Therapy for University & College Students

University and college life can be exciting—and overwhelming. Academic pressure, financial stress, relationship changes, identity exploration, and being away from home can take a toll on your mental health. I offer therapy for university and college students seeking compassionate, practical support to navigate school and life with more confidence and balance.

Student-Focused
Therapy Services

I work with post‑secondary students who are experiencing:

​

  • Anxiety, stress, and burnout

  • Depression and low mood

  • Academic pressure and perfectionism

  • Emotional overwhelm and difficulty regulating emotions

  • Identity exploration and self‑esteem concerns

  • Relationship and communication challenges

  • Life transitions, independence, and homesickness

​

Therapy is collaborative and paced to meet you where you are—whether you’re attending sessions for the first time or returning to counselling.

A Supportive Non-judemental Space

Seeking therapy can feel vulnerable. My approach is warm, inclusive, and evidence based-informed, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll build skills to manage stress, improve emotional awareness, and develop coping strategies that fit your academic and personal goals.

Flexible Therapy Options
for Students

To accommodate busy class schedules, I offer:

​

  • Virtual therapy for students attending the University of Guelph, Conestoga College, and other Ontario post‑secondary institutions

  • In‑person sessions in Cambridge, ON (limited availability)​

​

Virtual counselling makes it easier to attend sessions between classes, during placements, or while living away from campus.

Therapy Costs & Student Benefits Coverage

Session Fee: $130 per 50‑minute session
 
I understand that finances can be a concern for many students. A limited number of sliding‑scale spots may be available to help make therapy more accessible while maintaining high‑quality care.
Many university and college students have mental health coverage through their student benefits plans or extended health insurance.
 
Therapy services may be partially or fully reimbursed depending on your provider and policy. I recommend checking with your school’s insurance plan or benefits administrator to confirm coverage for psychotherapy or counselling services.
 
Receipts are provided after each session for insurance reimbursement

Get Started with Student Therapy

Therapy can help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected as you move through your academic journey.
