Therapy for College Students

Navigating the College Transition – Online Therapy for Young Adults

College Feels Different Than You Expected?

You finally have the freedom you’ve been waiting for—no curfews, no one checking up on your every move. But somehow, things still feel… hard. Maybe you thought leaving home would mean leaving specific challenges behind, only to realize they followed you.

  • You’re struggling to make close friends and feel isolated.

  • Your sleep schedule, eating habits, and self-care routines aren’t anything you’d imagine, and you don’t even have a structured schedule.

  • You miss having structure but don’t want to be micromanaged.

  • Not seeing your family daily is weird; your relationship with them feels different now.

  • You feel pressure to “thrive” in college but feel disconnected.

Therapy Can Help You Find Stability in the Chaos

College is a time of growth, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Working with a therapist can help you:

  • Build confidence in your independence.

  • Develop healthier habits in your everyday groove.

  • Navigate and understand friendships in a way that feels good for you.

  • Process family dynamics and set boundaries that may still affect you, even from a distance.

  • Manage stress so you can enjoy college.

  • Dealing with loneliness in college.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Therapy can be a space to explore and reflect in college; talking to someone about what is going on is okay; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re strong enough to seek support.
