Positive Outcomes Psychological Services, P.C. started in 1998 in Bogart, Georgia, as a solo practitioner practice led by Dr. Harvey Gayer. Shortly thereafter, the practice moved to its current location behind the Georgia Square Mall in Athens, Ga. During that time period, a postdoctoral fellowship program has been developed and many postdoctoral fellows have joined the practice as independent contractors. The practice has housed licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers, as well as many school psychologists and interns as psychological assistants. Many of the front and back office staff have been with practice long term. Currently, Positive Outcomes provides infrastructure for all of the doctors and providers listed. Each of the practitioners here has their own specialties and the practice continues to have a strong foundation, yet is dynamic enough to evolve and meet the needs of the communities it serves.
