Therapists for college students near 32601

I focus on working with clients to recognize your inherent worthiness at work and within relationships, build trust in your inner wisdom, and integrate mindfulness and spirituality into your daily life. Whether you are coming out of a painful breakup, redefining your career path, navigating how to ask for what you need in partnership, or creating a kinder relationship with yourself, our work together can help you build self-confidence, self-awareness, and stress management techniques. My ideal client is someone who wants to embody their creative side, is curious about spirituality, and longs to step into their greatness. I specialize in mindfulness as a tool to build a more loving relationship with yourself. I bring an integrated head (concrete exercises you can practice between sessions) and heart (deeper understanding of self and how to relate differently with your thoughts and feelings) approach. If you’ve been thinking, “I want to trust myself. I want to trust my intuition/inner knowing. I want to love myself wholeheartedly - on the days I feel powerful and the days I feel small. I want to embody the badass human I was born to be.”- This work is for you.

At some point or another, we are all in a position where we need support navigating tough issues, complicated feelings, and life circumstances. My goal in therapy is to create an environment where you feel comfortable discussing and exploring your experiences, and the emotions attached to them. I am here to listen, provide non-judgmental support, and work with you to heal and thrive. I specialize in relationships - whether that be your relationship with yourself, a spouse, family member, friend, etc. Relationships impact almost every facet of our lives. They influence the way we feel, how we experience the world, and patterns we may repeat. I believe doing the work to heal these relationships leads to a healthier and happier life. My therapeutic practice focuses on fostering a collaborative relationship. Together we will work to identify and solve existing problems, develop practical and positive coping skills, and work towards connecting with others in healthy, authentic, and meaningful ways.

My approach to psychotherapy is best described as integrative, flexible, inclusive, respectful, and collaborative.

Hi, my name is Connie and and I have run an organization that provides support to children and families who have experienced trauma. I am passionate about meeting clients in their hard places and I believe that good things can come from hard places.

Young adulthood can be a time of tremendous excitement, joy, and opportunity. It can also be stressful and scary! I love working with people in this time of life as you navigate becoming yourself. I offer a welcoming and affirming space where you can explore the big and small questions you're facing about your identities, your relationships, and your future. If you're bringing a history of trauma or family conflict with you to college, I can help as you sort through it at your own pace and decide what you are ready to leave behind and what is important for you to carry forward. Feeling anxious or depressed? Therapy can be a safe place to learn and practice new skills to help you improve your mood and self-acceptance. The success of counseling often comes down to fit with your counselor—do you feel heard and seen, understood, and accepted and supported? This can be hard to judge through a profile. I offer a free 30 minute phone or zoom call to help us get a better sense of each other before you schedule an appoinment. I look forward to hearing from you!

My goal is to improve client mental health so that they feel and perform better. I provide a space where clients can be “heard” without judgment and are able to identify their strengths. These strengths are then combined with research-based practices to build skills needed to achieve one's personal goals. If a client is unsure about their goals, they have my support in helping to clarify them. We will then learn, practice and apply the skills. At other times, a simple objective ear is all a client needs. My services are provided in the least restrictive and quickest manner possible. With over 30 years' experience, it's been a privilege to assist over 9,000 diverse clients with a wide variety of challenges and in variety of settings. My approach is “Integrative”, which involves selecting models and methods from across orientations to best suit a particular client and context and is shown to enhance the effectiveness of therapy. As we all face challenges at different times in our lives, I help improve client resiliency to cope with those challenges and we do so in a way that continues their improvement after formal therapy ends. My experiences are particularly helpful for clients who have experienced trauma and challenges as members of marginalized groups. Balancing academic, social, family, work, career decisions and the many other transitions during this time of life can be challenging. Having been a director of a college counseling center, I’m able to apply my services to help students achieve their goals at all levels of academic achievement. As a psychologist, I am equipped to help manage many mental health matters that may affect a student’s personal and academic well-being.

Being human is hard. There are many emotions that come from simply existing. It can feel overwhelming to embark on the search and discovery of one’s most authentic self all while navigating the world around you. To learn what works & what you’d like to change. To find the language to communicate who you are to yourself & others. It can help to have someone accompany you as you learn & remember who you are or want to become. I can provide a space for all that you carry to be witnessed, validated, & explored. I’d love to join you in your journey towards embracing both the beautiful & painful complexities of being human. I know what it feels like to sit on the other side of the room. I am no stranger to therapy & I value giving you a sense of autonomy. I collaborate with you & operate from a place of relationship- which I believe can be the most healing tool. I hope to be a witness to your emotions & stories, to remind you that you do not have to journey through this alone. I specialize in grief, anxiety, religious trauma, life transitions, boundary work, & in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked in a variety of settings & have been so honored to journey with a multitude of clients towards their healing & authentic selves. If any of this resonates with you, reach out for a free consultation. I'm here for you!

At Arise, we do things differently. We believe healing thrives in real relationships—in spaces where people feel seen, heard, and deeply respected. That’s why we’ve created a practice that reflects who we are: authentic, compassionate, and grounded in trust. Our approach is human-first, not symptom-first. We reject cold, clinical models that pathologize the human experience. Instead, we offer care that is transparent, non-judgmental, and free from unnecessary gatekeeping—because we believe you deserve access to support without barriers. Here, you’ll find a team that shows up with honesty, empathy, and competence. We don’t just talk about holding space—we create it. Our office feels more like a cozy living room than a clinic, designed intentionally to be warm, inviting, and comfortable—because your environment matters just as much as your care. We’re committed to building genuine relationships, both within our team and with every person who walks through our doors. Whether you’re navigating grief, growth, transition, or uncertainty, we’ll meet you with respect, presence, and understanding. You are welcome here. All of you.

Welcome. The arena is a place of contact; it is a place of imperfection, but also of showing up. It is not always a comfortable place, but rather a place of courage and risk. And, if we allow it, it can also be an incredible place of discovery. At Arena, we often work with the “inner critic” of clients, that discouraging voice in our heads that tells us to play it safe or give up - that we aren’t good enough, that we can’t do it. We strive to overcome this by echoing these words of encouragement and daring from Theodore Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." ​ Not only does this reflect the struggle to show up authentically in the world, it can also reflect an internal conflict. It is often said "we are our own worst critics" Working on developing and nurturing our relationship with ourselves can be one of the most foundational places of healing. This is what we strive to do here. It is our hope that Arena is a place of healing, of life, of hope, of freedom, and of coming home to oneself. ​ Looking forward to walking on this journey alongside you, Kelly Gregory M.Ed., Ed.S., LMHC Owner and Founder at Arena Counseling and Wellness

Hi! I am Nicole French. I have been a counselor for the last 15 years and have worked with some of the most diverse clients helping them to find a path toward health and mental wellness. For some this has looked like freeing themselves from old hurts, finding value in themselves again or possibly for the first time, setting healthy boundaries in various types of relationships, learning skills to manage specific symptoms like anxiety or depression, and building achievable goals in all areas of their lives. Each client is unique and I am skilled at weaving in strategies that will work for you and help you achieve your goals. Areas that influence my style of therapy include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman method couples therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and strengths based therapy. I am authentic and real when I walk into a session and encourage you to do the same. I encourage people to have goals in therapy and to develop respect and love for their voice. I work best with those that are reflective, sensitive, and ready to make changes in their life.

The college and graduate school years can be particularly hard. You may want to start counseling because you're struggling with stress and anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships, traumatic experiences like sexual assault and emotional abuse, low self-worth, and unresolved family issues. Additionally, the events in our larger world--oppression, politics, the environment, financial instability--may impact your sense of safety and your motivation to keep building a better future. I have been counseling culturally diverse young adults for 15 years, and I am confident that counseling can help you if you're willing to invest in this process. As a counselor, I will connect with you in a real way, be a safe and affirming person in your life, and help you move toward your goals. If you've never been to counseling or had bad experiences in the past, it's normal to be hesitant and cautious about reaching out. I hope you will take the courageous step to contact me. I will do everything I can to earn your trust and help you feel comfortable working with me.

Healing happens when we feel safe enough to show up exactly as we are. All parts of you are welcome here. I’m not here to change you or fix you. I don’t think you are “broken” or that there's anything "wrong" with you. Together we'll create an accepting + compassionate environment, with respect for your intuition + body's wisdom underlying all that we do. I’m trauma + social justice-informed and view therapy through an intersectional lens (mind, body, environment, culture). During our time together, we’ll likely look at environmental factors (interpersonal, economic, oppression) that create individual/collective stress and trauma. I value equity, consent and boundaries in the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a space that is safe, non-judgmental and accepting. My approach is collaborative + holistic, centering around values of⁣ empathy, connection and deep listening. I’m Internal Family Systems-informed and incorporate somatic + mindfulness-based approaches into sessions. I provide an Autism-affirming perspective in therapy and believe Autism is a genetically-based neurotype, not a medical disorder. "I understand being autistic to be a cultural identity and recognize autistic people as experts on their own culture." (quote from Trauma Geek). Please visit my website for more information. Warmly, River (they/she)

Tensegrity is the balance in systems under tension. When we are resourced and grounded, this tension can feel propulsive and useful; when we are overwhelmed or disoriented, it can feel suffocating, oppressive, and unsafe. To move through this suffering, therapy is a resource that can lead to insight, empowerment, and authenticity. My name is Conor Mitchell. I am an artist and musician, a father and co-parent, and a licensed therapist. I believe in the power of therapy, mindfulness, mentorship, and ritual to change lives (they’ve certainly changed mine). While joy is a birthright, it often lies dormant in the face of obstacles. I can help you encounter these obstacles to discover growth, opportunity, and a more accurate sense of self. I work with a broad spectrum of humans who may feel stuck or victimized in a variety of ways. I am trauma and addiction informed and affirming of all belief systems and identities. My goal is to tune into your resilience, resourcefulness, and inherent capacity for healing to turn wounds into gifts.

I'm Kathleen, and I help people to heal trauma by using a mix of talk therapy and embodiment practices. If you ever had an experience that felt like too much, it happened too fast or too soon, or it felt like it was too much for you to handle, you went through a traumatic experience. Whether your trauma happened in childhood or in adulthood, trauma can negatively impact your mental health and your relationships. To heal trauma, you must also learn to listen to your body’s signs of stress. I can teach you to listen to these signs before they become overwhelm, and lead to you feeling shut down and disconnected. Feeling overwhelmed and disconnected are signs that a past trauma experience is impacting your life today. You don’t have to live in the pain of the past. Trauma does not have to become your legacy. Even though the impact of trauma is deep, I know that trauma healing is possible for you. Call me today to schedule your FREE 30-minute phone consultation. I know we can offer you a better quality of life by acknowledging the pain of the past. Give me a call today to start your trauma healing process.

I help people get over trauma, heartbreak and guilt (among other things). Call or text if you need more information or just want to try it out. I offer free consultations as well as crisis sessions (aka you just need help with a specific issue like mom is breathing down your neck or your ex won’t stop texting you… stuff like that.)

I tend to work with women in recovery from trauma, people going through life transitions, and folks who are working on letting go of what doesn't serve them in moving into being more of who they are. My work is based in experiential body centered practices and I partner with my clients to move towards their values and goals. In my work I continue to devote myself to a praxis that is self-healing, community healing and cultural healing all at once.
