I understand how challenging and overwhelming college life can be. Between juggling classes, navigating relationships, and planning for the future, it’s easy to feel stressed, stuck, or uncertain. I’m here to help you tackle these challenges head-on. If you’re feeling anxious about academic pressures, overwhelmed by life transitions, or struggling with self-doubt, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re dealing with feelings of isolation, unresolved difficulties from the past, or relationship conflicts. Whatever it is, I’m here to support you. My approach is all about helping you feel understood and empowered. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you focus on what truly matters to you and build the tools to move toward your goals. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can help you move beyond past difficulties—whether they are related to trauma or other challenges—that may be contributing to present issues. Together, we’ll work through what’s holding you back and create a personalized plan to help you thrive. College is a time of growth, and it’s also a time to learn how to balance life’s demands while taking care of yourself. I can help you manage stress, improve your relationships, and build a mindset that helps you face challenges with confidence. You don’t have to go through this alone—I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Most people pursuing therapeutic services are managing symptoms including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and dealing with major life transitions; which all may be contributing symptoms to struggles that go deeper than the surface. These deeper challenges do not scare me, nor are they something that should scare you. Our bodies simply respond to experiences, and investigating these experiences through a compassionate lens is my goal with you in therapy. I strive to provide a safe and accepting environment in which all persons can explore their specific concerns in a confidential setting. My practice philosophy emphasizes non-judgemental methods that include IFS, TF-CBT, DBT, and relational approaches. I specialize in trauma recovery, religious trauma, gender identity exploration, purity culture, and asexuality. I also have experience with eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and autism. My clientele focus is primarily with adolescents and young adults of all genders. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and enthusiastically celebrate your personal path to discovering who your most authentic self truly is!

I am a Millennial therapist providing virtual sessions who loves to help people achieve a more balanced life. Together, we will explore concerns you may have such as low self-confidence, unhealthy boundaries, stress and anxiety, difficulty completing tasks, career exploration, work/life balance, depression, relationship issues, or even if you just need a listening ear. I aim to create a comforting space that allows you to dive deep to the root causes of your concerns. I currently work with Renewed Journey Counseling Services LLC and am under the supervision of Msichana McDole. I have enjoyed utilizing a person-centered approach to counseling which views the client as the expert on themselves. I have helped clients gain new confidence in themselves, engage in self-care, learn new strategies through CBT, create and maintain healthy boundaries, and overall find balance in their lives. As someone who continues to work on strategies to combat anxiety, I know how important it is to find a therapist who gets you. My clients have enjoyed my direct but comforting approach to sessions.

Psychologist
Dunwoody, GA

I have years of experience working with students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels in different settings. I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy or assessment room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected. I specialize in therapy of children, adolescents, and young adults. I have special interests in areas of treatment involving anxiety, depression, attention and learning difficulties, self-esteem and self-exploration, men’s issues, and online gaming and technology addictions. I incorporate tenets of CBT and psychodynamic therapy in my work. I highly value the rapport and connections I build with my clients, as they play the biggest role in determining the outcomes of treatment. If you're interested in starting therapy or assessment services, please don't hesitate to contact me. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Decatur, GA

I am a therapist with over 13 years of clinical experience. I hold the belief that we are constantly learning and evolving from our life events. We become stronger as we grow through these experiences and learn more about ourselves. Self-acceptance and self-awareness are key to being able to live freely. Our sessions will be a journey of self-discovery. I will be here to guide and support you during this process. Therapy is a safe space for you to be able to express and process your feelings. You will learn to identify triggers to negative feelings and behaviors as well as build coping skills. During the therapeutic process, you will experience clarity and growth. Prior to therapy most people desire to get back to their old self again, but therapy is actually about forward movement. We take experiences and learn from them. Wellness includes your mind, body, and soul. We do not function our best when one of these aspects is out of sync. Whether you need therapy, health coaching, or life coaching, I am here to guide and support you to meet your goals.

Hello! My name is Anjum (sounds like: Un-Joom), and I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker with 3 years of experience in mental health.

That comes with a lot of pressure This—coupled with her interest in social justice, mental health, feminism, and community—has widened her perspective on mental health treatment and how healing looks different for everyone.

Pre-Licensed Professional

I work with children, teen, and adult clients on a variety of challenges, including behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. As a young professional, I believe myself to be uniquely able to connect with the needs and culture of today's teens and young adults. I also consider myself an ally to all racial groups as well as the queer community. As a therapist with a commitment to lifelong learning, I know it is my responsibility to approach issues of diversity with humility, empathy, and openness. My primary therapeutic approaches are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness strategies. CBT involves examining the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and finding ways to disrupt patterns in our lives that bring us distress. Exploring the mind-body connection is also helpful for alleviating symptoms of anxiety and stress. We all exist at the unique intersection of our many different identities, experiences, and traits. No two people will experience the world in exactly the same way. If you're searching for a therapist who knows that you are the expert of your own experience and wants to help you identify and reach your goals, reach out today to see if we might be a good fit.
