Common Concerns We Address with College Students in Maryland

Academic Stress & Burnout: Managing coursework, internship expectations, work study, and family life can feel overwhelming. Our therapists can help you work through these stressors, develop healthy coping strategies, and prioritize your well-being while pursuing your degree. 

Anxiety, Worry, and Irritability: Whether you’re socially anxious, anxious about many things, worried about the future, or experiencing racing thoughts at night, our therapists have a wide-range of strategies to help!

Challenges with Depression & Motivation: If you’ve been feeling drained, unmotivated, or stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, these can be signs of depression. As therapists, we can provide you with helpful information and strategies to overcome these challenges. After all, staying on top of your responsibilities at college is crucial! We can help with that!

Navigating College Transitions: College students are faced with an enormous number of life transitions all within a short period of time. Whether you’re a freshman adjusting to campus life or a senior preparing for the next step, change can bring stress and uncertainty. Our therapists can help you work through these transitions with support, guidance, and perspective.

Balancing School, Work & Life: Many Bowie students juggle coursework with jobs and family responsibilities. Therapy can help you manage stress, avoid burnout, and prioritize joy while also pursuing your goals.

Self-Discovery & Identity:  College is a time of growth, but it can also bring big questions about who you are and where you’re headed. We’re here for those conversations.

What is Holding You Back from Starting Therapy?
