Therapy for College, Grad and Medical Students
Coursework, relationships, and the question of what comes next can compete for your attention. Therapy can stay on your schedule across semesters.
More Than the Work on Your Syllabus
I work with college, grad, and medical students who are adults seeking therapy for themselves. Academic pressure may be the reason you call, but roommates, homesickness, and relationships can be part of the same week. I want to hear about your life outside the assignment as well as the deadlines that keep you awake thinking.
Pressure and Perfectionism
A high standard can stop being useful when every assignment feels like a test of your worth. We can examine the thoughts that keep you revising, checking, or avoiding work altogether. I draw on CBT to help you answer those thoughts and choose a workable next action, including what finishing an assignment could look like without another round of second guessing.
Comparison and Imposter Feelings
Looking around a seminar or clinical training setting, you may assume everyone else belongs more than you do. I help you distinguish what you know about your peers from what you imagine. We can talk about mistakes, uncertainty, and the pressure to appear confident, while making space for the effort and learning your program actually asks of you.
Home, Roommates, and Relationships
Missing home can sit alongside wanting independence. A roommate conflict or relationship decision may absorb the attention you hoped to give to studying. In sessions, we can work on expressing needs, setting limits, and handling discomfort after a difficult conversation. I keep those skills tied to a real interaction instead of asking you to practice an abstract idea.
The Question After Graduation
Choosing what comes next can feel bigger when family expectations and financial concerns are part of it. I use values work to help you examine what you want, what options exist, and what risk each involves. We can identify one piece of information to gather before deciding, rather than asking you to feel certain about an entire future.
One Therapist Across Semesters
School in one state and home in another does not have to interrupt our work if both are states where I am licensed. Online sessions can continue in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, or Rhode Island. You must be physically in one of those states at session time, including during breaks, travel, and summer plans. We check that location as your semester changes.
Common Student Questions
Can I Meet Between Classes?
I keep weekday daytime hours, without evening or weekend appointments. We can discuss a 45-minute session between classes or during a lunch hour. Choose somewhere private where you can talk, and allow enough time before your next class.
Can I Use Out-of-Network Benefits?
I offer private pay and accept some insurance plans. Ask about your plan when we talk during the free 15-minute consultation. The intake fee is confirmed during your free consultation. The intake lasts 60 minutes; individual 45-minute sessions are $175. I can provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Check your plan before counting on that benefit; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
What Can I Text About?
Between sessions, clients can text quick updates, including a win they want to share, and scheduling changes. Texting is not for emergencies. If you need immediate crisis help, call or text 988 or call 911 rather than waiting for my response.
Your therapist does not change when your address does.
