Therapists for college students near 30309

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a warm approach to direct, empowering, and holistic therapy to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. My therapy style is collaborative, humorous, and affirming as I believe you are the expert in your own life but I can be a supportive tool to help you in being who you want to be! Healing isn't one-size-fits-all, and therapy shouldn't be either. My work is based in trauma-informed care that honors where you've been, what you have experienced, and meets you exactly where you are. I believe your body holds wisdom that talk therapy alone can't always reach, which is why we integrate somatic approaches that help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

Hello and welcome! Life can feel like a lot sometimes. You might be feeling overwhelmed by academic pressure, anxiety or depression, questioning your path, navigating complicated relationships, or trying to hold it all together while everyone else seems to be thriving. College and student life can bring growth and independence, but also burnout, impostor syndrome, loneliness, and identity questions. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I specialize in working with students experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and family or relationship challenges. Many of the clients I work with are untangling complex family dynamics, healing from past experiences, or learning how to set boundaries while honoring their cultural or personal values. I also support neurodiverse clients, including those with ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and understand the stress that can come from masking or feeling misunderstood in academic spaces. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy, meaning we’ll look at both present patterns and deeper roots. Together, we’ll build insight, strengthen coping skills, and help you develop a more supportive and realistic inner voice. Therapy with me is collaborative — we’ll reflect, challenge patterns, and even laugh when it fits. I am committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care for diverse clients, including BIPOC, neurodiverse, and LGBTQ+ individuals. If you’re exploring identity, belonging, or navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind, that work is welcome here. I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are — warm, supportive, and real (not drive-thru mental health care). I am currently an Associate Professional Counselor (APC), working toward full licensure under the guidance of Lauren Vaughan-D'Angelo, LPC, CPCS. I provide virtual therapy for clients across Georgia, with evening and weekend availability. My standard rate is $125, and I accept select insurance plans as well as self-pay. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to help keep therapy accessible and within reach. If you’re wondering whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute phone “vibe check.”

Hi, I'm Sarah (she/her)! I'm a therapist, book lover, art appreciator, nerd, and someone who deeply appreciates connecting with friends and family over a delicious meal. I have experience counseling college students both at a college counseling center and working with students who are attending a PHP/IOP. I enjoy working with students who are managing OCD, anxiety, or depression, developing their identity, navigating life transitions, or trying to figure out how to cope with being a human in 2026. I have experience working with depression and that "stuck" feeling, perfectionism, procrastination, social anxiety, family expectations, and transitioning to college life. Juggling academics, a social life, work, and more can be hard- but there are many things we can do to help you feel more confident and at ease. I welcome, affirm, and support LGBTQ+ and ENM folks in my practice! If you are looking for support as your explore your identities and discover the values and beliefs you hold, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

I work with college students who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, panic symptoms, or difficulty focusing, especially during high-pressure academic or life transitions. Many of my clients feel mentally exhausted, easily triggered by stress, or frustrated by not being able to function the way they know they can. My approach is intentional, structured, and results-focused. I take time to understand your symptoms in detail and create a clear plan that may include medication management, practical strategies, and support with sleep, focus, and emotional regulation. I prioritize both immediate symptom relief and long-term stability, so you can feel more calm, clear, and in control of your daily life. You can expect straightforward communication, thoughtful care, and a provider who takes your concerns seriously. This may be a good fit if you’re ready for real support and a plan that actually helps you move forward.

Having a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and valued is essential. I warmly invite you into a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore who you are and what your needs are in order to heal and grow. I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and I use a collaborative approach to support you in exploring, understanding, and shaping your path forward. I work with clients in both an individual and relationship capacity, helping people deepen their understanding of themselves, their connections, and their emotional intimacy with others. My areas of specialization include chronic illness, LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergence, trauma-related dissociation, and complex trauma. As a queer, trans, and neurodiverse therapist, I know how difficult it can be to take this step. I am here to support you, exactly as you are, with care and understanding. If you're interested in seeing if we are a good fit, reach out via email or phone & we can chat about how I can support you.

Hi, I'm Timeka. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with more than sixteen years of experience in behavioral health. I work especially well with people navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions, and together we focus on practical tools you can actually use so you feel steadier and more confident. People have always felt comfortable opening up to me, and growing up in a family that fostered children showed me early how much support and understanding can change a life. What I love most is watching a client realize their own strength and reclaim their voice. That shift from feeling stuck to feeling capable never gets old for me. I believe therapy is a courageous act of self-investment. It is not about being broken, it is about being intentional with your own healing and growth. I cannot promise a specific outcome, but I can promise to show up with compassion, respect, and genuine care, and to give you a space where you feel heard and valued. I see clients through WellQor, which provides online therapy so you can meet with me from home or wherever you feel comfortable. To get started, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help schedule your first session. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I'm Danielle. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Counselor in Georgia, and I've been doing this work for about twenty years. Most of the people I see are stuck somewhere in a relationship. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight in different clothes. Maybe things with your family got complicated and you're not sure how to say what you actually mean. Maybe it's not a relationship at all, just a lot of weight you've been carrying on your own. I also work with anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, trauma, ADHD, and the kind of stress that stops feeling normal. You don't have to arrive with the right words or a plan. We'll slow things down, figure out what's really going on underneath, and work on it together. I'm not here to tell you how to live. I'm here to listen and help you get where you actually want to go, at a pace that works for you. I see clients online through WellQor, which provides therapy across Georgia. To get started, fill out the Get Started form on the WellQor website. A patient liaison will text you with next steps and help you find a session time, so you don't have to figure out scheduling on your own.

Offering Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy & Yoga Infused Psychotherapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking psychotherapy to mindfully navigate life's emotions. Sometimes our normal emotions like anxiety, anger, grief and sadness can feel overwhelming. As a clinical therapist my goal is to assist you in creating, or simply tweaking, skills to more mindfully navigate life and your emotions.

I believe real behavioral changes can be accomplished while developing insight about your belief systems and way of being in the world. I utilize a myriad of modalities to address trauma, crises of meaning and purpose, and difficulties with life transitions. I approach treatment with beliefs in Adlerian Psychology and Psychodamic Psychology. Students experience a unique time of their lives that can be fulfilling, intense, and even a little fun. However, there exist challenges during this period of time concerning identity and purpose. I can be instrumental in navigating these challenges to significantly improving the quality of your life. I am on several insurance panels. Please give me a call at 678-573-8000

You deserve a safe space where you have a voice and finally feel heard. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, emotional eating or trying to find your identity, a ton of emotions can come up that deserve to be validated and supported. Surprised to hear that? Don't be! I've learned so much from my own experiences and would love to guide you on your own journey! I have a passion for helping others take back control of their lives. We do so much every day that taking care of ourselves feels impossible!

There is a part of me that feels extremely anxious. There is a part of me that gets really sad and down at times. There is a part of part of me that can hardly get out of bed some days. There is a part of me that needs to take care of everyone and everything. There is a part of me that wants to check out and escape from all the responsibilities I have. There is a part of me that thinks about dying and a part of me that wants to live. There is a part of me that …. How many times have we all had these feelings or thoughts that come over us that seem conflicting at times but represent how we are feeling in the moment. Understanding our parts even those that are contradictory, being able to validate and accept our parts, and creating balance and space for our parts mentally can be attained through therapy. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is designed to allow us to heal from our pain, hurt, and fears by managing the parts that have been created out of our traumas. We have all experienced trauma in some form, and we all have parts that have been borne from those traumas. Parts that help us manage our daily lives and parts that may tend to disrupt our lives, but all of these parts are valid and serve some self-protective purpose and can be managed once they are understood.
