Therapists for college students near Boston, MA

We can easily feel stuck in life and not sure of the right way to turn. There are ways to remove the roadblocks while increasing your empowerment and self awareness. But where do you start? Finding the right therapist can be difficult. I strive to create a warm and welcoming place where you can feel safe, cared for, and valued, while providing you with strategies to meet your needs. I have been told that I am realistic, down to earth, and that I create an environment where you can feel comfortable opening up. I have experience working with all age groups and populations. I have a great deal of experience working with those with a variety of struggles including mood disorders, eating disorders, OCD, personality disorders, and trauma. I have a great deal of knowledge in area resources and connecting people with services and/or supports who may be beneficial. In addition to Psychotherapy, I have worked many years in Management and Supervisory roles. I provide Contract Supervision to Master's level Clinicians , as well as anyone who is interested in Clinical Supervision. I also offer training in different areas regarding Private Practice and billing. Feel free to reach out to schedule a consult and/or appointment.

I am a Harvard-trained and affiliated clinical psychologist with a practice in Concord, Massachusetts. I have practiced in Boston and have worked with many college and graduate students over the years. Offering both in-person and virtual appointments, I work with adults of all ages struggling with relationships or family difficulties, depression and anxiety, adjusting to new environments or life situations, grief, identity, and other issues. My approach has an emphasis on insight-oriented ("talk") therapy, but I use cognitive and emotion regulation approaches as well, tailored to what you need. I also offer single session therapy appointments. Please see my website for more information. Seeking therapy can be stressful and confusing. Please contact me with any questions. *Please note: I offer a reduced fee for college and graduate students*

At Hive Health, we believe healing is not one‑size‑fits‑all. Whether you’re a medical student carrying the weight of burnout, a young adult navigating life transitions, or a teen exploring your identity, you deserve care that sees the whole you. Like a hive, our well‑being is interconnected. When one part struggles, the whole system feels it. That’s why our approach is trauma‑informed, holistic, and culturally humble, addressing not just symptoms, but the deeper roots of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and Professional Counselor in Connecticut. I have more than 10 years of experience supporting young adults and their families, addressing behaviors and issues related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, parenting, life transitions, self-esteem, and career and academic concerns. I am dedicated to support students, including student parents, to identify strengths and acquire or improve independent, coping, and interpersonal skills. I listen and work with students with an open mind, offering a non-judgmental, compassionate, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy. My goal is to empower students to achieve personal growth and emotional resilience.

Right now you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, burnout, or just feeling “stuck.” Maybe you struggle with overthinking, difficulty sleeping, worrying about the future, self-doubt, feeling unmotivated, or unsure of your next step forward. If you’re finding it harder to quiet your thoughts, juggling competing demands, or feeling like you’re holding it together on the outside while struggling when no one is looking, therapy can be a place to pause, make sense of what’s happening, and reconnect with clarity. I’m here to really listen to you and be by your side, helping you to cultivate the change that you want in your life. Therapy should feel collaborative, safe, and empowering. I bring in a variety of evidenced-based therapy frameworks personalized to your needs, along with compassion and humor into sessions. We’ll sort through what feels hard, learn healthy ways to cope with emotions, and rewrite unhelpful patterns to develop healthier relationships with others and yourself. Imagine what your life will look like when you’ve gotten what you needed in therapy. Lets make that happen together. It really is possible for you to overcome what you’re going through with help from an experienced therapist. Call or email me to schedule a free 20-minute consultation call, and I’ll respond in 1 business day. I look forward to talking to you!

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and openness, helping you uncover your strengths and find meaningful growth. Whether you are processing past trauma, working through current challenges, or seeking greater self-understanding, I strive to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way. I bring a compassionate, person-centered, and holistic approach to the therapeutic space, while creating a safe and supportive environment for all individuals.

Welcome to Amethyst Counseling Services I'm Rachel Lorenzo-Ramirez, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering virtual therapy for students and young adults across New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. College life can be exciting—and overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating academic stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, cultural or family pressures, or questions about your identity, therapy can be a space to sort through it all with support and intention. I specialize in helping students process what’s beneath the surface using evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR. Together, we’ll work on building emotional clarity, self-compassion, and practical coping skills so you can feel more grounded and confident—on and off campus. This is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be open to the process of growing through what you're going through.

Hi! My name is Stacie and I created Hope Connected Counseling & Consulting, P.L.L.C., founded on the philosophy of healing through hope and connection. Students who are a good fit for my practice are those in NH or MA looking for specific tools and strategies to move beyond what might be causing you to feel stuck, stressed, or challenged. I believe the work happens inside and outside of therapy sessions, and I can appreciate that everyone's timeline is different. I aim to get to know my clients not just for what brings them to therapy, but as a whole person, with unique strengths and talents that will likely aid in the achievement of individualized goals. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation if you'd like to explore whether I'd be a good fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a skilled and compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting and empowering students in their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. With extensive experience in the field, I have become a trusted guide for students navigating the unique challenges of college life. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, warmth, and non-judgment. I recognize the importance of creating a safe and confidential space for students to openly express their concerns and explore their thoughts and emotions. Through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I work closely with students to help them develop effective coping strategies, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate resilience. With a genuine passion for student mental health, I help to address a wide range of issues commonly faced by college students, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I tailor therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each student, fostering personal growth and overall well-being. Driven by a deep sense of purpose and a desire to make a positive impact, I am committed to supporting college students through their academic journey, empowering them to overcome obstacles and thrive in all areas of their lives.

Welcome! I work with teens and adults in my West Concord office and via telehealth, including many high school students and young adults navigating major life transitions. I specialize in supporting members of the LGBTQ community, as well as parents and caregivers of children and adolescents. As a queer person and a parent, I bring lived experience that helps me connect with people across multiple communities and intersecting identities. Feelings are human, yet many of us learn to push them away. When we’ve been through difficult or traumatic experiences, we often develop protective parts of ourselves that guard us from vulnerable emotions and memories. In therapy, we can explore where troubling feelings or patterns originate and develop more compassionate ways to care for ourselves. My style is direct and open. I bring compassion, humor, genuine curiosity, and a sense of shared humanity to the therapeutic relationship. If you think I might be a good fit for you, please reach out to schedule a phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

Hi, I'm Colleen! I have been a Social Worker for the last 17 years working with adults, adolescents, children and families. I will bring compassion, reflection and a little humor during our time together. In sessions, I utilize several integrated modalities to really adjust to what the individual needs are. I like to use a Person-Centered Approach, meeting the individual where they are in order to collaboratively develop obtainable goals and explore healthy coping strategies. We will use Psychodynamic Therapy to explore the individuals thoughts and feelings, and how the past may be impacting their present or future.

Tired of briefly feeling a little better after talking to your therapist each week, while not really making any sustained progress? Feeling like you two don't really have (or haven’t even discussed) a plan to address what brought you in for therapy? If you answered “yes,” to either question, you unfortunately are not alone. From day one, a key part of treatment at T.O.P.+ Behavioral Health is developing a collaborative plan incorporating your goals and strengths. My therapy approach is warm and validating, while teaching you evidence-based tools to increase awareness of what’s keeping you stuck and to make changes to get unstuck and live more aligned with what is important to you. I offer both specialized and more general individual therapy services. As an expert in exposure and response prevention (ERP) and habit reversal training, I am proud to offer the first-line and gold-standard treatments for OCD and tic disorders respectively. In addition, I am an expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy for panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder. Other specialty offerings include CBT for depression, adult ADHD, insomnia, and binge eating disorder. A significant portion of my practice also involves working with college students experiencing normal, but difficult, issues that often show up during college years and transitions, such as test anxiety, difficulties making or navigating friendships, trouble concentrating, self-esteem or identity issues, or relationship difficulties. In addition to the standard individual therapy services described above, T.O.P. + also proudly offers intensive therapy services for OCD (i.e., ERP), Tourette’s & Tic Disorders (i.e., HRT), Panic Disorder/Agoraphobia (i.e., CBT) and Specific Phobia (i.e., CBT). Our Accelerated ERP, HRT, and CBT Programs consist of longer sessions (e.g., two to four hours per session) compared with a standard 50-minute session. In addition, most Accelerated Programs meet more frequently (e.g., three to five times per week) compared with the standard once-weekly therapy session, allowing one to finish a dose of treatment in one to three weeks. Accelerated program sessions can take place in-office, via telehealth, in the community, or through a combination of these settings. Our Accelerated Programs are great 1) for those with severe symptoms for which meeting once weekly might not be adequate to manage concerns; 2) for individuals wanting to finish a dose of treatment in a significantly shorter period of time (i.e., Great for Winter or Spring Break); 3) in many instances to help create momentum, achieve symptom improvement and reach therapy goals more quickly; 4) save money by receiving a discount compared with T.O.P. +’s hourly rates for standard individual therapy. Contact Dr. Bowe to learn more about specific offerings and pricing of Accelerated Programs. I do not currently accept insurance for standard individual therapy or for any of the Accelerated Programs. For standard individual therapy, however, I offer a $50/session discount for in-person appointments at my downtown Northampton office which has ample free parking and is accessible by public transportation. An additional $10/session discount is offered by payment by cash/check for standard individual therapy appointments. These two discounts do not apply to Accelerated Programs. As noted above, however, there is a separate discounted hourly rate for Accelerated Programs which ends up being less than the hourly rate for standard individual therapy even after in-office and cash/check-payment discounts are taken into account. Please also be aware that many insurances also offer out-of-network benefits, and may reimburse some of your expenses for standard individual therapy sessions when you submit paperwork which I can provide you with. For a free 15- to 30-minute initial consultation, please call or email me to learn more about how I might be able to help you.
