Therapists for college students near Atlanta, GA

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!

It's your life, your journey. You deserve to experience your life in the most authentic way possible, on your terms. In difficult times, life becomes overwhelming, and we may need help finding the way through. To assist clients in achieving mental health goals, Billy Cottrell-Jackson, LPC, NCC, CCTP utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic practices to help improve client mental health, wellness, and overall quality of life.

Managing school coursework, social commitments, family obligations, and future life planning can be a lot. College years can be really wonderful but can also become quite overwhelming at times. If you're finding it difficult to manage it all, let's talk. You've set out to better your life by earning a degree and you don't have to struggle through the experience. I work with clients attempting to manage increased feelings of anxiety and depression. Sometimes these feelings are due to the stress of increased demands and sometimes they seem to come out of no where. Partnering with a therapist can help identify your particular struggles and what may help to begin to improve things. Please feel free to check out my website for more information or to contact me directly to talk more.

Hi! I work with children, teens, adults, and families to help them meet their goals and improve their overall well-being. My approach is warm, creative, and client-centered—I tailor each session to fit your needs and comfort level. As a Registered Art Therapist and talk therapist, I believe in the healing power of creativity. Art can help you process complex emotions, build coping skills, and find hope and resilience. You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy—it's about expression and exploration, not perfection. If art isn’t your thing, that’s totally okay too! I also use traditional talk therapy approaches.

My experience working in this field has taught me that most people want to thrive and do well; however, they do not always have the tools needed to do so. As a Clinician, my passion is to inform, inspire, and increase an individual’s self-awareness by creating an individualized plan that foster’s positive personal effectiveness. I became a therapist to assist clients with uncovering the core of their concerns/issues. I partner with the client to create problem solving techniques and coping skills that can be utilized to address those concerns/issues. It is my belief that anyone can benefit from receiving individualized care that can increase self-esteem, decrease stress factors, and improve communication. If you are ready to nurture positive changes in your life, contact me!
