How to find the right therapist in Augusta, GA

When choosing a therapist in Augusta, GA, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available therapists who accept your insurance.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary.

“A common challenge people face when managing both ADHD and hypervigilance is feeling constantly overstimulated and mentally exhausted. ADHD makes it hard to filter distractions, while hypervigilance keeps the nervous system on high alert. These experiences make it difficult to relax, focus, or feel safe even in calm environments.”

– Ashley Ayala, LMFT

View article

“I wish more people understood that many people with ADHD often have to work twice as hard to manage daily tasks that others might find simple, highlighting the need for tailored support and understanding.”

“A huge part of therapy is untangling your identity from your symptoms and experiences. If you’re living with hyperactive-impulsive ADHD, you may have felt difficult, bad, or not able to be a great friend. Gaining clarity that your brain works differently and those symptoms are not who you are to the core can reduce negative self beliefs.”

ADHD and its effects on daily life

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is more than just difficulty with focus or hyperactivity. It's a complex neurological condition that can significantly affect various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and self-esteem. People with ADHD may struggle with impulsiveness, disorganization, and maintaining attention, which can lead to challenges in both personal and professional settings.

Why therapy is crucial for ADHD management

Seeking therapy for ADHD can be key to understanding and managing its symptoms. Therapists can provide insights into how ADHD impacts your mental well-being and offer practical strategies for managing its symptoms. Therapy can also address common co-occurring issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Meeting with a therapist can improve focus, organization, and emotional regulation, improving your quality of life.

Effective therapeutic approaches for ADHD

Various therapy approaches can be effective in managing ADHD, each catering to different needs:

Advantages of online therapy for ADHD

Online therapy offers a convenient and accessible way to receive support for ADHD. It can remove the need for travel, making it easier for people with ADHD to have regular therapy sessions. The flexibility of online therapy makes it possible to fit therapy appointments into many schedules. Additionally, receiving therapy from the comfort of your own home can create a relaxed environment that is good for open communication and focus.
