Appleton, Tricia MD

As a board-certified psychiatrist with over 25 years of private practice experience, I specialize in evidence-based alternative therapies for adult mental health. My practice integrates somatic experiencing, Brainspotting, and EMDR techniques to address trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. With academic training from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Emory University, I combine psychodynamic principles with developmental approaches to facilitate emotional healing. My eclectic methodology focuses on accessing inner wisdom through personalized therapeutic relationships, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Recognized as a top psychiatrist by Atlanta Magazine since 2010, I maintain clinical affiliations with Emory University and prior hospital consultancies. My practice philosophy centers on creating safe spaces for self-exploration while utilizing cutting-edge trauma resolution techniques. I remain committed to advancing consciousness in therapeutic relationships through continuous professional development and specialized trauma training.
