Tom Freeman, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been practicing in Newnan since 1991. I enjoy working with children, adults, and couples. My philosophy is to help people challenge their fears and move beyond their obstacles. I have a special concern for children and families experiencing a divorce. A significant part of my practice has been helping families deal with this transition. I help divorcing parents develop a parenting plan that addresses the needs of each family member. I also conduct psychological evaluations for bariatric surgery. I earned my clinical psychology degree from Argosy University in 1995. I earned a Certificate in Christian Counseling from the Psychological Studies Institute in 1991 where I learned to integrate psychology and Christianity. As a University of Georgia graduate, I am a big Georgia Bulldog fan.
