East Atlanta Counseling Services (EAC) is a private group mental health practice established in 2018, with offices in Oakhurst/Decatur, North Druid Hills, and Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The main office address is 317 West Hill Street, Decatur, GA 30030. The practice serves clients ages 4 and up, operates on a private-pay basis, and accepts no insurance.

The clinical team is led by Catherine Moon, LCSW, ACS, who founded the practice. Additional clinicians include Abbie Becker-McVay, LCSW; Austin Hunter, MA, LPC; Beth Keener Dent, MS, NCC; Chris Jones, PhD, LCSW; Davidson Mobley, LAPC; Elaine Goldstone, FNP, LMSW; Elizabeth Bowen, LPC; Houston Stowell, LCSW, MPA; Joy Cauley, LPC; Kathryn Paull, LAPC, LAMFT; Katie Bale, LMSW; Katie Herzer, LCSW; Lariscy Chapman, NCC; Laura Tapscott, LCSW; Megan Pollard, LAPC; Tesia Robinson, NCC, CCRN; and Dr. Meg Barnett. Clinical interns Lauren Bowling and Mark Reitz are also listed on staff.
Therapeutic modalities offered across the practice include EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, RO DBT, Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Imago Relationship Therapy. This range spans trauma-processing approaches, behavioral and acceptance-based frameworks, and relational modalities suited to couples work.
Services include individual, couples, family, and group therapy formats. Primary presenting concerns addressed include anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, and trauma. All sessions are conducted in-person only; no telehealth option is noted on the website.
RO DBT, or Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, is a distinct protocol from standard DBT designed for clients who tend toward over-control and rigidity rather than under-regulation. Its inclusion alongside standard DBT reflects the breadth of clinical frameworks available within the practice. Imago Relationship Therapy is a structured couples modality oriented toward understanding how early relational experiences shape current partnership dynamics.
The multidisciplinary staffing and three Atlanta-area locations give EAC capacity to serve clients across a range of ages, concerns, and geographic areas within the metro region.
