Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

The EAC provides educational assessments to help students thrive academically.

College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Many of the students I work with are trying to figure out their career path while also managing stress, anxiety, or feeling down. You might be questioning your major, worrying about the future, struggling with social anxiety, or feeling pressure to keep everything together while balancing school and life. I work best with college students who want a supportive place to talk through what they’re experiencing and learn practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty about their next steps. Together, we focus on helping you feel more confident in your choices, manage difficult emotions, and build skills that make college—and life beyond it—feel more manageable.

Welcome to our practice—where compassionate care meets thoughtful attention to detail. We specialize in providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing mental‑health support for college students navigating academic, social, and personal challenges. Our one‑hour initial assessment appointments are designed to give you the time and space to be heard. We take a thorough, individualized approach to understanding your history, your needs, and your goals so we can create a treatment plan that truly fits you. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, or simply need a safe place to talk, we’re here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered. We look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey.

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who provides trauma-informed care to a wide variety of patients. I strive to provide a warm and safe space where patients can feel comfortable sharing without fear of judgment. My goal is to help my patients reflect on their values so that they can work towards what it means to be their "best self." I will always focus on treating the symptoms and not the "disorder," in an effort to tailor my approach to the individual. I believe deeply in fighting stigma associated with mental illness and am involved in advocacy and research outside of treating patients.

I believe that my clients, no matter their age, are the experts of themselves and believe in playing a supportive role in my clients' transformation toward restoration, self-empowerment, and healing. I have come to see how incredibly courageous and resilient individuals can be and find it to be a blessing and a privilege to be able to do the work that I do. I have specialized in treating survivors of abuse and trauma and received certifications to provide Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Treatment and work with survivors of violence, trauma, and torture, and currently working toward a certification in EMDR. I also enjoy working with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, family systems issues and conflicts, difficulty with adjustments, grief and loss, and acculturation issues. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy, as well as creative and play therapy techniques. I am devoted to the field of counseling and helping people from all walks of life and circumstances and am honored to be invited into the lives of so many individuals. In addition, I am able to assist both English and Korean speaking clients.

I tailor treatment to each individual and offer a safe environment where I listen without judgment. I enjoy working with eating disorders and offer a warm and supportive way of understanding recovery. Therapy is a process, and I am here to help in identifying triggers, managing the symptoms and overcoming difficulties. I am working with children, adolescents and young adults facing a range of challenges including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, family conflict and trauma. I follow an integrated therapeutic approach, combining: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Narrative Therapy, DBT. I am offering culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care. My background consists of providing individual and family therapy which has included providing treatment to children, adolescents, college students, and adults with a variety of presenting concerns. I work under the clinical direction and supervision of Amy Smith-Barnes, Psy.D. I encourage you to contact me with any questions and look forward to connecting with you.

When it is time for you to begin healing from pain and creating a hope for the hurting I am here to assist and provide a Christ centered approach helping you discover the new you. It is important to help you make change for your future and help to restore broken relationships. As part of seeking help finding balance is a central theme to the restoration efforts that are used to help you become whole again. Help for those who struggle with stress and depression as they look to restore a life in balance. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor and discuss the problems that you are facing. I understand the fear of coming for help. I offer you the ability to make your own appointments online from anywhere you have internet access. This keeps you in control and offers you the chance to take the steps that you feel safe making.

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.”

Do you experience anxiety, depression, or dealing with distressing or traumatic events that are causing you to feel stuck? Are you experiencing an unhealthy relationship with food or body image? Do you feel like you are dealing with toxic relationships or patterns that are keeping you from living your best life? Therapy can provide support in helping you find a balanced relationship with food and body image, as well as find ways to manage overwhelming emotions and traumatic events. It can help bring awareness to the reasons why you are experiencing these challenges and provide a space for healing. In therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your experiences as well and find ways to navigate through them. Regardless of approach, the therapeutic relationship we build together is the most important component for successful outcomes. Connection is key! We will explore your experiences from your perspective in a non-judgmental and compassionate way, then find recognized and innovative therapies that best fit your needs. I have training in evidence-based techniques that incorporate specific tools, strategies and goals, including psychodynamic, interpersonal, CBT, attachment-based and Mindfulness approaches. I also work to raise awareness of ways in which your body may hold distressing experiences in unspoken ways. Some of my clients enjoy experience-based therapeutic approaches - like those in the art therapy group I’ve led for over 11 years. And if you just need someone to talk to, and process things with, I believe one of the most important experiences for a person is just to be heard and validated. Let’s look at the range of tools available to us and then help you find your unique path to holistic healing and meaningful peace. I have over 15 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in a range of treatment settings from inpatient, intensive outpatient, counseling centers, and private practice. Areas of specialization include disordered eating from restrictive patterns to overeating, binge eating, and emotional eating, as well as bulimia and body image disturbances. I have a passion for helping survivors of abuse and domestic violence. I also work with a range of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I use evidence-based techniques including mindfulness and CBT, as well as incorporate creative and more dynamic strategies to facilitate the healing process. I am passionate about working with people of all sexual orientations, self-identification or lifestyles. It is my belief that it is our differences and unique perspectives that can bring the greatest healing. It takes much strength and courage to seek therapy and bring voice to difficult truths. The goal for therapy is to help support the changes that you wish to make and learn to internalize the strategies and tools needed to continue on with a happy and healthy life without the need for therapy. It would be an honor to join you on your journey.

My practice is designed for students who want a grounded, compassionate place to sort through the noise and reconnect with themselves. I understand how isolating it can feel to struggle silently while still trying to show up for school, deadlines, and the people who depend on you. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together, we explore what’s weighing on you, build coping skills that actually fit your life, and create room for confidence, clarity, and emotional steadiness. Whether you’re adjusting to a new environment, managing academic stress, healing from past experiences, or simply trying to understand yourself better, you deserve support that honors your story and meets you where you are. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with resilience and self‑trust.

I believe that significant change is possible through effective therapy. I work with adults, teens, and pre-teens to provide counseling for those experiencing anxiety, depression, psychosis, and substance abuse. I also work with many people who are struggling to cope with a difficult life experience such as a chronic health issue, recent loss, relationship or school problem, or other life transition. I I have over 12 years' experience working with individuals experiencing mental health or other life challenges. I keep up to date with the latest evidence-based research and practices in the field. Evening hours available. I have experience with a variety of treatment modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Psychodynamic therapy. I approach all therapy with a strengths-based approach. I know how hard it can be to take the first step in deciding to pursue therapy. I believe that feeling understood and supported by your therapist will allow you to develop the courage and skill to grow and change. I offer a free, brief telephone consultation for all clients.

Navigating life’s challenges doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or isolating. I work with teens, women, and families to provide a safe, affirming space where you can explore your emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop meaningful coping tools. Whether you're facing anxiety, life transitions, parenting stress, or family conflict, I meet you where you are—with empathy, curiosity, and compassion. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and deeply person-centered. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a clinical checklist. You’re the expert on your life—I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and strategies that align with your goals and values. I specialize in helping clients untangle difficult emotions, improve communication, and reconnect with their strengths. If you're looking for a therapist who is approachable, thoughtful, and committed to making therapy a collaborative process, I’d be honored to support your journey.

I am able to build rapport quickly with people and clients in general. I am willing to work with people who are ready to receive the help they need. I am easy to talk to, try to be a good listener, honest, up front, and aware of issues related to immigrants as I am originally from Pakistan and a practicing Muslim. I love working with students specially as they are in the process of transitioning in life and often times need more help with coping.

You deserve a safe space where you have a voice and finally feel heard. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, emotional eating or trying to find your identity, a ton of emotions can come up that deserve to be validated and supported. Surprised to hear that? Don't be! I've learned so much from my own experiences and would love to guide you on your own journey! I have a passion for helping others take back control of their lives. We do so much every day that taking care of ourselves feels impossible! With a combination of life experience and education, I help individuals that feel as though they are alone find their path to healing.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming and out of control, and it can leave us feeling consumed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and hopelessness. While these emotions are an expected part of life, there are times they can grow so strong and intense that we feel powerless to manage them on our own. We may see their impact on various parts of our life – family, work, social relationships, our ability to feel pleasure, and our overall quality of life. If this resonates with you, if this is what you are experiencing, therapy can help. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped individuals face life’s challenges by assisting them in understanding their own emotional patterns and supporting them in making healthy choices. With time, effort, and the right tools, you can have a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way. Feeling uncertain and unsure where to start? Give me a call or message me to schedule your first appointment.

I tend to have a more eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from multiple modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as various trauma therapies, including Trauma-Focused CBT and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
