Therapists for college students near Temple University

Hi, I'm Cynthia! I work with a majority of young adults from those preparing for college to adjusting to post-college life. These years can be full of many adjustments which I help clients process and navigate. I am passionate about anxiety-related and mood-related concerns, as well as, helping people dealing with relationship challenges. I'd be honored to walk alongside you through your journey! I am licensed in PA and currently am currently accepting telehealth clients. I accept most major insurances including: Aetna, Capital Blue Cross Pennsylvania, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Geisinger, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Pennsylvania, Quest Behavioral Health, The Health Plan

Hello and welcome to my page! I am an LCSW in Pennsylvania and am currently a Doctorate of Social Work candidate. My passion is in helping individuals to recover from traumatic events and have worked extensively with survivors of sexual trauma and other traumatic events. I have also worked extensively with survivors of forced migration, including refugees and asylum seekers and I offer evaluations for immigration court.

My name is Dr. Kristen English, and I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist. I work extensively with young- and established-adults, families, and elderly populations. I strive to create genuine therapeutic relationships with clients based on trust and sincerity. We collaborate through curiosity and creativity, as clients and I seek to identify clients' strengths and their inner resources (so often already there, but not yet acknowledged) for navigating life's really tough moments. I utilize a humanistic, strengths-based style while drawing on CBT, psychodynamic, and narrative techniques as I support clients' development of self-worth, flexibility, and self-compassion. We work toward positive growth and change and toward the development of nourishing, supportive relationships. I am currently conducting all sessions through telehealth and am so excited to bring these therapeutic conversations into clients’ homes, apartments, dorm rooms, and work spaces! Thanks for inviting me in!

Hello and welcome to my profile. I'm glad you found me! My approach is warm and grounded, and I do my best to make therapy as accessible as possible. Being a busy college student can be tough, so I give you a lot of credit for seeking therapy. I work with anxiety, depression, social media and device use withdrawal, substance misuse and a host of other issues college kids sometimes struggle with. Give me a call and let's see if we are a good fit!

We're a quirky practice specializing in those who suspect they may be neurodivergent, questioning their sexuality or gender identity, and those who are interested in or practicing ENM/open/poly relationships.

My name is Kaylee Van Gent, I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) providing psychotherapy services virtually in Pennsylvania. I have over 4 years of clinical experience across outpatient, residential, and school-based settings. In my clinical work, I often partner with clients experiencing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, trauma, and identity and adjustment issues. While I see many different clients, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, those who are navigating complex trauma, and those who have experienced religious/spiritual abuse or manipulation. I work with older adolescents, adults, and older adults. Therapy with me is grounded in deep empathy, creativity, curiosity, and a belief that meaningful change happens through safe, collaborative relationships. My goal is to help clients build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, values-aligned change. Alongside my clinical work, I am also a doctoral student in the Counselor Education and Supervision program at Pennsylvania State University where I am pursuing research interests of social justice and systemic change in counseling and religious/spiritual abuse. Through teaching, research, and practice, I value providing therapy that is affirming, trauma-informed, and responsive to each client’s unique culture, context, and experiences. Outside of work, I am a curious, playful, and nature-loving person. I love hiking with my partner, reading, and having a good laugh.

We are a liberation-focused therapy and consulting practice offering affirming care. Our practice emphasizes affirming care for queer, neurodivergent, and marginalized communities because these groups often struggle to find safe providers. At the same time, therapy is for anyone seeking personal growth and support. You don’t have to hold a marginalized identity to benefit from what we offer – we’re here for the full range of human experience. Regardless of your identity, we’re here to offer our support. ALL are welcome.

I’m passionate about working with individuals who have experienced a wide range of traumatic experiences, and I hold specialized training and experience in supporting survivors of sexual trauma. I’m trained in EMDR, which I find especially helpful for clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or trapped in old patterns that no longer serve them. It’s one thing to logically tell yourself, ‘what happened wasn’t my fault’ or ‘I am safe now’ – and an entirely different journey to help your body believe that the threat has passed. I specialize in helping clients navigate shame and identity challenges with compassion and curiosity. My approach focuses on creating a non-judgmental space to explore the stories and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. Together, we’ll work on uncovering the roots of shame, building self-compassion, and encouraging a more authentic sense of self. Anxiety often feels like you’re bracing for something you can’t quite name. You might feel restless, hyperaware, overwhelmed, or like you’re always trying to stay one step ahead of disaster. In our work, we’ll slow things down and get curious – not critical. Instead of fighting your anxiety, we’ll explore what it’s trying to signal, protect, or prepare you for. I’ll help you develop grounding strategies and ways of relating to your anxiety that actually fit your life and values, so you can feel more settled and connected in the present. When working with me, you can expect to enter a space where you don’t need to have it all together. We’ll celebrate your successes, and I’ll be there to sit with you during the heavy moments. I’m not here to ‘fix’ you, but I am here to help you dig deeper and start connecting the dots in your life. Typically, this will include a healthy dose of sarcasm, practical skills, humor, warmth, and empathy. My goal is to help you find what works best for you while we move at a pace that feels right.

College can be exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. Whether you’re figuring out who you are, navigating friendships or relationships, managing anxiety or depression, dealing with stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer a warm, supportive space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be getting in the way of feeling more grounded, connected, and confident. My approach combines practical coping skills with opportunities for deeper self-understanding, helping you build self-compassion and create meaningful change. Young adulthood comes with a lot of transitions such as starting college, exploring identity, balancing academics and relationships, preparing for life after graduation, or simply trying to keep up with everything on your plate. Therapy can be a place to slow down, process what you’re going through, and reconnect with what matters most to you. You don’t have to navigate it all on your own. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to support your growth, healing, and the life you’re creating for yourself.

At Unleashed Mind Counseling Services, I work with college students who are navigating the challenges of relationships, life transitions, and mental health. I also specialize in working with athletes facing performance pressure, injury recovery, identity beyond sports, and the demands of balancing athletics with everyday life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, confidence, or simply looking for support, therapy can provide a space to grow, build resilience, and perform at your best

Welcome! I work primarily with those who identify as high achievers, problem solvers, and doers. Often that identity can be really functional in some parts of life, but leave us feeling stuck, confused, and frustrated in other parts of life. You can find me on Instagram at @act_therapy_pgh.

You never quite felt like you fit into this world, never checked off the boxes you were forced into, but you still strive to make a difference. Maybe you relate with being a geek, nerd, misfit, or gamer. I love to work with those who want help creating their own life, their own identity. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent, or the misfit community, I’d love to help you rewrite your story to make it your own. And feel free to unmask yourself, you’re accepted here. I am a warm and welcoming therapist, but I won’t sugarcoat things for you. I’m blunt and will call you out, but I’ll always remain on your side. I meet you where you’re at, whether that’s discovering your identity or diving into deep trauma work. I use a humanist approach, with touches of somatic and strength-based modalities.

You’re feeling like you’re barely holding your life together, and you’re tired of pretending you’re okay. Maybe you’re a little quirky, a little artistic, but you’ve always felt like something was “off” and you never quite fit in. Yeah, all of that is exhausting. I want you to find real joy in your life, whatever that looks like for you. I love working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who might be a little neurospicy, and others who just want to explore their identity more. You won’t have to spend the first 3 sessions worrying if you’re going to be accepted, you already are. My style is eclectic and I’m always willing to meet you where you’re at in your healing. I like to focus on gentle guiding and building tools. I enjoy following where you want to lead, side quests and all! Don’t worry, if I notice we’re avoiding something, I will circle back to it. I’m friendly, accepting, and a little silly (with a dark sense of humor). I love laughing at the absurdity of life! I want to go into the hard, messy, and weird stuff with you. I want you to understand yourself and reframe your narrative. I know admitting you’re not okay feels scary, but I’d love to be with you, looking underneath everything that has been piled on top of you.

College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to new responsibilities and life transitions, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with female college students and young adults who want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and feel more confident managing life's challenges. My approach is relational, compassionate, curious, and down-to-earth. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship creates the foundation for meaningful change, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted. I also believe there's room for humor in therapy—healing doesn't have to be serious all the time. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, increase self-awareness, and develop practical skills to help you manage emotions, cope with stress, and build a life that feels more aligned with your values. My goal is to help you leave therapy with greater confidence, resilience, and tools you can continue using long after our work together.

Having a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and valued is essential. I warmly invite you into a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore who you are and what your needs are in order to heal and grow. I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and I use a collaborative approach to support you in exploring, understanding, and shaping your path forward. I work with clients in both an individual and relationship capacity, helping people deepen their understanding of themselves, their connections, and their emotional intimacy with others. My areas of specialization include chronic illness, LGBTQ+ folks, neurodivergence, trauma-related dissociation, and complex trauma. As a queer, trans, and neurodiverse therapist, I know how difficult it can be to take this step. I am here to support you, exactly as you are, with care and understanding. If you're interested in seeing if we are a good fit, reach out via email or phone & we can chat about how I can support you.
