Perhaps you’re living with an existing mental health issue like anxiety, depression or trauma, or perhaps you’re noticing emerging signs or symptoms. Things like perfectionism, imposter syndrome and self-doubt are all common issues for students. Working with a therapist can help address these issues and be an important part of your overall healthcare plan.

Learning and socializing in virtual, in-person and hybrid ways are our new reality. At the same time, pandemic fatigue and pandemic-related anxiety are increasingly normal. Exploring ways to meet your needs for learning, socializing and safety can be important work in therapy to set yourself up for success in this phase of your life.
Relationships
Mental Health Support
Relationships
Many students are navigating significant romantic relationships, sexual experiences and break-ups while in school. Friendships, workplace relationships and school connections are always developing, changing or falling away. Often these experiences can be draining or distracting. Debriefing and planning for healthy social interactions with a therapist can help you build self-confidence and improve your sense of well-being.
School Issues
International Students
Relationships
While there is a lot more freedom in post-secondary school to choose your courses and how you spend your time, many students find it stressful or overwhelming to make these choices and develop time management habits that work effectively. Exploring your values, priorities and workstyle preferences with an objective, trained therapist can help you navigate these decisions and build habits that work for you.
Family Boundaries

Your relationship with your family is changing as you move into adulthood. Even though this is normal, the transition can often include conflict, frustration, anger and grief. Exploring your connection with your parents, siblings and other family members in therapy can help you learn more about yourself and your situation, and develop healthy boundaries that reflect your values.

Homesickness, isolation, language and cultural barriers, and parental pressure are all factors in the international student experience. Sometimes, the intensity of these issues can take you by surprise, making them even more difficult. Working with a therapist for emotional and practical support can help you navigate life abroad.
