Surviving College

Choose Two:


▢ Enough Sleep,


▢ Good Grades, or


▢ a Social Life

Just kidding. Choose one.

You knew college wouldn’t be easy - but you didn’t realize it would be this hard. You thought it might even be fun. It is, as long as you don’t check your grades or your bank account, right?

They say: Keep studying. Keep working. Keep pushing. All of your hard work will pay off! They didn’t tell you about the exhaustion, the crying, the 58 assignments that are past due, and the unrelenting impulse to drop out.

Life is throwing so much at you. You don’t have to do it alone.

In therapy, I can help you tackle these issues, learn to thrive, and really enjoy this new life phase. You’ll learn powerful skills to keep worry from controlling you. You’ll learn strategies not to let stress break you.
