College is a challenging time.
College students are busier than they’ve ever been. It may be your first time living away from home and managing your own finances. You’re simultaneously trying to figure out who you are, lay the groundwork for your future, adjust to a new physical setting, decipher and navigate new social structures, establish new relationships, and maybe even hold down a part-time job.
It’s a lot.
You’re not alone.
Mental health burdens have a way of making us feel isolated, but you’re not alone. 61% of undergrads report feeling anxiety, and 42% experience greater-than-average stress.
That’s why more and more of your peers are seeking counseling and therapy. By 2015, the number of college students receiving counseling grew 30% in just six years (while enrollments only grew by 5%).
Neema’s online counseling is for college students.
And you’re not alone because the Neema Counseling team is ready and waiting to talk with you. You can meet each of our counselors online, and schedule a consultation today.
Each of our counselors has a slightly different focus or approach, but each is part of the Neema team because they believe that creating space where people can find grace is the path to hope and healing. Our counselors really do consider it a privilege to join you on your journey. We meet in Austin, near the University of Texas, in Houston, in the Spring Branch area, and offer online counseling for college students across the State of Texas.
Is counseling right for you?
If you’ve been feeling anxious or depressed, lonely, confused, or stuck; if adjusting to new challenges and norms has been harder than you anticipated; if you’re overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next — yes: counseling is right for you.
The truth is, everyone can benefit from a listening ear and trusted guidance. Everyone needs a little grace, support, and hope sometimes.
Some stress is normal in college students.
College comes with stress, and it can be helpful to know that some stress is completely normal — and even good. It’s okay to feel a little stress about an upcoming test, a date, or a busy week. Small bursts of stress can boost energy and memory.
But your body was not designed to handle stress for weeks or months at a time. Trouble sleeping, frequent illness or aches, social isolation, and anxiety or depression are signs of excessive stress.
A free consultation means you have nothing to lose.
If you’re a college student thinking about counseling, don’t wait. College is hard, and it’s completely normal to get overwhelmed. The sooner you start talking to someone, the sooner you can start on your path to hope and healing.
