About

Are current difficulties feeling overwhelming? Dr. Chanda Pilgrim helps people step back and view problems from a different angle - a small shift in perspective often brings measurable relief.

Dr. Pilgrim is a Georgia-based psychologist with 26 years of experience working in schools, private agencies, and a community mental health agency. She has supported individuals and families facing a wide range of concerns, from relationship challenges to serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia. She practices as a holistic counselor, exploring not only emotional triggers but also how diet, exercise, and sleep interact with mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Many clients report that she feels like an old friend or family member, and that connection matters in discussing difficult, private topics. Her work is cognitively based - she emphasizes how thoughts shape feelings and how the meanings we assign to events can produce worry, sadness, or trauma. In therapy she reviews personal history, assigns reflective homework to deepen insight between sessions, and discusses practical supports such as lifestyle changes.

She may use guided meditations aimed at adjusting automatic, unwanted reactions to life events. As a licensed psychologist in Georgia, registered with the state under PSY003471, her goal is that clients leave therapy feeling better and more capable of managing life’s challenges. She thanks visitors for their trust in considering her services.
