Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

We provide students and school personnel with the skills to manage or resolve anxiety on location in one of our convenient offices (Marietta or Woodstock) or virtually through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. Do you need help with your anxiety or time management? Are you looking for ways to overcome social or performance anxiety? Do you need better skills in conflict management for home, school, or work? Do you want a confidential, professional opinion on how you are handling school or work? Have you tried your own solutions and realized you need an objective solution centered viewpoint? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by coming to me. I specialize with proven methods, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), to help with anxiety. We also provide Marriage Counseling to couples having increased stress due to educational pressure. We can help you improve communication, connection, and conflict resolution through proven techniques. We recognize that your choice to attend therapy alone or with your spouse can be a challenge. It is our goal to work with you to recognize strengths and develop these assets to help you overcome whatever barriers may be hindering your progress. At Advent Counseling we listen, assess, and create a workable treatment plan to assist you in achieving your goals. Individual Counseling is focused on the individual’s immediate or near future concerns. It may encompass education, career, goal setting, planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with other problems before they become insurmountable. Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor and the client. The two form an alliance or professional relationship that enables trust and personal growth.

Hi! I’m Samantha Heuwagen, a sex, marriage & family therapist, best-selling author, and activist. When I’m not working with clients, I promote and engage in the discussion surrounding mental health and healthy relationships through social media, lectures, workshops, and writing. Featured on The Huffington Post, NBC News, Bustle, DatingNews.com, and more, my goal is to spread awareness by challenging the popular discourse concerning mental health, healthy relationships, and sex.

Most likely, you are searching due to questions about the world you are entering into, and what is your next step now that you are in college or nearing the end.

Treatment Philosophy We are a counseling practice and professional team that believes in developing personal, caring relationships with our clients. Time after time, clinical studies have proven that success in counseling isn’t about theory or techniques. It’s about relationships. Specifically, the relationship between you and your clinician. We strive to make counseling a uniquely helpful and positive experience. A one size fits all approach doesn’t work. If people are individuals, shouldn’t counseling be individualized? We will work together to construct an approach that fits your needs and create an experience that helps you achieve progress. Our treatment philosophy values a strength-based outlook. In other words, while we’ll carefully consider your issues and concerns, we’ll also spend a considerable amount of time leveraging what you do well and how to build on those strengths using scientifically supported counseling techniques. Counseling doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out process to be helpful. Sometimes all it takes is a small step in the right direction for you to move forward in your life. For more information on individual counseling, couples counseling, marriage counseling, career counseling, and psychological testing, please click here. What Makes Us Different?

You're spread so thin between school, family, and life- only to find that you are left empty and unfulfilled. You've done everything you were supposed to, isn't life supposed to be happy now?

Life can be hard. I get it. Especially when trying to balance the already difficult challenges of daily life and trying to be successful in higher education at the same time. Anxiety, family conflict, relationship problems, imposter syndrome, and other common problems are understandable concerns with everything today’s college student have to deal with. Adjustment to college by itself can be challenging, be it undergrad or even grad school. I believe I can help… I have a very down-to-earth, non-judgmental style and like to think that I am easy to talk to. I have over 20 years of experience in Mental Health and Higher Education. Therapeutically, I use an integrative approach that draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systems Theory, and is influenced by social justice frameworks. Professionally my interests include racially marginalized students, developmental concerns, family of origin concerns, relationship concerns, stress/anxiety induced academic performance issues, men’s issues, and imposter syndrome/sense of belonging. Outside of work, I consider myself a “Blerd”. I’m a serious movie/cinema buff. I’m also a fan of all things Comics and Sci-Fi/fantasy. I enjoy community service and cultural events. (Note: I can not accept current Emory University Students)

Hi I'm Alison Cross! I am a psychotherapist, and I provide both in person and virtual services in Georgia and North Carolina. It’s important to have an idea of what feels like the right fit when you’re looking for a qualified person to talk to. The problem is, how do you know? So here's what it looks like with me. When my client leaves our session, my goal is for them to feel heard and respected. I want my clients to feel like they’re talking to a real person. How else can trust be built? My style has been described as 'down to earth, gentle, and encouraging.' I also have a great sense of humor that comes in only when appropriate. I view therapy as a safety net for the various issues clients bring. I will collaborate with you from the very first session on goals for your time. Some people I work with prefer to set the agenda for our time together, with just a few interjections from me. Understanding the big picture and getting to the heart of the matter are things I'm good at. I have also completed the Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems and Level 1 training in the Embodied Reocvery Model. I love using these models because they are beautifully client focused. My goal is to develop a positive therapeutic relationship with you. When that happens, hope is tangible and the spirit opens to new life and new beginnings. All sessions with me will be virtual unless I'm in Atlanta and we can coordinate an in person session.
