We want to share an important update with our clients and community.

After careful consideration, our practice has made the difficult decision to discontinue participation with CareSource.

Like many behavioral health providers across Georgia, our practice has been significantly impacted by recent reimbursement reductions and payment clawbacks. These unexpected financial changes have made it increasingly difficult to sustainably provide the high-quality care our clients deserve while maintaining the resources needed to support our clinicians and staff.

This was not a decision we made lightly. We understand the effect this may have on individuals and families who rely on CareSource, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for those who are affected.

The attached article provides additional information about the broader issues impacting behavioral health providers throughout our state and the challenges many practices are facing.

If you are a current client with CareSource, our team will be reaching out to discuss your options and answer any questions you may have.

We are grateful for the trust our clients place in us and remain committed to providing compassionate, quality mental health care to our community. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Clawbacks and rate cuts have hit psychologists who diagnose children with autism and other conditions in Georgia, angering state lawmakers.

Please join us in honoring Dale Cox, a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist who has been a vital part of the Journey team for the past eight years. Her deep commitment to healing, connection, and growth has touched the lives of countless individuals, couples, and families in our community.

Dale brings empathy, wisdom, and authenticity to every session, helping clients navigate life's most challenging moments with grace and resilience. We are incredibly grateful for her continued presence and light she brings to work every day.

Get to know more about Dale in her own words below.

My journey at Journey began in January 2018. I believe every person has a story to share that is unique to them, whether they’re a child, teen, or adult. I want to assist each person who enters Journey through their story with emotional and mental healing as an individual, a couple, or a family. My goal is to create a safe and secure space with no judgment, a place where it is safe to share their story through talk therapy and best practice and evidenced based treatment by learning and implementing coping skills, strategies, and interventions. My time at Journey has helped me grow as a therapist, working with a great team of psychologists, counselors/therapists, and administrative assistants.

Since 2015, Mandy has been an integral part of the Journey team, dedicating a decade of her life to empowering others and fostering profound change. Her empathetic approach and deep understanding have made a significant difference in the lives of so many of our clients. It is truly an honor to have her with us.

We asked Mandy to share a little about her JOURNEY and passion. Read her bio below.

I graduated from Valdosta State University with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology in 2010. I have experience working with high risk children in an intensive family intervention program as well as within the foster care system in collaboration with case workers and families. I enjoy helping clients in identifying personal goals and working through change in their own way, all while understanding that change and healing is a process that can be achieved through support and collaboration.
