Simplify Life Counseling and Coaching has served the Atlanta metropolitan area since 2011, operating two physical office locations staffed by 15 providers whose combined clinical experience exceeds 59 years. The primary location is in Buckhead at 3495 Piedmont Road NE, Building 11, Suite 205, where the practice was founded by Dr. Emily Ferrara. A second office operates in Norcross at 35 S Peachtree Street, led by Hannah Rinehart, LPC.
The firm provides individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, and life coaching. Clinical areas of focus include anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, academic performance anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Specialized populations served include children, teens, women, men, minority communities, and clients seeking Christian-based counseling approaches.
The practice describes its diagnostic philosophy as data-driven, relying on structured assessment instruments rather than assumption-based clinical judgment. The website notes that conditions such as OCD are frequently misidentified or overlooked, citing an average delay of approximately 17 years between symptom onset and correct diagnosis. Dr. Ferrara founded the practice following her own experience with undiagnosed social anxiety and OCD, and that personal history informs the firm’s stated commitment to helping clients reach accurate diagnoses and effective treatment without prolonged delays.
Scheduling options include same-week appointments, virtual sessions, evening availability, and Saturday hours at both the Buckhead and Norcross locations, giving clients across the Atlanta metro flexibility in how and where they access care. The practice does not accept insurance directly but provides clients with invoices supporting out-of-network reimbursement requests. The firm partners with Mentaya to assist clients with the insurance claims processing workflow. Accepted payment methods include credit and debit cards, health savings cards, checks, and cash. A blog on the website covers mental health topics including postpartum OCD, childhood emotional regulation strategies, and OCD treatment approaches, extending the practice’s educational presence beyond the clinic walls.
