Rachel Barry, LCSW —Professional Background and Credentials

Education and Clinical Internships

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Georgia. I earned both my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Social Work from Kennesaw State University. While completing my education, I gained early clinical experience through internships at Must Ministries’ Supportive Housing Program and Talbott Recovery Campus. These opportunities deepened my understanding of both community-based support and addiction recovery.

Hospital and Treatment Center Work

In 2014, I began my career as a therapist in hospitals and treatment centers and worked at several Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) across the metro-Atlanta area. My clinical experience includes roles at Ridgeview Institute, Alana Recovery, and Caron Treatment Centers, where I specialized in supporting young adults facing a wide range of mental health and addiction challenges. These early experiences shaped my holistic, compassionate approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, emotional resilience, and lasting growth.

Private Therapy Practice

Since 2017, I have had the great pleasure of serving clients in private practice. From my office in downtown Marietta, Georgia, I offer in-person therapy to individuals from across the metro-Atlanta area, including Kennesaw, East Cobb, Roswell, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Woodstock, and the city of Atlanta. I am also available for virtual therapy sessions to individuals located anywhere within the state of Georgia, providing flexible and accessible support for those who prefer or need teletherapy.

In my spare time, I enjoy doing creative projects with my husband and two young daughters. I also love reading, listening to podcasts, practicing yoga, and spending time outdoors whenever I can (while admittedly chasing my kids around with sunscreen).

I feel grateful every day to walk alongside clients as they navigate their own journeys of healing and growth.
