To Improve the Quality of Life, Reduce Symptoms and Suffering, Resolve Life Problems, and Help Empower Individuals

Applied Psychological Health is the psychology practice of Richard Born, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist, located in Athens, GA.  Dr. Born’s approach to treatment can be described as eclectic, with every patient having unique needs, assets, situations, and challenges.  He frequently incorporates such approaches as cognitive therapy, relaxation training, and behavioral – coping skills training into his treatment.  He also commonly uses biofeedback treatment or training when appropriate.  All this being said, Dr. Born also places great emphasis upon building rapport with patients and helping the patient identify and express feelings develop insight, and make appropriate plans for change.
