Atlanta African American Therapy

Mental Health Care for African Americans in Atlanta, GA—Sandy Springs Counselors

Reaching out for mental health care may be the right next step for you, but that does not mean it is an easy next step. Certain barriers can keep people from seeking the help they deserve, and some people bump up against more roadblocks than others. African Americans, for example, receive therapy at half the rate as Caucasians do even though they suffer from mental illness at the same rates, according to a 2010 study. A number of factors contribute to the inequality. Accessibility and quality of care are two significant barriers to African Americans receiving the mental health care they deserve. In a 2012 radio interview, Psychiatrist Dr. William Lawson expounded, “Dr. Satcher in his surgeon general’s report noted that there was less accessibility of mental health services for people of color for a variety of reasons. Part of it is that many of the systems simply aren’t located proximity to where people of color are.” Dr. Lawson went on, “Part of it is that many professionals simply don’t know how to diagnose properly African-Americans.” Dr. Lawson told a story of when he was in medical school and was taught that African Americans do not develop depression—a gross untruth. Many within the African American community and the mental health care community are working to correct this history of inaccessible and inadequate care, and they are fighting for a better future where African Americans receive the mental health care they deserve.

Thriveworks Atlanta in Sandy Springs, GA believes that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. Our office hopes to remove roadblocks and make it easier for African Americans to reach out for therapy.

Building Trust between a Therapist and Client

When Jinneh was in high school, she struggled with depression after her mother died. When a mental health professional prescribed something for her depression, Jinneh’s family and friends did not trust the counselor’s intentions. They convinced Jinneh not to fill the medication. In college, Jinneh was still depressed when her roommate recommended she start therapy again. With treatment, Jinneh’s depression healed, and now, she works in the mental health field. Her story is told in The Washington Post’s article, “Therapists say African Americans are increasingly seeking help for mental illness.” Jinneh’s story is not unique. Many others have not trusted mental health professionals, but that trust is growing.

Therapists have to establish trust with their clients for mental health care to be effective. In many ways, trust can be built before therapy begins. At Thriveworks Atlanta, we believe that transparency is a big part of trust. We want to be transparent about what therapy involves and to equip future clients with information about what they can expect from our professionals.

First and foremost, our office provides individualized care. Each client has unique experiences, goals, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, and dreams. As clients become comfortable with the therapeutic process, they can delve deeper and deeper as they set the pace. Along the way, therapists are guides, working at a pace that clients feel comfortable. It is the therapist’s job to create a space where clients feel safe and where they can share honestly about anything, including their cultural, ethnic, and racial context. At Thriveworks Atlanta, our professionals understand that an individual’s context matters for their mental health. In therapy, African Americans often work through difficult topics they may be facing such as…

  • Discrimination
  • Career advancement
  • Racial trauma
  • Anxiety
  • Grief counseling
  • Divorce
  • Sexual identity issues
  • Depression
  • Child therapy
  • Obsessive-compulsive tendencies
  • Anger management
  • Executive coaching
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Substance use
  • Eating disorders
  • Suspected abuse of a child
  • Infidelity
  • Addiction
  • Psychiatric testing
  • Job loss
  • Couples and marriage counseling

Another area where the therapists at Thriveworks Atlanta seek to earn trust with their African American clients is by working with their community support. Religious leaders, family members, and friends can all play a part in holistic care. Therapists and community members are all on the same team, working toward the same goal—an individual’s well-being. Each has a unique and important part to play. Religious leaders can support an individual’s mental health in ways that therapists cannot. Therapists can support an individual’s mental health in ways that friends cannot. Family can provide support in ways that pastors cannot. Friends can give care that counselor cannot. Every aspect of an individual’s support community is important.

Tenethria was great

★★★★★
When I first met Tenethria I had no idea what to expect I have never been to counseling before and I wasn’t even sure that what I was experiencing was serious enough to warrant see anybody. She assured me that I was in the right place for the right reasons and it was OK to keep talking just for work life balance coaching or anxiety management or anything like that

★★★★★
Shawn is hands down the best counselor I've ever had! She's helped my boyfriend & I tremendously and quite frankly saved our relationship... and our sanity.

Linda Buie has changed my life!

★★★★★
Linda is amazing!! I had been to a couple of therapists in the past, but never really saw a significant change. When I had my first appointment with Linda, she listened intently and took a genuine interest in the struggles I was facing. On the next visit, she had an action plan, complete with visual guides and worksheets for me to complete to really address and work on the issues. Every visit she recalls exactly what we talked about previously and checks in on progress. I can't say enought nice things about Linda. She is caring, genuine, real and tells it like it is, which I love. She has a nice way of delivering information that is constructive and helpful. I am constantly recalling Linda's advice in my every day life and it has helped me tremendously. I truly feel like myself again and it's thanks to Linda's guidance.

I have had the honor of knowing Twilynn Jourdain for over 30 years. She is a intelligent professional, known for her integrity, with a caring & compassionate style. I have admired her ability to connect with people for many years. In a therapeutic setting, this ability has allowed her to literally change a patients life for the better.

Life Altering

★★★★★
Alex Prince has worked with me for a while. When I first saw him, I was in a very dark, depressed state with no sense of self-worth. Due to his insight and compassion I am now a very happy person with a full life. Alex truly was the component that moved me along from one stage to the next supportively and painlessly. His people skills (and humor) are invaluable. I could not have hoped for better results.

I love meeting with Ms.Mack!

★★★★☆
I love meeting with Ms.Mack! She listens to me very well. Unfortunately, paying the $33 a month for the first three months is a downfall.
Thriveworks Counseling Atlanta

Extremely Dissapointing Service

★☆☆☆☆
Unfortunately, I will no longer be coming to counseling sessions. I cancelled the appointment with you on Monday October 1st to reschedule on October 24th. Due to the fact I was 16 minutes outside of the 23 hour cancelltion period I was chard $99.00. I was not made aware of this fee during my phone call with the receptionist but she notated in my account that I was and accepted. I only found out when I looked at my bank statement. This is extremely unethical and I called the billing department with my concerns and was told nothing can be done about this. I hope in the future Thrivworks changes its policies and trains their employees on how to properly go about making clients fully aware of policy and procedures.
Thriveworks Counseling Atlanta

Twilynn Jourdain

★★★★★
I saw Twilynn for over 3 years and I cannot express how thankful I am that she was my therapist. We worked on conflict management, confrontation, self esteem, and communication along with a variety of other topics. I still think back to her advice when difficult situations arise. She was always calm and understanding but also pushed back appropriately when I needed to be challenged. I cannot say enough good things about my experience.

Dr Barbara Rubin has been a staunch supporter, friend and ally to the transgender community and especially to the people of THEA! She gives her time and expertise to help us grow and provide for the local trans community
Thriveworks Counseling Atlanta

Best decision

★★★★★
If you are like me, and have never received personal counseling, than I strongly recommend you give it a try. My first ever counseling appointment was at Thrive Works (Roswell/Alpharetta) with Michael Marti. I left my first session feeling misunderstood. As a result I spent the next 3 months visiting a handful of other counselors, but saw no progress toward becoming a happier, better version of me. At the end of those 3 months I finally hit rock bottom - and that's when I realized that Michael Marti (Thrive Works) was absolutely right about me. Realizing that he knew what I was going through, I immediately scheduled a second appointment. I have now received regular, weekly counseling from Michael through Thrive Works for nearly a year to this date - best decision I had made in years!

Thriveworks Counseling Atlanta

Dr. Barbara Rubin

★★★★★
I met Barbara Rubin nearly 10 years ago in Santa Fe at a workshop that emphasized being your authentic self. Over the course of that weekend and knowing her intimately ever since, I can tell you she brings her entire self to her clients. Dr. Rubin provides a safe place for her clients to explore, navigate and heal their inner (and, ultimately, their outer) worlds. Her longstanding work with the trans community, coupled with her commitment to continued education, is sincere, nuanced and effective. Whether she's facilitating a workshop or attending one for her own emotional and spiritual nourishment, Dr. Rubin is a top-notch, committed professional who leads with her strongest asset: Character.
