Alan Behrman, Ph.D

Dr. Behrman earned his PhD from Auburn University in 2004 (but he bleeds Crimson and White). He began his career in Birmingham before moving to Marietta in 2007. In 2011, he opened Alan Behrman & Associates, PC. Since then, his practice has grown to roughly 20 therapists and a psychiatrist and 4 office (Marietta, Alpharetta, Duluth, and New Orleans, LA). Dr. Behrman has been able to connect and earn the respect of the East Cobb, North Fulton, Gwinnett, and New Orleans communities and is so proud of the trust that that the schools and school counselors, pediatricians, psychiatrists, OBGYNs, primary care doctors, cardiologists, urologists, other therapists, and especially current and previous clients have given him and his staff over the years. He works primarily with high school age through adults. He has seen pretty much every issue over his 20 years in practice, but especially enjoys working with anxiety (of all kinds), parenting, life transitions, life coaching, relationships and relationship issues, athletic performance, self-esteem, but never backs down from a challenge of any kind with regards to disorders or psychologist issues. Currently, he has become very interested in helping parents and teens work through the adolescent to adult transition period (16-29 year old age range). He generally uses a cognitive-behavioral approach with a huge helping a philosophy, neuro-linguistic programming, a deep understanding of cultural and societal issues, as well as a breadth and depth of knowledge about many areas of life to be able to help clients make the changes they want in their lives.

Dr. Behrman is married with 2 college age kids (student-athletes) and a son with a master’s degree from the University of Chicago. He also has 3 dogs. He played football at North Carolina State so he’s an avid Wolfpack fan.  He thoroughly enjoys college football and Braves baseball and is an avid athlete still (long after his college playing days are over). He generally exercises to stay in shape 5 days a week, runs obstacle courses races of many distances, and recently ran several half-marathons. He loves to read books to increase his knowledge for therapy purposes, but also reads biographies, alot of philosophy, and fiction for fun (he’s quite the nerd).

In addition to seeing clients in person at the Marietta office, he also has a license to offer virtual sessions to clients residing in almost every state in the country.
