Therapists for college students near 02155

Hello! I'm so glad you are looking for counseling. I think everyone can benefit from counseling! I specialize in working with people who struggle with anxiety, adjustment disorders, and self esteem. Check out my website for more information. I look forward to hearing from you!

College can be overwhelming. It can be filled with anxiety, stress, loneliness and other tough encounters. Whether you are navigating a new relationship, juggling course work and social life or having trouble simply adjusting, therapy can help! I have worked with a number of college students and have supported them with issues including, body image concerns, perfectionism, student-athlete struggles, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, transitioning from college to the "real word" OCD and relationship issues. You don't have to navigate this chapter of your life alone. I am here for you! I am licensed in MA, PA, NJ and TX and work with you via tele-health if you are from any of the above states.

Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but you are worth it. I would be honored to be the one to support you in meeting your goals. My intention is to help you feel more in control of your life by cultivating self-awareness, processing emotions, problem-solving, and replacing unsupportive coping skills with healthier strategies. Together we explore and identify the underlying thoughts and emotions that drive these behaviors while working at your pace. Let me help guide you to find your strengths, embrace your innate resiliency, and reach your best you. Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but you are worth it.

Let me help guide you to find your strengths, embrace your innate resiliency, and reach your best you. I work well with young adults and adults who feel ready to make changes in their lives. Concerns and goals I am ready to work with you together on: veteran/military concerns, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, postpartum concerns, and life changes. During our first appointment, we will get to know one another, discussing expectations for our work together, and setting long-term goals to support your construction of a healthier and more joyful life. I have a warm, empathetic, compassionate, and eclectic approach.

I view therapy not only as a means of reducing emotional distress but also as an approach to personal growth. However, I believe that therapy should not be a way of life and I therefore support clients in developing concrete skills, with emphasis on working with emotions: promoting a better understanding of emotions and emotion regulation. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on my own bi-cultural experience - I was born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic. I practice emotion-focused therapy, which emphasizes the positive, adaptive roles of emotions. Sometimes, however, due to stress, trauma or adverse life events, emotions can become a source of distress. Through empathic, collaborative exploration I help my clients identify their authentic emotional needs and develop strategies for managing and regulating distressing emotions. If you are located in Western Mass (Pioneer Valley) I also offer walking therapy and animal assisted therapy. Therapy is my 2nd career. My PhD is in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) and my therapeutic work is informed by 25+ years of research in AI and cognitive & affective science. I am thus very familiar with academic environments and draw on this knowledge when working with students, both undergraduate and graduate.

College can be one of the most exciting chapters of your life, but also one of the most overwhelming. Between academic pressure, relationship changes, identity exploration, family dynamics, and the constant push to “have it all together,” it’s easy to feel stretched thin or even lost. I’m Theresa, a licensed therapist who specializes in helping college students just like you find clarity, balance, and real coping tools in the midst of it all. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, or just need a safe space to unpack life, this space was created with you in mind. Therapy isn’t about having a diagnosis, it’s about having a space. A space where you can be honest without judgment, process what’s heavy, and learn how to thrive, not just survive. If you’re ready to feel more like you, let’s talk. You don’t have to figure this all out on your own.

Are you sick and tired of feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Are you having trouble sleeping and focusing? Are your relationships becoming more challenging because you're irritable? I can help. I work hard in a collaborative effort with you focusing on the issues you bring to the table and we will develop a treatment plan together. I have experience with the difficulties associated with transitioning into college and all of the social and emotional stressors that come with it. Anxiety, depression, social isolation, and academic pressure, are all issues that I have had much success in helping other students manage successfully. I've got you!

As a neurodivergent clinician, I have found myself particularly well suited to working with clients with ADHD, AuDHD, PTSD, PDA and/or who are autistic. I also have over a 15 years of experience working with trauma survivors and LGBTQ+ communities. Many of my clients found past experiences of talk therapy unhelpful or helpful only as “maintenance” while larger issues were neglected. I focus on two specific therapies, EMDR and IFS, that go deeper to address underlying issues. I also center the unique needs of neurodivergent clients and include ways to help manage distress and recognize stressors. For many neurodivergent clients, therapy approaches such as CBT have backfired. For example, treating autistic burnout with strategies from CBT to manage depression can actually worsen exhaustion and burnout. Similarly, using exposure therapy to address anxiety primarily caused by social and sensory issues related to ADHD or autism may cause further distress. I center neurodivergent experiences in my approach to therapy and help clients explore strategies to reduce sensory and emotional overload and recover from burnout. If you are finding yourself spending your energy just trying to get through the day, it is time to start working towards a better future. Let's work together to help you level up your life.

As a mental health counselor, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

I draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based techniques.
