Have you tried therapy before and walked away feeling misunderstood? Have you worried that you wouldn't be able to share everything about yourself in session, fearing judgement? When we don’t fit the norms around us, it’s pretty easy for anxiety and depression to wreak havoc on our mental health and self-esteem, making it more difficult to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable.
Having struggled with alienation myself, I’ve gravitated to helping people who experience this too. Although this can be something anyone goes through, I often find myself supporting people who are neurodiverse, LGBQTA+, ethically nonmonogamous, and those with “alternative” faiths. In addition to supporting specific identities, I help people reduce their stress and anxiety, adjust to uncomfortable changes, climb out of depression, and build the confidence, insight, and judgment they need to improve themselves to impact their life.
I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can express yourself freely, so we both learn more about who you are and what you need.
Whether we work together or not, I'm really glad you're taking the time to consider therapy and care for yourself <3

Hi, I’m glad you’re here,
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I’m also a husband and a father of five, so I know life can be unpredictable. When something hits you that you weren’t ready for, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It usually means you don’t have the right tools yet.
I studied engineering and psychology, and it shapes how I work. I look for the patterns underneath a problem and what keeps you stuck. Then we build practical steps you can use in your daily life. I think of therapy as a workbench. We figure out what isn’t working and try new things together.
I use CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR, depending on what fits you best. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and major life changes. I especially enjoy working with men, active duty military, veterans, and first responders.
I also see couples that want to improve communication and I enjoy helping with everything beyond that too: rebuilding trust, reconnecting, working through major life changes, and handling the stress that military, first responder, and family life put on a relationship.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. Reach out and we’ll talk about what’s going on and whether I’m a good fit.

I have four years of experience in school-based settings working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. I believe that healing begins when you feel safe enough to show up as your authentic self.
As a wife, new mom, and eldest daughter, my own life experiences have shaped the compassion, understanding, and perspective I bring into the therapeutic space. I understand that life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to show up for everyone else while also figuring out how to care for yourself.
If you’re navigating anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, lack healthy boundaries, or simply trying to find your groove in a new season of life, you’re in the right place. I bring a relaxed, warm, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. This is as a cozy, judgment-free space where you can take a breath, unravel your thoughts, and feel supported as you work toward becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling heard, encouraged, and reminded that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. My goal is the bring a little warmth to your day, a little sunshine, and a safe space for you to grow.

I would love to work with you to help you through whatever you are experiencing. I believe anyone is capable of change. I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all go through, at times. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person acts and feels. The more you think a thought, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. These thoughts eventually form habits, which also includes emotional habits. I offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives.
My passion is helping people who experience anxiety, nervous system issues, as well as hormonal issues. I work with depression or low self-esteem. I work with stress management and developing coping skills. I use practical and experiential techniques such as relaxation and somatic exercises. I also offer Christian counseling. I also offer life coaching.

My journey into counseling began after witnessing how military service affected the emotional well-being and relationships of someone close to me. Approaching those changes with compassion and curiosity led me to study human behavior, and since then I have had the privilege of supporting domestic violence survivors, individuals involved in the court system, outpatient community mental health clients, residents in substance use and personality disorder treatment programs, and military personnel during my own time in service. Today, I continue to build on that experience through specialized training in relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a supportive space where adults can heal, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want.

It's easy to brush off signs that your mental health is in need of attention- until your body demands that you listen. Maybe you find yourself lying awake at night, or you're actually spending most of your free time sleeping. Tears seem to well up at the drop of a hat, or you carry a constant pit in your stomach. Some of us have been taught that strength means suffering in silence, while others have always used avoidance to cope. Oftentimes we are too busy taking care of others to take care of ourselves. Now is the time to take care of you.

Growing up a child of two Marines, talk therapy was not a process I discussed or even knew about other than the random Freudian Psychotherapy reference in movies or on television. Growing up with the male stereotype that men have no emotions or are unbothered by them, I always felt like the odd person out, I had them and typically felt controlled by them. Through self explorations in college and talking with a variety of mentors about direction in life, i was urged to explore counseling. In the process of working on my self, I found what I felt is a calling and a way to give back.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with 5 years of experience in social work in varying helping and counseling roles. I earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia. I am also certified in Advanced grief counseling.
My goal is to meet people where they are in their journey toward improvement and assisting them to work through the barriers that come up in life so they feel more confident working through them more successfully and independently outside of therapy. I have an eclectic approach so I will adjust strategies from issue to issue. I provide a safe therapeutic space to discuss any difficulties you face in life. So far I have had the opportunity to work with people from various ages and backgrounds from four years old to over one hundred years old.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. For more than twenty years, I’ve worked with adults, teens, and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. My main orientation is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which I use to help people understand and heal the protective and wounded parts of themselves. I also integrate attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to strengthen how clients relate to themselves and to the people who matter most.
I come to this work as both a professional and a person who’s lived through many of the challenges my clients face. I’m a parent who knows the daily strain of trying to be present for your family when you’re already running on empty. I’m a trauma survivor who understands what it’s like to rebuild trust in yourself after being hurt. I’ve dealt with painful medical conditions that have tested my patience, resilience, and faith in the system. I’m a husband in an interracial marriage, which continually deepens my understanding of identity, perspective, and what it means to hold space for difference with love and respect. And I’ve been both a therapist and a client, so I know how vulnerable it can feel to sit in that chair and hope the person across from you really gets it.
Because of those experiences, very little shocks me and nothing makes me see you as “less than.” I don’t view trauma, pain, or mistakes as signs of weakness — they’re evidence of survival. My job is to meet you there with honesty, compassion, and respect, and help you find your way forward at a pace that’s right for you.

My name is Amanda Chilleme, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as a Master’s Certified Addiction Professional. For over 11 years, I have supported individuals in identifying what truly matters to them, navigating obstacles, and building a foundation for a more fulfilling future.
My primary specialty is working with men and women struggling with substance use disorders as well as process and behavioral addictions, helping them find a pathway to a life that feels less burdened and more aligned. I also have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, grief and bereavement, trauma, attachment concerns, and personality disorders.
As a clinician, I take a human-focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on—you already know the what. My role is to help you understand the why, and ultimately the how: how to shift it, heal it, overcome it, or, when appropriate, let it go altogether.
Your first session is best described as a two-way interview. As I listen to your story and your narrative begins to take shape, we collaboratively determine two things:
Whether I am the right therapist for you, and
Whether this therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both of us.
If we decide to move forward together, identifying your goals becomes your first assignment. This process allows me to better understand how you think, how you interpret challenges, and how barriers such as stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship dynamics show up for you. From there, we focus on one goal at a time.
I see myself as your coach, teammate, and cheerleader!
Whether you are just beginning therapy or have been on this journey for some time, I invite you to plant that seed—and see just how beautifully you grow.

Hi! I am Sidney and I'm an expressive arts therapist. I love using all modalities, from traditional talk therapy, sand tray, music, to simply pencil and paper, as a way to explore your world. I offer only telehealth sessions at this time; if you are interested in child counseling, we can talk further to see if your child would be a good fit. In my personal time, I love TTRPG, theatre, being outside, playing and cuddling with my pets, and spending quality time with friends.

Are you feeling disconnected from your body and emotions? Do you struggle to sleep, focus, or feel at ease because your mind is never quiet? I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Trauma-Conscious Yoga Instructor. It’s my passion to help people connect to their true selves and heal the wounds that are holding them back from their full potential. I believe that our minds, bodies, and spirits are deeply connected and that to treat trauma and the hurdles that come along with it, we must treat the whole person. I also believe that you are the ultimate authority in your life and that you will innately know what you need to heal when given a safe space to process trauma, address challenges, and grow in your self awareness and self confidence. I would feel honored to partner with you on your healing journey.

Understanding anxiety treatment options in Augusta, GA
Anxiety treatment has evolved significantly over the years, and today there are numerous evidence-based approaches that can effectively help you manage and overcome anxiety symptoms. The good news is that you have options – from traditional talk therapy methods to newer, innovative techniques, there’s likely a treatment approach that will resonate with your learning style and personal preferences. Below are some of the most common and effective therapeutic approaches our Augusta, GA therapists use to help clients find relief from anxiety.
Examples of evidence-based approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A commonly used method for anxiety treatment, CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical coping strategies. Many of our Augusta, GA therapists specialize in CBT techniques specifically adapted for anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly effective for anxiety with emotional regulation challenges, DBT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you manage intense emotions and reduce anxiety symptoms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating meditation and awareness of the present moment, this approach helps you develop a healthier relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety while committing to actions aligned with your values, helping you live a fulfilling life despite anxious feelings.
Specialized anxiety treatment areas
Our Augusta, GA therapists have expertise in treating various anxiety-related issues, including:
- Generalized anxiety disorder: Persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations
- Social anxiety: Fear of social situations and being judged by others
- Panic disorder: Recurring panic attacks and fear of future episodes
- Specific phobias: Intense fear of particular objects, situations, or activities
How to find the right anxiety therapist in Augusta, GA
What to look for in an anxiety therapist
Credentials and experience: Look for licensed therapists (e.g. LMFT, LICSW/LCSW, LPCC, or psychologists) with specific training in anxiety. When searching the Grow Therapy online therapy platform, you will see a clear display of each therapist’s credentials, years of experience, and specialty areas.
Therapeutic approach alignment: Consider which therapeutic approaches resonate with you. Some people prefer structured, skills-based approaches like CBT, while others may benefit from more exploratory or mindfulness-based methods.
To find a therapist by treatment method, you can use the “Treatment Methods” filter above. You may also double check a therapist’s treatment methods by viewing the “My treatment method” section on their profile page. To learn more about the types of therapy available, check out our guide on the different types of therapy.
Availability and scheduling: Choose a therapist whose schedule aligns with yours. Many of our Augusta, GA providers offer both virtual and in-person sessions, providing flexibility for your busy lifestyle.

Getting started with anxiety therapy in Augusta, GA
What to expect in your first session
Your first therapy session is designed to help you and your therapist get to know each other and begin understanding your anxiety experiences. Your therapist will likely ask about:
- Your current anxiety symptoms and triggers
- How anxiety impacts your daily life
- Your personal and family mental health history
- Your goals for treatment
- Any previous therapy experiences
This initial session is also your opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process, your therapist’s approach, and what you can expect moving forward. To learn more about the therapy process, check out our guide to going to therapy.
Preparing for your anxiety treatment journey
Questions to Ask Your Therapist:
- What is your experience helping people who have signs of anxiety?
- What therapeutic approaches do you use for anxiety?
- How long does treatment typically take?
- What can I do between sessions to support my progress?
- How will we measure progress?
Setting realistic expectations: Anxiety treatment is a process, not a quick fix. While many people experience some relief early in treatment, developing lasting coping skills and seeing significant symptom reduction typically takes time and consistent effort.
Developing coping strategies: Your therapist will work with you to develop personalized coping strategies that you can use both in and outside of your sessions. These might include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or mindfulness practices.
