Art therapy & counseling for college students

Do you find yourself telling friends (through gritted teeth) “I’m fine, everything is fine!” Or you dread the common nicety “how are you?” because you really want to answer honestly, but you don’t think they’d be able to handle it?

The span of time leaving adolescence in the dust — running, rolling, crawling — doing whatever it takes to prove to the world that you’re not a failure like so-and-so thinks…it’s a tough time.

Common go-to’s are perfectionism (putting on a good show), pretending not to care, stuffing all your problems and feelings (no time!) or maybe a big, fat mix. Early adulthood is prime time to get help before bad habits and unresolved trauma solidify.

Art therapy can be a great way to creatively identify attachment wounds and discover how they’ve been affecting you and your relationships. You don’t exist in a vacuum and insecure attachment is not your fault. No one is 100% secure anyway!

Common reasons that bring emerging adults to art therapy:

• Anxiety

• School stress/worry

• Crippling perfectionism

• Dating, break-ups, and relationship concerns

• Life transitions (school, career change, divorce, etc.)

• Feeling isolated as a result of neurodivergence

• Low self-esteem, lack of confidence

• Exploring faith/spiritual identity

• Exploring racial/ethnic identity

• Complicated family dynamics

• Emotional regulation

• Stress management

• Work/life balance

• Trauma and PTSD

• Grief and Loss

• Depression

• Self-Harm
