Therapists for college students near 30303

I'm an OCD, phobia, and picking/pulling specialist. 90% of my caseload has OCD and about half also have a phobia or a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB). I have a lot of experience with taboo themes (P-OCD, Z-OCD, I-OCD) and people that have primarily mental compulsions. I'm open about having OCD and a BFRB myself. I know what it's like! I'm an LGBTQIA+, kink, and poly-affirming therapist that believes therapy should be available to everyone. I want people to know that therapists are not pinnacles of perfection; we have our own struggles and good therapists use those struggles to become better practitioners. If you're looking for a nonjudgemental therapist that shows her humanity and embraces it with some humor then I might be a good fit for you. I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I'm intensively trained in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD. I'm also trained in the ComB model for body-focused repetitive behaviors. I work exclusively online so I can see you no matter where in Georgia you happen to be.

I specialize in issues related to intergenerational trauma, self esteem, and identity exploration.

I have been counseling clients for over 25 years, helping people from all walks of life to overcome barriers to living a healthier and happier life. I have especially enjoyed working with college students who may struggle with increased levels of stress, anxiety or depression or have difficulty feeling comfortable and supported in this new environment.

Are you looking for a unique and personalized approach to therapy? I may be the right fit for you. While I am well versed in traditional approaches, I also specialize in animal assisted therapy, art therapy, and play therapy. These tools allow me to tailor my therapeutic approach to the individual and take an integrative approach to counseling. Everyone is different, and it is important that we find an approach that works best for you! Sharing your deepest and most personal hardships with someone is a huge investment of trust. I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment that allows my clients to work through their challenges. It may not always seem possible, but you can become a healthier, happier version of yourself.

At Modern Path, we utilize evidence and strength approaches with a focus on individualized care. Each of us has specialties that reflect the unique needs of gender, sexuality, and relationship structure minorities.

In my clinical work, I thoroughly enjoy getting to know clients and their families. The most important aspect is to provide a safe and comfortable environment so clients can form a trusting, open, honest relationship in order to facilitate change. On my end, that requires relatability as well as sincerity to meet the client where they are as well as embracing their individualized experiences. The overarching goal is to get each client to overcome personal obstacles, reach their full potential, strengthen or improve their relationship with family members, and learn appropriate skills to help them succeed in the everyday world. As all people have unique strengths and interests, treatment plans are individualized to ensure that they match the person's needs. Whether that is lessening the burden of anxious thoughts, learning how to get oneself out of a depressed mood state, teaching skills to help calm down when agitated, or discussing social interactions to feel more comfortable, each individual requires their own road map. I enjoy applying a person-centered, strength-based approach as well as weaving in cognitive-behavioral techniques. Counselling sessions are goal-driven; however, goals are developed in a cooperative manner, including the client, myself, and (when appropriate), other family members

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor providing telehealth counseling sessions in Georgia. I specialize in substance abuse, trauma, and postpartum/ pregnancy concerns- among other issues. Feel free to call or email me today for a free 15 minute introductory phone or video session, to see if we are a good fit for counseling!

I am passionate about providing a safe space for my clients to find internal and external peace by living and loving more authentically. If you want to foster more love for yourself, boost your self-esteem, confidence, authenticity, start here. We can alleviate depression, anxiety, uncertainty; and heal your pain and trauma. I believe everyone deserves empathy and support free of judgment. I particularly love working with people in or considering non-monogamous relationships and transgender or gender non-conforming youth. Office hours include evenings and weekends (Sunday). I particularly love helping people considering and exploring ethical non-monogamy (swinging, polyamory) navigate the choppy waters of uncharted territory in their relationship(s). Because I am so passionate about this work, I host a free (donations encouraged) polyamory support group for anyone in or considering polyamorous relationships. I'm passionate about helping transgender youth (13-25) and their families who are discovering their identity and individuality. I facilitate a free weekly support group for transgender or gender non-conforming youth (23 or younger).

I work with teens (13+) and young adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-worth, perfectionism, or the pressure to hold it all together. They may struggle with boundaries, burnout, or feeling like they're never “enough.” Deep down, they want to feel more confident, connected, and at ease—but they’re tired of doing it alone. They’re looking for support that feels real, not clinical. I offer a down-to-earth, solution-focused approach that blends CBT, experiential techniques, and often nature-based practices. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine connection, not a script. I help clients reconnect with their strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change—all at a pace that feels right for them.

One of my happy places is the beach. I am from the beautiful island of Jamaica and some of my most treasured memories and happiest times were spent at the beach. Living in Atlanta, I am not able to go to the beach as often as I would like, therefore, I bring the beach into my daily life through relaxation skills, music, décor, and my general mindset. As your therapist, my hope is that I can help you find your “happy place.” This may be a place, a person, a pet, an activity... anything that nourishes your mind, body and soul. I welcome the opportunity to help you learn how to develop solutions, feel empowered, and create a healthy lifestyle filled with joy, stability, self-acceptance, emotional well-being, and ultimately, happiness.

Welcome! Regardless of what you’re experiencing, you don’t have to do it alone. My ultimate hope for my clients is that they develop deeper, more rewarding relationships with themselves, God, and others. I love getting to be your partner in this process. CLINICAL FOCUS I am a disordered eating counselor who is passionate about helping individuals heal their relationship to food and their bodies. Having worked in higher levels of care in eating disorder recovery (IP, RES, PHP), I have extensive knowledge and experience in treating a range of eating difficulty presentations. I believe that many of us end up stuck in patterns that aren’t serving us like they used to. These patterns are often why people enter therapy. My clients typically hear me say that their behaviors make sense and have been incredibly useful at times to keep them safe, connected, and surviving. When these behaviors don’t serve us anymore, we need to learn something new. That’s where therapy comes in. I incorporate EMDR and talk therapy to help people move past disordered eating behaviors and rebuild broken trust with themselves and their bodies. When our body isn't the enemy anymore, we have the capacity for more depth, connection, and presence in our lives. This impacts everything. I also work with individuals facing challenging relationship dynamics, trauma and attachment wounds, anxiety and depression, shame and self-worth issues, and spiritual concerns. In addition, I am a Prepare/Enrich Certified Facilitator and enjoy working with pre-marital couples as they prepare for marriage. WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION My counseling style is warm and relational. I counsel from an attachment perspective, which means I prioritize building a secure relationship between us. We'll do hard work together, but you'll always have someone in the trenches with you. I conduct sessions virtually. This means we will meet from the comfort of your home (or lunch break if needed!). Being in an environment that is familiar to you can help create a sense of security. It can also eliminate barriers that make it difficult to attend therapy.

As a therapist, I treat a wide array of psychiatric diagnoses and I am a certified anxiety treatment professional and help hundreds of individuals cope with and manage anxiety, depression and ADHD on a daily basis. I am passionate about helping black women make sense of their experiences, reclaim their voices in complex dynamics, and build a life grounded in clarity, self-trust, and purpose. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you understand the “why” behind your patterns and offer tools to help you move forward with intention and confidence. I offer a therapeutic space that is warm, collaborative, solutions oriented and empowering. I use evidence-based practices—including trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness and Cognitive/Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I specialize in evaluating for clinical diagnoses, trauma processing, behavioral activation, life transitions, boundary and goal setting for black women.

I offer virtual visits to anyone living in the state of Georgia. Contact me for scheduling appointments or for a 10 minute initial consultation.
