Being a college student or young adult can be a time of great fun and adventure, change, and self-discovery, filled with new opportunities. It can also be a time of questioning and adjustment.
It is not uncommon that transitions create challenges that are difficult to navigate. This can lead to feeling anxious, confused, and even fearful of the changes and uncertainty in one’s life. It can take time to figure out what the next steps should be.
Counseling is an opportunity to increase your self-awareness to better understand yourself and the impacts of stress, especially during times of transition.
I can help with:
- Identifying and addressing the root causes of your struggles
- Developing the skills and strategies to cope successfully with everyday struggles and future challenges
- Navigating difficult situations by making appropriate adjustments and breaking down concerns into smaller, more manageable parts
- Fostering better self-awareness and what brings out the best in you
- Developing healthy and effective skills to manage relationships and other stressors
- Building your self-confidence and self-esteem
- Adjusting to and managing the demands and responsibilities of college/work life and living independently
- Overcoming academic and career related challenges
- Finding your strengths and building on them
- Learning techniques to better organize and manage time including creating schedules and routines that work best for you and that lead to a healthier work-life balance
- Identifying tasks and goals and breaking them down into practical steps
- Exploring your interests, goals, and talents to identify majors and career pathways that are best suited to you based on strengths and interests
In my practice I help students and young adults address the challenges they face by using a variety of skill-building techniques and therapeutic interventions. We work together to develop mindful and effective coping strategies that will allow you to overcome challenges and move forward in your life with confidence. Reach out here to take the next step.
