anxiety, depression, & trauma | teen counseling and young adults
offering in-person services in Suwanee and online counseling throughout Georgia
Hi, I’m Jessica.
I help nerdy cool awkward teens and young adults navigate through a world that doesn’t seem to fit. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, funny, and knowing the ins and outs of their favorite games, life is hard.
When they first come in, they tell me that they don’t need therapy. They explain that other people don’t get them, blame them, and expect them to be something they’re not. Somehow life went from sometimes fun/sometimes boring to unmanageable and overwhelming. They talk about their family not caring and not really having friends. They struggle to communicate with pretty much everyone.
Before they came to me, they were feeling frustrated and alone, like they were losing grip on the things that made them feel most like themselves. They were pushing away everyone who could or wanted to help. Until they found a place to rediscover their worth and heal.
Like my clients, you deserve to enjoy your life again. You deserve a safe space to process whatever you’re going through- whether that’s preparing for college, changing relationships, or confronting painful past experiences. I’m here to help you figure out how to create and maintain that space.
Call now. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I can help.
