The care we offer

Relational care at Dogwood Medical Group is built on the understanding that the difficulties couples and families bring into the room are rarely about one person. Our therapists who specialize in relational work create a space where all voices can be heard without any one person being positioned as the problem, and they draw on structured, evidence-informed frameworks to help partners and family members build new patterns of communication and repair.

Relationships are part of behavioral health. Our couples and family clinicians are trained in evidence-based systemic and relational modalities, and care is delivered with the same evidence base as our individual treatment.

• Couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method-informed)
• Family therapy for adults and adult-child family units
• Parent guidance for adults navigating parenting under stress

Individual therapy here is a collaborative process, not a service delivered to you. Our licensed therapists work across several evidence-supported modalities, including cognitive-behavioral approaches, psychodynamic work, and mindfulness-integrated methods, and together with you they identify what fits your situation rather than applying a single template. Sessions move at a pace that respects both the urgency you may feel and the patience meaningful change requires.

Our therapists are independently licensed (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) and matched to your care based on your goals and the modalities best suited to them. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly to start.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills
• Psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy
• Trauma-focused care
• Perinatal and postpartum-specific therapy

Our secure video platform extends the same quality of care you would receive in our offices to wherever in Georgia you happen to be. Telehealth is available for both psychiatric and therapy appointments, and clients who use it consistently tell us it removes the practical friction that used to get in the way of keeping appointments. The session itself feels personal; the only thing missing is the commute.

Where clinically appropriate, both psychiatric care and psychotherapy are available through HIPAA-compliant telehealth. The same clinicians, the same care — delivered to wherever you can find a quiet, private space within your state of residence.

• Telepsychiatry medication management
• Teletherapy for psychotherapy and couples care
• Secure, HIPAA-compliant platform
• Equal-fee, in-network billing where your plan permits

Dogwood Medical Group has developed focused clinical pathways for conditions that benefit from a more coordinated, structured approach rather than general supportive care alone. These programs integrate therapy and psychiatric services where appropriate and are designed for adults navigating anxiety disorders, significant mood episodes, perinatal transitions, trauma histories, and other presentations that call for more than a standard weekly hour.

Some conditions benefit from a clinician with focused training. Our specialty programs are organized around the diagnostic categories that present most often in adult outpatient behavioral health, staffed by clinicians with additional training in each area.

• Anxiety disorders
• Mood disorders
• Trauma and PTSD
• Perinatal mental health
• Life transitions
• Grief and loss
• Workplace burnout

Psychiatric care at Dogwood Medical Group begins with a careful diagnostic evaluation rather than a quick leap to a prescription pad. Our psychiatrists take time to understand your history, your current symptoms, and your own goals before any medication decisions are made. Follow-up appointments are substantive enough to allow for real monitoring, honest conversation about side effects, and adjustments grounded in how you are actually doing.

Our psychiatric care is delivered by physicians who completed an MD or DO, a four-year residency in psychiatry, and who hold board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Visits are scheduled at the frequency your care requires.

• Diagnostic psychiatric evaluation
• Ongoing psychiatric medication management
• Coordination with primary care & specialty providers
• Care for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions
• Telehealth or in-person at your preference
