Meet Dr. Patricia S Brawner, PhD

Experienced Psychologist in Athens, GA

I have been performing professional psychotherapy for over thirty years as a Licensed Psychologist in Athens, Georgia. To ensure continuity of care during the COVID-19 pandemic, I switched from traditional office psychotherapy to virtual psychotherapy. I have maintained my practice since the pandemic from my home office, A home build in 1890s located in an historic district.  The majority of my clients now benefit from in-person psychological services in the convenience and seclusion of my comfortable home office, even though I still provide virtual therapy sessions.

Expertise in Individual and Couples Therapy

I specialize in individual psychotherapy, helping clients overcome obstacles, manage stress, and achieve personal growth. I accept workers’ compensation, Blue Cross, and Medicare for individual treatment. However, couples and marital therapy is the most fulfilling part of my work. With extensive training and third-level certification in the Gottman Method, I offer both traditional couples therapy and 16-hour intensive couples therapy weekend sessions. These treatments are billed as out-of-pocket expenses since they are not covered by insurance.

Psychological Testing and Mental Health Support

I provide psychological testing services, including ADHD Evaluations, fitness-for-duty assessments, and exams for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. These services are billed as out-of-pocket expenses. My practice is built on personalized, compassionate, and effective care for individuals and couples. Whether you need marital therapy in Athens, GA, psychological testing near me, or ADHD support, I am committed to delivering excellence in every session.
