Therapy for College Students: Counseling to Help You Navigate College Life
Providing therapy for young adults and college students facing anxiety, academic pressure, life transitions, and mental health challenges.
College can be exciting- but it can also feel overwhelmingly lonely, or uncertain. You may be juggling intense academic pressure, relationships changes, identity exploration, and questions about the future, all while trying to manage day-to-day life on your own for the first time.
As a therapist, I work with college students who are struggling to cope, looking for clarity, or simply wanting a space to talk and be heard. You don’t have to have everything figured out—therapy is a place to sort through the chaos and reconnect with who you are and what matters to you.
What Makes College So Challenging?
College is a time of transition—academically, socially, emotionally, and personally. For many students, it’s the first time living away from home or feeling fully responsible for their own lives. The pressure to succeed, maintain relationships, and plan a future can easily become overwhelming.
Some common reasons college students seek therapy include:
Academic stress, procrastination, or burnout
Anxiety, social anxiety, or panic attacks
Depression or feeling unmotivated and disconnected
Relationship struggles, breakups, or loneliness
Identity questions and self-esteem concerns
Family expectations or conflict
Difficulty adjusting to independence
Grief or past trauma resurfacing
Career fears and future uncertainty
These challenges are common—and valid. It doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. Therapy can help you make space for your feelings, gain perspective, and find healthier ways to move forward.
How I Help
My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you can be yourself—where you don’t have to impress anyone, perform, or hide what you’re really feeling.
In therapy, I’ll help you:
Manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Build emotional resilience and healthy coping skills
Work through self-doubt, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome
Explore your identity, values, and sense of self
Improve communication and boundaries in relationships
Navigate grief, trauma, or life transitions
Feel more empowered in your choices and future direction
My work is always tailored to your individual needs, whether you’re looking for short-term support or a longer space to explore deeper patterns and growth.
Therapy That Fits Your Life
I understand how hectic student life can be. I offer flexible scheduling and a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment—whether we’re meeting in person or virtually. You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes, just having a space to breathe, reflect, and feel supported can make all the difference.
I also have experience working with:
First-generation college students
LGBTQ+ students navigating identity and belonging
Students managing chronic illness or mental health diagnoses
Those who are highly driven but struggling silently
Students returning to school after a break or major life event
