🎓 Therapy for College Students with Anxiety
Support for overthinking, panic, and the pressure to hold it all together
College can be an exciting time full of new opportunities—but it can also quickly become overwhelming. Between the pressures of academics, navigating social expectations, exploring your identity, and the constant push to “figure it all out,” many students find themselves trapped in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion.
At Dow Counseling Services, I provide a supportive space where college students can pause, breathe, reflect, and gradually start to feel more like themselves again. Whether you’re struggling with panic attacks, racing thoughts, perfectionism, or burnout, therapy here is carefully designed to meet you with compassion, understanding, and care—not judgment.
Common Concerns I Help Students Navigate
“How do I stop overthinking everything?”
“I feel anxious all the time and don’t know why.”
“I’m scared I’ll fail or disappoint people.”
“I can’t sleep, I’m always stressed, and I feel stuck.”
“I’m having panic attacks and don’t know how to cope.”
“I feel like I’m falling apart, but no one sees it.”
These aren’t just search terms—they’re real experiences voiced by students who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. You don’t have to carry this alone.
My Approach to Anxiety Therapy
I integrate trauma-informed care with practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Therapy may include:
CBT for reframing anxious thoughts and building coping strategies
EMDR for processing past experiences that fuel anxiety
Attachment-based therapy to explore relational patterns and self-worth
Somatic awareness to reconnect with your body’s signals and calm your nervous system
We’ll also explore lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, identity, and relationships—because your mental health is shaped by more than just your thoughts.
You Deserve Support That Meets You Where You Are
You don’t have to wait until things get worse. Therapy can help you feel less alone, more understood, and better equipped to navigate college life with clarity and confidence.
