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.
Latest Reviews
I found the counseling very helpful and professional. I changed to a new counselor after my first visit and it has been a very good fit.
Very grateful for this accessible therapy via sliding scale. We are working with Jeff for couples therapy and very happy with the connection, empathy and support in our sessions.
I m sadly disappointed to read many of the reviews after the last 5/6 years particularly.I attended The Link many years ago as a 12-14 yo.My mother loved the outcome so much she ended up working there and when our family moved to Dallas Tx, she was heavily involved with a family counselling centre there.So I would have given 5 stars but based on reviews the last 5 years I had to reduce to 2. I can only say that makes me very sad.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
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).
Treatments
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.
Programs
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
Clinical Services
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.
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 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.
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.
