College Students and Young Adults

Undergraduate and graduate students may experience stress and emotional difficulties that can adversely affect psychological well-being and academic success. Research has documented high levels of anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns on college campuses.

While short-term interventions are available through university counseling centers, some issues can take somewhat longer to resolve. If you have never been in individual therapy, if can be hard to know what to expect, however, most students are surprised by how normal it feels to have a place to talk about various thoughts and feelings.
