You’ve spent so much time being who everyone needed you to be and have drifted away from who YOU need to be for YOU. On the outside everything looks fine… you’re the “strong” one, you’re handling “business”, and you show up for everyone.

Hello, my name is Alexa Thayer and I am a licensed Associate Professional Counselor working at Indigo Therapy and Wellness in Kennesaw, Georgia. Are you looking for a compassionate and understanding counselor to help aid you in your journey to a healthier mind? Are you struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, ADHD, or panic attacks? If this sounds like you then you have found the right counselor! I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, self-harm, ADHD, panic disorders, and more. I understand that therapy is not a one size fits all and meet my clients where they are at and tackle their most pressing needs first. I am not rigid in my ways and utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to aid my clients on their journey to a healthier mind. I offer a generous sliding scale and offer a free 15-minute phone consultation as well to answer any questions or concerns.

Many of the students I work with share something in common: they’re trying to juggle a lot at once. Between classes, assignments, work, relationships, and figuring out their future, life can feel overwhelming. Some struggle with stress and anxiety, others with low motivation, mood changes, or difficulty focusing. And many feel like they have to hold it all together on their own. In our work together, I provide a supportive space where you don’t have to have all the answers. My goal is to help you sort through what feels heavy, build tools to manage stress, and find balance so you can feel more like yourself again. You don’t need to know all the “right words” or have it figured out before you start—we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re going through. If you’re a student who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for extra support, this is a place where you can be honest, breathe easier, and move forward at your own pace.

You are the expert on you. I simply seek to work alongside you as a collaborator in your personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. I am certified in EMDR, and I have knowledge and training in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and prenatal/postpartum concerns. We do serious work in session, but I approach my work with lightness, and I firmly believe that lightness lends itself to true connection, growth, and even laughter. I work primarily with adolescents and adults who face relationship challenges, complex trauma, and utilize an eclectic approach. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with many of my clients who have experienced trauma.

In each person's life a little rain must fall. At times, however, it may feel as though you are ill equipped to weather the storm. Gaining new coping skills, strengthening self-esteem and adopting new behaviors are just some of the possible outcomes of successful counseling. I consider it an honor to hear your story and work with you towards change. Whether you are battling anxiety, low self-esteem, going through a transition such as a career change or are dealing with past wounds, my hope is that you'll find a safe place to land as we work together to find a place that brings fulfillment and helps you reach your goals. I work from a person-centered approach, understanding that we each come with our own strengths and challenges. I offer a collaborative approach and encouraging space utilizing techniques from a variety of theoretical frameworks and evidenced-based treatments. I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. We will work together to identify your goals and make a plan on how to achieve them. I strive to listen empathetically and provide a judgement-free space to explore the things keeping you from living the life you desire. If you are ready to start experiencing life in a more fulfilling way, I would be happy to help you get started.

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.

Taking the first step to counseling is not an easy one. I am glad you are here! It truly brings me so much joy to walk alongside clients and their families as they work towards healing, freedom, and personal growth. My goal is to build a caring, nonjudgmental environment to ensure that everyone who enters my office feels accepted and safe. I work with adolescent and young adult clients from a client-centered lens. Utilizing a client-centered approach to therapy, I practice with empathy and compassion. I work with different mental health issues including, but not limited to: trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and women's issues. I would be honored to work with you as you prioritize your mental health. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! You are welcome here.

My practice specializes in providing clinical counseling and consulting services for diverse populations from a systemic lens. I provide individual and family counseling, evaluations for ADHD & autism, forensic family law evaluations, as well as clinical supervision for Mental Health Counseling and Marriage & Family Therapy interns seeking licensure in Florida. I focus my clinical work on helping adolescents and teens under stress and adults who have lived through difficult times as children. This means that many of my clients identify as Gen-Z, millennials, and high-achieving professionals who have experienced trauma in their families of origin and desire to seek and engage in healthier relationships with themselves and with others. In the last few years as my practice has become more specialized, a common denominator is that many of my clients are exploring their brain style and its accompanying traits. Consequently, my ideal client is someone exploring how their ADHD, giftedness, and/or autism are impacting their school & work performance, their mental & physical health, and their relationships. Neurodiversity affirming therapy is a client-centered approach that recognizes the diversity of human experience and promotes acceptance, inclusion, and empowerment for individuals with neurological differences. As a result, my therapeutic approach is strengths-based, supportive, goal-oriented, and trauma-informed. As a systemic therapist, that means addressing diversity, gender, power, and other sociocultural dimensions is an inherent part of the work we will do together. My own lived experience combined with over a decade of working with neurodivergent individuals and their families allows me to bring unique perspective and empathy to the therapeutic space. You might like my style if you are craving- or even open to – exploration of your inner child, befriending your body, gaining emotional intelligence, and navigating healthier relationships.

Seeking help is challenging. Having to share thoughts and feelings with people can be intimidating. Having to talk to someone you don’t know can be intimidating. Stranger danger! However, like many things in life, it's not as hard as it seems. I work with people who feel overwhelmed with their thoughts and stress. The person who feels stuck. Overthinking leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to avoidance, and avoidance leads to feeling unhappy. Let's break that cycle!
