Get extra support during your college years
Pursuing higher education and all that goes with it can be exciting! It can also come with an unexpected and challenging mix of emotions, experiences, and expectations. These may include harassment and discrimination, new sources of stress, the space and safety to heal from childhood trauma, stepping outside of your comfort zone, creating healthy boundaries, and much more.
If this describes you, you are not alone. More than 9 in 10 college students report that academic challenges negatively impact their mental health. In 2022, 25% of college students reported feeling isolated from others, 18% reported experiencing microaggressions, 12% reported experiencing sexual harassment, and 12% reported experiencing some form of discrimination. In 2023, 77% of college students experienced moderate to serious psychological distress. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts on college campuses have never been higher.
College students are under immense pressure and may feel discouraged about the future. But there is hope! Our therapists have experience helping college students feel like themselves again and use evidence-based methods to help guide them through this transition.
