Grounded Psychotherapy is an Atlanta-based private practice owned and operated by Natasha Vayner, a licensed clinical social worker. The practice specializes in three primary clinical areas: trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Vayner came to psychotherapy after spending four years working in public relations and marketing, a transition that informs her understanding of professional stress and identity-related challenges.
The practice’s therapeutic framework draws on an acceptance-oriented philosophy, referencing Carl Rogers’ foundational concept that genuine acceptance of oneself creates the conditions for meaningful personal change. Vayner emphasizes finding the right therapeutic fit, acknowledging that the process of selecting a therapist can itself feel uncertain for prospective clients. Initial consultations are offered at no charge to help potential clients assess whether the relationship is a good match before committing to ongoing work.
Services at Grounded Psychotherapy extend beyond traditional talk therapy sessions. The practice provides video materials and curated reading recommendations as supplementary resources for clients working through treatment. Crisis support information is also available through the website, directing individuals to the National Suicide Prevention Line and the Georgia Crisis Line as needed.
Vayner is based in Atlanta and participates in the local community, including hiking on Atlanta-area trails. The practice’s name reflects a therapeutic metaphor, positioning stability and present-moment grounding as central to the healing process. Clients in the greater Atlanta area can connect with the practice by phone at (404) 210-0569 or by email at natasha@groundedpsychotherapy.com.
The website presents the practice’s clinical perspectives through dedicated sections covering services, professional background, and therapeutic resources. Grounded Psychotherapy serves the greater Atlanta area and is well suited for individuals seeking trauma-informed, evidence-informed individual therapy from a licensed clinician.
