COLLEGE STUDENTS

WHY THERAPY?

Your education is an enormous investment in your personal, intellectual, and professional future. It may be worth making the best of it. There are a lot of things that might blemish an otherwise great college experience:

​

  • Coping with depression, anxiety, or some other issue during college

  • Failing class, or not being able to manage your time & attention

  • Not being able to keep friends or romantic relationships

  • Feeling awkward and nervous at parties

  • Having panic attacks, test anxiety, or being unable to fall asleep

  • Feeling like everyone else knows themselves--but you don't

  • Having no clue what you want to major in

  • Not knowing what you want to do after college

  • Feeling like the smallest things set you off

  • Leaves of absence or not graduating with your friends

THERAPY FOR STUDENTS:

I used to work full-time at two top-tier universities: Boston University and Boston College. And I trained in college counseling centers in Texas and California before that. I have worked with hundreds of students to help them finish college—and to finish it well. I left college counseling due to the limitations of an on-campus clinic. The major limitation was one of resources: we served so many students that few students received the full care I thought each student deserved.

 

College counseling centers do their best given their Herculean task. However, if you want the best therapy for you (or for a student you care about), an independent clinician like myself may be able to provide the frequency and duration of treatment needed for lasting change. 

​

For many, therapy is one of the best ways to make college better.
