Compassionate Counseling St. Louis offers therapy for anxious college students. You’re juggling your classes, your clubs, your job, your internship applications, and you barely have time to just stop and think. When you do - if you do - you feel this pressure to do more.

College anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism is super common...

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 ...

Beginning therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. We have this idea of an unknown place where a stranger makes us open up about some of our deepest innermost thoughts… and then what happens? I get it. I’ve had those same thoughts about beginning therapy. But, what if I told you therapy doesn’t have to be hard or intimidating? I believe therapy should be rewarding and even fun (for real)! As your therapist, I will support you as we uncover what it means to have a life worth living and f...
