Therapy for College Students
College is a major transition, and it can feel like a lot. Therapy can help you feel more grounded in the middle of it.
Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, managing academic pressure, feeling homesick, navigating friendships or dating, or trying to figure out who you are and what you want, college can bring a mix of freedom, stress, and uncertainty. You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or emotionally stuck underneath it all.
Therapy is a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and build tools that support you in everyday life.
Common Reasons College Students Come to Therapy
• Anxiety, overthinking, or panic
• Academic stress and performance pressure
• Burnout, procrastination, or lack of motivation
• Homesickness or difficulty adjusting to college life
• Friendship stress, loneliness, or feeling disconnected
• Dating relationships, breakups, or communication issues
• Low self-esteem or constant self-comparison
• Identity questions, faith struggles, or uncertainty about the future
• Depression, isolation, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed
What Therapy Can Look Like in College
You do not have to have everything figured out to start. Our work will be collaborative — I’ll meet you where you are and help you build insight and tools that fit your life.
In therapy, we might:
• Explore what is contributing to anxiety, burnout, sadness, or stress
• Identify unhelpful thought patterns and shift them using tools from CBT
• Build emotional regulation and coping strategies for everyday challenges
• Work through relationship dynamics, boundaries, and communication
• Process identity, faith, or life-direction questions
• Create more balance, self-trust, and confidence as you navigate this season
It is not about having the “right” answers. It is about making space for what is real and helping you move forward with more clarity and support.
A Space That Feels Grounding
My office is designed to feel warm, calm, and comfortable, not clinical or intimidating. You’re welcome to grab a cozy blanket, use something from the "comfort menu," or just take a breath before we get started.
Prefer to meet online? I also offer virtual sessions via Zoom for California residents.
