Training and Approach

Bryan G. Stephens, MA, MBA, CPCS, NCC, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have practiced in behavioral health for over 30 years and I have been licensed as an LPC since 2000. I am trained clinical supervisor and began training therapists in small and large groups, since I became a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in 2011.

I am active in my profession, serving on the Board of the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia (LPCA) as Ethics Chair in 2012, and I served as President of that organization from 2021-2024.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in 1992 from Florida Tech, and my Master of Arts in Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology in 1996. I started as a case manager before becoming a therapist, working in community behavioral health, where I practiced as part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of other therapists, case managers, nurses, and doctors. It was in this environment where I learned to treat the large variety of issues brought to our clinic by a diverse population. I have used that expertise in both my personal practice and to develop clinical programs for clinics and treatment centers. On Thursdays I have office hours at Psych Atlanta in their Marietta Office.

I also earned my Executive MBA from Kennesaw State University in 2006 which aided me in my 20 years of Executive Management, where I served as a Chief Executive Officer in a public behavioral health agency, with over 450 employees and an annual budget of $27 million. There I established and executed major goals and objectives, providing leadership, direction, and guidance for agency activities.
My primary approach is a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy informed by interpersonal theory. I use styles and techniques that match the needs of the client based on my years of practice.
