Benefits of Counseling for College Students
College can be an incredible experience, but it is also filled with personal challenges, change, and stress.
So how could counseling benefit you…
- You may feel like you are disconnected from others in the college.
You may feel left behind in some areas in college or feel the pressure to perform up to the standards of others around you. This pressure can come from yourself, parents, professors, and even peers. So, what are you doing so differently?
Therapy offers a safe and nonjudgmental space to ask these questions and try out different ways to engage with your college experience. There is no one right path in college and each person has their own motives. These motives and joy you find in college may change over time and become confusing.
Let us work together to embrace and cope with your own unique college experience. In therapy you have a sacred space to share your joys and challenges.
- You may feel a bit lost in your college journey and things are not the same as you first started due to many different factors: classes, majors, interests, career, relationships, and things happening outside of school.
Counseling is your space to look deeper into these factors. To find your own way to express yourself and find JOY in doing so. Take heart in the fact that your journey is DIFFERENT and can continuously change!
So, what is your college experience? If you take a moment to breathe and focus on the words “college experience” … without alteration what comes to your mind? Thoughts, bodily reactions, and emotions? You may feel lost and nothing comes up. This is not bad. It means you are in the right space to seek it out.
“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.” – Søren Kierkegaard
You are not alone in this journey and this is your opportunity to live more meaningfully through authentic self-direction and self-actualization.
