grief are all common reasons to begin.
Couples therapy follows a clear arc. The first two or three sessions cover your history together, what is working and what isn't, and some individual time with each partner. After that, sessions focus on practicing new ways of talking, and they taper to every other week, then monthly, as things shift.
Insurance and cost
Coverage, checked before you start
Insurance can be a maze, so we handle it. Once you submit the intake form, we verify your benefits and tell you what each session will cost. With insurance, that's as low as $0 per session, depending on your plan.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum / UnitedHealthcare and Humana. For Georgia Medicaid, we work with Amerigroup, CareSource and Peach State Health Plan. Some Medicare Advantage plans through Aetna and Humana are accepted, but traditional Medicare is not. Private pay, HSA and FSA are welcome.

Ages 13–17
Teen therapy in Sandy Springs
Ages 13–17
Therapists who specialize in adolescents
Parents stay involved
Consent, safety updates and family sessions
Around the school day
Weekdays until 7pm ET and weekends
Teen therapy for Sandy Springs families covers ages 13 through 17. Teens come to us with test anxiety, sadness that's affecting sleep or friendships, perfectionism, bullying, family changes like divorce, and questions about who they are. Each teen gets a written safety plan at intake, updated as needed.
Parent involvement is built in without taking over. You start the process, sign consent, and meet with the therapist periodically. With written consent from both you and your teen, we can coordinate with school counselors or IEP and 504 teams so therapy lines up with what's happening at school.
Scheduling around the school day is simpler online. Your teen needs a private room and a device, not a ride, and sessions can be booked on weekday afternoons and early evenings until 7pm ET or on Saturdays from 10am to 3pm ET, with Sunday sessions by arrangement.
How online therapy works
Therapy from home in Sandy Springs
Online therapy removes the parts of therapy that are hardest to fit into a busy week: the drive, the parking, the hour lost in the middle of a workday. You open the session on your device, your therapist is on the other side, and when it ends you're already home.
You get access to our client portal for paperwork and scheduling, plus the free My MentalSpace app for iPhone and Android. Our hours include weekday evenings until 7pm ET and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm ET, with Sunday sessions by arrangement. You do need to be physically in Georgia for each session, which is a licensing requirement.

Coaching
Life and relationship coaching
Not everything calls for therapy. Life coaching is forward-looking and goal-driven: a career change, a leadership role, a transition you want to handle on purpose. Relationship coaching helps partners, daters and individuals build practical skills like communication and decision-making. Neither requires a diagnosis.
Most of our coaches hold ICF credentials. Coaching isn't a medical service, so insurance doesn't cover it, and rates are shared on your welcome call before you commit. If what you describe sounds more clinical, we'll tell you and point you to therapy instead.

Questions people ask before starting
What if my therapist isn't the right fit?
Tell us. Fit matters, and we'll rematch you with a different therapist without any awkwardness. You can also share preferences on the intake form, such as your therapist's gender or the times you're available, so the first match is as close as possible.
Do you have an office in Sandy Springs?
There's no physical office in Sandy Springs. Sessions are held by secure video with Georgia-licensed therapists, so you can meet from home, a private office, or anywhere in the state with a closed door and a good connection.
How quickly can I start?
The intake form takes about two minutes. A care coordinator calls within 24 to 72 hours, and the first session is usually within about a week, depending on therapist availability. No card is collected online and nothing is charged before your first session.
How do I start therapy for my teenager in Sandy Springs?
A parent or legal guardian completes our intake form on the teen's behalf and signs consent. We see teens ages 13 to 17. A care coordinator talks briefly with both of you, then matches your teen with a therapist who specializes in adolescents. Sessions are by secure video, so your teen can join from home after school.
Is online therapy private?
Sessions run on a HIPAA-compliant video platform, and your paperwork lives in a secure client portal. You choose a private place to join from. If you use insurance, your plan sees a diagnosis code and dates of service, never the content of your sessions. Private pay is available if you'd rather not file a claim.
