Counseling for College Students

Therapy for College Students' Issues

College can be an exciting time filled with new experiences, personal growth, and the pursuit of future goals. But it can also bring overwhelming stress, pressure to succeed, identity struggles, and mental health challenges that are hard to navigate alone.

Whether you're just starting your college journey or nearing graduation, it's common to feel anxious, uncertain, or isolated at times. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to sort through these feelings, gain clarity, and find healthy ways to manage stress.

Common Reasons College Students Seek Therapy:

• Anxiety related to academics, social life, or the future

• Depression and low motivation

• Stress and burnout

• Difficulty adjusting to college life or being away from home

• Identity exploration, including cultural, personal, or career identity

• Relationship or family conflicts

• Navigating perfectionism or impostor syndrome

• Trauma, including past experiences resurfacing in young adulthood

As someone who understands the complexities of transitioning between cultures, expectations, and environments (I moved from Puerto Rico to the U.S. as a teen), I bring a culturally aware and compassionate lens to our work together. Whether you’re first-generation, neurodivergent, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Therapy Can Help You:

• Learn effective coping skills to manage stress and emotions

• Feel more confident and grounded in your identity

• Improve your relationships and communication

• Set healthy boundaries and realistic goals

• Build resilience and self-compassion

I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR (when appropriate) to support your unique needs. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way of your growth and help you move forward with purpose and clarity.
