Therapy for
College & Graduate Students
College and grad school were never meant to feel like a nonstop pressure cooker…
But for many students, that’s exactly what it becomes. Between the deadlines, expectations, endless decisions about the future, and the quiet fear of “What if I mess this up?”, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
On top of all that, there’s the pressure to keep up: maintaining friendships, showing up socially even when you’re exhausted, navigating group and lab dynamics, trying to fit in, and somehow managing to look like you’re doing great while juggling everything behind the scenes. It’s a lot, even if you don’t talk about it out loud.
If you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or OCD on top of all this, the weight can feel even heavier. You might look like you're doing fine from the outside, getting the grades, showing up, keeping it together, but internally, it feels like you’re constantly one step away from spiraling.
You deserve support that understands the reality of this season of life.
What We Address
Confront the anxiety that won’t shut off.
The worry that follows you from lecture halls to late nights, making it hard to focus, sleep, or turn your brain off long enough to feel like yourself.
Recalibrate the perfectionism that leaves you exhausted and and feeling like a failure.
High standards are one thing… feeling like you’re never good enough (even when you’re doing everything) is another.
Manage the burnout that hits harder than you expected (especially when exams hit).
That mix of mental fatigue, irritability, and “I can’t keep doing this” that can show up even when you care deeply about what you’re studying.
Handle the intrusive thoughts that nobody talks about.
Whether it’s doom spirals, thoughts of failures, rituals of studying, or mental loops, you don’t have to get stuck in them.
Ease the pressure to keep up socially.
Navigating friendships, dating, and roommate dynamics while feeling a constant pull to do more — be more social, more involved, more connected — even when your plate is already full.
How Therapy Helps
Together, we slow things down, sort through what’s driving your stress, and build practical tools to manage anxiety, challenge perfectionism, set boundaries, improve social balance, and create a healthier rhythm in your life. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and ERP, we focus on helping you feel grounded, capable, and more in control, even when life is full.
Therapy is a space for you to show up exactly as you are. Confused, overwhelmed, ambitious, stressed, hopeful, or somewhere in between and learn how to navigate this chapter without sacrificing your mental health, grades, or your social life along the way.
