Therapy for College Students

College is challenging for students and parents.

College students often face academic, social, and emotional challenges that can impact their well-being. Therapy provides vital support for navigating these difficulties, fostering resilience and success.

Parents must continuously adapt their approach when their child is in college, learning and growing alongside their children.

Embracing the parenting challenge involves understanding that there’s no definitive roadmap, only a journey of love and learning when supporting your child in college.

Navigating the complexities of raising a child can leave parents feeling like they could use a manual.

Matthew* and Kimberly* are dealing with emotional unrest.

Matthew questions his constant feelings of anxiety and contemplates seeking individual therapy for support.

Lately, his worries have interfered with his daily life, affecting his relationships and academic performance, prompting him to explore therapy to regain control.

Kimberly feels overwhelmed by college life and is considering whether therapy could provide guidance and relief.

Between balancing classes, extracurricular activities, and social pressures, she’s finding it hard to cope and seeks therapy as a safe space to navigate her challenges and emotions.

Therapy empowers individuals on a path of well-being.

Everyone comes to therapy seeking help for many issues. Therefore, I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet those specific needs.

As a therapist, I am committed to providing personalized support to meet the unique needs of individuals like Matthew and Kimberly.

For Matthew, who grapples with persistent anxiety affecting various aspects of his life, I offered a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to address his specific concerns. Through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Matthew explored and challenged his negative thought patterns, developing healthier coping strategies to manage his anxiety effectively. Additionally, I incorporated mindfulness techniques to help him cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress levels.

Similarly, for Kimberly, who feels overwhelmed by the demands of college life, I provided a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for her to express her feelings and explore her challenges.

Utilizing a person-centered approach, I worked collaboratively with Kimberly to identify her strengths and values, empowering her to make informed decisions and regain control. Moreover, I integrated Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements to equip Kimberly with practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, enabling her to navigate academic and social pressures with greater resilience and clarity.

I aim to support Matthew and Kimberly’s journey toward improved well-being and enhanced coping skills.

Don’t let college overwhelm you.

The first step is contacting me, and then I will start helping to make the journey more manageable for you.

Upon contacting me, individuals will schedule an initial consultation to discuss their concerns, assess their needs, and determine the most appropriate course of action. This consultation provides an opportunity to establish rapport and ensure a good fit for therapy.

After the initial consultation, we will schedule regular therapy sessions based on the individual’s availability and preferences. Flexible scheduling options are available to accommodate busy college schedules.

Before each therapy session, individuals will receive confirmation of their appointment along with any necessary reminders. This confirmation helps ensure that you don’t miss appointments and that individuals can prioritize their mental health needs.

Parents and college students can contact me via phone or email to inquire about scheduling an appointment.
