Counseling for College Students
We can look into accommodations you may need to support your school work. I can help you understand your learning style to support your ability to be successful in school.
Find ways to use facts about your brain to support your success in school.
Establish ways to support you and your experience of breaking into new territory as you navigate these big changes.
Support you as you shift generational cycles. Maybe education feels like a way out for you or a way for you to change the life for you and your loved ones. We can see what you need to be able to break generational cycles while still respecting your values.
imagine if you COULD…
find a way to lessen the stress around homework and exams?
work through feelings of anxiety so that you can be present with friends, roommates, or activities.
understand what your expectations were for college and make changes so that you can feel like you belong at school.
boost your confidence so that you can enjoy your experience or advocate for your needs when something goes wrong.

Common questions about counseling for college students
-
We honor flexibility and know that students sometimes need to shift their schedules around.
Some students like to have their counseling sessions be at the same time every or every other week. Other students like to schedule as they go.
Through the client portal (available 24/7) you can schedule your appointments as needed. We ask if you need to cancel, please let us know 24 hours in advance. 🙂
Sessions are typically 50 minutes long.
80 minute sessions are available upon request.

Great question!
Accommodations are adjustments that can be made to help students become successful at school.
Accommodations look differently for everyone and are based on a variety of factors such as mental health and learning differences.
Here are some examples of school accommodations:
Ability to audio record lectures
Quiet room for tests
Get an assigned note taker
Extended time for exams
School books converted into audio books

Sessions are organized around your personality. Some clients like more structure and others prefer flexibility.
For clients who are more structured we decide on a session format together. Some clients come in and they know exactly what they want to talk about, they have specific goals in mind, and a layout feels safe to them. In cases like this, sessions are more organized and can include homework if that feels right.
For clients who like flexibility and want to process what is top of mind, sessions are kept open so that there is room for whatever feels most pressing.
There is also room for a mixture of both. If you have something in mind that you want to focus on, wonderful. If you want a more open session, great!
