Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

The therapeutic relationship is a foundational piece of the puzzle in effective therapy, and finding a therapist who is right for you can feel daunting. To share a bit about myself and help you make an informed decision, I have a background in social work and have worked alongside children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, difficult relationships, major life transitions, and complicated systems. I believe therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and build a life that feels more authentic, intentional, and connected to what matters to you. It is important to me that the techniques and approaches we use in therapy are grounded in research while also making space for curiosity and the individual needs of each person. I am also interested in how connection with the natural world, mindfulness, and meditation can support healing, grounding, and greater awareness. Wherever you are starting from, I look forward to meeting you there.

Meagan Logsdon is an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) in the state of Georgia and National Certified Counselor who works with individuals ranging from teens to older adults. Meagan received her BA in English from the University of Georgia in 2009 where she was also a member of the Redcoat Marching Band. After a decade working as a paralegal, she decided to shift career paths and, in 2026, received her MA in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Aside from the legal field, Meagan has also worked in supportive roles in various local school settings. She brings these experiences engaging with a variety of perspectives into the counseling room. Meagan approaches therapy as a place where the inner world can finally speak in its own dialect through story, symbol, metaphor, and play. Much of her work centers on ADHD and the perfectionism and feelings of inferiority that often accompany it. She helps clients understand the emotional architecture beneath their patterns—the pressure to perform, the fear of disappointing others, the exhaustion of masking, and the quiet belief that everyone else received a manual they somehow missed. She invites curiosity instead of criticism and helps clients build a more compassionate relationship with themselves and others. An avid arts enjoyer, Meagan sees creativity and play as a form of psychological movement, a way of loosening the roles people feel obligated to perform. Unstructured play often gets lost in adulthood, especially when life demands adults stay composed or hide the parts of themselves that feel too tender. Using psychodynamic, narrative, and IFS-informed approaches, Meagan sits with those navigating the aftershocks of religious or sexual trauma and those who feel caught between identities, between faith and doubt, or between who they were told to be and who they are becoming. She works collaboratively and with a commitment to honoring the mind’s complexity and the human longing for meaning. In her free time, Meagan enjoys reading, playing her flute, practicing yoga, video gaming, and running a Dungeons and Dragons campaign for her friends.

I work with a wide range of clients — from young adults navigating grief, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+-related concerns, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and life transitions. Across my 10 years of experience, I've learned and implemented a wide variety of therapeutic techniques and strategies for a range of presenting concerns. I like to begin our first couple of sessions by getting a clear view of what brought you in, along with your broader beliefs and background, so I can tailor our work together. If you're looking for a therapist who is gentle, kind, and comforting in her approach, that's me. I do challenge negative thought patterns and miscommunication when it's helpful, though I also find that clients often benefit from arriving at those insights on their own.
