On-site Counseling
Licensed clinicians embedded in your building — individual, group, and crisis sessions for ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

Empower U Wellness Networks partners with Atlanta Public Schools, charter networks, and districts across metro Atlanta to deliver culturally-competent counseling, behavioral support, and educator development — right where students already are.
What we bring to your building
Pick the modules that fit your school. We staff, supervise, bill Medicaid and insurance where eligible, and report outcomes back to your leadership team.
Licensed clinicians embedded in your building — individual, group, and crisis sessions for ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
BCBA-led behavior plans, classroom interventions, and de-escalation coaching aligned with Georgia IEPs and 504 plans.
Applied Behavior Analysis delivered in-school by BCBAs and RBTs — skill acquisition, social communication, and data-driven progress monitoring for students on the autism spectrum.
Trauma-informed practice, restorative circles, and Nurtured Heart Approach — workshops scheduled around your PD calendar.
Bilingual (English / Spanish) parent groups on adolescent mental health, autism support, and navigating special education services in Georgia.
We bridge schools, families, DFCS, DBHDD, and community providers — one warm handoff instead of a referral pile.
As a Georgia Medicaid provider, we handle all claims and documentation so schools and families don't carry the administrative burden.

Our approach
Atlanta students don't fit into generic care models. We design every engagement around the building, the community, and the kid sitting across from us.
Our Atlanta clinicians reflect the students they serve — across language, neighborhood, and lived experience.
CBT, DBT-informed groups, ABA, and trauma-focused care — matched to each student's profile and school context.
We work with bell schedules, IEP timelines, and Georgia DOE compliance — not against them.
For school leaders
We staff principals, APs, and SST chairs with a turn-key behavioral health partner — credentialed, supervised, and reporting outcomes quarterly across Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, and Gwinnett counties.
