Therapy for College Students and Young Adults

Leaving for college is a significant transition.

You’ve left home, stepping into a new chapter of your life. You’re recreating your identity in a completely unfamiliar environment – a new school or city.

You want to connect with people, make friends, and be liked. However, interactions with new friends can feel like a balancing act. Unlike your family and old friends who know your history, these new faces are getting to know you from scratch, piecing together who you are without the whole picture.

The pressure builds. You can feel the weight in your chest as you decide what to say and how much to share. What if they judge you? What if you say the wrong thing?

All you want is to feel confident in who you are. You want to walk into a room without overthinking, to feel proud of the person you’re becoming. You want to show up authentically without worrying about getting it “right.”

Therapy can make a difference in the transition.

Together, we’ll empower you to build yourself up and transform your messy feelings into magnetic ones.

By working on self-love, clear communication, and authenticity, you’ll become confident in your ability to claim who you are entirely.

You’ll feel relieved that it’s not about how others perceive you but how you see yourself.

And as you begin to own your choices and accept who you are, respect from others will naturally follow.

College is behind you now – What’s next?

The cap and gown are folded away, and the “What’s next?” weight presses down on you every morning.

You scroll through social media, watching friends get new jobs, start relationships, or travel, and wonder, “Why doesn’t any of this feel as exciting for me?”

You move through the day feeling like you’re drifting, unsure of what direction to take in this vast sea of opportunities.

One afternoon, you’re having coffee with a friend, and they casually mention their promotion. You nod and smile, but the doubt creeps inside – “Am I falling behind?” You want to stand out and make your mark, but a part of you also wants to find a place where you fit in and feel like you belong.

As you search for your purpose, the pressure to be “successful” grows louder. You long for that sense of accomplishment, the feeling of being truly valued for who you are and what you can contribute. The uncertainty feels overwhelming, and you only want to know you’re on the right path.

I got you – totally!

In therapy, we’ll focus on embracing and loving who you are without the pressure of having everything figured out.

Together, we’ll shift away from the burden of “needing” to have all the answers and ignite a genuine passion for life instead. From there, we’ll uncover your deepest desires and create a plan with small, intentional steps to help you build the fulfilling life you indeed long for.

I’ve helped many college students and young adults transition from disorganized to dazzling. It’s your turn now.
