Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

Struggling with anxiety, depression, peer pressure, relationship issues, trauma, and career challenges/uncertainty can be painful and overwhelming. I have worked with clients with such concerns for many years. Allow me the opportunity to help you discover the tools necessary to tackle these challenges. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe we all have the inner tools to heal ourselves. As such, my approach to trauma and anxiety is to assist you in using the latest therapeutic models such as cognitive behavioral therapy where you learn to adopt healthier habits respond to stressful situations positively, and make you feel healthier. I specialize in helping people to feel heard and understood as they deal with their trauma. I will tailor a treatment plan to meet your unique goals. I am extremely humbled to be working in a field where I can provide a safe and judgment-free space where people can work through their issues and discover a better version of themselves. Work with me!

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.

ONLINE ONLY! In my view, psychotherapy serves different purposes at different stages of one's life. For young adults, one of the key tasks at hand is to discover their potential, talents, weaknesses, fears, wants and needs, and to manage relationships at various levels of emotional intimacy. In this process, many of us need to clarify past issues and unresolved conflicts to move forward more freely. My practice is informal, relaxed and friendly, and most of my clients come from multicultural and multiracial backgrounds, and I treasure diversity. I am comfortable working in English, Portuguese and Spanish languages.

Together, we’ll strengthen coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and increase your sense of safety and confidence so you can manage symptoms more effectively and feel more in control.

Hi there, I’m Amanda and I'm so glad you're here, doing the brave thing seeking support when you need it! I work with college students who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, life transitions, and relationship or boundary challenges. I aim to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and safe to explore what brings you to therapy. I specialize working with folks who identify as female and nonbinary. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to tailor sessions to your unique needs. Together, we’ll develop practical coping skills, build self-compassion, and strengthen your confidence so you can navigate college life with greater balance and resilience.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can explore all parts of yourself, find your voice, and build a life that feels true to who you are. Whether you're navigating identity, life transitions, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, learning to prioritize your own needs, or the anxiety and depression that can come along with it all, I'm here to support you. I'll help you notice patterns, ask the questions that spark reflection, and create a space where we can be honest, curious, and probably laugh together too.

Hi! I’m currently accepting new clients and referrals for teens and adults (13+) who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, life stress… or just that constant feeling of “wow, this is a lot.” If you’ve ever asked yourself, “why am I like this?” while overthinking a text for 45 minutes, replaying conversations like a highlight reel, or ending up in the same situation with different people—yeah, you’re in the right place. And if childhood experiences are still popping up in your adult life like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave… that’s more common than you think. Therapy with me is a real, no-judgment space where we can unpack what’s going on, connect the dots, and actually start shifting patterns—not just analyzing them at 2 a.m. There’s room for honesty, growth, and some humor along the way (because sometimes your brain really does wake up and choose chaos for no reason). My style is laid-back, supportive, and direct. I take a person-centered approach, so we go at your pace—whether you’re thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between. Whether it’s overthinking, relationship stress, family dynamics, or trying to figure out who you are and what you want (no small task), we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. No pressure. No perfection. Just a space where you can show up as you are. Insurance & Payment Options • Self-pay • Blue Cross Blue Shield • Aetna • United Healthcare / Optum

My specialty is helping teen girls and women in the areas of anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, and eating disorders.

It is a great passion of mine to provide a safe, genuine, and welcoming space for my clients. I will meet you exactly where you are, so that you can grow and heal in the way that makes the most sense for you. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, so we will collaborate to determine which approaches and techniques are best for your needs.

I'm so glad you're here. If you are ready to start feeling better and take your power back, send me a message. It would be an honor to partner with you on your journey!

Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or returning after a break, it's my goal to meet you exactly where you are. My counseling services are designed to feel more like a conversation than a clinical session. At the heart of my work is a deep respect for your story, resilience, and your capacity for change. I promise to provide a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental space to make difficult topics feel more manageable. Let’s unpack what’s been weighing on you and take steps toward your next chapter. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Many of the students I work with are navigating intense pressure academically, socially, and internally. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty managing stress. You may also be carrying unresolved trauma or struggling with identity, grief, or emotional regulation. Therapy offers a structured, supportive space to explore what’s contributing to these patterns and begin building healthier ways of coping. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. We’ll focus on helping you better understand your thoughts and emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and create lasting change that supports your well-being. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Therapy can be the starting point for greater clarity, connection, and self-trust.

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!
