Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

Hello, I’m Joanna, a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults, college students, and student-athletes navigate life’s challenges. College can be an exciting time, but balancing academic pressure, relationships, independence, finances, athletic responsibilities, and expectations for the future can also feel overwhelming. Whether you are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, co-dependency, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, or everyday stress, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I also provide therapy for athletes experiencing performance anxiety, difficulty balancing academics and athletics, burnout, injuries, identity concerns, low confidence, and stress related to competition or team expectations. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to strengthen your coping skills, confidence, emotional well-being, and overall performance. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your individual needs. I earned my degrees from Northern Kentucky University with honors, specializing in Trauma-Informed Care, and I am currently pursuing my doctorate to expand my clinical expertise. I incorporate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to ensure that treatment is personalized to your experiences and goals. You do not have to navigate college, athletics, or life’s challenges alone. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision, and I am here to support you throughout the process. Together, we can work toward helping you heal, grow, build resilience, and create a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

Most likely, you are searching due to questions about the world you are entering into, and what is your next step now that you are in college or nearing the end. My goal is to help you navigate your next step and, if necessary, assist in reducing your anxiety and depression that may or may not be correlated to your college experience.

Hi! I work with children, teens, adults, and families to help them meet their goals and improve their overall well-being. My approach is warm, creative, and client-centered—I tailor each session to fit your needs and comfort level. As a Registered Art Therapist and talk therapist, I believe in the healing power of creativity. Art can help you process complex emotions, build coping skills, and find hope and resilience.

I also use traditional talk therapy approaches.

Hi, I'm Shanakay. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents, teens, and adults across Georgia, Florida, Kansas, and Missouri. Life has a way of handing us more than we feel ready for, and when that happens, having someone in your corner can make all the difference. That is the role I hope to play. I especially enjoy walking with people through anxiety, depression, stress, and big life transitions. These challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, but they are often where the most meaningful growth happens. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, drawing on CBT and DBT to help you build practical skills that create real, lasting change in everyday life. Therapy, to me, is a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery, a chance to understand yourself more fully and create change that fits your values and goals. I hold onto a simple belief that guides my work: growth begins the moment you believe change is possible. I see clients through WellQor, which offers online therapy so we can connect from wherever you are most comfortable. To begin, visit the WellQor website and complete the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help schedule your first session. When I'm not with clients, you'll find me with family and friends, outdoors, and traveling whenever I can.

Hi! I am Kaye Davis and I am a Licensed professional counselor in the heart of the classic city of Athens, GA. I have years of experience working with those individuals who are attending school, graduating, or even staff members that struggle with mental health stress. I believe you all are the experts on your life, and I am here to just walk alongside of you as you navigate this thing we call life. I have years of experience as a Collegiate basketball coach and also former athlete myself at Berry College in Rome, GA. I have a different quirky style of therapy, but at the end of the day, my number one goal is to provide you the ability to talk and explore areas that are strengths but also while looking at growth opportunities. I would also encourage you to find YOUR fit for therapist. Not every therapist is the right fit initially. I believe thru open honest communication things can be worked out where we can find a therapist will work that will be a connection that is helpful and meaningful. How about you take the step for yourself and find relief.
