Georgia’s escalating mental health crisis

The numbers tell a stark story about Georgia’s mental health landscape. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the state has seen a dramatic surge in mental health conditions, rising from nearly 1.4 million adults in 2021 to over 1.8 million in 2025. Among those, 475,000 are living with serious mental illnesses that require ongoing care.

Beyond that, more than 5 million Georgians live in communities without adequate mental health services. For many, finding care is a difficult task.

Facing this reality, Lisa Pringle, regional clinic director for Thriveworks in Sandy Springs, understands what’s at stake: “The mental health needs of Sandy Springs and surrounding areas are growing, and too many residents are unable to access the care they need. We’re committed to changing that. This new location brings quality, flexible behavioral healthcare directly to local community members, so we can meet them where they are.”

What this means for Sandy Springs residents

Maybe you’ve put off seeking help because you don’t know where to start. Or perhaps you’ve already tried only to encounter months-long waitlists or confusing insurance processes. The barriers are real, and they’re why so many people never get the support they need.

Our new Sandy Springs clinic removes those obstacles. You can access both therapy and psychiatry services, find a provider you connect with, and begin sessions within days.

Our approach to mental health care is designed to get you the support you need exactly when you need it:

  • No long waitlists: First appointments are typically available within seven days, compared to the national average wait of six weeks. In-person or online, evenings or weekends.
  • Truly affordable care: We’re in-network with 360+ insurance plans, including Medicare, with no membership or hidden fees.
  • Therapy and psychiatry in one place: Research shows combining talk therapy and medication works better than either alone.
  • Providers who get you: 94% of patients feel truly supported and understood by their therapist.
  • Patients who get better: Three out of four people with depression or anxiety report feeling better within three months.
