Therapists for college students near 30309

I work with young adults struggling with the stress and anxiety of college as well as any other life transitions during this period. I strive to meet my clients where they are while providing them with the support and skills needed to get to where they want to be. College can be a difficult and potentially isolating time. I want to help you navigate any challenges, anxiety, or depression that might be preventing you from fully enjoying the experience.

I work with adults navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, self-worth, OCD, and perfectionism. Whether it's food, your body, uncertainty, or impossible standards, your mind may spend most of its energy trying to solve, control, or get it just right. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns that no longer serve you, so they no longer have to shape your life. You don't need to have the right words or even know exactly where to start. My goal is to create a space where you don't have to filter or perform.

"You deserve the BEST. You do have CHOICES. Your choices should bring you PEACE." This is the foundation on which "Dr. Kay" builds and what helped her thrive after battling major depression in college. Initially failing in her major and being forced to withdraw with an emergency mental health leave, Dr. Kay is familiar with battling the unresolved past and pressing toward hopes for the future. Dr. Kay thrives with "young folk" who are seeking to be heard, understood and healed within this unique space.

Hello and Welcome! I have over 10 years of clinical experience, and for the past five years, I’ve supported college students through the unique challenges of emerging adulthood such as academic pressure, relationship dynamics, and the stress of transitions. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space grounded in a multicultural lens, where your story is heard and valued. As an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist, I also help clients process deeper issues like trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem blocks that impact daily life. Whether you’re looking to build confidence, manage stress, or simply reconnect with the core of who you are, we’ll work together to help you grow, heal, and move forward. * Online Only

Hi, I’m Dr. Ed Delgado-Romero —psychologist, father, professor, and lifelong advocate for social justice in higher education and mental health. ​For nearly 30 years, I’ve dedicated my career to breaking down barriers—especially for those who’ve been marginalized, dismissed, or treated as “other.” Whether in my work as a counseling center psychologist, a university professor, or a mentor to the next generation of culturally responsive therapists, my passion has remained the same: to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered in spaces that haven’t always welcomed them. In therapy, I believe that a healthy process leads to healthy outcomes. It can be hard to thrive when you’re constantly navigating invalidating or oppressive environments. I work alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their sense of purpose, rediscover inspiration, and reclaim their idealism—even when cynicism or burnout starts to creep in. I also believe deeply in the transformative power of therapy because I’ve experienced it myself. Like many, I hesitated to ask for help at first, but the support of trusted therapists truly changed my life. That’s why I bring warmth, honesty, and authenticity into the room. I understand the stigma some folks carry about therapy, and I honor the strength it takes to show up. I’m continually inspired by my clients’ resilience, insight, and creativity. ​

Hi, I'm Sarah (she/her)! I'm a therapist, book lover, art appreciator, nerd, and someone who deeply appreciates connecting with friends and family over a delicious meal. I have experience counseling college students both at a college counseling center and working with students who are attending a PHP/IOP. I enjoy working with students who are managing OCD, anxiety, or depression, developing their identity, navigating life transitions, or trying to figure out how to cope with being a human in 2026. I have experience working with depression and that "stuck" feeling, perfectionism, procrastination, social anxiety, family expectations, and transitioning to college life. Juggling academics, a social life, work, and more can be hard- but there are many things we can do to help you feel more confident and at ease. I welcome, affirm, and support LGBTQ+ and ENM folks in my practice! If you are looking for support as your explore your identities and discover the values and beliefs you hold, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

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.

Having a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and valued is essential. I warmly invite you into a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore who you are and what your needs are in order to heal and grow. I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and I use a collaborative approach to support you in exploring, understanding, and shaping your path forward. I work with clients in both an individual and relationship capacity, helping people deepen their understanding of themselves, their connections, and their emotional intimacy with others. My areas of specialization include chronic illness, LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergence, trauma-related dissociation, and complex trauma. As a queer, trans, and neurodiverse therapist, I know how difficult it can be to take this step. I am here to support you, exactly as you are, with care and understanding. If you're interested in seeing if we are a good fit, reach out via email or phone & we can chat about how I can support you.

Hi, I'm Timeka. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with more than sixteen years of experience in behavioral health. I work especially well with people navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions, and together we focus on practical tools you can actually use so you feel steadier and more confident. People have always felt comfortable opening up to me, and growing up in a family that fostered children showed me early how much support and understanding can change a life. What I love most is watching a client realize their own strength and reclaim their voice. That shift from feeling stuck to feeling capable never gets old for me. I believe therapy is a courageous act of self-investment. It is not about being broken, it is about being intentional with your own healing and growth. I cannot promise a specific outcome, but I can promise to show up with compassion, respect, and genuine care, and to give you a space where you feel heard and valued. I see clients through WellQor, which provides online therapy so you can meet with me from home or wherever you feel comfortable. To get started, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help schedule your first session. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I'm Danielle. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Counselor in Georgia, and I've been doing this work for about twenty years. Most of the people I see are stuck somewhere in a relationship. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight in different clothes. Maybe things with your family got complicated and you're not sure how to say what you actually mean. Maybe it's not a relationship at all, just a lot of weight you've been carrying on your own. I also work with anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, trauma, ADHD, and the kind of stress that stops feeling normal. You don't have to arrive with the right words or a plan. We'll slow things down, figure out what's really going on underneath, and work on it together. I'm not here to tell you how to live. I'm here to listen and help you get where you actually want to go, at a pace that works for you. I see clients online through WellQor, which provides therapy across Georgia. To get started, fill out the Get Started form on the WellQor website. A patient liaison will text you with next steps and help you find a session time, so you don't have to figure out scheduling on your own.

Offering Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy & Yoga Infused Psychotherapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking psychotherapy to mindfully navigate life's emotions. Sometimes our normal emotions like anxiety, anger, grief and sadness can feel overwhelming.

I am a Certified College and University counselor who enjoys working with young adults. I am passionate about the work I do, and believe I can help my clients beyond managing crisis towards a life worth living, that is, a life that you look forward to every day.

D. Joel Marquart has 10 years of clinical experience specializing in ADHD, relationships, major life transitions, and inner-child work. He especially enjoys helping clients integrate childhood wounds, build self-compassion, and foster a stronger sense of self and purpose. He firmly believes healing only occurs when safety and trust are established enough to risk vulnerability. SPECIALTIES: Life transitions Perfectionism/Procrastination Personal growth and self-esteem Marriage and partnerships ADD/ADHD LGBTQIA+

I bring a warm and steady presence, a gentle sense of humor, and a genuine curiosity about your story to sessions. We will start where you are, and can work collaboratively to help you find meaningful change. The therapeutic relationship is essential in taking vulnerable and challenging steps in therapy, and this principle is at the heart of my practice with each person. I can incorporate Narrative Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (Parts Work), nature, and writing into sessions depending on your needs and interests.

I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. The students I work with usually made it a long way on effort alone. They got good grades, got into a good school, and figured out their own systems for keeping up. Then something changed. The workload got heavier, the structure got looser, or they hit a semester where the old tricks stopped working, and suddenly they were reading the same paragraph four times, starting papers the night before, or so exhausted after a full day of class and people that they had nothing left. A lot of them have been told they are smart but not applying themselves. A lot of them have been treated for anxiety or depression, and it helped some, but not with the part that actually gets in the way. Many are Black students, women, or students who learned early to keep it together in public no matter what it cost. Nobody ever suggested testing, because from the outside they looked fine. Some come to me because a friend got diagnosed and it sounded familiar. Some come because they need documentation for accommodations and have no idea where to start. Some come because they are tired of not knowing. If any of that sounds like you, I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. You do not need to have it figured out before you reach out. That is what the evaluation is for.

Are you looking for extra support through a challenging situation you're currently facing? Are you overwhelmed by daily life? Have you been feeling like you're all alone in your struggles? We strive to be an oasis for you in the difficult moments you are facing. We are not here to preach to you or tell you what to think or feel, but to work with you as you seek out personal answers, increase your coping skills, and make choices that are healthy for you. We provide an empathetic and non-judgmental environment and offer practical feedback, tools, and resources to help you make positive changes in yourself and your life. We can work together during your counseling sessions to better understand, move past, and navigate current concerns and/or heal from past traumas so that you can have a fulfilling and meaningful life. We offer free 15-minute phone consultations with one of our counselors so you can determine if counseling at OCC is right for you.
