Therapists for college students near 53715

Hi there...Are you seeking a space where you can show up exactly as you are, with no pressure and no judgment?! I believe real change starts with feeling heard and supported during the good and challenging times in our lives. College life can get overwhelming — balancing classes, relationships, mental health, chronic or invisible illnesses, or trying to heal from things that still stick with you. My style is down‑to‑earth and easy to talk to. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational, with a mix of curiosity, humor, and steady guidance.I’m here to support you as you make sense of the patterns shaping your life and build practical tools you can use day‑to‑day. Whether you’re looking for clarity, healing, or stronger relationships, therapy can be a powerful step toward creating a life that feels more like you. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you grow and find your footing...Let's get to work !! I serve clients in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Missouri.

Trauma impedes our natural ability as humans to be able to identify and reach goals, and connect and form relationships with others. I know that this can all be worked through with a positive therapeutic relationship and guidance to rediscovering the inner knowing you possess about what you truly need to thrive. My personal approach to therapy is what allows for others to connect with me- I am laid-back, direct, funny, caring, and most of all, nonjudgemental. I provide that open space of comfort that is needed to be your authentic self.

Healing takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor offering telehealth sessions across Wisconsin, and I specialize in supporting college students and young adults who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. My own healing journey has shaped the way I show up in therapy: real, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I know what it’s like to face pain and choose growth, and I create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to make lasting change. Life can feel overwhelming. Between academic pressures, relationships, family expectations, and figuring it all out, it’s easy to feel weighed down or anxious. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. This is a collaborative space where your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and your growth is the priority. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), combined with mindfulness, body awareness, and practical coping strategies. I help young adults break free from old patterns, process what hurts, and build confidence, clarity, and resilience—supporting healing on every level: mind, body, and spirit. I bring authenticity, empathy, and even a touch of humor to sessions so you can feel safe, challenged, and supported as you grow. In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, clarify your goals, and begin shaping a personalized plan that works for your life. Flexible telehealth sessions make it easy to start from anywhere—dorm, apartment, or home. Together, we’ll take intentional steps toward healing, growth, and empowerment. Whether it’s anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a turning point—and I’ll be here to walk alongside you. Your next chapter starts here.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're carrying invisible weight no one else can see? Whether you're juggling classes, navigating relationships, questioning your identity, or dealing with family or cultural pressure, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Tsuki, and I specialize in working with students who often feel like they don’t quite “fit the mold.” Many of the students I support are BIPOC, neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD), and LGBTQIA+, and they're trying to make sense of who they are while moving through complex systems that weren’t built with them in mind. In therapy, your whole self is welcome — even the parts that feel messy or misunderstood. I offer online therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese and bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to our work together. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and always grounded in respect for who you are and what you need. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, identity questions, or just feeling stuck — I’m here to help.

Specialty: Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused My approach to therapy is person-centered, focusing on your unique strengths rather than a label. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered to grow. I blend existential exploration to help you navigate life's transitions with solution-focused strategies that support practical, meaningful change. I also incorporate motivational interviewing to help you connect with your own values, strengths, and motivation for change. My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and confidence as you move toward the life you want.

Hi! My main goal is always to help my clients to help themselves, so you feel empowered to embrace stress and change as it comes. With experience working in an eating disorder hospital and 7 years working as a therapist in the Athletic Depts at UT Austin and CU Boulder, I've been involved with supporting my clients through the life challenges that high schoolers, young adults, and adults face for my entire professional career. I am EMDR certified and use this to treat trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, urges in addiction/EDs, and sport performance (both positive reinforcement as well as treating mental blocks). I particularly enjoy teaching tools for navigating anxiety and depressive symptoms, helping to make peace with body image, and supporting mental performance for sport. I also have a passion for supporting perfectionists to expand their view of themselves and learn to release a little of the control that is actually controlling them!

I started Influential Connections Counseling, after having worked 11 years with adults and families in the human service areas of abuse, neglect, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, relationship challenges, and various mental health diagnoses. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified social worker. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. A relationship that relies on trust, connection, empathy, and mutual respect. It can take time to build the therapeutic relationship. I often describe therapy as a space to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Life is challenging, ever changing, and beautiful. Whether life's changes are positive or negative, it influences our mental health, our relationships, and our physical bodies. The therapeutic process happens in session and in your daily life as you build self-awareness and enhance skills to obtain your goal(s).

To people looking in from the outside, your life looks pretty great. On the inside, though? You’re replaying a conversation from last week on repeat, wondering what they thought of you and whether you should or shouldn’t have said this or that. You often overthink or overanalyze decisions to the point where you feel paralyzed in making a choice at all. Imagine a life where you… - No longer feel controlled by your thoughts - Can celebrate your imperfections - Feel confident making decisions & expressing your point of view - Are driven by your true passions & values I specialize in working with clients who are craving a sense of freedom in their lives. They’re tired of feeling defined by their anxiety or like no one in their life can really understand what they’re going through. My clients are willing to get vulnerable and embrace their imperfections (even when it’s uncomfortable) in order to make a difference in their life and their world. My approach to therapy is direct, honest, and driven by methods that actually work. I want to help you identify what’s truly important to you, confront your fears, and create change in your life.

My goal is to create a space filled with healing, care, and compassion, where you feel safe and supported. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges of college life—whether it’s managing stress, handling homesickness, or finding ways to feel balanced. Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to in order to get back on track and feel at peace. My purpose is to support you so you can truly enjoy this time and feel confident about where you’re headed. Let's chat!
