Colin Thomas

As the Adolescent Addiction Counselor at Caron Atlanta Outpatient Treatment Center, Colin Thomas provides a collaborative setting for teens dealing with substance use and co-occurring issues. Using a person-centered perspective coupled with cognitive behavioral techniques and Gestalt principles, he provides individual counseling, facilitates group therapy, offers psychoeducation, and coordinates case management and aftercare services.

Before joining Caron in 2021, Colin was a counselor at another treatment center where he worked with a range of populations first as an intern and then as an employee for a year and a half.

He is a national certified counselor. He has a Master of Science in clinical mental health counseling from Georgia State University and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, with a minor in addiction and recovery, from the University of Alabama.

Being able to administer care to teens at a period of life that is so developmentally significant gives our patients the best chance at building the coping skills, emotional strength and resilience, and interpersonal communication that will be the foundation for their adult lives in recovery.”
