About The Link Counseling Center
The Link Counseling Center provides outpatient psychotherapy services for clients of all ages in Atlanta, Georgia. Their counselors are here to help you work through any kind of stressful or difficult life event you’re facing, including a drug or alcohol addiction. All of their services are offered on a sliding fee scale.
Here, you’ll find individual, group, and family counseling sessions. Something special about this facility is that your sessions will be held on the beautiful Kendeda Campus. This is a peaceful place filled with open fields, gardens, and buildings dedicated to personal growth and healing. This location offers something for everyone, including a brightly colored play space for the youngest clients.
The entire campus feels safe, warm, and supportive. In addition to individual and family sessions, they also offer free grief therapy sessions every week. You can participate in counseling for as long as you need to, and they offer short, medium, or long term psychotherapy programs.
If you prefer to get involved with a group, there are many options based on specific needs and populations. Right now, they’re offering an LGBTQ+ support group, a group based on expressive art therapy, and a group for female survivors of childhood abuse.
A former client says she’s very thankful for this affordable therapy option and especially appreciates the sliding scale. Another says she’s grateful a place like this exists, and that she found a good fit with her therapist.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatment
Mental Health
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Couples Therapy
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Family Therapy
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
