Therapy for College Students

Online and In-Person Therapy for College Students

Supporting College Students Through Life’s Challenges

College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery, but it also comes with unique challenges. Balancing academic pressures, social life, personal identity, and future career concerns can feel overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, academic struggles, relationship issues, or simply adjusting to college life, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to thrive.

At my practice, I offer both online and in-person therapy tailored to the needs of college students. With flexible scheduling options, you can easily fit therapy into your busy life, whether you prefer meeting in person at my Redondo Beach office or from the convenience of your dorm or apartment through online counseling.

Why College Students Seek Therapy:

• Academic Stress: College often brings the pressure to perform well academically, meet deadlines, and manage a heavy workload. This can lead to high levels of stress, burnout, and anxiety.

• Social Anxiety: Forming new friendships, adjusting to new social environments, and fitting in can be stressful, leading many college students to struggle with social anxiety.

• Time Management and Burnout: Juggling classes, extracurricular activities, work, and personal time can feel impossible. Therapy can help you manage your time better and avoid burnout.

• Self-Esteem and Identity Issues: College is a time of self-discovery. You may find yourself questioning who you are, how you fit in, or struggling with body image and self-esteem.

• Relationship and Dating Challenges: Navigating relationships with roommates, friends, or romantic partners can bring up conflicts, misunderstandings, and emotional stress.

• Loneliness and Isolation: Many students experience feelings of loneliness, homesickness, or a sense of not belonging, even when surrounded by others.

• Depression and Mental Health Concerns: If you're feeling persistently sad, unmotivated, or disconnected from your usual activities, therapy can help you address these emotions and regain your sense of well-being.

• Life Transitions and Uncertainty: The transition to college and planning for post-graduation life can create uncertainty, anxiety, and feelings of being lost. Therapy can provide clarity and direction during these times.

How Therapy Can Help You Thrive:

Therapy for college students is designed to address these common challenges and provide you with tools to thrive both academically and personally. Through therapy, you’ll develop:

• Coping Skills: Learn techniques to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and deal with overwhelming situations.

• Time Management Strategies: Discover how to balance academics, social life, and self-care effectively.

• Emotional Resilience: Build your emotional strength to face challenges head-on and bounce back from setbacks.

• Improved Relationships: Learn healthy communication skills and ways to navigate conflicts in friendships, dating, and family dynamics.

• Greater Self-Esteem: Develop a more positive self-image and a stronger sense of self-worth.

• Clarity for the Future: Explore your goals, values, and aspirations, and find a path that feels meaningful to you.

With a busy schedule, finding time for self-care can be difficult, which is why we offer flexible scheduling for both online and in-person therapy. If you’re local to the Redondo Beach area, you can meet in our welcoming office just steps from the beach in Riviera Village.
