Providing personalized solutions to fit your exact needs.
It takes strength, courage and sometimes fears to move forward in current life situations. At Healthy Life Choices, we understand that at some point in life we have all faced some form of difficulty, not because we are doing something wrong, but because we have made a decision to do something right, or something different.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of therapy do you offer?
We offer individual counseling, couples counseling, youth/teen counseling, group counseling, and EMDR counseling. Our therapists are experienced in various evidence-based therapy modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused therapy.
How do I know if my therapist will be the right fit?
Finding the right therapist is crucial for effective therapy and counseling. You should feel comfortable, understood, and supported by your therapist. During your sessions, consider whether you feel heard and if the therapist’s approach aligns with your needs and goals. It’s important to openly communicate your expectations and any concerns.
If you don’t feel a connection or if your needs are not being met, don’t hesitate to discuss this with your therapist or request a change to our front office staff. Our number one goal is to ensure you have a positive and productive therapeutic experience.
How long does a therapy session typically last?
The length of therapy sessions can vary, but most individual sessions last between 50 to 60 minutes.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. We adhere to strict confidentiality policies to ensure your privacy is protected.
How often will I need therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your individual needs and treatment plan. This will be discussed during your initial assessment. If you need to make any adjustments to the frequency of your sessions, please discuss it with your therapist at any time.
What insurance plans do you accept?
Due to challenges in obtaining consistent information from insurance companies, we no longer advertise participation with most major plans. Coverage varies widely by policy, and we are unable to guarantee specific benefits. We strongly encourage you to request written details of your mental health coverage and expected out-of-pocket costs directly from your provider. Private-pay and out-of-network clients are welcome, and superbills are available upon request for potential reimbursement.
Do you offer Telehealth (virtual therapy)?
Yes, we offer Telehealth services, allowing you to receive therapy from the comfort of your own home.
Where is your main office located?
Our main office is located within the Clairemont Office Center, located in the city of Decatur, at 160 Clairemont Ave Suite 200, Decatur, GA 30030.
