Reaching out when you feel disconnected from yourself and others, or when you feel broken or hurt can be scary. You're not alone in that experience. Reading these words might make your heart race because you're used to picking yourself up and doing it all on your own, or because you might have to process something you've been trying to avoid or forget for a long time.

I have a lot of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help college students manage their anxiety and perfectionism, and develop healthy coping strategies. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I often help college students identify the negative thought patterns ...

Anxiety has a way of creeping into every part of life—especially during college, when so much is changing so quickly.

That constant state of being “on edge” is exhausting, and without a way to process or release it, it can take a real toll on your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to focus and grow. ...
