College and Young Adult Patients

College Students, Recent Graduates and Young Adults

We love providing therapy to college students, recent graduates and other young adults as they navigate the exciting and nerve-wracking transition from childhood to adulthood.

Our college-age clients often have social anxiety, worry about the future, struggle with perfectionism, experience relationship challenges with family and friends and have questions about their identity. We often work with young adults who had therapy in high school but did not previously find it helpful, often due to a lack of agency in picking their therapist, a misunderstanding or invalidation of their experiences, confidentiality disruptions or a lack of work on concrete coping skills and goals. We work hard to build trust with our clients and establish an environment where clients feel genuinely supported and able to advocate for what they need.

The therapists at our practice use a variety of therapy techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, attachment-based therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), goal-oriented therapy and mindfulness. These methods help our clients move toward a feeling of confidence, improved relationships and belief in their ability to handle any challenges that may come their way.
