Therapists for college students near 30309
I work with individuals struggling with life transitions, relationship problems, anxiety and other painful emotions. I have over 10 years of experience treating adolescents and adults and everyone in between. Working with students and aspiring young professionals is a population I'm passionate about working with. I strive to empower clients through developing greater self-awareness, acceptance and motivation to accomplish their goals. Therapy is a powerful tool that anyone can benefit from when the courage and motivation is present and I believe should be accessible to all. I work with students and launching young adults on a sliding scale rate to prevent cost from being an automatic barrier to seeking support or trying counseling for the first time.
Welcome to Growth Tree Counseling! My name is Amanda L. Patterson. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, young adults, & families with their mental health needs. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Georgia State University in 2013 & went on to earn my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University in 2016. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults age 4-25. Are you a young adult going through a tough transitional period or facing challenges in your life right now? Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future? Are you finding it hard to manage relationships or make important decisions? Have you experienced traumatic events that continue to impact your daily life? Do you have trouble setting and achieving personal or academic/professional goals? Are you feeling disconnected or isolated from others? Would you like support in exploring your identity, values, or beliefs? Are you struggling to communicate effectively with your family or friends? Are you open to exploring new ways to improve your mental health and well-being?
The cycle of perfectionism and food struggles leaves us feeling invisible, anxious, unworthy, and like an outsider in our own lives.

As an intern, I provide low-cost therapy to help you access the care you need.

Living with thoughts that won't go away, feeling overwhelmed, and fear, shame and guilt have become the norm...struggling with body image and a cycle of yo-yo dieting that has gotten out of control. Memories just keep coming up again and again, and it seems impossible to shake the negative thoughts and stop repeating the same patterns. Why is life this hard? This constant struggle with paralyzing anxiety, fear of failure, and feeling not good enough makes every day seem like a mountain to climb. Alone. There’s no relief in sight and you wonder if it will ever get better, if happiness is even possible. Right now it’s just survival. That's where I come in. My specialty is helping you find hope and empowerment in the middle of the angst. In our work together, we’ll often use EMDR to lessen the negative impact of experiences and looping thoughts, so you can get unstuck and live the life you really want. I've been there, and I know that having someone to walk along side you and help you figure things out can make all the difference in the world. This is a particularly challenging time in life, with demands and expectations coming from every direction. I'll work with you to help you make sense of what you've experienced and begin to heal and even grow from the toughest times. Call now and let's talk, for a free, no-obligation phone consultation. 404-994-1034.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders (including generalized anxiety and specific phobias), grief and loss, chronic stress, PTSD, complex trauma, and race-based traumatic stress. I support clients through a wide range of life transitions and challenges, including relationship concerns, parenting stressors, and identity development issues. My clinical experience includes working with individuals affected by interpersonal violence, displacement, and profound loss. I practice from a trauma-informed, integrative framework and have extensive experience providing care within multidisciplinary and cross-cultural settings. I draw from a range of evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I strive to integrate mindfulness-based practices, spirituality, and emotion-focused techniques within a culturally responsive and trauma-informed framework. My therapeutic style is collaborative and flexible, with interventions thoughtfully tailored to each client’s cultural context, safety needs, and readiness for deeper processing. I am based out of Georgia and licensed to practice telepsychology in the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, DC, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.
The Tolleson Counseling Center is a private practice located in Marietta and focuses on helping clients with anxiety, stress management, trauma, perfectionism, self-esteem, and issues related to neurodiversity. Many clients who come to work with us identify as high-achieving teenage or adult women. They’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out and are often looking to learn different ways to manage the stress they experience from trying to balance their numerous responsibilities. We're particularly passionate about helping these clients challenge perfectionistic tendencies, set boundaries, learn healthy coping strategies, and increase self-awareness and confidence.
I love working with women, specifically in their 20s-40s. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, mom and stepmom who cares deeply about supporting women and their partners as they navigate challenges and seek to have fulfilling relationships. Many of the women I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and carrying more than they let on. They're juggling the load of all the roles they fill, tend to put others before themself, are feeling disconnected or hurt in a relationship, or have a hard time quieting the constant chatter in their minds. With a spirit of authenticity, transparency, and some humor, I help women and couples to feel seen and understood as we unpack current or past issues and create a new path forward.
You've worked so hard to get where you are. Hours and hours in the library, in the gym, in the practice studio. You care about excellence. But all that pressure you put on yourself, wanting to be perfect and for everyone to love you? It's wearing you out. Stress, anxiety, constant thoughts zooming through your head. I'm glad you're here, and I hope I can help. I've been helping people just like you for almost two decades. People who have been super successful but also super stressed, anxious and sad. I am committed to treating the whole you, which means that an important step to feeling better is to look at all the parts of your life (physical health, relationships, work, self-care) and how those parts of your life are affecting how you feel and how you act. When you feel well emotionally, physically, and socially; your quality of life can genuinely improve. I hope to work with any of you who feel "stuck" in your lives; who are struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, or body image. I have a particular specialization in working with athletes of all levels; professional, collegiate, and recreational. As a former collegiate volleyball and softball player, I understand that athletic performance incorporates so much more than physical training. I work with athletes who are struggling with anxiety, confidence, focus, or team dynamics. Additionally, I see athletes after they have experienced some major event in their athletic lives; such as acute and chronic injuries, pain, illness, or physical changes with aging. Athletes also struggle frequently with eating concerns and body image. Therapy is teamwork--we will develop a plan and goals that work for you to live your healthiest life!

Hello everyone! My name is Phyllis Williams. I am an Associate Professional Counselor licensed in the state of Georgia and New York. I am also the proud owner of Tuyee Holistic Services LLC. A little bit on my educational background. I obtained my Masters in Science degree from CUNY-Hunter College School of Education with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling, in addition to my Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology. A little bit on my theoretical approach. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy by applying a combination of therapeutic strategies to fit the individualized needs of my clients. I specialize in the use of, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Psychodynamic Theory with a Solution Focused & Person-Centered Approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, personality disorders, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, grief, trauma, post-natal trauma, relationship conflict & familial conflict, etc. I have experience providing individual counseling (child & adult), group counseling, couples therapy & family counseling in outpatient, inpatient & community based settings. I have worked in various fields of mental health namely applied behavioral analysis, developmental disabilities, OPWDD, DBHDD, case management, community intervention, crisis intervention, evidenced based practice & private practice. Healing does not have to look magical or pretty. Real healing is hard, exhausting and draining. The best part about being in therapy is that you do not have to do it alone. The work begins when you leave my office. With my support, I strive for my clients to independently utilize healthy coping skills learned in sessions to apply upon daily interaction with others & themselves. I aim to provide effective treatment to clients while exploring the underlying causes of each client’s mental health concerns. With a modern holistic approach to therapy over time, we can break the mental health stigma in our society.
I specialize in helping women overcome anxiety and depression so that they can enjoy life's milestones such as graduating college, first career job, marriage, and having children. When anxious or depressed, these milestones are met with extreme fear or feelings of just "meh". You wonder when things got this way, as you didn't always feel hopeless or have an extreme fear of being judged. Your family and friends have noticed this change as you do not hang out with them as much and seem to have lost your joy. You don't have to feel this way forever. Imagine being relaxed while in public, wanting to hang out with loved ones, and being excited about your future. I work with women in their 20's and 30's that are entering a new phase of their life (i.e. college, career, relationship) and experience anxiety and depression.
I specialize in working with students who have emotion regulation challenges, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, and Life-threatening behaviors. The treatment modalities I use are: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Lifespan Integration (LI)

College is a time of immense growth, but it can also feel like you're expected to have everything figured out. The pressure to choose the right major, land the right internship, and map out your entire future can feel suffocating. I know this firsthand - I changed careers a few times before finding my path in counseling. I understand what it's like to sit with the uncertainty of wondering whether you're on the right track and feeling like you're falling behind while everyone else seems to have it together. Whether you're adjusting to a new campus, navigating the independence of college life, or struggling with anxiety and depression, I provide a space to unpack those pressures and reconnect with what actually matters to you. I also enjoy working with student-athletes. Balancing the demands of academics and athletics comes with a unique set of pressures. When so much of your identity is tied to performance, it can be difficult to know who you are outside of your sport. There are a lot of challenges involved such as adjusting to a new team environment, managing the weight of expectations from coaches and peers, or facing burnout and the emotional toll of competition. Together, we can work to build resilience that extends beyond the field or court and help you develop a stronger sense of self that isn't solely defined by your achievements. In therapy, I offer a warm, collaborative approach where healing happens through genuine connection. I believe people suffer most when they are living out of alignment with their own values and desires rather than the expectations placed on them by society, family, coaches, or culture. Part of our work together is identifying those messages and exploring which ones are truly yours.

Hello; My name is Shane Blasko. I am a Licensed Psychologist. The style of therapy that I utilize is compassion-based interpersonal therapy, which is based on the idea that the relationship between a person and their therapist is extremely important. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy; it is an important relationship through which we can heal from past traumas, work through life transitions, learn to communicate more effectively, and learn to manage disruptive symptoms through learning more effective ways of coping, and understanding why we cope the way we do. I believe that it is important for therapists to try to understand the different contexts that each client is coming from; this means that I am dedicated to learning more about how each client experiences the world, and makes sense of it. I believe that each individual is unique, and that part of the job of the therapist is to try to understand how the client makes meaning of their experiences, and to assist the client with their goals.
