Therapists for college students near Georgia State University

Hi, I’m Tamika Grimes, a licensed professional counselor with over 18 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and professionals through life’s challenges. I use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients understand how their thoughts impact their behaviors and guide them toward lasting change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to grow.

Beginning the process of therapy is a powerful step into understanding and developing the best self. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. People are influenced by a variety of factors that influence their personal values and behaviors. It is incredibly important for me to honor a person where they are at. I collaborate with clients to work towards goals that are meaningful for them. I draw from a variety of frameworks and therapeutic treatment modalities. Traditional Cognitive Behavior Therapy is empirically sound and an effective theoretical approach I utilize. I also draw techniques from DBT, Person Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. I am EMDR trained and utilize this modality for those clients who have experienced acute and complex trauma. EMDR is also indicated for clients who have tried traditional therapy and feel "stuck". EMDR can help shift change as clients sort through negative memories tied to negative self beliefs. I have had the privilege of working with a variety of concerns. Many of my clients have struggled with adjustment, relationship issues, trauma, depression and anxiety.

Hawk's Nest Counseling is nestled on an 11 acre hobby farm. We offer a unique setting incorporating Nigerian dwarf goats, chickens and cows as well as a therapy dog. All of the animals on the farm have been hand raised with therapeutic purposes in mind. Our clients have a unique opportunity to walk and talk on the nature trail, chat while walking a goat or just lounging in the variety of outdoor sitting spaces. Our three therapists offer a wide range of life and work experiences and an eclectic array of counseling approaches. If this feels like it might be a good fit for you, we welcome the opportunity to talk with you. Thank you for considering Hawk's Nest Counseling.

I believe in the power of connection and the counseling relationship can help you heal, grow, and find hope again.

I graduated from The University of Georgia in 2011 with my masters in counseling; I worked as a staff therapist, suicide prevention coordinator, and disability services coordinator at Georgia Southern University and East Georgia State College respectively before going into private practice. I'm passionate about helping college students as they juggle demands and make major relationship and career decisions - it is a unique and overwhelming stage of life. I'm located near Charleston where I'm offering sessions via telehealth to GA & SC residents. Counseling can help improve communication between loved ones, support individuals adjusting to major life transitions, or develop coping skills to better manage emotions that have become distressing. I'm grateful you had the courage to explore counseling. Life is stressful at times and we can all use a safe place to receive support and feedback. It is my belief that each person has inherent value, and my goal is to encourage individuals to see their worth and facilitate them in making decisions they can reflect on with peace.

Adjusting to college life can be filled with...well, a lot of emotions! If you are struggling with friends, adjusting to a new lifestyle, family conflict, eating concerns, or want to learn ways to cope with new levels of stress, then contact me today for your complimentary consultation.

I help women move through anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and life
transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re navigating career
shifts, relationship changes, or simply feel disconnected from who you are,
therapy can help you realign with your values, rebuild your self-trust, and
reclaim your sense of direction. In my work together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck—self-
criticism, perfectionism, unresolved grief, or limiting beliefs—and
transform those barriers into breakthrough moments. I’ll support you in
using your natural strengths to problem-solve, build self-awareness, and
take intentional steps toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling. As an introvert and a therapist, I deeply understand the internal worlds
many women carry quietly—feeling like you always have to “hold it
together” even when you’re unraveling inside. This space is designed for
you to safely unpack, reflect, and rebuild without judgment. Let’s work together to shift from self-doubt to self-assurance. You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and seen.

Life is hard. For many of us, we often become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, fear, you name it. To make things worse, we experience trauma and discover that some of our deepest wounds come from our relationships. Of course, we want to protect ourselves from relationships, change, and the unknown. I get that. From working in schools, residential facility, and private practice setting, I've learned that there is also something inside each of us that yearns for healing, loving connection, and pure joy. So, what is getting in the way? Let's explore that together. I have a non-judgmental and compassionate approach when providing counseling for individuals. What that means is I relate to you as another imperfect human being who understands the impact of trauma, life transitions, stress, anxiety and several other factors that affect our day-to-day lives. I will offer you a space to freely explore your struggles and opportunities for healing. Let’s be real, we don’t know each other and it’s going to feel weird at first to share your story with me. I thank you for even considering. Sometimes the hardest step is the first one. I recognize and respect that. Whenever you’re ready, I am ready to join you. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
