Christine Giardina Therapy

Between academic pressure, social dynamics, figuring out who you are, and planning for the future, it's no wonder so many students feel stressed, anxious, or stuck. If you're struggling with anxiety that makes it hard to focus in class, ADHD that affects your ability to manage coursework, constantly putting others' needs before your own, or grieving a loss while trying to keep up with everything else, I'm here to help.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be completely honest about what's really going on. No judgment, no pressure to have it all figured out – just genuine support as you work through whatever you're facing. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs, whether that's learning practical anxiety management techniques, developing ADHD-friendly organization systems, setting healthy boundaries, or processing grief in your own time and way.

Our sessions are collaborative so you're the expert on your own life, and I'm here to provide tools, perspective, and support. I understand the unique pressures of college life, from finals week stress to homesickness to figuring out your major (or changing it for the third time).
I offer flexible scheduling to work around your class schedule and understand that college budgets are tight. We can discuss payment options and I can provide information about using your insurance or exploring sliding scale options.

Taking the step to reach out for support shows incredible strength and self-awareness. Whether you're dealing with a crisis or just want someone to talk through the everyday challenges of college life, I'm here to help you develop the skills and confidence to thrive, not just survive, during this important time in your life.

Contact me today to schedule a brief consultation where we can talk about your goals and see if we're a good fit.
