Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

Through WellQor, I provide online therapy for college students and young adults, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. My work focuses on helping people better understand themselves and the relationships that shape their lives. Together, we can explore patterns that may be contributing to conflict, self-doubt, communication challenges, or feelings of being stuck. The students who tend to connect best with me are often thoughtful, caring people who spend a lot of time focusing on others. They may be trying to meet family expectations, maintain friendships, succeed academically, or keep everyone around them happy while quietly struggling themselves. Over time, this can lead to feeling disconnected from who they are, what they need, and what they want for their future. I believe that growth often begins with understanding. When we gain insight into our relationships, our experiences, and the roles we've learned to play, it becomes easier to make intentional choices and create healthier connections. Whether you're navigating family dynamics, relationship stress, low self-esteem, or a major life transition, therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself and build the kind of life and relationships that feel meaningful to you.

Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in. I offer a welcoming, judgment-free space for you to bring all of who you are to the table! Together, we will discuss your struggles and strengths, and come up with new and effective ways to cope with the stressors you may be facing. I aim to be culturally competent and sensitive, and strive to offer a safe space for individuals of all backgrounds. Counseling offers a space for you to be your most honest self without fear of judgment. If you are ready to make a change in your life for the better, or if you are just curious about what counseling is like, please reach out to me to schedule an appointment or brief consultation. I look forward to hearing from you; be well!

My clinical practice is grounded in an emotion-focused framework that emphasizes collaboration, autonomy, empathy, relationship-building, and cultural humility. I view the therapeutic relationship as dynamic and relational. We grow and change together in the process. Authenticity is central to my work. I approach therapy as a whole person. I carry my identities, personality, and lived experiences with me. I believe that, when I show up fully, it creates space for you to do the same. My goal is to offer you an emotionally safe environment where you can show up with all parts of yourself - your identities, feelings, stories, strengths, and struggles - without fear of judgment. I want you to feel deeply seen, heard, and valued for the whole person that you are. My approach is trauma-centered and am queer, CNM, and polyamory affirming. I am a World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) certified provider.

Hi, I’m Aaliya. I work with college students who are navigating the many transitions that come with this season of life, whether that means adjusting to campus life, figuring out who you are, managing academic pressure, or trying to balance relationships, family expectations, and your own needs. The students I connect with best are often those who are thoughtful, driven, and trying their best, but may feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. You might be the person who looks like you have it together while quietly struggling behind the scenes. You may be learning how to set boundaries, build confidence, understand yourself better, or make sense of experiences that have shaped you. In therapy, we will create a space where you can show up as your full self without judgment. Together, we can explore what is weighing on you, identify what you need, and build tools to help you navigate college and life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust. If you are looking for a therapist who will listen, collaborate with you, and support you through this chapter, I would love to connect.

I work with college students who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, panic symptoms, or difficulty focusing, especially during high-pressure academic or life transitions. Many of my clients feel mentally exhausted, easily triggered by stress, or frustrated by not being able to function the way they know they can. My approach is intentional, structured, and results-focused. I take time to understand your symptoms in detail and create a clear plan that may include medication management, practical strategies, and support with sleep, focus, and emotional regulation. I prioritize both immediate symptom relief and long-term stability, so you can feel more calm, clear, and in control of your daily life. You can expect straightforward communication, thoughtful care, and a provider who takes your concerns seriously. This may be a good fit if you’re ready for real support and a plan that actually helps you move forward.

College is often one of the most exciting and overwhelming times of life Many of the students I work with are navigating major transitions while trying to keep up with classes, relationships, work, family expectations, and the pressure to have it all figured out. Sometimes the challenges are obvious: Academic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, breakups, family conflict, grief, or adjusting to college life. Sometimes they're more personal: Questioning your identity, sexuality, faith, values, or future career path. Feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure of who you're becoming. Managing ADHD, autism, perfectionism, burnout, or people-pleasing. Trying to balance independence while still navigating family expectations. Feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to perform, achieve, and keep going. And sometimes it's simply realizing that the strategies that helped you get this far aren't working anymore. I believe you don't need fixing to deserve support. I think of myself as a life midwife: steady, grounded, and honest while something new is trying to emerge. My role isn't to tell you who to be or how to live your life. It's to help you make sense of where you are, reconnect with your strengths, and navigate the uncertainty that often comes with growth and change. If any of this resonates with you, you may be in a season of becoming. And you don't have to move through it alone.

Hi, I'm Hadiya, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation, one where you can show up as you are without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. I work with folx 18+ navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and insight-driven, helping clients understand patterns, build practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're adjusting to college, managing stress, or feeling stuck, my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, challenged, and supported. Sometimes the first step forward is simply starting the conversation.

In my 20 plus years of experience, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families in a variety of settings. I strive to provide a place of acceptance in which clients can explore the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the goal of changing negative thought patterns to facilitate lasting change. My approach to therapy is to focus on the inherent strengths and worth of each individual while fostering a therapeutic relationship of respect and collaboration. Truthfully, I learn so much from my clients in this process. My personality and style are both positive and warm. My hope is that I convey to my clients the authentic joy that I find in my work.

I offer what I like to think of as a traditional talk therapy, where one is encouraged to talk about whatever you want for as long as you want. My experience is that many people find this process grounding, and there’s enormous evidence for the effectiveness of counseling generally. It seems like one gets the sense of what is happening and what to do about it. Even when things are going well, there’s appreciation. Insight is also a natural result of doing this. I get to understand who I’m talking with better the more I listen, and one usually gets a better sense of themselves the more they they hear themselves talk.

Hello, my name is Mallory Warner. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University. I am an APC Mental Health Counselor in the state of Georgia. I have a passion for working with many populations including trauma, addiction, anxiety, OCD, substance use recovery, as well as with people who simply want to become the best version of themselves. I know in my heart that we all hold the key to our happiness. We just need to take the time to devote to ourselves in order to unpack the stories we tell ourselves that may no longer serve us. I hope to speak to you soon!

Hello! My name is Tiffany Jones (she/her), and I would like to thank you for your interest in learning more about my therapy practice. I am a holistic psychotherapist that operates, first and foremost, from the recognition that the perfect life doesn’t exist. We are all a little “messy”, unorganized, and sometimes required to do things that are not “ideal” to keep life moving forward. This understanding informs my eclectic approach of primarily existential, experiential, and person-centered methodologies. I treat each client as an individual with their own unique set of circumstances, while considering the context of the external world. Utilizing a mind, body, spirit approach, I invite you to a space to explore yourself in every way – identifying qualities that you love, like, and maybe are not too fond of. I am also trained in ketamine-assisted therapy, and this service can be offered to clients who may benefit from its deeply explorative effects. In addition to this exploration, you are given the opportunity to question where these beliefs come from. With a newfound understanding of self, you are then given the tools to practice empathy, self-love, stress management, and self-empowerment. With these tools, I strive to collaborate with each client to develop their own, specially tailored wellness plan so that they may begin to take actionable steps to live a more fulfilling life. I welcome working with adolescents, teens, and adults in both individual and group settings. I am a culturally competent and LGBTQIA+ affirming individual and therapist, and I welcome all to share a safe space for growth and healing.

The process of starting or reentering counseling can be overwhelming but a brave step towards improving your wellness. I honor that step by committing myself to meet you where you are, sit with you in whatever emotion arises, and offer you a safe and relaxed environment to discuss your concerns. As your therapist, I will work with you to collaboratively create a road map to greater health using our alliance and therapeutic tools along the way. We will work together to identify your goals, beliefs, and assets; process life stress; and empower your life for greater wellness, however you define this. I offer Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, Exposure (ERP), Strength-Based and Person-Centered services for adults and young adults, addressing symptoms of anxiety, OCD, stress, life transitions, relationships, and ADHD. Through my Masters and Doctoral work as well as my background teaching and supervising Master's level clinicians, I have created a therapeutic approach that is not only centered around YOU, the client, but incorporates practices that are backed by scientific evidence. It is my greatest desire to use what I know to see you grow and live the life you want.
