“Samantha has been my therapist for many years now, and from our first session I knew she was the right person for me. She is kind, listens to what you have to say, and gives her honest opinion. She has not once in the five years I've been a patient of hers made me feel lesser of myself. She has worked with me through several hard years and been there for the good ones too. Anyone looking for a great therapist should give Samantha a shot. Trust me, you won't regret it!”

Getting to know Samantha Platta
I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from Marywood University. Originally from Pennsylvania, I am now a transplant to Georgia, where the heat is definitely something to get used to. I am an animal lover and a stay-at-home mom to my infant son.
My general practice focuses on individual adults and adolescents. I am an active listener who strives to provide an unbiased perspective within a confidential and safe environment. To meet the unique needs of each client, I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies.
With over 10 years of experience, I have treated individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and various mental health diagnoses. I also have significant experience working with teens and young adults facing challenges such as bullying, academic difficulties, parental or peer stressors, and poor self-image.
I combine my education, experience, and passion to offer each client a unique therapy journey. I will work closely with you to build on your strengths while addressing areas of your life where you want to heal and grow. I look forward to the opportunity to begin this journey with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a "real life" approach to therapy and ensure that I am available to my clients' needs as much as possible. I want my folks to feel comfortable working on some of their more difficult life needs or experiences. I hope my clients feel validated, understood and supported. My goal is for my clients to feel safe and secure as we embark on their therapeutic journey.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
