Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

I love working with people who think they may have lost the plot. Who wonder if their symptoms may be a natural reaction to our society and our utter disconnection....from everything. I see you, and I get it. I think there is more to a life well-lived than mainstream notions of success. Come explore your life through values exploration and honest self-assessment, whether short or long-term. Welcoming and affirming for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. I have an eclectic approach, which is a fancy way of saying that I don't rely on any one way of approaching curiosities. But my starting point is always from a place of your strengths, the things you are doing well, and your unique interests/wants/needs. I trend toward elements from Acceptance and Commitment, Positive Psychology, Existentialism, Brief Solution- Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Radical Acceptance, and Mindfulness. I am progressive in my politics, non-religious, and I believe that cursing is a valid form of self-expression. Humor is a big part of how I communicate and I believe it can get us through a lot of things. Despite being a middle-aged white woman who grew up in the south, you will find no bigoted mindset here. I will never pretend to understand the totality of your experience, but I do promise to see you, hear you, and respect you, while being mindful of the systemic, familial, and cultural issues that may be impacting you. I have stopped taking insurance because of all the barriers it creates from its medical model of viewing functionality and need. I know this creates a financial barrier for some, but I believe that until the system changes, its more of a detriment overall. But lets check those out-of-network benefits and see what we can squeeze out of the insurance company for you :)

At Stillwell Athens, we offer both individual counseling and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to support college students and all young adults who are navigating emotional, relational, or life transitions. We provide different levels of care so clients can access the amount of support they need, whether that’s weekly therapy or more structured, consistent treatment, without stepping away from school, work, or daily responsibilities. Our approach is relational, developmentally informed, and evidence-based. We work with individuals, couples, and families using modalities such as CBT and DBT, alongside experiential and creative approaches when appropriate. We regularly support college students and young adults adjusting to independence, academic or career stress, and relationship challenges, as well as adults and parents managing changing family dynamics, identity shifts, and major life decisions. For those who need more than individual therapy alone, our IOP provides increased structure, group support, and clinical care while remaining fully outpatient. This option is well-suited for clients who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of additional accountability and connection. 10-15 hours of therapeutic support per week. At Stillwell, we focus on helping our clients build insight, develop practical skills, and strengthen the supports that allow for meaningful, sustainable change. You don't have to put your life on hold or compromise your mental health and wellbeing.

College can be a wild mix of freedom and stress... with friend drama, missing home but wanting independence, figuring out what you want to do with your life, financial pressure, loneliness when friend groups shift, and the everyday weight of adult responsibilities starting to pile up. It’s a lot to carry, and it makes sense if you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure how to handle it all. And then, when you’re finally ready to reach out for support, finding a therapist can feel like another full-time assignment. Scrolling through endless profiles feels a little like online dating... you’re reading way too many bios, everyone sounds kind of the same, and you’re left wondering who you’ll actually click with. Add in the stress of costs, schedules, and trying to figure out if they’ll really get what you’re going through, and it’s exhausting before you even start. My goal is to make that step less overwhelming and give you a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or have it all figured out.

I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to healing and growth, creating a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself openly without fear of judgment. My counseling style is built on empathy, active listening, and unwavering support, providing you with practical strategies and direct feedback that fosters self-awareness and personal transformation.

Hi! I’m Dr. Erickson, and I serve as WellQor’s Clinical Director for Massachusetts and Wisconsin. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology and completed my post-doctoral training at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community mental health clinics, and college counseling centers. What matters most to me in therapy is the relationship I build with each person I work with. I believe strong, genuine relationships are the foundation for real change. I focus on understanding my clients deeply, how their identity, life experiences, trauma, family dynamics, anxiety, or depression may be shaping their current challenges. My goal is to help you make sense of it all and support you as you grow and heal. As your therapist, I’ll see your strengths, listen with care, and stand with you as you work toward the changes you want in your life and relationships. Life can be incredibly hard, but I believe healing is always possible. When you contact WellQor, our office team will help you get scheduled and guide you through the first steps of starting care.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me in choosing a support person for yourself or family member. I facilitate individual therapy with adult and older adult populations, and treat issues related to life transitions, stress management, relationships, family systems, trauma, and chronic health conditions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with our political climate, finding it hard to say no or to ask for help, creating balance between helping others' and prioritizing your own needs, developing goals or identifying your values, we can work together to alleviate suffering and promote greater well-being in your life. For the past five years I have been a remote therapist (telehealth services) and a first responder clinician (co-responder) responding on scene to 911 mental health emergencies with my law enforcement partner. Prior to these roles, I provided dual diagnosis therapy in a variety of settings, including outpatient, residential, and jail settings since 2009. I have witnessed first-hand the struggles we all face, as well as the needs of families that develop over time. It is important to have a space to explore and express our needs with someone who is able to hold empathy and unconditional positive regard, as well as identify strategies for healing and change. I look forward to working with you.

I specialize in working with college women who are navigating the ups and downs of emerging adulthood such as balancing academics, friendships, family expectations, and the pressures of figuring out who you are and what comes next. For many of my clients, this stage of life feels exciting and overwhelming all at once, and therapy becomes a place to sort through those emotions and find steady ground. In our work together, I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where you can be open and real. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’m here to help you untangle what feels heavy, discover coping tools that actually work for you, and build confidence in your ability to manage challenges. I know that college life often brings unique stressors. Together, we’ll work on building resilience, improving emotional regulation, and finding clarity so you can move forward with more peace and confidence. If you’re feeling stretched thin, second guessing yourself, or just tired of pretending everything is fine, you don’t have to carry it alone. Therapy can be the space where you start to feel grounded, supported, and reminded of your own strength!

Welcome, I’m Natoyia Harris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities. My background includes crisis support, counseling, and case management with people from many different walks of life. What I bring to each session is compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to helping you unmask the layers of disappointment, rejection, or emotions that may feel too heavy to carry alone. I work with individuals who are struggling to manage the many paths and pressures that impact their lives—whether that means navigating stress, life transitions, relationships, or unprocessed emotions. My goal is to bridge the gap by providing a holistic approach to therapy that is centered on you as a unique individual. “I believe healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative—we work together to build bridges of support strong enough to carry life’s challenges, while honoring your story, values, and goals. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.”

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.

I help women move through anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and life
transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re navigating career
shifts, relationship changes, or simply feel disconnected from who you are,
therapy can help you realign with your values, rebuild your self-trust, and
reclaim your sense of direction. In my work together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck—self-
criticism, perfectionism, unresolved grief, or limiting beliefs—and
transform those barriers into breakthrough moments. I’ll support you in
using your natural strengths to problem-solve, build self-awareness, and
take intentional steps toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling. As an introvert and a therapist, I deeply understand the internal worlds
many women carry quietly—feeling like you always have to “hold it
together” even when you’re unraveling inside. This space is designed for
you to safely unpack, reflect, and rebuild without judgment. Let’s work together to shift from self-doubt to self-assurance. You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and seen.

Hello, I’m Joanna, a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults, college students, and student-athletes navigate life’s challenges. College can be an exciting time, but balancing academic pressure, relationships, independence, finances, athletic responsibilities, and expectations for the future can also feel overwhelming. Whether you are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, co-dependency, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, or everyday stress, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I also provide therapy for athletes experiencing performance anxiety, difficulty balancing academics and athletics, burnout, injuries, identity concerns, low confidence, and stress related to competition or team expectations. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to strengthen your coping skills, confidence, emotional well-being, and overall performance. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your individual needs. I earned my degrees from Northern Kentucky University with honors, specializing in Trauma-Informed Care, and I am currently pursuing my doctorate to expand my clinical expertise. I incorporate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to ensure that treatment is personalized to your experiences and goals. You do not have to navigate college, athletics, or life’s challenges alone. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision, and I am here to support you throughout the process. Together, we can work toward helping you heal, grow, build resilience, and create a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

Finding the courage to begin therapy is no small thing—and I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. I’m Melonie Singleton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist who believes that healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore, curious enough to grow, and brave enough to begin again. I specialize in working with children and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that hold you back, strengthen your inner compass, and create space for healing, joy, and possibility. In our first few sessions, you can expect me to ask many questions to get to know you—your past, present, and hopes for the future. My approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices designed to meet you exactly where you are. Therapy is an adventure inward—a journey toward the truest version of yourself. If you’re ready to start charting your own path to healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
