Common questions
Can I meet with a therapist in person or online?
Yes to both. You can meet with your therapist in person in Atlanta or online through our HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
Do you take insurance?
We're a self-pay practice and don't work directly with insurance providers. If you have out-of-network benefits, your therapist can give you a receipt and Superbill to file with your insurer. Our policies and payments page has fees and the details on out-of-network benefits.
How long is a session, and what does it cost?
Sessions begin on the hour and last 50 minutes. Fees vary by therapist and type of session. You can find specific rates for each of our therapists on the Meet the Team page or their individual bio page.
How do I get started?
You can book a free 10–15 minute consultation call directly with the therapist you'd like to work with using the button on their bio page. This gives you an opportunity to meet them and ask any questions you may have before your first session.

welcome!
Hi! My name is Lauren Taylor, and I have been a practicing therapist since 1999. I founded Inner Balance Counseling with the belief that life’s challenges are opportunities for growth. At Inner Balance Counseling , we offer support and guidance using research based therapy methods. With warmth and authenticity, we help you move past feeling “stuck” and help you recognize your inner strengths and move into a more authentic and vibrant way of living.
Stepping into therapy takes courage, and if you are here, you are most likely ready for change. Sometimes two heads are better than one! We offer a welcoming atmosphere to find clarity, support, and growth. Our therapeutic process is collaborative; we will honor your journey with non-judgment, confidentiality, and respect.
You have likely found yourself here because something in your life is asking to be explored and shifted. You may be searching for a way to handle life stressors with more mastery, heal from past wounds, create stronger and more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others, or for help dealing with difficult life changes. Sometimes we need some support navigating the rough waters of life. When we are "in the thick of it" we must learn that we are not broken, and therapy is not about "fixing", but rather about developing self-awareness, inner kindness, and more emotional and behavioral options for responding to life's ups and downs. Painful emotions like depression, anxiety, and shame can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and hopeless. Therapy can help guide you in releasing your pain and finally start living life more fully!
