Tasha is an experienced Registered Nurse and is deeply committed to walking alongside clients as they navigate challenges related to eating disorders.
With a focus on holistic, validating, and collaborative treatment, Jefferson Psychiatrics aims to support patients in their journey toward mental wellness, working together to create personalized care plans that promote healing and growth.
We specialize in thoughtful, collaborative care designed for individuals committed to steady, step-by-step progress. Our patient-centered approach allows the time needed to understand each person’s unique circumstances, needs, and goals, prioritizing sustainable healing over quick fixes.
Our practice provides outpatient psychiatric care for individuals who are medically and psychiatrically stable enough to actively engage in their treatment. We focus on long-term mental health through evidence-based medication management, therapeutic support, and practical lifestyle guidance tailored to each patient.
If you are in an acute crisis, we encourage you to contact your primary care provider or local crisis services for the appropriate level of support.

We are proud to have a fantastic, collaborative team that cares deeply about the patients of Jefferson and beyond!

RN, Eating Disorder Coach
Tasha Aldentaler
Tasha was born and raised in Minnesota (hence the northern accent). In 2005, she became a Board-Certified RN and began working in hospital settings, including medical-surgical, emergency room, labor and delivery, and same-day surgery.
In 2015, she felt called to the field of eating disorders, and in 2018, she relocated to Georgia to help open a new eating disorder hospital. She has enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults across various levels of care, including acute hospitalization, residential treatment, and partial hospitalization programs (PHP). Tasha is passionate about working with individuals affected by eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, and OSFED. She believes that living a life free from an eating disorder is worth the fight and fosters hope that recovery is achievable. Tasha’s goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for clients and their families. Her passion lies in educating and empowering those battling eating disorders, as well as advocating for and spreading awareness about these conditions.
Outside of work, Tasha loves spending time with her husband, five daughters, and two dogs. In her free time, you’ll often find her hiking in the North Georgia mountains.
