Practice Manager 

Child, Adolescent & Adult Hospital – Atlanta, GA


My name is Shannon Wilcoxson and I joined the Veritas team over three years ago. My primary function is as the Practice Manager for the Atlanta Outpatient Center, along with overseeing the Atlanta hospital’s front desk administrative staff. My second role is as the Therapeutic Assistant for our IOP patients, assisting the treatment team with various recovery techniques for our patients. Nurturing our youth has always been my passion, and helping families obtain mental health treatment, specifically with eating disorders, brings me happiness. Driven by empathy, I take pride in connecting and understanding those struggling with mental health issues. When I am not keeping busy studying while pursuing my master’s degree in clinical psychology, I can be found at any of Georgia’s beautiful parks, reading books and people-watching.

They do all they can for the residents and families as well – from nutrition education, to proven therapy, to compassion and strong and unwavering dedication to keep our kids safe in their battle with a misunderstood and deadly illness. While not everything was perfect, we learned the tools necessary for when we were able to leave Durham.

        “Our daughter was in Veritas’ program for seven months. She was in very poor health from her eating disorder when she arrived, and when she graduated from the program she was much healthier and more confident. She learned DBT skills and has come a long way in overcoming her eating disorder. The staff were kind and professional.”

        “My wife and I have been at war with our daughter’s ED for years. She was admitted to Veritas Charlotte’s PHP program. We weren’t fully on board and desperately wanted a program less disruptive to our daughter’s day-to-day. The admission staff communicated the urgency of her medical need and we reluctantly listened. Fast forward six weeks, and our daughter is a different person. She no longer stares vacantly at her plate, refusing to eat. She’s properly nourished and eats without prompting. The shine has returned to her eyes. It hasn’t been any easy road and we’ve had our setbacks. Thank you Veritas for helping us get our girl back! ”
