Therapy for Gen Z, Young Adults & the LGBTQIA+ Community
An affirming, identity-safe space for young adults and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions — where you can show up exactly as you are.
You're in the right place if…
You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to recognize yourself here.
What you're carrying might look like this
No formulas. No pushing you toward someone else's version of healed. Just honest, affirming work — at your pace.
Identity & LGBTQIA+ Experience
"I need a space where all of who I am is genuinely welcome."
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community herself, Ally creates a space that is affirming by default — not as an afterthought. Exploring identity, sexuality, gender, and belonging is welcome here.
Gen Z & Young Adult Life
"I'm figuring out who I am — and it's a lot."
Burnout, relationships, social pressure, the pressure to have it together — Ally understands the specific landscape of young adult life and meets you inside it, not above it.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
"My brain won't stop. I'm exhausted from just getting through the day."
We work with the anxiety underneath the overthinking — helping your nervous system find steadiness instead of just pushing through.
Trauma & Life Transitions
"I carry things from my past that still shape how I show up today."
Through a trauma-informed lens, we make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels safe — building real tools for the life you're actually living.
Teens & Children
"My child needs support — and I want to get this right."
Ally also works with younger clients using warm, developmentally appropriate approaches — including play-based techniques for children and collaborative work with teens.
What makes this different
No cookie-cutter approach. No generational gap. Just a space built for how you actually experience life.
Genuinely LGBTQIA+ affirming
This isn't a "we welcome everyone" disclaimer. Ally is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community — and brings that lived understanding into the room. You don't have to explain yourself here.
A Gen Z therapist who gets it
Social media, burnout culture, identity pressure, the weight of the current world — Ally understands these not just clinically, but personally. No generational translation needed.
Trauma-informed and adaptable
CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, play-based approaches — the method adapts to what you actually need. Sessions move at the speed that feels safe and sustainable.
What to expect
Some sessions will feel like turning a corner. Others will feel quieter, slower. Both matter.
Warm and nonjudgmental
You can be exactly where you are — no performance, no pressure. Ally's space is built for you to feel safe enough to show up as yourself.
Playful and engaging
Especially for kids and teens — sessions don't feel stiff or clinical. Healing can be curious, creative, and even a little fun.
Collaborative, not prescriptive
Ally works alongside you, not at you. Your experiences, your identity, and your story shape the work — she's your guide, not the expert on your life.
Grounded and supportive
Whether you need to process something heavy or build practical tools for daily life, sessions hold both — with care, steadiness, and real presence.
Serving Atlanta, Gwinnett & Virtual Across Georgia
Anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm don't look the same for everyone. For some, it's a racing mind that won't quiet down. For others, it's a low-grade numbness — going through the motions while feeling disconnected from their own life. For children and teens, it might show up as behavior, avoidance, or shutting down.
Ally works with clients ages 5 and up — children, teens, young adults, and adults — who are navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions. Her approach is trauma-informed, adaptable, and built around what each individual actually needs.
She offers in-person therapy in Decatur and Peachtree Corners, GA, and virtual sessions throughout the state of Georgia.

Ally Sachs, APC, NCC
Psychotherapist · She/Her · Kula Wellness Group
If you or a loved one are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, excessively anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself — you don't have to navigate it alone.
As a Gen Z therapist and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the complexities of identity, belonging, burnout, relationships, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where you can show up authentically, feel heard, and explore what meaningful growth and healing can look like for you.
In our work together, I will serve as a guide for you to make sense of your experiences and develop habits that are catered towards your needs. My approach blends trauma-informed care with a multimodal framework that is adaptable to your presenting concerns. My main goal is for you to walk away from our sessions together feeling more in tune with yourself.
As a therapist, I'm grounded, empathetic, witty, and curious. I work with clients of all backgrounds and am committed to providing services that are inclusive and empowering for all individuals.

Common questions
No question is too small. Here's what people often want to know before reaching out.
How much are sessions with Ally?
Ally's rate is $125 for 50-minute sessions, and $200 for the first 80-minute intake appointment.
What age groups does Ally work with?
Ally primarily works with teens, young adults, and adults. She also sees children ages 5 and up using developmentally appropriate approaches. Her focus is especially strong for Gen Z clients and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
How do I know if Ally is the right fit?
If you're looking for a warm, collaborative space where you can show up as you are — without pressure to perform or explain yourself perfectly — Ally is likely a good fit. A free consultation is the easiest way to find out.
What if I feel overwhelmed all the time?
That's exactly the kind of work Ally does. Whether it's anxiety, trauma, or just feeling stuck, sessions are designed to help you feel more in tune with yourself — at a pace that actually works for you.
Do you take insurance?
Kula Wellness Group is an out-of-network practice and does not work directly with insurance. We can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan, including your deductible and coverage. We also offer a limited number of reduced-fee and scholarship spots based on availability.
What is a superbill and how does it work?
A superbill is a detailed receipt for therapy services that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It includes session dates, fees, and a diagnosis — which insurance companies require to process claims. Because a diagnosis is required, we typically complete 4–8 sessions before issuing the first superbill to ensure clinical accuracy. After that, superbills are provided monthly. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan.
Do you offer reduced-fee or scholarship options?
Yes. Each therapist offers a limited number of reduced-fee or scholarship spots each quarter. Availability is limited and may vary. You can learn more and apply at kulawellnessgroup.com/scholarship-program.
What is the difference between in-person and virtual therapy?
The experience can feel slightly different, but the work is the same. Some people feel more grounded in a shared physical space, while others feel more at ease opening up from home. Both formats support meaningful, effective therapy — we'll help you find what works best for you.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your first session is an extended intake designed to help you feel comfortable and begin building a connection with your therapist. You'll review informed consent together, have time to ask questions, and your therapist will begin getting to know you — your history, current concerns, and goals. There's no pressure to share everything right away. Early sessions are focused on building trust, safety, and a foundation where you feel comfortable being open and honest.
How do I get started?
You can start by reaching out through our contact form or booking a free consultation. From there, we'll help guide you toward the right therapist based on your needs, preferences, and availability. If you already know who you'd like to work with, you can request them directly.
