Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA
We all experience loss in life. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or loss of a cherished dream, grief can be a hard journey to travel but you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Grief often leaves us with intense feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, or numbness. You may even wonder 'what is my purpose now?' I am here to facilitate healing and offer support, understanding, and a judgment free space to explore your emotions. I specialize in grief and loss and am dedicated to supporting adults through their journey of healing and transformation. There is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy so I tailor my approach to each person's unique grief experience. I aim to help you navigate the grieving process and find meaning and hope in life after loss. Whether you’re struggling with recent loss or navigating unresolved grief from the past, I am here to walk alongside you on your path towards healing and wholeness. I am happy to meet with you for a free consultation to see if I can offer the support you need. Click on my website link or shoot me an email to get started!
Where do you go when you just want to be validated and heard without judgement? Do you have a supportive, safe space? Life can be tough when you don’t have an outlet and you are struggling with depression, self-esteem, transition or other unresolved issues that are getting in the way of your quality of life and desired goals. Expressing what is on your heart is fundamental to having a peace-filled life and can put you on a better path. As a therapist, I can help you identify your strengths within. I believe you are your own expert! Together we will explore how past experiences may be connected to current behaviors, feelings or beliefs. My personal practice of mindfulness allows me to be fully present and attuned, creating a judgement-free space that supports you. I realize it can be a difficult decision to contact a therapist, one that requires courage and readiness. You have already taken the first step by searching. It is equally important to find a therapist that is the right fit for you. Note: I specialize in CBT, DBT, Trauma-focused CBT, grief, anxiety management, and narrative therapy.

I work with anxiety and or depression triggered by single event trauma or complex trauma over time- trauma being any distressing situation where we feel helpless and powerless- These effects can create enduring shadows that stretch across our lives. Disconnected from ourselves and others, and detached from those we want to attach, we begin to think we are that disconnection itself, and it is too painful to be with ourselves or feel our feelings. We end up living in an unbalanced, reactive state of anxiety-or stuck in a freeze state of depression or shut-down. Wounding causes us to live from a defended and limited place of grief and anxieties, seeking any way to avoid and relieve pain. Therapy is the reparative process of healing in relationship and again living from our true authentic self with adaptability, resilience, and creativity. We work together to rebalance the nervous system, increase your ability to be embodied and be in relationship, and experience more completeness, joy, and connection. Work with me to regain your sense of self and feelings of connectedness and empowerment.

During our sessions, we will navigate this together. I will provide space for you to iron out the frustrations and re-write your healing journey. Be well, C. Hunter

Hi, I'm glad you are reaching out for help and to begin the process of self-discovery. Due to COVID, I'm currently providing only telehealth sessions. We can all encounter barriers — often these are out of our awareness — that prevent us from thriving in our careers and in relationships. I believe the therapeutic relationship offers a unique opportunity in the here-and-now to increase our self-awareness and understand the influence of the past on our present behavior. I work collaboratively, empathically and creatively to help you get “unstuck” and to foster meaningful, lasting change in your inner world and in your relationships with others. Over the years, I have worked with people who are experiencing challenges related to college, work, intimate relationships, identity (cultural, racial, sexual, gender, class – and intersections of these), trauma, grief, adjustments or transitions, anxiety and depression. I have worked for many years with graduate and undergraduate students.
