Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

You've read the text four times before sending it, and now you're reading it again in the sent folder, hunting for the word that came out wrong. Did it sound needy? Too cold? You apologized twice for something that wasn't your fault, agreed to a plan you didn't really want, and smiled while your chest went tight because you want to please everyone. At night, your mind keeps score of all those you think you let down. You rehearse who to be for each person in your life, then wonder why you can't remember who you really are underneath. And that compliment from earlier? You've already talked yourself out of believing it. So much of your energy goes into being who everyone needs. I work in a person-centered, strengths-based way, starting from what's already strong in you rather than what you think is wrong. Together, we'll build steadier confidence, quiet the anxious second-guessing, and practice saying what's true for you. This unfolds gently, on the timeline that's yours. Over time, you'll open the sent folder and let the message stand, because you already trust what you meant. You'll say no without a week of guilt and recognize the person looking back at you. Therapy can help you understand yourself, build confidence, and grow patterns that feel more like your own. Reach out today for a free consultation. Come as you are. I am an Associate Licensed Professional Counselor (APC010460) practicing under the clinical supervision of Tara Towler-Cumby (LPC005795)

I work best with clients who want therapy to feel both meaningful and human. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, sex and sexuality, and life transitions. My style is collaborative, trauma-informed, and flexible. I pull from multiple different therapy modalities depending on what fits you best. We’ll pay attention to what’s happening in your body, your relationships, and your inner world. I show up with warmth, honesty, and curiosity. I believe that healing happens when people feel safe to be all of themselves: messy, soft, over the top, and everything in between. As a queer therapist, I know how powerful it is to sit across from someone who just gets it. I’m passionate about body liberation, LGBTQ+ rights, and mental health care that doesn’t pathologize people for having feelings. I believe in justice, in community care, and in showing up authentically with the people I serve. I’ve walked through my own healing journey, and that makes me deeply committed to walking beside others in theirs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual and couples therapy. Creating a safe space for clients to explore the challenges and beauty of relationships is the utmost goal in my practice. The focus of my work is providing psychotherapy with adults and couples. I use an individualized approach with clients and tailor interventions to suit their personal goals. I incorporate strategies from the following treatment modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND TREATMENT SPECIALIZATIONS: Life transitions and experiences (school stress, transitioning to college, roommate conflict, etc.) Relationship Conflict Anxiety and Depression Substance Use and relationships impacted by substance use Grief/Loss Trauma

I believe every one of us is a good person at heart, we are all trying our best and laziness is a myth. You may have a hard time believing that about yourself. You may have been taught (by families or systems) that you are bad, lazy or selfish. You are scared to make decisions or trust your intuition. You want to love yourself the way you love others! I offer a radically different perspective. I think it is possible to love yourself a little bit at a time, take things less personally and create more space in your life for peace.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Whether you're navigating a painful divorce, struggling in your relationship, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or trying to rediscover yourself during a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. I believe healing happens in relationships where people feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a calm, compassionate space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin creating meaningful change. I work with older teenagers (ages 16+), adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we'll process the emotions that come with transitions while helping you rebuild confidence, establish healthy boundaries, strengthen your sense of self, and create a future that feels hopeful and authentic. No matter where you are in your journey, therapy is a place where you don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Areas of Focus Anxiety counseling Stress management Divorce recovery and support for women Relationship issues Couples counseling Marriage counseling Communication challenges Life transitions Women's issues Self-esteem and confidence Emotional regulation Codependency and relationship patterns Young adults Older teens (16+) Personal growth Nervous system regulation Family conflict Therapeutic Approach Every person has a unique story, which is why I believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. I integrate evidence-based approaches including: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Narrative Therapy I also incorporate mindfulness, breathwork, grounding exercises, and nervous system regulation techniques to help clients feel more connected to both their minds and bodies. As a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance, I value the powerful connection between emotional wellness and physical well-being, helping clients develop practical tools they can use outside of therapy. Who I Work With I enjoy helping clients who are: Women adjusting to divorce or separation Individuals experiencing anxiety or chronic stress Couples wanting to strengthen their relationship Adults navigating major life transitions Young adults finding their direction Older teens (16+) facing anxiety, identity, school stress, or relationship challenges Individuals wanting healthier relationships and stronger boundaries People seeking greater emotional balance and personal growth Education & Experience I earned my Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Mercer University School of Medicine and bring more than 20 years of experience as an educator. My background has given me a deep appreciation for how people learn, grow, adapt, and build resilience throughout every stage of life. What It's Like to Work Together Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and calming. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative partnership where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether we're working through anxiety, healing after divorce, improving your relationship, or navigating a significant life change, I'll meet you with compassion while gently helping you move toward lasting growth. Together, we'll identify patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your emotional resilience, and build practical tools that help you feel more connected, confident, and hopeful.

The Brannen Center started with the goal of helping people to targeted work to quickly resolve symptoms. We are trauma experts, and we work with a variety of other issues like depression, anxiety, nuerodiversity, OCD, dissociative disorders, psychosis, life transitions, grief, stress, etc. We use a combination of deep listening, EMDR, parts work, and other somatic modalities to help our clients achieve profound and lasting change.

Young adulthood is tough, and I love helping my clients learn how to balance the stress of college with the rest of their life. I have worked with many young adults who struggle with perfectionism or burnout. For specific treatment concerns, I specialize in working with young adults struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, ADHD/AuDHD, BFRBs (skin picking/hair pulling), and insomnia/sleep optimization. I can help if you're curious if you have a specific diagnosis and want to learn more, or if you're looking to understand yourself better and feel like you have the tools you need to handle whatever life throws your way. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and experienced in working with these clients. My office is about 5 min from the KSU campus in Kennesaw, and I see clients virtually as well.

Proud KSU alum! I'd love to work with you to meet your goals. Check out my website and request your appointment today

As you prepare to address problem areas in your life, finding the right person to work with to help and support you as you move forward toward your goals, is the first step. My therapy practice focuses primarily on children, families and young adults. I believe that better communication and understanding can be key in building better relationships. Typical sessions involve the basics of support, and building on the existing strengths of a person as well as developing better techniques in managing difficult emotional problems. Psychoeducation, which involves helping to understand the mental health symptoms that are being presented and learning how to manage them, as well as skills to build deficits with anger control, social interactions and stress relief, are also taught. Working together on ways to decrease difficult symptoms, such as clients providing better self care skills, building strong coping skills and having improved perspectives is essential to a healthier well being. My role as your therapist is that through the supportive and close therapeutic relationship, you will gain insight and motivation to work toward change. I am currently licensed in NC, GA and am a Certified Telehealth Practitioner in Florida. I am only able to see clients virtually in FL and NC.

Hi! I’m Samantha Heuwagen, a sex, marriage & family therapist, best-selling author, and activist. When I’m not working with clients, I promote and engage in the discussion surrounding mental health and healthy relationships through social media, lectures, workshops, and writing. Featured on The Huffington Post, NBC News, Bustle, DatingNews.com, and more, my goal is to spread awareness by challenging the popular discourse concerning mental health, healthy relationships, and sex.

Hi! I am Dr. Angela Londoño-McConnell, a licensed psychologist specializing in college mental health. I provide a holistic, integrative, and personalized approach to support students on their path to well-being. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by today’s college students, I offer a safe and welcoming environment where you can openly explore your concerns and develop effective coping strategies. Whether you’re dealing with academic stress, interpersonal concerns, or other mental health challenges, I work collaboratively with you to address your specific needs and goals. With a foundation in evidence-based practices and extensive experience, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, constructivism, and solution-focused therapy. My aim is to empower you to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and thrive both academically and personally. If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, academic pressure, or simply need support during a transitional phase, I am here to assist you. Together, we will navigate the complexities of college life and work towards your self-discovery, healing, and growth.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your journey. My name is Allia (she/her), and for my clients, I provide a safe and healing place to grow. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a therapist and advocate for child and adult survivors of abuse and sexual assault. And through this work, I have honed my skills in helping people through trauma, transitions, self-worth issues, and identity. I work with a wide range of clients and survivors and particularly gravitate towards individuals within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities and young adults. Each person is different and thus, each treatment plan is individualized to meet that person’s needs. And in working together, I will follow your lead and meet you where you are. I look forward to working together!

Hardworking, ambitious, fucking exhausted. I work with women (18–30) who look like they have it together but are absolutely depleting themselves to stay that way. They’re responsible, creative, used to handling a lot…but they’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling like no matter how hard they work, it’s never enough. Some have anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma histories. Others just know something feels off, that life feels heavier than it should. Often, they’re great at coping on the outside, which can make it hard to admit they’re struggling at all. But let’s be honest: Appearing “fine” is a full-time job. In therapy, we slow things down on purpose. We look at the patterns you’ve been stuck in — people-pleasing, avoidance, self-criticism — and figure out what’s actually driving them. We work with your nervous system instead of fighting against it. We build practical tools that help you move forward in your life. My style is warm, direct, & honest. I care deeply about my clients and will absolutely challenge you when it matters. I use EMDR, ACT, & DBT skills in ways that are personal and actually useful.

I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Emotions can be intense, and it’s not always easy to navigate the challenges they bring. I’m here to help you find balance, build resilience, and take control of your emotional well-being. I hope to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe that healing and growth begins with understanding, acceptance, and self-compassion. I provide services for adolescents and adults, and primarily see clients for anxiety, depression, personality disorders, grief and loss, trauma, family and relationship issues, and major life transitions. Whether you are trying out therapy for the first time, seeking to find a better therapy fit, or simply wanting to return to therapy work, don’t wait to start your journey towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I’m Ja’Sharee Bush (she/her), a therapist who provides a warm, supportive space for teens, adults, and couples seeking greater emotional clarity, confidence, and healthier relationships. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm, helping them build insight and practical skills for lasting change. My approach to therapy is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert of your own life. I meet you where you are and collaborate with you to better understand your experiences, strengthen coping skills, and move toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy with me is a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment or pressure. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Play Therapy, and Couples Therapy to support emotional growth, communication, and healing. My work focuses on helping clients develop emotional awareness, improve relationships, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. My style is engaging, down-to-earth, and compassionate. Whether you’re feeling confused, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted, we’ll work together to reconnect you with your strengths, restore balance, and create meaningful change. If you’re looking for therapy for teens, adults, or couples in Georgia, including online therapy, I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey.
