Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

College can look like you have everything figured out while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who you actually are. Maybe you were used to being the “smart one” or the one who had it together, and now you’re realizing you feel… average. You’re studying harder but barely getting B’s or C’s or even failing, thinking about dropping a class, or questioning whether you’re even on the right path. You might be considering changing your major (again), taking a leave for your mental health, or feeling pressure to graduate on time so you don’t fall behind your friends. You might also be trying to figure out what you actually want to do with your life, feeling overwhelmed by career decisions, grad school applications, or exams like the MCAT or LSAT. Or you’re navigating friendships, your identity, dating, and independence for the first time and realizing it’s not as easy as it was told to you. I work best with college students and young adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of being stuck in their own head. You might look like you’re doing fine on the outside, but internally feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of your direction. Therapy with me is collaborative and real. We don’t just talk about what’s going on. We slow things down, understand the patterns underneath it, and figure out how to actually move forward in a way that fits your life. I’m not a one-size-fits-all or “just use these coping skills” therapist. Some sessions we process, some we build tools, and some we focus on getting you unstuck and taking action. The goal is not just awareness, but change that feels realistic and sustainable. If you’re tired of overthinking everything, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like you’re falling behind while everyone else seems fine, therapy can be a space to figure things out without having to pretend you have it all together. Many college students I work with are trying therapy for the first time. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what your goals are yet, but it does help to have some sense that you want things to feel different and are open to looking at yourself more honestly. This work goes beyond venting or quick fixes. It’s about understanding patterns, building insight, and applying that in real life, even when that process feels uncomfortable at times.

As a therapist I believe that all of use can benefit from the use of help at times in managing the struggles brought on by the stresses of daily living, work, or school, life transitions, grief, and past traumas.

I worked eight years as an Adult Nurse Practitioner in several settings before expanding my specialty to Psychiatry/Mental Health; it was the best career decision I could have made. I started practicing Psychiatry in a correctional setting, treating adolescents and adults. It was there that I recognized the significance of early mental health promotion, screening, and treatment. For the past four years, I’ve worked in a private practice with a diverse patient population across the lifespan. My main role is assessing, diagnosing, education, and medication management, and I occasionally incorporate therapy. I have found that motivational interviewing helps elicit the patient’s goals and determine readiness for change. The individual patient and his/her goals dictate my chosen therapy modality. Brief supportive therapy, Grief therapy, and CBT interventions are the modalities I most often incorporate. All psychiatry providers at Foresight have specialized experience in treating a wide range of common mental health conditions, including but not limited to ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, and PTSD. In addition, I specialize in the following areas: academic stress, BIPOC mental health issues, CBT-I, comorbidities/medical complexity, deprescribing, holistic approaches to psychiatry, LGBTQIQ2s+ mental health, personality disorders, somatic symptoms disorders, trauma-informed care, anger management, antisocial personality disorder, autism spectrum disorder, chronic illness, chronic pain, developmental disorders, dissociative disorders, first responders, grief, men’s issues, pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum, racial identity, self harming (non-suicidal self injurious behavior), transgender care, veterans care, women’s issues (PMDD, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, etc.)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings a warm approach to direct, empowering, and holistic therapy to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. My therapy style is collaborative, humorous, and affirming as I believe you are the expert in your own life but I can be a supportive tool to help you in being who you want to be! Healing isn't one-size-fits-all, and therapy shouldn't be either. My work is based in trauma-informed care that honors where you've been, what you have experienced, and meets you exactly where you are. I believe your body holds wisdom that talk therapy alone can't always reach, which is why we integrate somatic approaches that help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Caroline (she/her) and I’m a therapist, avid reader, creative, reality TV enthusiast, and proud dog mom. I specialize in identity work, and provide queer- and trans-affirming care. I also work with folks navigating trauma, addiction, binge eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD & more. My goal is always to cultivate a therapeutic relationship where you can show up fully and honestly, and feel deeply supported (because I am on your team!) We might work well together if you’re looking for someone empathic and laidback, who also challenges you. I invite you to get curious about how your lived experiences impact who you are and how you engage with the world. I also trust your innate wisdom as the expert of your own life. I believe that therapy is political and that we are all deeply impacted by the systems in which we exist. I receive weekly consultation regarding anti-racist and anti-oppressive therapeutic practices, and I seek to maintain a practice in which people of all identities do not simply feel tolerated, but feel deeply understood, accepted, and nurtured.
