How counseling for college students can help

    Juggling lots of new responsibilities can be tough, especially if you have neurodiverse experiences like ADHD. We'll work on time management skills tailored to your specific situation and help you make the most of your college experience.

  • Clarify career goals

    With Denver's diverse and competitive job market, choosing a career path can be overwhelming. Together, we'll explore your interests, values, and strengths to help you gain clarity on your academic and professional goals.

  • Manage stress and anxiety

    Develop effective coping strategies to handle the pressures of college life. Whether it's test anxiety, social stress, or general overwhelm, we'll find techniques that work for you.

  • Build meaningful relationships

    Learn to navigate relationships with peers while staying true to yourself, form genuine connections with people, and maintain long-distance relationships with family and friends back home.

  • Discover your authentic self

    Use this time of growth and change to explore your identity, values, and passions. The college years offer many opportunities for self-discovery, and therapy can help you process and integrate these experiences.

  • Enhance emotional well-being

    Address mental health issues like anxiety and depression, which often first appear during the college years. We'll work together to improve your mood, build resilience, and develop a toolkit for long-term emotional wellness.
