Therapy for College Students in Colorado
You finally finished high school and accomplished your dream of going to college. Congratulations! But now you’re having doubts.
Did I choose the right school?
Did I choose the right major?
Why am I feeling so lost and anxious?
How will I ever manage all of this stress?
Therapy Can Help
The transition from high school to college is an exciting - and also stressful- time in your life. Maybe you had this picture in your head of how it was going to be, and now it doesn’t quite feel right. Our experienced therapists can help you manage the stress of this transition along with other mental health concerns that have either been ongoing or have emerged since you left home. Unlike talking with friends or family — we can listen without judgment and give you the space to explore all of the possibilities in your life without an agenda of our own.
