More about me

Licensing: PhD, LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: Georgia

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia focused on providing services to individuals and families. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, and a PhD. in Social Work: Policy, Planning and Administration and have over 10 years of experience providing clinical services to children, teens and families. The onset of my career began with helping children and families within a community mental health setting as well as those involved in the child welfare system. My clients have had a wide range of concerns including: Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I've also worked with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse.

I believe in a humanistic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach to therapy where the focus is on helping clients develop a strong sense of self within a non-judgmental therapeutic setting. I am a proponent in addressing factors that contribute to the healing of the spirit, mind and body.

I am happy that you have taken the first step in your healing process and I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Hankins is sneakily introspective, while being laid back she provides a space where you can spot your own issues and then gives you insights that are very needed and come from a place of understanding. You feel heard and understood without a judgemental lens.

My first review wasn’t positive. And I may have judged too soon. I needed to step back and realize I’m not her only patient so the speedy responses I wanted weren’t realistic. But the advice and help she has given me has been fantastic. I feel so heard and understood. So far she’s doing great for me.

R.E.·Jun 27, 2022

Overall

Dr. Hankins is the therapist you didn't know you needed. I sought grief counseling due to several recent losses. She helped me identify anxiety and triggers as well. She encourages self-reflection and acknowledges where you are in the moment and provides you with several tools that will help you in your journey to becoming who it is you are destined to become. I am a better version of myself than I was one month ago when it seemed like I was in a downward spiral. She helped me open my wings to regain balance and control. Thank you Doc! I am forever grateful.
