Andrea Bryant, LMFT, MDiv, PMH-C

Licensed therapist in Atlanta, GA. Serving women, BIPOC clients, and mothers in Atlanta, Dunwoody, and virtually across Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina

Hi, I’m Andrea Bryant, a BIPOC, Women-Focused, Pregnancy & Postpartum Therapist in Atlanta, GA

I work with individuals, couples, and families—especially women, BIPOC clients, mothers, and professionals—who want a safe, supportive space to explore life’s transitions, relationships, and their connection to self. Whether you're navigating motherhood, stress, identity, or simply trying to hold it all together, you’re welcome here.

You might be carrying a lot—juggling responsibilities, emotions, or transitions that feel like too much at once.  Maybe you're preparing for the relationship you want or healing from the one that hurt. Maybe you're just trying to find space for yourself in the middle of it all. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be your space to breathe, reconnect, and move toward clarity.

Get Support from a Women’s Therapist in Atlanta & Dunwoody

Therapy can be a space where you finally stop holding your breath. A space where you're not expected to have all the answers, fix everything, or carry it all without breaking. For many women, that space can feel hard to find—especially when you're used to being the one others rely on.

As a women’s therapist in Atlanta and Dunwoody, I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences—burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional weight of caregiving. I also support women through the unique shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood, when everything can feel both tender and overwhelming at once.

Whether you’re in survival mode, navigating a major life change, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help. This is a space where your voice matters, your pace is honored, and your story is met with compassion. You don’t have to explain everything to be supported. You just have to show up as you are.

Who I Work With

Life can be full of contradictions—you might be successful but stressed, surrounded by people but still feel disconnected, or doing everything “right” yet still not feeling whole. I care about creating a space where you don’t have to justify how you feel. You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are.

  • Pregnancy and postpartum can bring joy, exhaustion, anxiety, identity shifts—and everything in between. As a certified pregnancy and postpartum therapist in Atlanta, I offer support for new and expecting mothers who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure of how to process all that’s changing. This is a space to be honest about your experience and reconnect with yourself—without guilt or pressure.

  • As a BIPOC therapist, I understand how exhausting it can be to explain or defend your lived experience. Therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and respected. I provide culturally affirming therapy in Atlanta that honors your story, your roots, and the full complexity of who you are—without needing to translate or shrink yourself to be heard.

  • When you’re constantly performing, leading, or giving, it’s easy to lose touch with your own needs. I work with professionals and entrepreneurs who appear to have it all together—but feel disconnected, anxious, or burnt out underneath. Therapy offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what fulfillment truly looks like—beyond the pressure to keep going.

  • Whether you're preparing for a relationship rooted in mutual respect or healing from one that left you hurt, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself in the process. Together, we’ll explore patterns, boundaries, and emotional wounds so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust—whether you’re opening your heart again or learning to protect it.

  • Friendship can be one of the most meaningful—and sometimes painful—parts of life. If you’re feeling distant from someone you care about, struggling with trust, or navigating hurt in a close friendship, therapy can help. I offer friendship-focused therapy to support honest conversations, repair emotional ruptures, and help you build stronger, healthier connections.

  • When life feels like it’s shifting faster than you can keep up, therapy can offer a steady place to land. Whether you’re going through a career change, ending a relationship, starting something new, or simply overwhelmed by daily stress, you don’t have to carry it all alone. This is a space to process, breathe, and find your way forward.

  • You deserve support that sees and affirms every part of who you are. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in a space that honors your identity, your relationships, and your lived experience. Whether you're exploring identity, navigating family dynamics, or seeking a space to simply be yourself—you are welcome here, fully and without judgment.

  • Spirituality can be a powerful source of meaning—but it can also bring up questions, doubts, or pain. Whether you're reconnecting with your faith, deconstructing past beliefs, or simply exploring what spirituality means to you now, therapy can offer a nonjudgmental space to process it all. Your beliefs are respected here, whatever they look like.

  • When anxiety takes over or emotions feel too big to manage, it can be hard to function—let alone feel like yourself. Whether you’re living with constant worry, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of not being okay, therapy can help you slow things down. Together, we’ll create space for relief, grounding, and tools that actually support your nervous system.

  • Every relationship has its challenges—but you don’t have to face them alone. Whether you're preparing for a long-term commitment or working through tension, therapy offers a space to strengthen trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection. I support couples and premarital partners in creating the kind of relationship that feels safe, honest, and fulfilling.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapist in Atlanta and Dunwoody

Bringing life into the world—whether through pregnancy, birth, or parenting—can be both beautiful and deeply overwhelming. You may feel pressure to be grateful, present, or strong all the time, even when your emotions say otherwise.

As a certified Perinatal Mental Health therapist (PMH-C), I offer a safe space to explore the emotional ups and downs that often accompany this season. Whether you're feeling anxious, disconnected, unseen, or simply exhausted, you are not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it in silence.

This is your space to speak freely, grieve what’s been hard, and reconnect with yourself as you adjust to the new rhythm of life. Therapy can support you in feeling more grounded, validated, and equipped to care for yourself—so you can feel more like yourself again.

How I Support You

Therapy is a space to come as you are—tired, uncertain, growing, or healing. Together, we’ll make room for your voice, your pace, and the changes you’re ready to explore.

  • EFT supports deeper understanding of how emotions shape your relationships—with yourself and with others. It helps create emotional safety, especially when you're navigating disconnection, anxiety, or attachment wounds.

  • Narrative Therapy gives space to reflect on the stories you've been told or tell yourself—about identity, love, success, or worth—and to reshape them in ways that feel more aligned with who you truly are.

  • Therapy should feel like a conversation, not a lecture. With this approach, we work together through open, thoughtful dialogue that centers your voice, your values, and your lived experience.

  • This approach helps identify your strengths and focuses on small, meaningful changes—especially useful when you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.

  • This season can bring intense emotions, identity shifts, and unspoken expectations. Whether you're adjusting to new motherhood or healing through pregnancy-related stress, you don't have to carry it alone.

  • Friendships can be rich, complicated, and sometimes painful. If you’re navigating conflict, distance, or longing for deeper connection, therapy can help you process and rebuild with care.

  • As a BIPOC therapist, I offer a space where your identity is not only welcomed—but deeply understood. We’ll explore how generational, cultural, and personal experiences intersect with your mental health.

  • If faith or spirituality is part of your life, therapy can honor that. Whether you're reconnecting with your beliefs or wrestling with questions, we’ll explore what’s meaningful for you—without pressure.

  • Whether you’re planning a future together or working through relationship strain, couples therapy can help you reconnect with honesty, clarity, and intention—while strengthening emotional trust.

  • From burnout and transitions to self-worth and relationships, I work with women who carry a lot. Therapy is a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the person you’re becoming.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A women’s therapist helps clients navigate emotional, relational, and identity-based challenges that often come with the many roles women carry. This can include anxiety, burnout, self-worth, relationship stress, motherhood, and life transitions. As a women therapist in Atlanta and Dunwoody, I provide a safe space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. Therapy can help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more clarity and support.

  • Postpartum therapy is a specialized form of support for mothers during and after pregnancy. It’s designed to help you process the emotional, mental, and physical changes that can come with childbirth and new parenthood. Whether you're experiencing postpartum anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, or a loss of identity, working with a certified postpartum therapist can give you the space to heal, feel seen, and rebuild your sense of self. You don’t have to go through this season alone.

  • Yes. I offer virtual therapy for clients located in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. You don’t have to be in Atlanta or Dunwoody to receive support. Online therapy sessions are secure, confidential, and can be just as effective as in-person work—especially when life feels busy, or access to care is limited in your area. Whether you're at home, in another city, or managing a full schedule, virtual sessions make support more flexible and accessible.

  • If you're searching for a Black female therapist in Atlanta, I offer culturally responsive, affirming therapy for women and BIPOC clients. As a Black woman and licensed therapist, I understand how important it is to be seen and supported without having to explain your cultural background. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, identity shifts, or generational stress, this is a space where your story is honored, and your healing matters.

  • Yes. Friendship can be deeply rewarding—and also deeply complex. I provide therapy for friendship issues including conflict, emotional disconnection, trust ruptures, and grief over lost or changing friendships. If you’re struggling to maintain meaningful connections, therapy can help you understand what’s happening, set boundaries, and move toward healthier, more emotionally supportive relationships.

  • Therapy for women navigating major life transitions—like career changes, motherhood, relationship shifts, or personal identity work—often involves approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods help you better understand your emotional responses, reshape internal narratives, and build tools to move through change with greater self-trust and stability. I specialize in supporting women through these kinds of transitions with care and collaboration.
