Therapy for College Students

My therapy services for college students are specifically tailored to address the diverse and complex issues that often arise during this transitional phase of life. College is a time of immense personal growth, exploration, and independence, but it can also bring about significant stress and uncertainty. From the demands of academic achievement and the pressure to succeed, to navigating new social dynamics, romantic relationships, and questions of identity, college life can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, or simply struggling to manage the many responsibilities that come with this stage of life, I am here to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space. Our sessions will focus on helping you develop effective coping mechanisms, manage stress, and cultivate resilience. Together, we will work on strategies to enhance your emotional well-being, enabling you to not only survive but thrive both academically and personally. My goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence to handle life's challenges with greater ease, ensuring that you can fully embrace the opportunities and growth that college has to offer.

College students may face a range of challenges that can be addressed through therapy, including:

  • Life transitions and the challenges of being a college student can feel overwhelming and uncertain. During this time, you might feel unprepared, anxious, or unsure of yourself or your future. You may even feel homesick which has surprised you! These shifts can bring up questions about your identity, priorities, and what truly matters, making it easy to feel stuck or off balance.

  • College life can bring intense pressure to juggle academics, work, social life, and personal responsibilities all at once. Struggling with time management, staying organized, or keeping up with academic demands can feel overwhelming and lead to stress, burnout, or self-doubt. Many students also worry about meeting expectations—both their own and others’—while trying to figure out who they are and what matters most. Read more.

  • Anxiety and perfectionism can look like overthinking every decision, needing things to be just right, or feeling uneasy when you’re not being productive. You might have trouble relaxing, fear making mistakes, or worry about letting others down—even when there’s no “logical” reason to. Read more.

  • Depression, low motivation, and burnout can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming and leave you feeling disconnected or drained. When work stress piles up—constant pressure, long hours, or never feeling like you can turn “off”—it can take a toll on your mood, energy, and sense of purpose. You might notice yourself withdrawing, losing interest in things you once enjoyed, or feeling like you’re running on empty. Read more.

  • Struggles with self-esteem, confidence, self-worth, and identity can leave you questioning who you are and what makes you enough. You might find yourself comparing to others, doubting your abilities, or feeling disconnected from your values and sense of direction. Over time, this can impact your relationships, goals, and overall well-being, making it hard to feel grounded in who you truly are. Read more.

  • Relational challenges and people-pleasing often go hand in hand. You might find yourself prioritizing others’ needs over your own, avoiding conflict, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace. Over time, this can lead to resentment, exhaustion, or losing touch with what you truly want. These patterns often stem from a deep desire for connection and acceptance, even when they come at your own expense. Read more.

  • Life transitions and the challenges of “adulting” can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Whether it’s starting a new job, moving, ending a relationship, or navigating major life changes, you might feel unprepared, anxious, or unsure of yourself. These shifts can bring up questions about your identity, priorities, and what truly matters, making it easy to feel stuck or off balance. Read more.
