Licensed to practice in Georgia and accepts 47 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Trauma and PTSD, Depression and 10 more.
I am a licensed psychologist with over 18 years of experience providing evidence-based, multiculturally sensitive psychotherapy. I earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from The University of Georgia, a M.S. in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University, and a B.B.A. in Risk Management from The University of Georgia. My approach emphasizes self-awareness, insight, and behavioral change, using supportive challenge and practical strategies to foster growth. I believe in the power of thoughts to shape emotions and behaviors and am committed to helping clients build resilience and lead more fulfilling lives.
I help clients gain awareness of how their thoughts and behaviors impact different areas of their lives. I ask two questions: (1) Is what you are currently doing working for you? and (2) What are you willing to change? During the therapy session, you can expect me to supportively challenge your irrational beliefs, in an effort to help you develop insight about unhealthy behavioral patterns that negatively impact your relationships, self-esteem, and ability to set and accomplish goals. In addition, clients can look forward to receiving "homework", as most of the therapeutic change process actually, takes place outside of the counseling session.
I pride myself on delivering evidenced-based, multiculturally sensitive psychotherapy. I provide a safe space for you to explore and process your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I align with clients to cultivate a supportive, encouraging, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship.
I provide multiculturally sensitive psychotherapy for adolescents and adults through individual, couples, and family counseling. My expertise includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal challenges, substance abuse, and relationship issues. In addition to therapy, I offer consultation and outreach to public safety organizations and businesses, including churches, organizations, and corporations. I also facilitate trainings and seminars on communication skills, conflict resolution, work-life balance, and healthy relationships.

During my first session with Dr. Govan, I found her to be warm, open minded and authentic. She clearly draws from an base of understanding the whole person vs a quick solution. The time she took allowed me to open up fostering a sense of honesty and reflection. My decision is to continue the sessions.

Dr G, helps me to correct negative thoughts and words quickly. She gives great illustrations to bring home the point of concepts discussed. She lightens tough topics and makes difficult conversations easier to digest with humor and direct dialogue.
