I support people who feel overwhelmed by stress, conflict, or self-doubt, and I bring a steady, practical approach shaped by years of clinical work and my commitment to understanding how people grow and change.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience providing clinical care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma histories, emotional regulation challenges, and strained family relationships. Many clients seek support during major life transitions or want help understanding patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is practical, goal-oriented, and focused on steady progress.
I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Thomas University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and a direct, structured approach. I help clients build emotional control, reduce avoidance, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, with experience supporting trauma-related stress, anxiety, and family conflict.
You deserve support that feels steady, respectful, and focused on what matters most to you. I provide an environment where experiences are taken seriously, goals are clearly defined, and progress continues between sessions. If you are ready to work toward meaningful change at a pace that fits your needs, I welcome you to reach out and begin the work together.

As a woman of color who has struggled with ADHD her entire life, I understand how life changing getting the help we need to change our life can be, and I would love to help you on your journey back to yourself.
Hi, I’m Tanya Lorenzi, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience, licensed in both Georgia and South Carolina. I specialize in working with women navigating ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they’ve lost a sense of who they are. My work focuses on helping them reconnect with themselves, build emotional clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel grounded, confident, and like themselves again.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate evidence-based methods like EMDR alongside practical tools to help clients process painful experiences, regulate emotions, and move forward with greater clarity. Clients can expect a supportive space that balances depth, structure, and compassion.
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale — where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and create meaningful change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

Therapy for students helps with a range of challenges from normal struggles that come with moving from childhood to adulthood to challenges that stem from academic pressures and stress. If a student is suffering — whether they’re feeling moody, anxious, discouraged, or experiencing relationship issues — they can benefit from talking to a provider at Thriveworks in Savannah, GA.
Therapy for students works by helping them learn from their experiences and develop healthy tools for dealing with difficult circumstances. When they meet with Thriveworks Savannah therapists, they can trust that they’ll receive a treatment plan that is personalized to their challenges and needs.
Therapy for students at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of therapy for students depends on the individual’s needs as well as the goals that they might have. That said, generally, therapy for students will last for several months.
School should be a time to get excited about the future and prepare for your best life. And while this remains true for some, for others school is a very different reality. It comes with extraordinary amounts of pressure and the risk for unhealthy mental health.
There are so many ways for students to learn, grow, and have fun. But with more of these opportunities comes more opportunities to “fail” by society’s standards. Nowadays, students are expected to have healthy relationships, do well in academics, and fill their time with extracurriculars that will launch them into the next phase of life. Along with that, there’s the peer pressure of drugs, bad habits, and fitting in. No wonder student’s mental health declines during the school year!
Thriveworks Savannah works to take some of the pressure off of students and teach them techniques to keep them healthy and thriving.
Difficulty is apart of growing up. It can even be beneficial to their development. But when is it too much? It’s a tricky balance, especially when you’re an adult and can’t distinguish normal student stress and mood swings from something more dangerous. Thriveworks Savannah is here to walk you through some options and decide on the next best steps.
Usually, when the struggles become prolonged, it becomes dangerous. Being stressed the night before a test is normal. Being every night for two weeks before a test is not. It can start to impact all parts of their life in negative ways that they don’t deserve. Counseling for students is one way that students can be heard and learn healthy coping methods for current situations, past pains, or future worries.
Thriveworks Savannah Counseling for Students is open to any topic. There’s never too-big or too-small reason for counseling, all are welcome! If we aren’t the best fit for you and your student, we can help you find the person who is. Your student deserves to have a happy, fulfilling life. We are determined to help them get there!
Sometimes, students will withdraw when they’re struggling, making the decision to reach out even more difficult. Thank you for having the courage to do so! To help you, here are a few signs that could point towards an unhealthy mental state.
Thriveworks Savannah strives to make all our Student Counseling sessions unique. In part because the student’s struggles are always unique, and in part because they are always unique!
Our counselors will also always keep the focus of the session on your student, they are the most important person in the room. We meet you where you’re at and work from there. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, there is always hope.
Some of the issues we might address in a Counseling for Students session include:
At times, it can feel like the only way to have a happy, fulfilling life is to grind through school and just take whatever life throws at you. But your student also deserves to be healthy and happy in their day-to-day life. It won’t always be perfect, but it shouldn’t be miserable either! If you or your student could benefit from Student Counseling, give us a call today. Thriveworks Savannah is excited to start building the life you deserve!
