Therapists for college students near 53715
I work with individuals who are managing multiple responsibilities and expectations but feel like they’re quietly falling apart under the pressure to hold everything together. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life who are navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, or major life changes. They’re looking for a space to slow down, feel truly seen, and learn tools to cope more effectively. They want relief, clarity, and a path forward that feels more sustainable and aligned with who they are. My clients want therapy that is modern, accessible, and holistic from a provider who is experienced and relatable.
College can be an exciting and transformative time, but it can also be overwhelming. Many students navigate academic pressure, shifting relationships, financial stress, identity exploration, and expectations that can feel impossible to meet. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, burnout, or simply feeling lost or disconnected, you deserve support that meets you where you are. My practice offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space for college students to slow down, reflect, and understand what they’re experiencing. I work collaboratively with students to navigate both personal and systemic challenges common in higher education—especially for those who feel marginalized, misunderstood, or stretched thin. Together, we focus on strengthening coping strategies, regulating stress, building self-trust, and reconnecting to your goals and values. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in both clinical expertise and real-world experience supporting young adults. Therapy is not about “fixing” you; it’s about helping you feel more stable, empowered, and connected as you move through school and life. I welcome undergraduate, graduate, and returning students from all backgrounds, including those balancing school with work, caregiving, or recovery. You don’t have to navigate this chapter alone—support is here when you’re ready.
Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since starting my career in 2015, I have worked in community-based mental health, private practice, schools and hospitals. Since 2021, I have primarily worked in tele-health, so I am well versed in making virtual sessions as comfortable and productive as possible. Before becoming a therapist, I played college volleyball. When I think of the most difficult times in my life, transitioning from high school to college is near the top. Trying to juggle living on my own (being homesick), college classes and a full-time volleyball schedule was no joke. I struggled with Depression and I wish I would have had someone to talk to, someone to help me adjust to this crazy time in my life. I want to be that person for others just like me. I’ve worked with children and adults dealing with life-changing situations, such as Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. However, I believe that therapy is for everyone, so even if you don’t feel you are dealing with severe issues, I also assist clients with stress, self-esteem issues, coping with general life changes, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, communication issues and coaching.
If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or self-esteem issues related to school or other life concerns, you are not alone, and I'm here to help! I am passionate about providing support for female college students (teens and young adults) to work through these issues and discover your ability to overcome the challenges you are facing. I believe you are the expert of your life and that therapy should be a place where you feel safe to explore, express, and enjoy yourself. Because of this, my role is to guide you along the way with use of effective techniques, a fresh perspective, compassion, humor, and absolutely no judgment to help you create growth, understanding, and lasting change. I am currently accepting new clients for groups only. Each group is no more than 6 young adult women who are all experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress. If you're interested in joining, email me today!
My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate methodologies and techniques of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding I work to create a safe and trusting environment for individuals to share their inner most thoughts and feelings. I will also meet each individual where they are in life and to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. Through psychotherapy you will be able to create a balance in your life on a mental, emotional, physical and interpersonal level. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from depression, anxiety and grief counseling to academic issues to family dynamics and beyond. An area of focus I have is working with women who have had unsuccessful/unhealthy or codependent relationships with men. I have assisted women in developing a healthier sense of themselves by developing a greater sense of their own identity and less of an identity defined by their relationships. Along with areas of healthy boundary setting, focusing on developing personal goals and positive cognitions regarding themselves, they have developed healthier and more fulfilling relationships with men and a more positive sense of themselves. I also work with individuals dealing with compulsive behavior of sex and/or pornography use. Together we work to find the underlying root causes of the behaviors and then to find healthier ways to cope and deal with those urges/desires in the present. The individual will also focus on developing a healthier sense of self along with healthier boundaries, emotional awareness of needs and a more appropriate style communicating needs and wants to others.
Therapy can help you: -Set and maintain healthy boundaries -Identify and address the roots of anxiety in your life -Put yourself first -Feel more confident in yourself -Gain new perspectives -Tap into your “coping toolbox” (what's working for you now or in the past?) -Add more tools to your “toolbox”
I work with teens and young adults who are facing depression, anxiety, confusion about their identity, urges toward self-harm or suicidal thoughts. You might feel overwhelmed, unsafe inside your own skin, or unsure how to speak about what you are experiencing. Perhaps mood swings, stress, or parts of yourself feel too heavy or too hard to share. In the midst of inner chaos and pain it can feel like you are completely alone. I want you to know that you are not alone and I am ready to listen. I am ready to support you through these challenges so you can feel more confident, safe, and capable to handle what life brings. I use a strengths based, compassionate approach that honors you as a whole person. In our sessions I draw on evidence based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while offering validation, gentle challenge, empathy and occasional humor. Together we explore what hurts, what is possible, and build practical coping skills and emotional tools for change. Through our work you may gain more confident, function better with daily living skills, and feel safer. You may gain insight into yourself, utilize coping skills, and reduce suffering. Over time you can grow toward greater stability, self-acceptance, and hope. You can click on my link to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation or to book a session. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
Therapist & A Couch is dedicated to creating space for healing. Welcome to my profile! As an existential-humanistic therapist, I believe that the search for meaning and purpose is central to our human experience. I approach therapy with a deep respect for each individual's unique journey and the complexity of their inner world. My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and transformation, and that therapy can help us tap into that potential. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I prioritize the exploration of the big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? What gives my life meaning? Through this exploration, we can begin to gain insight into our deepest desires and fears, and develop a greater sense of authenticity and connection. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness, experiential therapy, and the interpersonal process, to help clients deepen their self-awareness and increase their capacity for emotional expression. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a key factor in successful therapy outcomes. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out and start your journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.
At Inner Edge Psychotherapy, I help students and young adults navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions, drawing on over 14 years as a school counselor and 3 years in private therapy practice. Whether you’re adjusting to college, managing relationships, or facing a specific challenge, I provide support that fits your needs—including single-session therapy for students who want help with one issue without committing to ongoing care. Together, we use practical strategies and mind‑body techniques to help you feel calmer, more in control, and ready to tackle life’s ups and downs. If you’re looking for a safe space to gain clarity, build resilience, and find balance—even in just one session—you’ll feel at home here.
Feeling swamped with everything on your plate? Between academics, deadlines, relationships, home life, part-time work, studying, and making tough choices, the list feels endless. Sometimes that sense of overwhelm can push you to try harder, or it can make you want to stay in bed all day. Skipping classes, avoiding people, not wanting to bother anyone—these can be signs it’s time to ask for help. I’m here for you, even if you’re unsure, and I hope to offer some guidance and support.
The students I work best with are often balancing a lot at once. They may be trying to keep up with classes, work, family responsibilities, relationships, or uncertainty about their future while also managing stress, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt. Many of the students I see are high-achieving and hardworking, but underneath the surface they feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or like they're carrying more than other people realize. Some are adjusting to college life, navigating major life transitions, or trying to figure out who they are and what they want for themselves. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, academic stress, confidence, or simply feeling lost, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself and develop tools to move forward. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, explore what's getting in the way, and build the skills and confidence needed to thrive both in college and beyond.

I am the founder of Ascend Mentoring and Counseling, a practice built to serve as a supportive launchpad for individuals navigating high-pressure transitions, identity development, and the overwhelming weight of expectation. College and early adulthood are times of incredible growth, but they can also bring intense anxiety, stress, and moments of feeling completely lost.

My therapeutic style is relaxed, warm, adaptive, and collaborative—often utilizing a healthy dose of humor to keep our work grounded and human.

Adjusting to college life is hard, making new friends, new relationships, new freedoms away from family, or finally discovering who you truly are doesn't come without growing pains.

You deserve to feel happy, self assured, confident, and proud of the path you're on. I'd love to help you on your journey to being your most confident self! Your problems aren't too big or small for therapy. I can help! Reach out today, and let's get started.
