Finding A Trauma Therapist in Atlanta, Georgia

Trauma Therapy in Atlanta

You live in the Atlanta metro area. Traffic is horrific most of the time. So, if that trauma therapist you feel is a great fit for you is very far, it could take you potentially an hour or two just to get to them. By the time you drive to their office, your stress level has just doubled from sitting in traffic and you might find yourself wondering if it’s worth it. This can make finding a therapist who does what you need even harder. So how do you find the support you really need when you need it, without having to settle for a therapist who doesn’t really do what you need just because they are close? If you are looking for a trauma therapist in Atlanta - I’d like to help you find someone who can really help.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is hard enough without the added challenge of traffic. Here are some tips to help you in that process.

Tip #1: Ask your Primary Care Doctor for a referral

Sometimes therapists and Primary Care Doctors network with each other in order to provide a higher quality of care to you as their patient. So ask your doctor if they know a good trauma therapist.

Tip #2: Ask for referrals from those you know

If you feel comfortable sharing with friends and family you are looking for a trauma therapist, then ask away. But it’s not uncommon for trauma survivors to feel uncomfortable sharing with friends and family that you’re struggling. If this is you, then don’t go there. Trust yourself that this one is not what you need.

Tip #3: Consider seeing an online therapist.

Covid-19 changed a lot for the field of mental health and there are more therapists offering online sessions than there were before. So googling trauma therapist could lead you to a website for a great trauma therapist. You might find yourself wondering if online is less effective than face-to-face. Don’t worry! There is plenty of research to support that online therapy is just as effective as face-to-face.

Tip #4: Consider looking for a therapist near where you work.

If you are admitted about finding a therapist you can meet with in person, you can try looking for one near where you work or another place you visit often. Maybe there is a therapist with a location near the daycare or gym you use.

Tip #5: Trust your instincts.

There are great trauma therapists and there are not-so-great trauma therapists. I have heard about the effect some of the not-so-great trauma therapists have had on those looking for help. So listen to yourself. If you are feeling the therapist is not a good fit, don’t be afraid to move on.
