Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

We provide students and school personnel with the skills to manage or resolve anxiety on location in one of our convenient offices (Marietta or Woodstock) or virtually through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. Do you need help with your anxiety or time management? Are you looking for ways to overcome social or performance anxiety? Do you need better skills in conflict management for home, school, or work? Do you want a confidential, professional opinion on how you are handling school or work? Have you tried your own solutions and realized you need an objective solution centered viewpoint? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by coming to me. I specialize with proven methods, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), to help with anxiety. We also provide Marriage Counseling to couples having increased stress due to educational pressure. We can help you improve communication, connection, and conflict resolution through proven techniques. We recognize that your choice to attend therapy alone or with your spouse can be a challenge. It is our goal to work with you to recognize strengths and develop these assets to help you overcome whatever barriers may be hindering your progress. At Advent Counseling we listen, assess, and create a workable treatment plan to assist you in achieving your goals. Individual Counseling is focused on the individual’s immediate or near future concerns. It may encompass education, career, goal setting, planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with other problems before they become insurmountable. Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor and the client. The two form an alliance or professional relationship that enables trust and personal growth.

Or are you still dealing with the effects of your past relationship? I believe that you are the expert in your own life and and the modalities I use are geared in empowering you as the client. I utilize a strength base and a person centered approach to help you identify your strengths and empower you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience working in the field at various levels. I earned a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health with honors. I enjoy assisting others in achieving their personal goals and assisting them in functioning independently. I am a gregarious, outgoing, excellent communicator, and a caring individual with an empathetic ear. As your next therapist, I will utilize Cognitive Behavioral Interventions and Solution Focused Therapy. Incorporating a way to restructure your thinking, as well as assisting you in defining your life goal and developing a solution.

Are you feeling overwhelmed under the pressures of facing life transitions, hacking adulthood, success/failure, and your FUTURE, particularly in these stressful, uncertain times? Finding an older adult who really gets it, and opening up to a stranger can also be really stressful- I understand! I promise, I really get all that you may be struggling with and can help you learn to cope with it all better, feel less overwhelmed, and be more confident in your ability to not just be “okay,” but to thrive. I work with a lot of folks in their twenties, and always strive to have a relaxed, supportive, inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free safe space for all clients to help them to learn and determine more about Who they are and want to be, to like and value themselves, manage stress and life better, take on each day confidently, and just generally believe they really can figure it out and do it (whatever “it” is). Through a compassionate trauma-informed, strengths-based lens, I seek to help my clients become empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. I work with adults, including many zoomers and zillennials, from all various backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, faiths, and world-views. While I see that most issues are grounded in some depth of trauma, my focused areas include: anxiety, loss/grief, PTSD and C-PTSD, stress, burnout, perfectionism, Self-Image & Identity, adjustment, attachment wounds / developmental trauma, interpersonal/relationship issues (including w/ family), narcissistic abuse survival, and recovery & relapse prevention. (I also offer a faith-based orientation by client request.) My collaborative approach to therapy does involve talking about life’s issues, but I don’t just repeat things back to you or tell you to change a thought or behavior. I tend to also promote thinking about things from new, alternative perspectives and of yourself in a sense of various parts, to provide comfortable structure and accountability, help you identify and then to understand the real reasons WHY patterns have developed & happen, and to learn how to feel safe, grounded, and regulated within yourself - no matter where you are. I’d say I take a Whole-istic mind-body stance, and often use neuro-somatic techniques, including Brainspotting (BSP) and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reduce reactive feelings, as well as the integration of therapeutic psychedelics for deeper healing. Call, text, or email me whenever you’re ready, and let’s discuss your therapy needs and goals for being the best version of your Self! Lara Eddleman, MS, LPC, CCTP

I am a therapist with over 13 years of clinical experience. I hold the belief that we are constantly learning and evolving from our life events. We become stronger as we grow through these experiences and learn more about ourselves. Self-acceptance and self-awareness are key to being able to live freely. Our sessions will be a journey of self-discovery. I will be here to guide and support you during this process. Therapy is a safe space for you to be able to express and process your feelings. You will learn to identify triggers to negative feelings and behaviors as well as build coping skills. During the therapeutic process, you will experience clarity and growth. Prior to therapy most people desire to get back to their old self again, but therapy is actually about forward movement. We take experiences and learn from them. Wellness includes your mind, body, and soul. We do not function our best when one of these aspects is out of sync. Whether you need therapy, health coaching, or life coaching, I am here to guide and support you to meet your goals.
