Managing School, Work, and Everything Else? When Are You Taking Care of Yourself?

At UBalt, you’re surrounded by ambitious, driven people. You’re working hard to balance classes, internships, jobs, and your personal life and trying to make it all work. When the stress starts piling up, though, where do you turn? 

Life will forever be full of responsibilities that are competing for our attention. Now is the perfect time to develop a lifelong habit of prioritizing your well-being, rather than putting yourself and your own needs on the back burner. You’ve likely already seen others in your life do just that!

Many college students come to therapy because they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to manage everything on their plate. Whether you’re juggling academics and work, navigating relationships, or dealing with personal struggles, therapy is a space to get support, gain insight, and make changes that work for you. On top of that, therapy is confidential, and it can be really nice to get objective input from someone who’s not a part of your family or social circle.

Why College Students Often Come to Therapy at LifeSpring

  • Stress and burnout from coursework, deadlines, and high expectations

  • Anxiety, worry, and racing thoughts, making it hard to focus, function, or sleep

  • Relationship challenges with family, friends, roommates, or partners

  • Feeling lost or uncertain about your career path and future direction

  • Managing peer pressure, setting boundaries, finding confidence in yourself

  • Navigating the many significant life transitions that are happening at this time in your life (new school, new city, new friends, new schedule, career decisions, etc.)

  • Depression, loneliness, or feeling disconnected from others are common experiences we hear about

  • Exploring your identity, values, and beliefs now that you are in college, away from your family, and expanding your knowledge base based on your school’s academic curriculum.

What Holds College Students Back from Starting Therapy?

Even when you know therapy could help, taking the first step can feel intimidating. You might think:

  • “I don’t have time for this.” (But stress and anxiety are making it harder to get things done)

  • “I should be able to handle this on my own.” (You could, but why struggle alone when working with a trained professional could help you make progress faster?)

  • “Therapy is for people with bigger problems.” (Your personal challenges are valid and worthy of attention.)

  • “I don’t even know where to start.” (That’s what we’re here for, and we make getting started easy.)

  • “People in my family don't ‘do’ therapy.” (Sometimes, we are the first to model what it looks like to take care of our mental well-being in our families. That’s not a courageous thing, not a bad thing). 

The Unique Pressures Felt by College Students

As a student at the University of Baltimore, you’re not just attending college. You’re building a future. Many college students are working while in school, supporting themselves financially, or managing responsibilities outside of academics. It’s easy to feel stretched thin, constantly thinking about the next deadline and how you’ll fit in time to take care of yourself or spend time with friends and family. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and take care of your mental well-being while making intentional decisions about the kind of experience you’ll have at college. 

Why Choose LifeSpring Counseling Services?

Finding the right therapist can make all the difference. Here’s why UBalt students choose LifeSpring:

  • We accept insurance. We’re committed to providing quality counseling services while also accepting most major health plans to make therapy affordable and accessible. 

  • Easy scheduling 24/7. Book online 24/7 or by phone at 410-497-8451 M-F from 9-5 and get an appointment within a week! 

  • Therapy that fits your schedule. At LifeSpring, we offer online therapy or in-person therapy services at our Baltimore City location. You can choose whichever option works for you. 

  • Feel good about where you seek therapy. When you seek therapy services at LifeSpring, you are supporting a small, female owned business with a commitment to having different therapists and clients.

What is Holding You Back from Starting Therapy?

Getting Started is Simple!

When you start therapy, you’ll have some decisions to make. Am I interested in online counseling, or do I want to meet with someone in person?

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.

  2. Complete your intake paperwork.
