Therapists in Georgia

My practice assists Black clients across North America who are impacted by a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, and depression through a racially-sensitive treatment approach. We also work with individual clients seeking to improve their self-concept by understanding and processing the impact of historical and generational racial trauma on their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends, and their partners. I am a therapist who strives to fully understand my clients and their needs to create an optimized approach to meet their goals. I specialize in working primarily with individual adult clients to help them deal with issues such as infidelity, communication, stress management, anger management, relationship building, sexuality, etc. At Yolo Therapy, our ultimate goal is the well-being of our clients. For various reasons, many clients are unable to access traditional therapy settings but I do not believe that should prevent them from receiving exceptional services. I have catered my practice to the needs of those who need alternative options to therapy and am here to help you. ****Please note: Your initial session is ONLY TO ASSESS FOR THERAPEUTIC COMPATIBILITY. ****

Hi, I’m Stephany Thompson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with people across the entire lifespan—kids finding their voice, teens navigating identity and independence, adults balancing work and family, and older adults seeking meaning in later stages of life. No matter your age or stage, I believe therapy should feel like having a teammate in your corner: someone who listens deeply, challenges gently, and helps you discover tools that actually fit your world. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach, I meet you right where you are. For children, that might mean using play and creativity to help them express big feelings.
