Counseling For College Students

We Are Here For You!

You’re a busy college student.

Privacy is important to you, so you don’t want your classmates to see you going to the campus counseling center. 

You are tired of being anxious, lonely, overwhelmed, and stressed, and you’re ready to make a change.

There is no doubt that college is stressful. In addition to your classes, assignments, and tests, you also have to navigate social and emotional challenges that arise. Maybe, it is your first time living away from home and managing your own money. Or you’re struggling to find new social groups, figure out who you are, or decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. When these stressors all occur at the same time, it can feel incredibly overwhelming.

What is "Typical" College Stress?

A little stress is normal and can even motivate students to study a little harder, reach out to a new friend, or pick up a part-time job. But, too much stress can lead to symptoms that can negatively impact their ability to function in their day-to-day life. Symptoms of stress include:

  • trouble sleeping
  • getting sick often
  • headaches/stomach aches
  • change in eating habits
  • social isolation
  • feeling anxious or depressed

These are common signs and symptoms of too much stress. And, when these symptoms begin to disrupt students’ mental health, it’s time to seek treatment.

Treatment For College Stress

Many of our Synergy eTherapists use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you focus on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for a short-term, goal-oriented approach. There are many ways to help college students manage their stress levels. In addition to CBT, we also mindfulness, motivational therapy, and trauma-informed approaches when needed.

Together, you and your Synergy eTherapist will discover what coping techniques will help you reduce stress. These may include things like exercise, relaxation, and finding the time to balance your daily “to-do” list with some much-needed downtime. Also, spending time with your friends at school and talking to your family at home may serve as a useful way to cope with stress
