College Student Mental Health

college mental health

College can be rough, but therapy can help! We offer individualized support to students struggling with the transition to college life. Accelerated biological, psychological, and social development can often generate feelings of overwhelm. During undergrad years, students are tasked with the separation from family of origin and learning how to establish their own identity and independence. Our clinicians have many years of experience working with the unique issues that undergraduate and graduate students face. We often work with students from Northwestern University, Loyola University, DePaul University, Oakton Community College, and other nearby schools so are familiar with these schools’ cultures.

Issues that our college student clients frequently face include:

  • Balancing productivity with self-care
  • Managing anxiety and stress
  • Navigating academic struggles and challenges
  • Relationship challenges, isolation, and loneliness
  • Perfectionism, achievement, and concerns about career path
  • How to self-advocate, learning how to manage schedules, and prioritize tasks
  • Managing post-college life and current sociopolitical climate stressors
  • Navigating graduate school programs—including department dynamics, difficulty with finishing doctoral work, and navigating the stressors of high work expectations

For our college student clients we hope that by working with one of our qualified therapists, students will become more healthy, balanced, and improve their coping with the stressors and unpredictability of school life. We also see the importance of connection—to friends, peers, mentors, even a larger community. We hope that students find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

All of our clinicians at Mindful Psychology Associates hold this specialty of working with college student mental health concerns!

Mindful Psychology Associates was a proud sponsor Mindful Psychology Associates was a proud sponsor of Evanston Pride, which culminated in a community picnic this past weekend. It was perfect weather to be outside enjoying food, music, crafts, and learning about many local organizations and causes who had booths there. We had a wonderful time talking to community members about our services, chatting with fellow vendors (including watching the many dogs excited to get goodies at @bentleyspetstuffevanston booth next to ours!) And to answer a commonly heard question—yes some of our clinicians have immediate openings for individual, couples, family, and group therapy! We are in network w BCBS and Aetna PPO. Congrats @evanston_pride for a wonderful event and we can’t wait until next year’s!  #mindfulpsychologyassociates #mindfulpsychologyevanston #evanston #pride🌈 #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqtherapy #psychologistsofinstagram #chicagotherapist

Thank you @therapists.in.action for reminding us t Thank you @therapists.in.action for reminding us that therapy is very much a political act! Mindful Psychology Associates is proudly anti-racist, pro gun control, pro reproductive rights practice, pro LGBTQ+ folks and we aim to have a safe space where our clients know that their therapists are aligned with these human rights values. We want our clients to know that their individual concerns are not in isolation—they are part of larger systems that are contributing to ongoing trauma and we want to acknowledge the harm of systemic trauma. We are here for you during this unsettling time and will be joining in the fight to address reproductive rights and be a voice for change. Fellow like-minded therapists, please check out Therapists In Action!  #mindfulpsychologyevanston #mindfulpsychologyassociates #evanston #therapy #therapyispolitical #prochoice #psychologistsofinstagram #chicagotherapist
