College Students & Young Adult Therapy

Are you a college student or in your 20’s and find yourself struggling with your mental health?

Perhaps the stress of your course load or transitioning from living at home has caused you some stress?

Do you find yourself having more stress than you wanted or figuring out what your next steps in your life bothering you?

Many of our clinicians have a special interest in working with college students and young adults during these important transition years. Our therapists are adept at helping young adults explore identity concerns, work on setting healthy boundaries in relationships with peers and romantic partners, and manage major life transitions before, during, and after college.

Your college years and twenties are filled with challenges and major life transitions that can be quite distressing. There are demanding academic and professional responsibilities as well as interpersonal conflicts that can all feel overwhelming.

Some other common struggles you may be facing are:

  • Difficulty managing stress (Often leading to panic and anxiety attacks) 

  • Struggles managing emotions 

  • Difficulty with relationships (Friends, family, and peers)  

  • Perfectionism tendencies and negative self-talk 

  • Study habits not being as effective as you may want them to be

  • Confusion on what the next steps are for your life

How Therapy can help

Therapy can help you in so many ways, your therapist will spend one or more sessions learning about you in order to develop a treatment strategy — based on your goals, not theirs. Your therapist then may ask you to experiment with new behaviors, and new ways of thinking and communicating.
Here are a few ways that therapy with a professional therapist can help you.

  • Clarifying a problem

  • Managing anxiety about class work, socially, or transitioning into adulthood

  • Improving personal skills to have better relationships with peers/roomates

  • Exploring opportunities for change in whatever way that may be

  • Developing increased confidence, increased sense of self, and who you want to be

  • Coping with depression, and any other emotional or relational concerns you may have

During therapy, you can expect to experience a wide range of feelings:

  • Safety and acceptance

  • Discomfort, anxiety or sadness as you face certain truths

  • Profound insights about yourself

  • Hope as you begin to conquer feelings

  • Elation as therapy unleashes power you didn’t realize you have

Coming to therapy to better understand yourself and the issues you face can really be transformative. Therapy is really what you want it to be, working on your goals, finding yourself, and resolving your most personal issues.
