Therapy for College Students
AGES 18-21
College Students
You are now a college student and have started a new chapter in your life. You are legally an adult – but you are not exactly “adulting” yet.
You have heard a lot of people say that the college years are some of the best years in life. So far, being in college has been pretty overwhelming for you. Being away from your family and friends has been harder than you expected. You miss your bed, your dog, your mom’s cooking, sometimes even your annoying little brother.
You don’t know anybody in your classes. You have roommates but they have their own friends and one of them you never even see come out of their room.
Managing all your classes has been a struggle. You either forget to do your assignments, oversleep and get to class late and always end up stressed out cramming for exams. Lately, you are starting to wonder if you picked the right major. You are not really sure what you want to do for the rest of your life. You haven’t said much to your parents because you don’t want to worry them or disappoint them.
Adjusting to college life demands can be difficult and affect not only your grades but more importantly, your mental health.
Going to college is a huge life transition. It’s not uncommon for college students to experience a variety of mental health challenges along with this big change. We see students who struggle with stress management, adjusting to being away from family, ADHD, anxiety and depression, self-esteem and loneliness and more.
You are not alone and you do not have to go through this alone.
College campuses offer counseling services but some students prefer the option of private counseling. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. After all, this is the person you are going to be opening up to and trusting with some deep stuff.
We provide college students (ages 18-21) counseling support with the process of adjusting to college life and the transition into adulthood. A lot has changed over the years and a lot has happened in our Stress management
OUR APPROACH TO WORKING WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS
In therapy, we help young adult clients feel more confident in themselves and manage stress better. They learn to connect with new friends, developed better time management, start their first jobs, and begin healthier relationships.
Therapy goals are set by you, you decide what areas you want to work on. We use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) which is evidence-based to treat anxiety and depression. However, I also believe it is important to reflect on early life experiences because they do impact our adult life. Our attachment styles in relationships usually stem from our relationships with our parents.
At your age you now have more self-awareness and insight, you can successfully change unhealthy patterns now with the help of therapy. You are finally in charge of your life and counseling can offer the support you need as you pave your new path. If you want to make some changes and work on some things, We are ready to help!
