DIRECTOR, Meadows Outpatient services-Atlanta
An Atlanta native, Marie Woods earned a bachelor’s in psychology from Troy University, a master’s in marriage and family therapy from University of Southern Mississippi, and is currently pursuing a doctorate in marriage and family therapy with a specialization in systemic administration and business development at San Diego’s Northcentral University.
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Woods is also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist & Supervisor, Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist, Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner who is trained in Post Induction Therapy and Brainspotting. Her experience includes inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings treating both individuals and couples. Specific areas of specialization are sex addiction and trauma treatment, including relational and developmental trauma, betrayal trauma, and complex trauma.
Like many in this field, Woods’ own life experiences influenced her career path. She wanted to be a therapist for as long as she can remember, explaining that she always knew deep inside of her that there had to be better ways to help those struggling with addiction and mental health, and she wanted to help people experience that.
Woods first joined the MBH team in 2013 as a workshops facilitator at Rio Retreat Center then worked as a primary therapist at Gentle Path before going into private practice. In 2023 she was tapped to become director of The Meadows Outpatient Center-Atlanta, where her responsibilities include growing and developing the clinical team, providing direct support to clinicians, and tracking the program from implementation of curriculum to patient outcomes and staff engagement. Lastly, Woods’ role includes establishing and maintaining relationships with both referral sources and community partners.
Woods is married with a house full of pets including five Labrador Retrievers and one cat. In her downtime, she enjoys getting creative in her craft room, reading, playing piano, and doing hot yoga. She’s also a huge foodie and loves trying new restaurants in and outside of Atlanta.

Our Partial Hospitalization program (PHP)
A partial hospitalization level of care is ideal for those who require stabilization and a safe space before transitioning to an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Average length of stay in our PHP spans four weeks, with an option to extend if deemed clinically appropriate. Program hours are increased at this level of care to allow for a focus on regulation in preparation to step down to our IOP. While programming is tailored to the individual’s needs, those in the partial hospitalization program routinely have 1-2 individual sessions each week, weekly psychiatry sessions, weekly family recovery virtual sessions, and neurofeedback sessions as needed.
PHP Level of Care Includes:
- 4-week length of stay (with option to extend)
- Programming 5 days per week, 5-6 hours per day
- Focus on stabilization, safety, and regulation
- Case management
- Preparation for IOP level of care
