Therapy for Lawyers in Atlanta & Across PSYPACT States
Being a lawyer calls for intellectual focus, steady composure, long hours, and frequent navigation of conflict. Whether you practice in Big Law, boutique litigation, public defense, serve as in-house counsel, or run your own firm, the demands of the legal profession can quietly accumulate over time.
I offer confidential, specialized therapy for lawyers who want a thoughtful, steady space to reflect, manage stress, and care for their well-being; without stepping away from their ambition or commitment to their work.
If you’ve been looking for therapy for lawyers, mental health support for attorneys, or a therapist who understands the culture and pressures of the legal field, you’re in the right place.
How Therapy for Lawyers Is Different
Working with attorneys requires an understanding of:
Legal culture and hierarchy
Billable hour pressures
Partnership dynamics
Ethical and confidentiality concerns
High-conflict communication patterns
Analytical thinking styles
My approach is practical, insight-oriented, and emotionally attuned. Therapy integrates:
Evidence-based treatment for anxiety and depression
Burnout recovery strategies
Nervous system regulation tools
Cognitive restructuring for perfectionism
Work-life boundary development
Financial therapy (for compensation stress, debt anxiety, or lifestyle pressure)
Relationship-focused interventions for couples where one or both partners are attorneys
You do not need therapy that feels vague or unstructured. You need therapy that respects your intellect while expanding your emotional range.
Common Issues to Address in Therapy
Burnout in Big Law and High-Demand Firms
When work consumes evenings, weekends, and mental space, exhaustion becomes normalized. We can work on evaluating sustainability, boundaries, and long-term alignment.
Anxiety and Performance Pressure
From court appearances to client development, the stakes can feel constant. Therapy builds internal steadiness without sacrificing ambition.
Imposter Syndrome in Law
Even highly accomplished attorneys question whether they belong. We can address the cognitive distortions and internalized standards driving chronic self-doubt.
Substance Use and Coping
Happy hours, client dinners, and high stress can create risky coping patterns. Therapy provides confidential support to evaluate and recalibrate.
Career Transitions
Considering leaving Big Law? Moving in-house? Starting your own firm? Therapy can clarify values, financial implications, and identity shifts.
Relationships and Family Impact
Long hours and emotional depletion often spill into marriages and parenting. We can work on communication, presence, and rebuilding connection at home.
