Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

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!

“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.

Painful emotions like anxiety, depression, and shame can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and hopeless. Therapy can help you work through this pain and guide you toward living your best life. My mission is to provide my clients a safe and empathetic space in which we can make progress toward implementing new skills and achieving lasting improvement. My clients describe me as warm, nonjudgmental, relatable, and unafraid to help them grapple with the most difficult of topics. I find these elements to be essential to building and nurturing strong and successful therapeutic relationships. My passion as a therapist is working with individuals to develop strategies and the skills to make sustainable progress toward living a full and rewarding life.

I am also particularly well-suited to work with clients who are transitioning back into their home and community following hospitalization and/or longer-term care for psychiatric stabilization.

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.

**Accepting clients who reside in Georgia or Texas.** Having worked on college campuses in admissions, academic advising, and career counseling, I love working with college-age students and the unique stressors that this season of life can bring upon them. When I meet with young adults, I often hear comments like, “I’m overwhelmed and stressed, and I just can’t get out of my own head” or “This situation or this challenging relationship is leaving me frustrated and stuck, and I don’t know what to do about it.” Navigating relationships with others can be challenging when we are confused about what we can control in the situation. I know because I, too, have struggled with how to handle difficult people and difficult relationships in my life. This means that you are not alone in the challenges that you may be facing right now. I'd love to work with you through this difficult season. I also provide Career Exploration Coaching for clients who are looking for extra support on decision-making for choices of major/minor or potential career paths that fit them best. I'd love to help you through this process.

Hello! My name is Alex. I am part of a private practice called Early Connections Child & Family Counseling. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and college students. While college can bring a lot of novelty and excitement, it can also bring difficulty and pain. You may meet hundreds of new people, but feel lonely and disconnected. Challenges at home or past trauma may make it tough for you to stay mentally and emotionally present on campus. You might feel anxious and overwhelmed as your classwork and other commitments pile up. These are just a few examples of stressors many college students face everyday. Regardless of where you are now, it takes a lot of courage to begin the process of counseling, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I work hard to create a safe, authentic, and engaging space where every student can freely express themselves. We will work together to identify areas in your life where I can be supportive, and create goals that will help you live your life well. Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you!
