Balancing College Life at Morgan State? We're Here to Support You.

Attending Morgan State University is an exciting journey filled with opportunities and challenges. Whether you're diving into rigorous programs like social work, public health, or engineering, or managing the everyday demands of college life, it's natural to feel overwhelmed at times. Academic pressures, personal relationships, and future uncertainties can weigh heavily on your mind.

LifeSpring: Your Community Partner in Mental Health

At LifeSpring, we understand the unique experiences of college students. Our therapists are here to provide a supportive space where you can discuss your concerns openly and develop strategies to thrive during your college years. We find that college students often appreciate an honest, outside perspective from someone who isn’t a friend or family member. Counseling is a place where you can ask your most personal questions, and get support where you need it!

Why Choose Counseling at LifeSpring?

  • Tailored for College Students

    Our therapists work with college students from universities across the state of Maryland.  We have experience addressing the common issues among college students, including academic stress, anxiety, depression, navigating new relationships, healthy communication, boundary setting, and life transitions.

  • Culturally Competent Counseling Services

    As licensed mental health providers, we are trained in multicultural counseling, and we are ethically required to be mindful of our clients’ cultural background (as well as how our own shows up in the room).  We recognize and respect the rich cultural heritage of Morgan State as an HBCU. Our team is committed to providing counseling that acknowledges and integrates your unique intersecting identities.

  • Insurance Friendly

    We know that college students are often concerned about finances which is why we’re happy to accept most major health insurance plans.

  • Flexible Online Sessions

    We offer convenient online therapy sessions that fit into your busy schedule. When choosing online therapy, you can connect with us from the comfort of your dorm, parked car, or home. All you need is the internet, a tech device, and a secure, private location. New to telehealth? That’s OK too, we’ve created an article to help you prepare for your first visit.

  • In-Person Therapy Services

    For individuals who prefer in-person therapy sessions, we also have in-person counseling services at our Baltimore City location too. There’s plenty of free parking at our office, and we’re just steps away from the Woodberry light rail stop.

Common Concerns We Address with College Students in Maryland

Academic Pressure: Struggling to keep up with coursework in demanding programs like social work, public health, or engineering? Our therapists can help you address the challenges you’re facing.

Identity and Belonging: Navigating your personal identity within the rich cultural tapestry of an HBCU can be both empowering and challenging. We're here to support you in exploring these aspects and finding your place within the community. One of the great things about college is that it’s a time to try on new aspects of our identity, and also, sometimes we wrestle with the new information we’re learning in college. The stretching or learning curves in college can be rewarding, but challenging, and we’re here to help you reflect on your lived experiences, intersecting identities, and the relationships that you’re exploring or rethinking. 

Social Isolation: Even in a bustling campus environment, it's possible to feel lonely and disconnected. Our counselors can assist you in building meaningful relationships and enhancing your social experience. After all, college often means leaving behind friends and family members who have been our social supports, transitioning to lots of new faces, and finding your new friends. It can also mean that we experience shifts in our relationships with family and friends at home. 

Post-Pandemic Adjustments: The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the college experience. We're here to help you adapt and find balance in this new landscape.

What Would Stop You From Getting the Support You Need?

Seeking therapy can be an empowering decision. It means taking charge of your health and well-being! We love that many of our college students have a more positive attitude about accessing mental health therapy, and yet, we recognize that stigma still exists.  Seeking therapy, even when we’ve been on the receiving end of messages designed to stop us from getting help (i.e. “You just need to pray about it,” or “Don’t air out the family laundry.”) can take real courage!! But….when you seek therapy and start making changes, others get to see a positive difference in you. When others see that something has changed (for the better), they’ll want to know what you’ve been doing too! Sometimes we are the FIRST in our families to show that there’s a new way of doing things! 

Taking the First Step

What is Holding You Back from Starting Therapy?

Getting Started is Simple!

Scheduling your first session is simple:

  1. Click Here to book online 24/7 with the therapist of your choice or give us a call at 410-497-8451 Mon-Fri from 9am-5pm.
