Counseling For College Students
We Are Here For You!
You’re a busy college student.
Privacy is important to you, so you don’t want your classmates to see you going to the campus counseling center.
You are tired of being anxious, lonely, overwhelmed, and stressed, and you’re ready to make a change.
There is no doubt that college is stressful. In addition to your classes, assignments, and tests, you also have to navigate social and emotional challenges that arise. Maybe, it is your first time living away from home and managing your own money. Or you’re struggling to find new social groups, figure out who you are, or decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. When these stressors all occur at the same time, it can feel incredibly overwhelming.

At Synergy eTherapy, all of our therapists enjoy helping college students navigate these challenges. Whether you live at home and commute to school or live on campus, our treatment approach will fit into your busy day, night, or the weekend! So, you don’t have one more “thing” to your full to-do list.
Maybe, you used to see a therapist in your hometown before moving away to college. Or, your college counseling center is full or the hours of operation don’t fit your schedule. Whatever the reason, our online therapists can help you fit therapy into your schedule.
