Therapists for college students near 53715

The students and young adults I work with are often at a crossroads in their lives. They may be questioning who they are, where they belong, what they want for their future, or how to move forward after a difficult experience. Some are navigating trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, while others simply feel stuck and want to better understand themselves. Through WellQor, I provide convenient online therapy for students and young adults, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make mental health care more accessible. I believe therapy can be a place to step back from the pressure of daily life, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My style is supportive, honest, and collaborative. I will listen without judgment, but I also believe growth often comes from being willing to look at patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be holding you back. Together, we can explore your story, identify what is getting in the way of the life you want, and work toward creating a future that feels more authentic and fulfilling. If you are someone who is curious about yourself, open to growth, and looking for a therapist who will both support and challenge you along the way, we may be a good fit.

Many of the students I work with are in a season of growth, change, or self-discovery. They may be questioning their next steps, struggling with confidence, navigating relationship challenges, or feeling pressure to have everything figured out. Some come to therapy because they're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, while others simply want a space to better understand themselves and build a stronger sense of direction. Through WellQor, I provide online therapy that fits into a busy student lifestyle, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. I enjoy working with students who are ready to invest in themselves, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. I am especially passionate about supporting women, individuals facing life transitions, and those working through self-esteem concerns. My approach is warm, flexible, and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on what's wrong, I help clients recognize their strengths, build self-awareness, and create meaningful changes that align with their values and goals. If you're looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to grow, heal, and gain confidence in yourself, I'd be honored to be part of that journey.

Hi, I'm Alexandria! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin, and I work with people of all ages who are facing life's challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, grief, or just feeling overwhelmed, I'm here to help you feel supported and understood. I'm especially drawn to helping people through big life transitions, because I know firsthand how much change can affect you. In first grade, my teacher described me with one word: thoughtful. That has stuck with me ever since. My care for people and natural empathy have shown up in every job I've had, and during the pandemic I knew it was time to fully commit to a career helping others. What I love most about being a therapist is the chance to advocate for and support people. My approach is built on compassion, collaboration, and respect for your unique story. I'll truly listen and stay with you until you feel ready to face things with confidence. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, and I'd be honored to work alongside you. I look forward to meeting you! Alexandria Scheer, LCSW

Hi, my name is Amy and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. I started out as a medical social worker, so I understand how health conditions can affect both the body and the mind. I am trained in Grief and Loss, Trauma Informed Care, EMDR, Reiki, and Mindfulness, and over my six years with WellQor I have grown to love working with seniors and mature adults. I have been a helper my whole life, so becoming a therapist felt like a natural step. I believe people are generally good and that we are all doing the best we can with what we have been given, and I bring that mindset into every session. My style is eclectic, drawing on person centered and strength based work, solution focused therapy, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I keep your needs, goals, and quality of life at the center of our work. As your therapist, I promise to listen, support, encourage, and walk with you through whatever comes, especially through big life changes and shifts in health.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for close to ten years, and I help teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families work through anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and substance use. You do not have to be in crisis to begin therapy. Choosing to reach out simply means you have decided to invest in becoming the healthiest version of yourself, and I would be glad to support you in that. My style is warm, supportive, and free of judgment. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and solution focused and trauma informed approaches, and I shape our work around what fits you. For clients who want it, I also offer faith based and Christian counseling. On your good days and your hard days, I will be a steady presence, helping you process what you are facing and find a way forward. I see clients through WellQor, where I provide therapy entirely online, so you can meet with me from wherever feels comfortable. If you would like to begin working together, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you with the next steps and help get you on my schedule. I look forward to meeting you.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me in choosing a support person for yourself or family member. I facilitate individual therapy with adult and older adult populations, and treat issues related to life transitions, stress management, relationships, family systems, trauma, and chronic health conditions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with our political climate, finding it hard to say no or to ask for help, creating balance between helping others' and prioritizing your own needs, developing goals or identifying your values, we can work together to alleviate suffering and promote greater well-being in your life. For the past five years I have been a remote therapist (telehealth services) and a first responder clinician (co-responder) responding on scene to 911 mental health emergencies with my law enforcement partner. Prior to these roles, I provided dual diagnosis therapy in a variety of settings, including outpatient, residential, and jail settings since 2009. I have witnessed first-hand the struggles we all face, as well as the needs of families that develop over time. It is important to have a space to explore and express our needs with someone who is able to hold empathy and unconditional positive regard, as well as identify strategies for healing and change. I look forward to working with you.

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.

**Office is located in Fitchburg Let’s be real, anxiety is a b!tch. I can help, let’s chat! My clients struggle like you do. They live with anxiety- the heart racing, chest tightening, skin crawling, keeps you up all night kind. They often grew up in emotionally and physically unsafe environments, been in inconsistent and unstable relationships, and struggled with their personal identity. Being on guard, people pleasing, and quieting their voice was a means to survive with the least amount of damage. When my clients first come in, they feel ANXIOUS. They don’t know where to start. They minimize their experiences and often say “I’m fine” when really they are living in their own personal hell and trauma is the prison keeper. And lets be clear- Trauma, is also a b!tch. Despite knowing the challenges they have been through, my clients tell themselves “I should be over this. It’s not that bad.” They often avoid confronting people in their life or asserting themselves, even if they are unhappy with the relationship or the way life is going. Remaining quiet to reestablish a sense of internal safety - also known as the trauma response of fawning - is something my clients know very well. Their fear of being seen and the possible harm that could come from that - being emotionally rejected, criticized, physically hurt - keeps my clients stuck in a pattern of shrinking into themselves, doing what they are told they “should” do, and forcing themselves to believe the story of “If I just forget about it, it will go away. I’ll be fine.” Before my clients came to see me, they carried the weight of their experiences on their chest, rarely feeling like they could catch their breath, be present in their life, or feel happy. They felt distant from friends and family, drained by the day after day hold worry and restlessness had on them, and too exhausted to even send a quick text. Like my clients, you deserve to live anxiety free - establishing your own rules on life, setting boundaries, and confident in the way you show up in the world. Feeling relief without depending on anyone else’s approval is not out of reach. If you want to ditch anxiety, break out of people pleasing, say no, assert your personal needs and expectations - I’d love to help you get there.

I work with folks looking to understand their own identity. Whether that be in relation to themself or others. Balancing life as an emerging adult while being a college student can be overwhelming. I specialize in working with folks who are queer, trans, gender expansive, and neurodivergent. I am trained in a trauma therapy called EMDR, which can help people who have experienced traumatic events to find healing. I support folks in finding skills for regulating their emotions, sitting in the discomfort of hard feelings, and being more present in their day to day life.

I help women on the road to parenthood specializing in infertility, loss, pregnancy and postpartum phase. I also help college students struggling with anxiety.

We specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT).

As a therapist, I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and personality disorders. My approach is grounded in relational theory, which emphasizes the importance of connection, trust, and emotional safety within the therapeutic space. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable, supported, and open to exploring their experiences, helping them better understand themselves and move towards meaningful change.

Hey, I’m Lexi! I’m a therapist who helps college students heal their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. If you're exhausted by the pressure to have it all together—or to shrink yourself (your body, your voice, your needs)—you’re not alone. You deserve support that actually gets it. At Innerbloom Counseling, I help you untangle the messy stuff like disordered eating, comparison spirals, or feeling totally disconnected from yourself, and work toward a life where you feel more grounded, more whole, and more you. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone where you get to be real, go deep, and reconnect with the parts of you that might’ve been pushed aside. If you’re ready to feel more at home in your body and your life, I’d love to support you.

I work with individuals who are managing multiple responsibilities and expectations but feel like they’re quietly falling apart under the pressure to hold everything together. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life who are navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, or major life changes. They’re looking for a space to slow down, feel truly seen, and learn tools to cope more effectively. They want relief, clarity, and a path forward that feels more sustainable and aligned with who they are. My clients want therapy that is modern, accessible, and holistic from a provider who is experienced and relatable.

I help college students cope with mental health challenges that get in the way of school and relationships. Having too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folks for over 10 years. Together, we can get you unstuck. Using practical (and fun!) research-validated strategies, you’ll learn to harness your self-control as a strength and break free from patterns that burn you out. Finding a therapist who gets you can be stressful. Let’s make this process easier for you: email me, call me, or visit waveways.org, and we’ll schedule a free consultation to discuss your hopes and needs.

College can be an exciting and transformative time, but it can also be overwhelming. Many students navigate academic pressure, shifting relationships, financial stress, identity exploration, and expectations that can feel impossible to meet. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, burnout, or simply feeling lost or disconnected, you deserve support that meets you where you are. My practice offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space for college students to slow down, reflect, and understand what they’re experiencing. I work collaboratively with students to navigate both personal and systemic challenges common in higher education—especially for those who feel marginalized, misunderstood, or stretched thin. Together, we focus on strengthening coping strategies, regulating stress, building self-trust, and reconnecting to your goals and values. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in both clinical expertise and real-world experience supporting young adults. Therapy is not about “fixing” you; it’s about helping you feel more stable, empowered, and connected as you move through school and life. I welcome undergraduate, graduate, and returning students from all backgrounds, including those balancing school with work, caregiving, or recovery. You don’t have to navigate this chapter alone—support is here when you’re ready.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/complex PTSD, life transitions such as being in college, addiction, and chronic pain. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take the next step toward healing. I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to your unique needs. Depending on your goals, we may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic work, Rogerian Therapy, motivational interviewing, or other evidence-based practices. I have a down-to-earth, gentle style and the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering tools, insight, and encouragement as you move toward growth and relief. I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen the profound changes that happen when people are given the space and support to heal.
