You’re juggling studio time, projects, critiques, internships, and maybe even a part-time job. The pressure to create and succeed can feel overwhelming, and when you add homesickness, anxiety, or creative blocks to the mix, it’s a lot to handle. At LifeSpring Counseling Services, we get it. We’ve been there personally, and we regularly work with other college students who are navigating similar stressors. We’re here to help you manage stress, stay inspired, and feel more in control of your life so you can focus on your art, your academics, and your future.

College is stressful. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Common Concerns We Help With:

Creative Blocks & Burnout

Feeling stuck? Can’t seem to create like you used to? We’ll help you reconnect with your inspiration. Our specialized Brainspotting services are really great for that!
Anxiety & Overwhelm

Deadlines, critiques, and performance pressure can be exhausting. Learn ways to manage stress without losing yourself in the process.
Loneliness & Homesickness

Adjusting to college, a new state, or a new country isn’t always easy. If you feel isolated, we can help you find connection and support. At LifeSpring, we work with many college students who are relocating to Maryland from out of state and/or are here as international students.
Imposter Syndrome & Self-Doubt

Do you feel like you’re not “good enough” compared to your peers? We find that it’s not uncommon for students to compare themselves to their peers, and we can help make sure that you don’t get caught up in the comparison trap.
Depression & Motivation Struggles

Some days, it’s hard to even pick up a pencil, get out of bed, or get to class on time. Therapy can help you build strategies for navigating depression and staying on top of your responsibilities. Nobody wants to feel like they’re falling behind!
Identity & Life Transitions

Figuring out who you are and where you’re going is tough. We provide a space to explore your identity, values, and future goals. If you identify as LGBTQI+ you’ve got a welcoming space at LifeSpring!

Therapy That Fits Your Creative Lifestyle

At LifeSpring, you can use your insurance, and get an appointment in less than a week.

In-Person & Telehealth Options: Come to our Baltimore City office or meet with a therapist from the comfort of your dorm or apartment via online therapy.

What Other College Students Are Saying about Therapy at LifeSpring

Well, actually…..We can’t tell you! Licensed mental health professionals are not allowed to solicit feedback from their clients which is why we can’t share what they’ve said.

So….you’ll have to take our word for it, and you can trust that we’ll keep your identity and information confidential. We’re a practice that believes in following our ethical codes.
