Going to college can be a very exciting time. Getting to meet new people, maybe living away from home or family for the first time, creating your own schedule, trying to find clubs and organizations with others who have similar interests to you. There is a lot of freedom that you may be experiencing for the first time, but with that freedom comes responsibilities you may not feel prepared for.

It can be lonely being new on campus. It can be hard to balance working and attending classes. You are now fully responsible for yourself- waking up and getting to classes on time, deciding how late you stay up, when you do your homework, whether you eat just dessert for dinner. Often times we go to college and we feel the absence of the structures we did not know were helping us. We didn’t realize how helpful it was to wake up and go to bed at the same time each night, to have a home cooked meal waiting for us, to have teachers/parents/friends reminding us about assignments and upcoming tests. Now that you are on your own, you may want some help figuring out what works for you. You may benefit from learning how to plan study time, improve your sleep, balance school work and fun, exploring career options, or learning communication and conflict resolution skills for when you have to have those uncomfortable roommate conversations.

Together we can figure out what supports and tools you need to be successful in whatever way that looks for you. Whether it be creating a set of study skills that works for you, exploring career options, or figuring out how to tell your parents that you college is not a good fit for you, I can provide a safe and supportive space for you to figure out who you are and what you need to be successful on whichever life path you choose to take.
