Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

The Trauma-Informed Campus Collective is a clinical practice serving college students exclusively. Our work focuses on trauma-informed care with students navigating complex family systems, identity development, emotional regulation, and belonging within the college environment.

The transition from high school to whatever lies beyond it for you can be challenging. Suddenly, the whole world is in front of you and there is no set "map" for what is next. You can choose college, or a career. You can stay in your home town or move far away. You have increased opportunities to explore your own identity, make choices about romantic partnerships, and consider whether you'd like to start your own family some day. Your friends' lives are changing too; some will remain in your life and you'll grow apart from others. Your relationship with your family is also changing-- both in ways that feel helpful and ways that feel hard or sad. There are so many new decisions to make, people to meet, places to explore. For some young adults, these changes feel exciting. Others feel overwhelmed and even paralyzed, frozen, by all of these changes at once. Often, there are a mix of emotions present. As we adjust to the demands of a new job or a difficult college class, or living away from our families for the first time, we may notice increased stress or big emotions that feel difficult to manage. Times of transition can also stir up past wounds such as memories of difficult or traumatic events or tense relationships with loved ones. We may find ourselves experiencing increased symptoms of worry, intense sadness, decreased motivation, conflict with other people, or intrusive thoughts and memories that affect our ability to sleep or concentrate. Some of us may try to cope by using alcohol or other substances, and we may start to wonder if this is really as helpful as we once thought it was. Young adulthood can be so many things, both wonderful and challenging. Sometimes, therapy can be a helpful way to sort it all out or heal from difficult events that continue to make daily life difficult. I enjoy working with young adults as they navigate this unique season of life, and would be honored to walk alongside you in this work. I believe you are incredibly resilient, meaning you are capable of getting through hard things. My approach is to work as a team with you to identify the strengths you already have, discuss your goals, and determine which strategies might be most helpful to help you reach those goals. I also understand the importance of finding the right match when you are looking for a therapist. Feel free to visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation and we can chat to see if we are a good fit. I accept multiple insurance plans, and can offer both in-person and telehealth therapy. www.quietudetherapy.com

As a black queer woman working within both for-profit and non-profit spaces for over 10 years, I became increasingly aware of the need for dedicated restorative and affirming safe spaces for BIPOC and Queer folx. Thus, at Growth Explored my intention is to curate an environment that not only allows individuals to observe their own thoughts and feelings as relates to their behavior but additionally understand how external factors such as discrimination impact response to and perceptive of life experiences. If you find yourself feeling disconnected from the things around you, lacking motivation for the things that once excited you and going through the motions; there is room for you here. Let us collaborate to develop a plan that empowers you by evoking change through tapping into your emotions. Our hope is that in this space of healing you will learn the skills you need to live a fuller and richer life.

You have been looking at therapist profiles for a long time. You're tired of struggling with symptoms or experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, behavioral disorders, academic and career struggles, or cultural issues. You are ready to unpack your baggage, understand yourself, feel more in control, and turn things around for your own well-being. I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and men. I will help you explore the roots of your struggles, develop coping skills, and make positive changes that align with your values for you to manage and overcome unwanted emotions and internal battles while growing to attain your life goals. Feeling safe, understood, and not judged by your therapist leads to a healthy therapeutic relationship, which is one of the strongest predictors of therapeutic success. That is my approach and the way I aim for you to feel in our sessions in a relaxing but challenging environment. Call or email to schedule a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Just stop thinking about it, they said - and you want to, but don't even remember what that feels like! What if something goes wrong? It did that one time. You are not alone: many people get stuck in thoughts and feelings that are intrusive and time-consuming. If you are tired of feeling trapped inside your own head, there is hope. My passion is helping people get unstuck from thoughts and feelings related to past and present experiences including child and adult complex traumas, OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder), scrupulosity, and back into living life. I believes the counseling relationship is a grace space where healing and transformation take place. Counseling is hard work, but I also believe in many moments of joy and even laughter along the way. I offer a free 15 minute consultation via phone or you are ready to jump in book your first appointment through the website link!

I tend to work best with college students and young adults who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. Many of the students I see are smart, reflective, and trying hard — yet struggling with anxiety, mood swings, burnout, panic, or a constant feeling of pressure to perform or hold everything together. You might feel stuck between who you were expected to be and who you’re becoming. You may overthink conversations, feel emotionally exhausted, struggle with motivation, or feel disconnected from yourself or others. Some students I work with have experienced past stress or trauma that still shows up in their body — through anxiety, sleep issues, emotional shutdown, or feeling on edge — even if “nothing bad” seems to be happening now. In therapy, we move at your pace. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal right away. My approach is supportive, curious, and collaborative — focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and develop tools that actually feel usable in real life. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel less alone, and build steadiness during a demanding and uncertain chapter of life. I will be getting credentialed with additional insurances and accepting private pay-please feel free to check back or reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns.

If you've been feeling emotionally overwhelmed and it's affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, today is a good day to prioritize your well-being! I offer telehealth sessions throughout Massachusetts and Virginia, and in person walk-and-talk sessions in Charlottesville, VA. I specialize in helping young adults manage stress, anxiety, feelings of isolation, depression, or of not feeling good enough that can accompany being a college student in an academically rigorous environment. If your previous ways of dealing with challenges are not working, you find yourself drinking more than you used to, not sleeping well, or not feeling able to connect with your friends and family, this is a good time to get additional support. I take an active role in helping you sort out the best way to approach your challenges and teach you the foundations of mental health so you get back on track. Together we will explore the connection between how you live and how you feel, and identify the areas that feel out of balance. I take a comprehensive holistic approach to wellness because, for the people I work with, traditional talk therapy is often not enough. Our mental health is impacted by our environment, sleep, physical activity, what we eat, relationships, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors–and I believe our mental health care should include these elements as components of the whole system. Evidence-based tools we may incorporate include meditation and somatic mind-body practices, techniques to work with thought patterns, interpersonal skills, and lifestyle interventions.

Life’s paths are not always clear, especially for those of us who are queer and neurodivergent. Our unique experiences can make forming and maintaining healthy relationships complex, especially when many of the 'experts' continue to center cisheteronormative experiences. I'm here because I truly believe that your path deserves to be celebrated and understood on its own terms. Too often, the unique journeys we each have toward authenticity, joy, and wellness can be overlooked, shaped by rigid ideas of what they're 'supposed' to look like. From my own experiences as a neurodivergent, trans person and my professional journey supporting Autistic individuals and LGBTQ+ communities, I've seen how these unique paths can be misunderstood or ignored. In our sessions, we will work together to create a collaborative, open environment that makes space for human experience and connection. We’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your pace, in an environment that values and respects your unique perspective. Together, we'll work towards the goals that resonate most with you, finding strategies and insights that help you thrive in your everyday life.

"We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize." ― Thich Nhat Hanh Hey there, Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, despite your best efforts to stay positive and succeed? You're not alone. College life can be overwhelming. Between classes, exams, relationships, and just trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in, it's easy to feel lost and overwhelmed. Therapy might seem intimidating or even unnecessary, but those thoughts and feelings you're experiencing are valid. Questions like, "Why can't I handle this on my own?" or "What's wrong with me?" are more common than you think. Whether you've been dealing with anxiety and depression for a while or you're facing these challenges for the first time, it's okay to ask for help. I get it. I understand the emotional rollercoaster that college life can be. The pressure to perform, the fear of failure, the uncertainty about the future—it's a lot to handle. But here's the thing: You deserve peace of mind. You deserve to feel good enough just as you are, regardless of the ups and downs life throws your way. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed and ready to start believing in yourself again, I'm here to help. Together, we can work through your challenges and find a way forward that feels right for you. You don't have to face this alone. Reach out, and let's take the first step toward a brighter tomorrow. Warm regards, Jose L. Diaz, LPC

Therapy is a space to untangle patterns, fears, and old narratives so you can decide what actually serves you. I'm a doctorally-trained, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) who works with adolescents and adults through depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, life transitions and relationship struggles. Together we'll trace what's been keeping you stuck, work through experiences that still weigh on you, and build tools you can use in your daily life, so you feel steadier, clearer, and more yourself. Every process is shaped around your individual preferences and needs. I draw on evidence-based approaches with strong track records for lasting change, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD; which ones we lean on depends on what you're working toward. What stays steady through all of it is a grounded space where you set the pace, receive guidance shaped to your circumstances, learn to trust your own judgment again, and start living by your own design. I see clients in person at my Bethesda, MD office and online across Maryland, Virginia, Vermont, Colorado, and Washington, DC. If any of this resonates, please reach out. I'd be glad to hear what's on your mind and find out whether we're the right fit.
