therapy for college and graduate students
HELPING STUDENTS MANAGE STRESS, IDENTITY, AND TRANSITIONS
Being a student isn’t just about school…
It’s a time of intense growth and change—personally, socially, and emotionally. Between academic pressure, shifting relationships, career uncertainty, and big questions about identity and purpose, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Student life can feel like a constant juggling act, and it’s okay to admit it’s a lot.
Therapy can be a space to pause, process, and figure things out. We’re here to help you navigate it all—with curiosity, support, and real tools to help you feel more grounded.
Why students start therapy
Even if things look fine from the outside, you might be feeling:
Anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out
Lonely or disconnected from friends or family
Unsure about your major, program, or career path
Stuck in comparison or perfectionism
Pressure to meet expectations—yours or others’
Like you’re constantly trying to “keep it together”
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you’re stressed, confused, or just need someone to talk to, that’s enough.
We can talk about…
Academic pressure and burnout
Imposter syndrome and self-doubt
Social anxiety and friendship dynamics
Family expectations and identity exploration
Life transitions, from undergrad to grad school and beyond
Anxiety, depression, and mood regulation
Relationships, dating, and boundary setting
managing stress and achieving balance
Student life comes with its own set of pressures—from personal expectations to emotional challenges. Having been in your shoes, we get it. Our virtual therapy sessions are tailored to support you through academic stress, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
Using approaches like CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy, we’ll adapt each session to meet your needs. Some weeks might focus on strategies; others, on reflection or simply having space to talk things through.
Together, we’ll figure out what’s most helpful and adjust as you go.

support during transitions
Whether you're away from home for the first time, navigating a rigorous graduate program, or juggling school with work and family, therapy offers space to process what you’re carrying. Together, we’ll explore how your environment, identity, past experiences, and current stressors are impacting you—and how to move forward with more clarity and support.
We’ll work at your pace and tailor therapy to your needs, whether that’s learning new coping strategies, improving self-esteem, managing relationships, or gaining insight into what’s really going on beneath the stress.

We work with college and graduate students navigating academic pressure and change; young professionals balancing ambition, identity, and relationships; women exploring self-worth, motherhood, or career shifts; and adults managing OCD, insomnia, or simply feeling overwhelmed.
