Therapists for college students near Temple University

I work with anxiety, depression, mood swings in folks who feel like they don't fit in and are exhausted trying to maintain perfection in every area of life. We nurture self-awareness, compassion and acceptance, while trying out small, incremental, sustainable changes that support wellness and wholeness. You can expect gradual lifting of symptoms, early success in moving towards goals. The therapeutic work consists of a collaborative, practical, organic process in a caring, nonjudgmental space. We start with what's what, in the here and now, for you. We move at your pace and really listen, without rushing forward, until you feel ready. We practice knowing you in your uniqueness without worrying about conforming to unreal expectations. • Feeling sad, anxious, worried? • Irritable, discouraged, overwhelmed, more than just a couple of weeks? • Have racing thoughts, low energy, lack of enjoyment? • Feel like you don't fit in? • Think you've been trying too hard without getting anywhere? • Find yourself wondering "what is the point of it all?" Together, we commit to nurturing your personal growth and self-understanding through the therapeutic process. We focus on creating a safe, grounded environment for you to experience your authentic self, thoughts, feelings. We seek to identify and expand your support network and concentrate on practicing healthy self-care and kindness. We work on practical solutions and small sustainable steps. Nurture yourself by investing dedicated time to discover who you are, how you want to be in the world. Confide your troubles. Identify beliefs, assumptions important to you, and what needs are being served (or not). Find a clearer focus so you can get on with the business of living with purpose, with passion--even joy. Reconnect you to you!

These techniques aim to increase the client’s sense of well-being, decrease stress, improve confidence, allow for new perspectives, and restore balance to the client’s life. Together, we will identify your specific goals and collaborate on a tailored plan that promotes your personal growth and well-being.

Eudaimonia is a professional mental health practice. We are helping individuals improve their overall well-being through introspection, education, skills-building, therapy, and medication.

Veterinary Social Work, Nature-Informed Therapy & Walk-and-Talk Sessions. 🌳🐕🦆🦌 Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, deeply caring, compassionate individuals who have spent so much energy taking care of others, meeting high expectations, and holding everything together that they've lost touch with themselves. They are the caregivers, changemakers, student leaders, and community builders. Too often, natural helpers arrive feeling burned out, anxious, overwhelmed and physically exhausted. They look at their lives and realize they no longer recognize themselves. I believe people have an incredible capacity to heal, adapt, and grow. Therapy is a collaborative process where we slow down, make sense of what's been weighing on you, and reconnect with what matters most. You set the pace. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection - with ourselves, with other people, with animals, and with the natural world around us. This perspective is informed by One Health, which recognizes that human, animal, and environmental well-being are deeply interconnected. I offer therapy in-office, online, and through Nature-Informed Therapy and Walk-and-Talk sessions when clinically appropriate at various locations in the Delaware River Valley's Mercer-Bucks Region. Nature-informed therapy is always an invitation, never an expectation. For some people, movement and time in nature creates space to reflect, regulate, and reconnect. Others prefer the comfort of an office or telehealth. Together, we'll find the approach that feels right for you. As an NYU-trained Veterinary Social Worker, I also provide specialized support for veterinary students, compassion fatigue, animal companion loss and grief, Emotional Support Animal (ESA) evaluations and letters when clinically appropriate, and anyone whose relationship with an animal has profoundly shaped their life. These relationships deserve to be recognized and honored. Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, grief, identity questions, relationship challenges, or simply the feeling that you've lost yourself while caring for those around you, therapy offers a place to reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to create. *I offer psychotherapy through both insurance-based and private-pay practice settings. Traditional office-based and telehealth services may be available through insurance. Specialized outdoor services, including Nature-Informed Therapy and Walk-and-Talk sessions, are offered through my private practice. Clients are encouraged to inquire about fees and verify any potential reimbursement with their insurance provider.* If you are enrolled in the Princeton University Student Health Plan (SHP), please use the following link to schedule your consultation. https://positivemindcounseling.clientsecure.me

The people I work best with usually have one thing in common: they've tried explaining how they feel and it never quite came out right. Maybe you've been in therapy before and spent the whole hour narrating your week. Maybe you're anxious in a way that's hard to point at. Maybe you're autistic or have ADHD and every space you've been in asked you to be a slightly different person. Maybe something happened and you're still carrying it. You don't have to arrive with the words already sorted out. That's usually where we start.
