Therapists for college students near 30309

I am a trauma-informed clinician who incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic principles and person-centered therapy into my work with clients. I enjoy working with teens and adults. While I believe technique and theory are important components in healing and growing, I think that the relationship between myself and the people I work with is the most important part of therapy.

We are also available to anyone who resides the state of Georgia Virtually. Our mission is to offer a welcoming, relaxed and safe environment for our clients to heal, grow, meet their goals and assist them in building the life desire most. We believe one therapeutic approach does not fit all and we have therapists trained in different therapeutic modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT, and IFS, and polyvagal theory. We believe in having a connection with your therapist is the foundation of the change process and offer free 15-minute consultation calls to ensure you and your therapist are an excellent fit.

College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming. Many of the students we work with are balancing academic pressure, relationships, family expectations, and big questions about identity and the future. If you find yourself feeling anxious, burned out, lonely, or unsure of your direction, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. At Pacifica Counseling & Psychiatry, we provide a supportive space where students can slow down, talk honestly about what they’re going through, and develop tools to move forward with more clarity and confidence. Our team works with students navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the pressure to “have everything figured out.” We believe every person’s story is unique, and counseling should reflect that. Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, a place to process life’s challenges, or support during a difficult season, our clinicians are here to help you build resilience and reconnect with a sense of peace and purpose. We look forward to working with you!

It takes courage to be open and vulnerable. I cherish the moment a client decides to share their vulnerabilities with me, or when a child invites me to play along. I know these moments bring about trust, and a client’s trust means everything to me. My overall goal with each session is to provide a safe and accepting environment while empowering clients to become the best versions of themselves. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. Additionally, I have completed specialized training with Postpartum Support International which allows me to assist women throughout their motherhood journey. My areas of specialty include: anxiety, depression, life-changes, grief, low self-esteem, anger, parenting struggles, family of origin issues, behavioral challenges, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I work with children (ages 3-6), adolescents, women, and parents. I utilize a strengths-based approach and tailor sessions based on individual needs. My approach incorporates techniques from Adlerian Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to forming a trusting relationship with you.

“I can’t do it” “There is nothing left to look forward to” “This will define me” “Why is this happening to me?” These are the phrases I often hear among the individuals and families who come into the therapy room. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainty, I help facilitate the transition from living a life in fear to experiencing a sense of freedom despite any circumstance. I am deeply passionate about coming alongside children, teenagers, and young adults who may feel isolated, hurt, stuck, or any other more complex emotion. Using both direct and empathetic communicative approaches, I create safe spaces for my clients to process their feelings, build upon their strengths, and reach their goals. I recognize that counseling is not a one size fits all approach. I always believe that you are more than your circumstances and that those do not define you. By integrating various techniques, we will work together to find what is the most effective treatment for you! I invite you to provide feedback in order to get what you want out of our time together. I want you to be able to have a voice because, ultimately, you are the expert on yourself and I am here to support your individual journey. I hope to create a safe space for you to process the past, be able to live in the present and help instill hope for the future. I anticipate that we can work together to create change for you that lasts a lifetime. Candidly, I am no stranger to the feeling of being on the other side of the couch and acknowledge the strength and vulnerability it takes for you to reach out! My calling to this career came from my own therapy journey as I struggled with anxiety and depression as a teenager. I remember feeling isolated and alone in a chaotic world when nothing seemed to get better. With this struggle, it has been my life goal to become a therapist to help children, teenagers, and young adults like myself who experience anxiety, depression, or challenging experiences. I find genuine joy in being able to come alongside individuals to see their growth. I hope that we are able to work together to help you overcome these challenges of anxiety and depression to help you flourish.

I work with college students and young adults who are often doing “okay” on the outside but feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck on the inside. You might be juggling academic pressure, high expectations, or big life changes and finding that your mind won’t slow down or that self-doubt is always in the background. Therapy with me is calm and collaborative. We take time to understand what you’re dealing with and find ways to cope that actually feel realistic for you. I often work with students who struggle with perfectionism, overthinking, body image concerns, or a difficult relationship with food. I offer virtual therapy for students located in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, which can be especially helpful if you’re attending college away from home and want consistent support. My goal is to help you feel steadier, more supported, and less alone as you navigate college and the transitions that come with it.

Do you ever feel like school is too much, or that the transition into adulthood is more stressful than you imagined? What if you are unsure you are following the right path for you or feel like the pressure to succeed is weighing you down? Or, do you feel like you are struggling with managing your time and relationships? Transitioning to college can be full of fun and excitement, but it can also be a time of change and responsibility that sometimes leads us to a point where we just need someone to talk to that can help us through the rough patch. This is where I come in. I am here to listen and provide a safe and confidential atmosphere where you are free to express yourself openly. I am here to let you know that you are not alone in this, and together, we can work to help you improve and enjoy your college and early adulthood experience.

Is your past making you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, attachment wounds, and life transitions. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, build resilience, and find a path toward healing and fulfillment. I believe that accepting your emotions is a powerful step in the healing journey. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and proven practices that empower you to gain insight, build coping strategies, and foster positive change. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps reprocess distressing memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and create lasting relief. Additionally, I incorporate somatic modalities to support nervous system regulation, helping you reconnect with a sense of safety and balance in your everyday life. Taking the first step toward therapy can be scary, but reaching out is a sign of strength. I offer a free consultation to answer your questions, explore your needs, and see if we’re the right fit.
