Therapists for college students near Ketner, PA

College and early adulthood can feel like a lot. You’re building your future, navigating relationships, managing expectations — and trying to keep it all together. Stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, breakups, and big life transitions are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to handle them alone. Therapy with me is real, supportive, and judgment-free. I focus on creating a space where you can be yourself, talk honestly about what’s weighing on you, and learn practical tools to feel more grounded and confident. I previously worked with college students and young adults at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in an Intensive Outpatient Program, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and major life stressors. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, let’s talk. Reaching out can be the first step toward feeling better.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards becoming the best version of yourself! As a team of professional clinicians committed towards helping clients achieve their goals, we believe in connecting you with the best possible care. If you feel ready to make a change in your life, we are committed to supporting you in your therapeutic journey. Our Exton, PA office is conveniently located and easily accessible for residents of Chester and Montgomery County. We additionally offer online counseling sessions for people living in both Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The clients I work best with usually have one thing in common: they are tired of feeling like they have to hold it all together alone. Many are high-achieving students who look “fine” on the outside but are quietly dealing with anxiety, burnout, mood changes, family stress, relationship challenges, or just the pressure of trying to figure life out. Some feel overwhelmed. Some feel unmotivated. Some feel like they’ve lost parts of themselves along the way. I’m down to earth. You don’t have to show up polished or perfect with me. You can show up as you are. I’m highly skilled in mental health treatment, including therapy and medication management when appropriate. If medication is part of your journey, I will explain your options clearly so you feel informed and in control. But I also believe healing is bigger than prescriptions alone. I deeply value creative expression as a form of therapy. Art therapy doesn’t have to mean sitting in a formal art session—it can look like exploring crochet, dancing in your room, listening to music that helps you process emotion, or writing your thoughts out when your mind feels loud. These practices matter. They regulate the nervous system. They give voice to feelings that are hard to name. I practice what I teach. I’m relatable, and I personally use creative outlets to manage my own mental wellness. I believe in realistic, sustainable coping—not just clinical advice. If you’re someone who wants support that blends real conversation, clinical expertise, and creative exploration, we might be a good fit. You deserve care that sees your whole self. You can also connect with me on Instagram at @mothriftynp, where I share mental health insights and creative inspiration.

We all find ourselves struggling at one point or another. For some people, this is a life-long battle, and for others, it’s a short blip on our journey. Regardless, we all deserve to feel like our best selves, and I am here to help you feel like you again. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most transformational part of the therapeutic journey, and I truly enjoy fostering genuine connections with my clients through warmth, humor, and authenticity. I work to help clients process past experiences and identify how they are impacting current patterns and thinking, set and work towards goals for change, while providing tangible coping skills and strategies to manage difficult symptoms. For over 10 years I have worked with adolescents and young adults who are navigating anxiety, mood challenges, OCD, life transitions, school stress, gender identity and orientation, and other emotional challenges. Using evidence based theories of CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, motivational interviewing, and person centered therapies, I hope to walk with you in this journey of healing.

Your mental health matters.

My name is Brittany Biddle. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am currently based out of two different offices.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages.

Hi, I’m Djola McGowan, but most people lovingly call me DJ. I’m a neurodivergent Licensed Professional Counselor based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I identify as a woman and use she/her pronouns. As a first-generation American with roots in Jamaica—the land of wood and water—I bring a rich, culturally informed perspective to my work. I believe therapy is a revolutionary act of self-care and a collaborative journey. My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and cultural awareness. I truly believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens within us, but also in our relationships, families, and the systems we move through every day. As someone who values both personal insight and practical tools, I draw from Structural Family Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients make sense of how their emotions, thoughts, and family dynamics all intertwine. Together, we untangle the patterns that are keeping you stuck and work toward building new, healthier ways of being — both within yourself and in your relationships.

Hello, I’m Dustin! Life is difficult; there is no rule book. I am here to support you to help you learn new coping skills and strategies. I will partner with you so that you can move toward a life of enthusiasm, wholeness, and fulfillment. Have you ever felt like the “other?” I specialize in working with adults and adolescents ages 15 and up who have felt like the “other.” At some point almost all of us have felt like we were different. Perhaps you may have experienced anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, are an artist or artistic type, are part of the LGBTQ+ community, are a person of color, or have felt rejected by your family? These can be traumatic experiences. I am here to help you navigate through these difficult experiences so that you can shine. My style and personality is nurturing and supportive, yet very direct and truthful. It also has a healthy dash of humor and fun. I use a person-centered, creative, and holistic approach to meet your needs and accomplish your goals. Other modalities incorporated include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, and underlining psychodynamic work. As an active singer and songwriter, I am also on my own creative and personal journey. I am ready to share with you what I have learned!

Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or relationship issues? Is it challenging to achieve balance in your life?

Sometimes, being a student can feel so isolating and as if no one understands. You’re not alone, and I’m here to encourage you every step of the way. As a Black British Caribbean woman, it’s important for me to create a safe space where clients from all walks of life can thrive. I understand how daunting it can be to find a therapist, and I want to make the process smooth for you. Let’s start building a path to a more balanced, fulfilling life. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good match!

Hello! I find therapy to be a safe space to explore your life and find empathy for yourself. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community as a member of the community myself. I lead most of my sessions with care and empathy, focusing on empowering you to achieve the goals you create in our work together. I focus on issues such as life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, and sexuality. Whether it's your first or fifth time in therapy, I meet you where you are, listen to what you need, and collaborate with you to discuss what healing can look like for you. At my practice, Elements Counseling and Wellness Spa, we also offer a variety of holistic care options that are often discounted for clients such as massage therapy, cold plunge, saunas, HALO salt cave, yoga classes, reiki, and much more. If you are interested in a more holistic healing approach, this may be the space for you.

*Now Accepting New Telehealth Clients* Are you in college, feeling lonely, depressed, and/or experiencing social anxiety? Is something holding you back or missing in your life? Do you feel like you are not sure about what your next step should be? Is there a waitlist at your student counseling center? Do they only offer a limited amount of sessions? Is your university in a rural area with limited behavioral health resources making it difficult to find another therapist? A time of self-discovery and soul searching, college can sometimes leave students feeling overwhelmed. You may not know where to go for help or may feel unwanted shaming doing so. I get it! College was my time to discover myself too. Simultaneously, I discovered the trials and tribulations associated with the college experience. This led me to create College Telehealth, a secure and confidential virtual group practice, to support college students who are struggling with mental health challenges. I commend you for taking this brave, first step for your well-being and would be happy to help you through the process.

Hi! My name is Emma and I’m a white, queer, cis femme millennial therapist. I know that’s a lot of descriptors, but social identity is core to my therapy practice. I believe that our social identities, along with our personal histories and relationships, shape our experience of the world. I’m a relational psychotherapist, which means I’m interested in your relationships and how they shape your life. This also means that our therapeutic relationship is the main tool for your growth and healing. When you feel heard and validated, it gives you the foundation to build healthy relationships with yourself and others. I’m not the kind of therapist who sits back and scribbles on a notepad. I believe that you’re the expert of your life and I’m here to support you—to hold the map, flashlight, and the bag of snacks. In my pre-therapist former life, I was a teaching artist, workshop facilitator, and nonprofit program coordinator. My academic journey focused on intersectional queer and feminist theory, history, and literature. I’ve also been active in organizing around racial and economic issues in my communities. I’m kink positive, fat positive, and pleasure positive. I affirm poly and queer identities. I believe white supremacy and internalized capitalism dehumanize us, and therapy is a space to name, process, and grieve these impacts. I might be the right therapist for you if: - you have anxiety and/or depression -you identify as LGBTQ or navigating questions around these identities -you struggle in relationships with family, friends, or partners, particularly around boundaries -you have experienced trauma -you navigate challenges around body image and self-esteem I also offer a free video consultation to see if we’re the right fit. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to take the next step!

As an athlete, you know that performance is as much about your internal state as it is about your training and skill. I help college athletes master the mental side of their sport by treating anxiety at its physiological roots. Using a combination of EMDR to clear performance blocks and in-depth nervous system education, we’ll move beyond the "grind" to build genuine resilience and confidence. Whether you are stepping onto the field or approaching the bar, my goal is to ensure your body and mind are synced, helping you transition from being overwhelmed by pressure to being fueled by it.
