The Unique Therapy Needs of College Students
College students face a distinct set of emotional and psychological challenges that often differ from those experienced earlier in life. This period frequently involves increased independence, major life transitions, academic and athletic performance pressure, and evolving relationships with family, professors, peers, and romantic partners.
Many students seek therapy to address concerns such as stress management, anxiety, depression, identity development, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or difficulty balancing responsibilities. Others may be coping with past trauma, grief, or ongoing mental and physical health conditions while trying to meet the demands of school. Therapy provides space to explore these experiences, gain insight into patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating to oneself and others.
