Therapists in Georgia

My name is Jodi Cofer and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and I have been working in mental healthcare since 2015. I love working with individuals (13 and older), couples, and families to help them find hope and healing as they navigate relationships and mental health struggles. Using a variety of modalities, I work to assist clients in achieving goals that help them live fulfilling lives. My clients report positive outcomes and feel equipped to overcome many issues that felt insurmountable prior to therapy. I have a strong preference for in-person therapy but I am also equipped to utilize telemedicine as needed depending on client need.

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed as a "fraud". Your twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience. I believe that a strong relationship is an essential part of therapy and value each person’s expertise in their own life. My hope is that we can determine together your goals and that I can provide support for how to achieve them. My specializations include working with individuals who suffer from issues related to anxiety, depressive symptoms, self-esteem/self-worth, burnout, grief and loss, and navigating transitions (such as a career change, adjusting to a new medical diagnosis, or making health-related changes).

Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor, licensed in both WA and GA. I received my MA in psychology counseling in 2004 and have worked as a school based counselor before entering into my private practice in 2010. I enjoy partnering with clients to uncover the roots of maladaptive thinking. Once there is awareness and understanding healing can blossom. I love Jesus and acknowledge He is the source of our healing. I have a solid church family, a wonderful husband, beautiful daughter and two sons. I live on a peaceful farm with wide open spaces and a big garden. I enjoy playing in the dirt and reading good books…it’s a truly beautiful life.

Hello! My name is Jessica Hallman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. Many of us go throughout life having to be different versions of ourselves, whether that’s being different versions at work, with friends or with family. We get into this mode where we compartmentalize, hide ourselves and our experiences for various reasons which can include shame, pain, anxiety, anger, or fear of not being accepted. This often leaves us feeling lost, tired, unfulfilled, or unhappy. Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, problems with relationships, or a general sense of disconnectedness, I will work alongside you to promote inner healing, self discovery, and acceptance while allowing you to feel fully seen. I’m committed to creating a space that is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental where you can gently put down the “mask” and bring your whole self. I believe in having an individualized approach to meeting your needs. With the use of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapy, I will support you in gaining strength and finding joy. My belief is that we are each uniquely the captains of our own lives and at times, just need a new or different perspective on how to navigate our experiences. Let’s partner together, with you leading the way at your own pace (mask off), and begin the process of restoring your inner peace.

My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well. I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons. With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia. I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

Do your relationships feel unhealthy, unproductive, or even toxic? Have you found yourself stuck on an emotional roller coaster, desperate to get off—and stay off? Does “walking on eggshells” feel all too familiar? Learning to set healthy boundaries and process difficult emotions like anger isn't easy. And allowing yourself to be vulnerable? That can feel even harder. But healing is possible—and change is within reach. Whether you’ve experienced infidelity, betrayal, or emotional, physical, or verbal abuse, the effects can be lasting. Anxiety, depression, low self-worth, brain fog, and difficulty trusting or setting boundaries are all common responses to trauma. These challenges can shape how you see yourself and the world—but they don’t have to define you. Through a combination of professional training and lived experience, I offer a safe space to help you navigate betrayal trauma, PTSD from infidelity, and the aftermath of abuse. Together, we’ll work to rebuild your sense of self, strengthen your mind, and rewrite your story—because you hold the pen. You have the power to decide how your story ends. "Let’s take the first step—together."

I am a Christian and Afro-Caribbean mom and forever learner. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I dipped my toe into psychiatry for the first time as a high school student and am still furthering my education in clinical psychology today. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available to individuals who have always looked inward, fist-fought generational patterns, and still feel stuck in a world that says they need 15 more tasks completed by yesterday. I work to be a safe resting place for people who have moved from therapist to therapist, searching for someone who will truly see them for who they are rather than who the world has tried to mold them into. I desire to fill the Keturah-sized space in that wellness gap. I enjoy working side-by-side with clients to explore areas of possibility, rest, healing, and growth, and then provide the tools to make these things possible.

When I am not scrapbooking, sewing or creating in my craft room, you can find me volunteering in the community, spending time with friends or traveling.

You've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". I will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it, and it allows you to do your work. My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment in my career. Most recently I spent 5 years in Grady’s Psychiatric ER. Allowing me to quickly assess needs and develop a life plan with the client. Couple work is also a skilled area for me. Especially when communication has broken down evidenced by constant arguing. Therapy can break couples out of the destructive tit-for-tat cycle. Broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in. Women’s concerns and issues are important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. Topics include relationships, self development and growth. Another very successful service is my therapeutic walkthrough of popular books. Titles have included RC Blakes’ Queenology and Sophia Nelson’s The Woman Code. Currently, I am authoring The Majestic Woman Mindset, which comes from a woman’s empowerment curriculum I developed. TALK|THERAPY LIVE, is a podcast on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmxgzmGXbnqKKizcNu32WuA of educational videos and live broadcasts addressing behavioral health and relationships. Sometimes with special guests. I have been a helper/healer my entire career and looking forward to this season working with those I can help the most. So whether it’s life just happening, grief, a relationship starting or ending, relationship issues and specifically if there are struggles with depression, anxiety, or a disorder, REACH OUT…Success in life is about making good decisions. Starting therapy is always a great decision!!
