Atlanta Trauma Therapist for Young Adults
You’ve tried to move forward.
But something keeps pulling you back.
You’ve been trying to move forward, but something keeps pulling you back.
The overthinking. The anxiety. The way your past keeps showing up in your present. You’ve tried to manage it on your own, but it’s not really changing.
At some point, pushing through stops working. And you’re ready to understand what’s actually going on.
Start getting answers, not just managing symptoms.

This Work Is About Understanding, Not Just Coping
You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.
Therapy gives you a space to slow down and make sense of what your mind and body have been holding onto.
Together, we focus on:
-
- Understanding your experiences and emotional patterns
- Recognizing how your past is shaping your present
- Building tools to manage anxiety and stress
- Reconnecting with your sense of self and direction
You are not defined by what you’ve been through. But it deserves to be understood.
Hi! I’m Aijalon Carter
As a counselor in training, I work with young adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with have learned to keep going, even when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves.
In our work together, we focus on helping you understand how your past is impacting your present, build awareness of your thoughts and emotions while developing tools to manage what you’re carrying. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, more confident in your decisions, and more connected to who you are becoming.
Areas of Focus
- Anxiety
- Attachment Patterns
- Depression
- Trauma
- Identity and Personal Growth
- Life Transitions
- Relationship Issues
- Self-Esteem and Confidence
Credentials
- Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Lagrange College

My Approach to Trauma Therapy
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and centered on your lived experience.
We move at your pace, creating a space where you can explore what you’ve been carrying without pressure or judgment.
In our work together, you’ll:
- Identify patterns shaped by past experiences
- Learn how to stay present and grounded
- Reframe the way you see yourself and your story
- Develop tools to manage emotions, stress, and relationships
This work helps you feel more in control of your life, not controlled by what you’ve been through.
What’s been confusing doesn’t have to stay that way.
We can work through the patterns, the reactions, and the parts of your story that still feel unresolved.
FAQs About Sliding Scale Therapy With An Intern
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our therapy services. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us directly.
Will I meet with the same intern for each session?
Yes. We believe that the relationship between you and your therapist is an important factor in your progress. Your comfort with the intern will allow you to focus on yourself while obtaining the skills you need to thrive.
How often will I attend sessions?
We cannot guarantee a specific time frame for services since the therapeutic process is tailored to each individual. We do ask that you commit to 6-8 consecutive sessions before realistically evaluating the effectiveness of therapy. You and your therapist will collaborate to determine what frequency of sessions is most appropriate to reach your goals.
What happens at the end of internship?
Interns contract with the program for a minimum of one year of service. Once that contract is complete, the student may leave the practice. At that time, you will be offered services with another therapist if you wish to continue. Schedule permitting, that therapist may be the supervisor of the intern such that you may have a smooth transition between therapists. We can also provide referrals to therapists outside the practice if necessary.
Interns will not accept new clients if less than two months are remaining in their internship.
What is the cost of sliding scale therapy sessions?
Interns offer sliding scale rates of $50 – $100 per session for individuals and $70 – $150 for couples. These reduced fee sessions are an excellent choice if your circumstances require low-cost therapy services.
