Therapists for college students near 53715

I am a licensed therapist who works with college students navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. The college years can bring pressure, uncertainty, and big identity shifts, and I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, using evidence-based strategies like CBT to help you build practical coping skills and move toward your goals with greater confidence and clarity.

I work with individuals who are managing multiple responsibilities and expectations but feel like they’re quietly falling apart under the pressure to hold everything together. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life who are navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, or major life changes. They’re looking for a space to slow down, feel truly seen, and learn tools to cope more effectively. They want relief, clarity, and a path forward that feels more sustainable and aligned with who they are. My clients want therapy that is modern, accessible, and holistic from a provider who is experienced and relatable.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/complex PTSD, life transitions such as being in college, addiction, and chronic pain. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take the next step toward healing. I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to your unique needs. Depending on your goals, we may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic work, Rogerian Therapy, motivational interviewing, or other evidence-based practices. I have a down-to-earth, gentle style and the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering tools, insight, and encouragement as you move toward growth and relief. I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen the profound changes that happen when people are given the space and support to heal.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals. I have experience assisting people in working on mood and anxiety disorders, grief and identity exploration.

Hey, I’m Lexi! I’m a therapist who helps college students heal their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. If you're exhausted by the pressure to have it all together—or to shrink yourself (your body, your voice, your needs)—you’re not alone. You deserve support that actually gets it. At Innerbloom Counseling, I help you untangle the messy stuff like disordered eating, comparison spirals, or feeling totally disconnected from yourself, and work toward a life where you feel more grounded, more whole, and more you. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone where you get to be real, go deep, and reconnect with the parts of you that might’ve been pushed aside. If you’re ready to feel more at home in your body and your life, I’d love to support you.

I help college students cope with mental health challenges that get in the way of school and relationships. Having too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck. Using practical (and fun!) research-validated strategies, you’ll learn to harness your self-control as a strength and break free from patterns that burn you out. Finding a therapist who gets you can be stressful. Let’s make this process easier for you: email me, call me, or visit waveways.org, and we’ll schedule a free consultation to discuss your hopes and needs.

Welcome! I am Steve Wille, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience specializing in the unique mental health needs of college students, young adults, and teenagers. I am the founder of Ascend Mentoring and Counseling, a practice built to serve as a supportive launchpad for individuals navigating high-pressure transitions, identity development, and the overwhelming weight of expectation. College and early adulthood are times of incredible growth, but they can also bring intense anxiety, stress, and moments of feeling completely lost. Whether you are a student-athlete struggling with performance anxiety, a young adult trying to define who you want to be, or someone simply trying to find your footing in a new chapter of life, my goal is to help you build real-world resilience. My therapeutic style is relaxed, warm, adaptive, and collaborative—often utilizing a healthy dose of humor to keep our work grounded and human. I draw from Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to ensure you leave sessions not just feeling heard, but equipped with actionable strategies. Ascend Mentoring and Counseling is a strictly confidential, identity-affirming, and safe space for all individuals, including LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities. Let's move forward with confidence.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, providing therapy services since 2019. I work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, stress, or PTSD. I use Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Equine Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My style is warm and will help you to create and meet your goals.

If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or self-esteem issues related to school or other life concerns, you are not alone, and I'm here to help! I am passionate about providing support for female college students (teens and young adults) to work through these issues and discover your ability to overcome the challenges you are facing. I believe you are the expert of your life and that therapy should be a place where you feel safe to explore, express, and enjoy yourself. Because of this, my role is to guide you along the way with use of effective techniques, a fresh perspective, compassion, humor, and absolutely no judgment to help you create growth, understanding, and lasting change. I am currently accepting new clients for groups only. Each group is no more than 6 young adult women who are all experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress. If you're interested in joining, email me today!

I’m a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping millennial and Gen Z women overcome anxiety. My approach to therapy is to address not only the anxious thoughts you are having but also look at how we can adapt behaviors to help you heal. I introduce skills and then work with you on realistically using them in your daily life. We remain in the mindset of coaching your brain and helping your brain learn to react differently over time. We do this with self-compassion, self-respect, and a smidge of humor. Ok, maybe a lot of humor. In my sessions, you will always be the expert of your life and your needs. I’m down-to-earth, laid-back, and create an environment of zero judgment where you can allow yourself to be vulnerable, laugh, cry, and swear as much as you need to.

Welcome! I’m glad you are taking this step towards your growth and healing. Are you challenged with relentless thoughts, communication, or quieting your critical voice? I enjoy helping others manage anxiety, build self-esteem, and foster emotional resilience. My clients will tell you I bring warmth and respect for diversity and identity into our sessions. I am passionate about empowering others as they embrace their authentic selves while navigating life’s complexities. I strive to create a safe space to explore your emotions, feel aligned with the world around you, and develop the tools you need to thrive in all aspects of life. I have 20 years' experience in online therapy, college settings, and emergency services. My theoretical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Expressive modalities. Do you enjoy creative expression? My practice is rooted in embracing your unique experiences, collaboration, and creativity in our work together. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in relationships, career conflicts, or managing life transitions, I am here to support you with empathy and professionalism. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful, lasting changes that reflect your values and goals. I look forward to meeting and working with you as we begin this journey!

You don’t have to stay stuck between who you were and who you want to be. I help youth and adults heal from trauma, depression, anxiety and a multitude of different life issues through compassionate, culturally responsive therapy. Together, we focus on understanding your story, building emotional awareness, and developing practical tools to restore balance and confidence. With more than a decade in mental health and six years in clinical practice, I’ve learned that true healing happens when structure meets compassion. I work with children and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges with curiosity and courage. My approach blends practical skill-building with genuine connection, creating a space where you grow.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're running on empty? Maybe you're anxious, down, or trying to heal from painful experiences that still echo into your present.

And we're here to walk alongside you. We provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapy for adults navigating emotional and psychological challenges. We are a social justice oriented psychotherapy collective, committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for all clients to explore their lived experiences.

The students I work best with are often balancing a lot at once. They may be trying to keep up with classes, work, family responsibilities, relationships, or uncertainty about their future while also managing stress, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt. Many of the students I see are high-achieving and hardworking, but underneath the surface they feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or like they're carrying more than other people realize. Some are adjusting to college life, navigating major life transitions, or trying to figure out who they are and what they want for themselves. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, academic stress, confidence, or simply feeling lost, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself and develop tools to move forward. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, explore what's getting in the way, and build the skills and confidence needed to thrive both in college and beyond.

At Inner Edge Psychotherapy, I help students and young adults navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions, drawing on over 14 years as a school counselor and 3 years in private therapy practice. Whether you’re adjusting to college, managing relationships, or facing a specific challenge, I provide support that fits your needs—including single-session therapy for students who want help with one issue without committing to ongoing care. Together, we use practical strategies and mind‑body techniques to help you feel calmer, more in control, and ready to tackle life’s ups and downs. If you’re looking for a safe space to gain clarity, build resilience, and find balance—even in just one session—you’ll feel at home here.

You didn’t end up here because you’re weak, you ended up here because carrying everything alone most likely became too heavy. I work with teens (15+), adults, and couples to break out of patterns around self-esteem, trauma, substance use, and relationships. Therapy with me is warm and honest and I aim to create a space where you feel safe and supported yet challenged to confront what keeps you stuck. I became a therapist because I’ve been on the other side of struggle and I know how powerful it can be to feel truly understood. In particular, I relate well with teens who are struggling with self-esteem, school struggles, and stress related to their future. Please reach out today if you are looking for someone who truly “gets it”.

I strive to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore past experiences, navigate current challenges, and build meaningful change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside clients to identify their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life they want to create.

I am passionate and sincere about providing my clients the space and safety needed to feel understood and supported. I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, pulled in too many directions and are looking for a way to get “unstuck.” I can facilitate a journey of self discovery and help to evoke deeper self-acceptance and self-compassion. I work collaboratively to help clients create solutions and small changes that add up to larger transformation, insight, wisdom, healthier behaviors and greater well being. I provide care that is strengths-based, solutions-focused, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I employ a variety of approaches- unique to each client- while promoting healthy coping strategies, and evidence-based skills that support clients in times of crisis, loss, low self esteem, addiction, anxiety, and interpersonal stress. Being human is extremely difficult. The responsibilities of life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we simply need to be heard in order to access our innate wisdom and capacity for growth. If you are looking for empathy, compassion, understanding, and want to create a strategy for healthy, lasting change... please reach out.
