We’re thrilled to announce the opening of a new Thriveworks clinic in Augusta, Georgia. This addition strengthens our presence across the Peach State and brings more options to residents who have been waiting for quality behavioral healthcare.

The cost of limited mental health access

The data behind Georgia’s mental health crisis paints a picture of real barriers to care. Nearly 35% of Georgians experiencing mental distress don’t receive treatment because of cost. The state ranks 46th in the nation for mental health care access, and with millions living in communities without enough providers, many have nowhere to turn.

Chelsea Fite, regional clinic director for Thriveworks in Augusta, knows firsthand what this means for the community. “Augusta residents deserve more options when it comes to behavioral healthcare, and we’re proud to be one of them. Whether someone is seeking therapy for the first time or looking for a provider who takes their insurance, we make that process as simple and straightforward as possible.”

What this means for Augusta residents

Cost, wait times, and not knowing where to start are some of the most common barriers to getting help—and they’re exactly what keep people from taking that first step.

Our new Augusta clinic is built specifically to address those obstacles. You can access therapy and psychiatry services, choose from several different providers, and begin care 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: See someone as soon as this week. 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.
