Individual Counseling

Individual Therapy for Adults: We work very effectively with adults who are struggling with some of the many concerns we have listed in the bullets below.  We believe in determining treatment goals at the begining of therapy.  Depending on these and the client's movement toward their goals, we see people for as short as 1-3 months to up to a year or more. 

College Students: As we are located in the heart of Athens Georgia we feel the need to extend a special welcome to those young students who find themselves calling Athens home during this part of their life journey.  Perhaps this is your first or second year away from home and you are overwhelmed or maybe you have found yourself struggling with school and losing sight of your goals. For others, you may find yourself spinning out of control for one reason or another and many more of you may be struggling with painful relationships and break-ups.  This is a time that many students will encounter their first experience with anxiety and depression among other struggles.  We have extensive experience working with college students and their special needs.

Young Professionals: Whether you grew up in Athens or a job has brought you to the the classic city, we find your age range to be a special population with very unique needs.  Although the town is a great place for students and families it can be a very tough place to live as a single young professional or young married couple.  We are sensitive to the unique struggles this time in your life brings.  Many of our clients struggle to develop lasting relationships in a town full of college students and find themselves lonely and sometimes feeling like they are getting left behind in the game of life.  We have worked with many others in your position and are here to help!
