About Me
Hi, I'm Dr. Tina Watson
I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to you and your therapeutic goals
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Tina A. Watson & Associates, LLC, a private practice based in Atlanta, GA. I work with young adults, adults, and couples who are tired of feeling stuck — clients who come to me when they're ready for something to change, whether that's the way they feel inside, the patterns showing up in their relationships, or the heaviness they've been carrying for too long.

I believe in tailoring treatment to a persons needs. As an assimilative integrationist, I pull from a range of evidence-based techniques - cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and more - and I shape the work around your unique history, personality, and goals.
Credentials You Can Trust
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology, completed my internship training at Hartford Hospital, and completed postdoctoral training at Emory University School of Medicine. I have experience working at the Atlanta Veteran Affairs Medical Center and serve as an Adjunct Faculty Member at Emory University School of Medicine. I'm a member of the American Psychological Association and Georgia Psychological Association.
Connection First, Techniques Second
Research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most powerful factors in whether therapy actually works. I focus on creating a space where you genuinely feel heard, safe, and understood. That relationship is the foundation everything else is built on.

FAQs
Questions People Ask Before Their First Session
Do you offer telehealth services?
Yes - I provide secure telehealth sessions to clients throughout Georgia. Whether you're in Atlanta or elsewhere in the state, you can access therapy from wherever you feel most comfortable.
What happens during the consultation?
It's a relaxed conversation - no forms, no pressure. You share a little about what's been going on, I answer any questions you have, and we both get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
I've never been to therapy before. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Many of my clients come to therapy for the first time as adults. There's nothing you need to know or prepare ahead of time - just show up and we'll figure out the rest together.
How long will I need to be in therapy?
That really depends on you and your goals. Some people find meaningful relief in a few months; others benefit from longer-term work. We'll talk about this early on and revisit it as you make progress.
Do you serve clients outside of Atlanta?
Yes. My office location is in North Atlanta for in person sessions. For clients anywhere else in Georgia, I offer telehealth sessions through a secure, HIPPA-compliant platform.
