For Therapists: A Group for Your Client, and You Keep the Client
If you are a therapist with a client who would benefit from a group, The Community exists to be the group room that does not cost you the relationship. You tell your client about us, your client contacts us and joins a group here, and you remain their individual therapist. With your client’s consent, if desired, the two rooms can collaborate instead of working in parallel silence.

The group-only rate is $25 per session, for clients receiving no individual services here.
With your client’s consent, if desired, the two rooms can collaborate instead of working in parallel silence.
Every group here begins with a screening conversation with the facilitator: fit, readiness, and safety, the same three checks every member gets.
Why This Arrangement Exists
The structure here is deliberately safe for your therapy relationship. The group-only rate is $25 per session, for clients receiving no individual services here. The Community’s own clients have a group at their individual frequency inside their individual fee; your client gets the same rooms on group-only terms while their individual therapy stays exactly where it is: with you.
How Coordination Works
With a signed consent, you and the group’s facilitator may collaborate in both directions: group themes inform your sessions, your treatment direction informs the group’s holding of your client. The client sets the scope of the consent. Collaboration with you happens only with your client’s consent, if desired.
Screening Protects Your Client
Every group here begins with a screening conversation with the facilitator: fit, readiness, and safety, the same three checks every member gets. If a group is the wrong room for your client right now, the facilitator says so directly and warmly rather than seating a poor fit, and the client hears the reasoning. Some situations are better served outside a group, and we treat naming that as part of the service.

What The Community Is, and Is Not
This is an outpatient therapy practice with a group-centered model, not a substance use disorder treatment program, or any other kind of treatment program. Recovery groups here support recovery and do not replace treatment, and the same is true of every group.

How Your Client Gets Started
Your client contacts us directly
Tell your client about The Community and give them our website to look at for themselves. Your client then contacts us directly: they call the main line, 404-590-2993, or write to welcome@communityatlanta.com. We don’t take a client’s details from their therapist; the first contact always comes from the client.
Same-day response on weekdays (by phone or email)

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The group-only rate exists exactly for this arrangement: your client attends a group here at $25 per session and receives no individual services at The Community. Their individual therapy remains with you, and the group participation changes nothing about that clinical relationship. It only enhances your client’s self-awareness.
Only with your client’s consent, if desired. With a signed consent, you and the group’s facilitator may collaborate in both directions: group themes inform your sessions, your treatment direction informs the group’s holding of your client. The client sets the scope of the consent.
The warm exclusions are the same for every member: active psychosis, active thought disorders, or an inability to practice emotional containment mean a group is the wrong room, and we say so directly with a referral out. The Community is also not a substance use disorder treatment program; recovery groups support recovery, they do not replace treatment.
The group-only rate is $25 per session, including Anger Management. Building Better Relationships, our trauma and recovery intensive, is $50 per session for 12 sessions. The screening conversation covers those details before anyone commits to anything.
When your client calls or emails on a weekday, they get a same-day response (by phone or email); the screening conversation with the group’s facilitator gets scheduled from there. Fit, readiness, and safety are checked before any first session, and if the answer is not this group or not right now, your client will hear the reasoning.
