Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

It is said that we rise by lifting others. This rings true as it describes why most of us in the field do the work. We want you to rise and have the self-efficacy to lift yourself. I do not believe in a one-size-fit-all approach for my clients, as I work to find the best therapeutic support for each person. I have an open-door policy and encourage you to take the lead in your own healing and path forward. I include Person-centered, CBT, Expressive therapies, Trauma-informed techniques and Humanistic therapies to treat clients. I believe the therapuetic rapport is an essential building block to any counseling relationship. I work to ensure that you feel safe and willing to explore in every session.

Are you feeling anxious, wired, or overwhelmed? I help individuals find relief from anxiety, depression, loss, work or college stress, burnout, and past trauma. As someone with a multicultural background and being a second generation immigrant, I can understand the many layers of identity that influence our mental health. You can expect a compassionate and warm approach, allowing for self-exploration and growth. I use a blend of approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you manage stress, find balance, and cultivate healthier relationships. In our sessions, we will learn about regulating your nervous system, explore new perspectives through reframing, build self-compassion and uncover your innate strengths. Whether you're struggling with change, perfectionism, anxiety, or navigating relationships, my goal is to guide you toward emotional regulation, self-compassion, and fulfilling connections. I know that finding a good fit for a therapist can be tricky, and I’m here to make that process as easy as possible. I invite you to bring your authentic self to our sessions. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to be part of your mental health journey!

I offer in-person and telehealth services and specialize in anxiety, sexual trauma, grief/loss, and family relationships.

I am a trauma-informed clinician who incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic principles and person-centered therapy into my work with clients. I enjoy working with teens and adults. While I believe technique and theory are important components in healing and growing, I think that the relationship between myself and the people I work with is the most important part of therapy.

I provide therapy to young adults who are coping with the stressors of college. I routinely help people who are coping with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and impulse control problems. In addition to my general practice, I specialize in helping people who have a history of sexual abuse and/or sexual acting out. I also conduct psychological evaluations that can assist with understanding the root of the problem and can clarify a person's diagnosis, which can help with determining what type of treatment and/or medication may be needed. There are many other therapists in my group private practice that offer additional therapy services such as substance abuse treatment, trauma treatment (including EMDR), treatment for ADHD, treatment that addresses gender identity concerns, etc. The cost of therapy depends on which therapist you see (master's level versus doctoral level). In addition to the insurances listed below, I am also on Wellcare and CareSource.

Everyone deserves a space that is completely dedicated to them. As a therapist, my goal is to provide just that—a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can be your authentic self. I work with college students navigating a variety of topics, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, interpersonal/family conflict, self-esteem, transitions, and more. I approach therapy by considering how your environment has impacted you, meaning we will explore how your past and present circumstances have shaped your perspectives, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from numerous therapeutic techniques and theories, tailoring your treatment to fit the unique person that you are. College life can be both exciting and overwhelming, with unique challenges, social pressures, and identity exploration.

I support students and young adults who are trying to hold it together while life feels anything but stable. Whether you're dealing with anxiety from academic pressures, family stress, financial responsibilities, or sudden life changes, therapy can be a place to figure things out in a calm, nonjudgmental space. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I also hold space for students who are trying to keep everything together but feel like they're cracking under the pressure of family expectations, competing cultural identities, and the weight of meeting their own needs all at once. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to feel alone in your journey anymore or have it all figured out. We’ll move through things one step at a time, and little by little, build the tools you need to help you feel more grounded and in control.
