Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

I love working with motivated individuals who are striving to reduce anxiety, move past overwhelm, and bring balance back into their lives. School is filled with new experiences and transitions that can kick off or intensify anxiety and stress. It doesn't have to be that way. I can help you get to the root of what's bothering you and teach you tools to move forward with your life and goals. I specialize in working with adults and caregivers affected by cancer or chronic illness. I also work with adult adoptees curious about or pursuing search and reunion.

As no two individuals are the same, I tailor my work with each client to address the challenges unique to you. As Ward Foley has stated, "We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life. It is up to us to make it good or bad." I am glad that you found this platform and have taken the courageous first step of being here! When working with clients, I focus on their strengths and their ability to create lasting change for themselves. My approach to therapy is holistic, factoring the mind, body, and spirit into wellness to help empower you. I utilize CBT, mindfulness, and strengths based approaches and provide compassion, healing honesty, and support throughout our time together. I began my career working in both inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I completed my Master's in Social Work at the University of South Carolina. I have worked with a wide range of populations facing a wide range of issues for over seven years- from hospice to trauma, crisis and substance abuse counseling in an inpatient setting, to most recently in the past two years practicing individual counseling in a purely outpatient setting. I am skilled in crisis management and trauma focused CBT having worked in an inpatient mental health setting for three years. I am very comfortable working with anyone from 18 years and up, LGBTQ friendly. I specialize in emotional and physical regulation to help manage difficult situations, depression, anxiety, grief/loss/bereavement, prior trauma/ re-experiencing of traumatic events, geriatric focused counseling, life transitions, and general stress. I am ready to help you find ways to navigate through major life changes, depression, anxiety, isolation, relationship stress, addiction, prior trauma, and many other factors that may be keeping you from thriving. You don't have to be alone on this journey. I will help equip you with new tools that will service you for years to come into being your best self and help you find solutions you already have within you but haven't been able to access. Whether you are looking for long term therapy to sort out past hurts, or short term therapy to see your way out of a difficult situation, I look forward to supporting you to reach your goals. Let's work together to understand the root of your struggles and address issues with long-lasting strategies to help you work towards the life you have always wanted!

My practice is via telehealth. I treat individuals ages 18-78. I work with the client to reach goals they set.

The college/university experience is a unique transition point where many individuals face new challenges and often overwhelming situations.

You’ve spent so much time being who everyone needed you to be and have drifted away from who YOU need to be for YOU. On the outside everything looks fine… you’re the “strong” one, you’re handling “business”, and you show up for everyone.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming and out of control, and it can leave us feeling consumed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and hopelessness. While these emotions are an expected part of life, there are times they can grow so strong and intense that we feel powerless to manage them on our own. We may see their impact on various parts of our life – family, work, social relationships, our ability to feel pleasure, and our overall quality of life. If this resonates with you, if this is what you are experiencing, therapy can help. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped individuals face life’s challenges by assisting them in understanding their own emotional patterns and supporting them in making healthy choices. With time, effort, and the right tools, you can have a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way. Feeling uncertain and unsure where to start?

Greetings! Thanks for being curious enough to learn more about me and courageous enough to invest in yourself through counseling. My name is Dr. Zoe Johnson. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Ph.D. in education. My clinical and research expertise is specifically with, for, and on behalf of Black and Brown folks. It is an honor to bear witness to the triumphs and challenges of one’s lived experience. It is a privilege to reflect back to people the knowing, solutions, resilience, and joy that is ALREADY in them but blurred or buried by oppression, false narratives, and/or any number of messages meant to undermine our wellness, joy, and…liberation. I stand with folks as they journey through life -- the evolutions, changes, transitions, and also the routine, ordinary, mundane – supporting their well-being through accessible and personalized counseling services. I help high-achieving folks overcome perfectionism, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and anxiety so they can cultivate & sustain the healed and healthy life that they deserve & desire. I am Black affirming and Queer affirming. I support the full and beautiful spectrum of sexual, gender, and relational orientations. As a clinical social worker, I draw from a strengths-based perspective. I practice ethical principles based on social work’s core values of service, social justice, dignity and worth, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. I am pleased to provide an accessible, personalized, boutique counseling experience that supports your well-being. If anything that I’ve said here resonates with you and you feel we would make a good team, let’s get started! I’m confident that our work together can help you cultivate the beautiful life that you deserve. Peace, love, and abundant joy to you – Dr. Zoe Johnson
