Therapists for college students near 78741

I believe in the power of connecting past experiences to the present, while honoring culture, identity, and interconnectedness. I view therapy as a space where you can express yourself freely, reflect on experiences & how they shape you, and make the changes necessary to explore & embrace your authentic self in order to be the person you strive to embody. People often say I have a warm, welcoming energy that make difficult conversations feel comfortable. I value finding moments to incorporate laughter, while also "keeping it real"! I am genuinely curious about your story as I feel honored to be invited into your most vulnerable moments. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals who are navigating challenges related to cultural & queer/trans identity, family of origin, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, generational trauma, and grief. I draw from a blend of approaches including IFS, Narrative, and attachment-based work to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. I have witnessed how life-changing the therapeutic space can be through my lived experience and seeing the power of connection in my work. If you are ready to explore your challenges or simply would like guidance towards growth, I invite you to reach out for a consultation! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about therapy or my practice.

Hi, I'm an LPC-Associate at Alive Austin. I work well with college students experiencing stressors and stages commonly faced during this period: life transitions, depression, anxiety, relational concerns, family conflict, or unprocessed childhood trauma. Many of my clients may struggle with boundaries, people pleasing, and navigating their new roles and responsibilities living on their own for the first time. Many people I see have also put off working though painful or significant experiences from their past that are still impacting them presently. I aim to help you build self-awareness, discard what is no longer serving you, and start finding fulfillment in life. I am currently unable to accept insurance as an LPC-Associate in Texas. I try to accommodate to students' needs by offering sliding scales. I also offer free consultations so there is not initial cost until you feel we're a good fit.

I'm Eloise and I help college students navigate the tough stuff. Whether it's stress from school, anxiety, identity exploration, relationships, or feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it all out alone. I create a space where you can vent, process and grow--without judgement. I get that college is a time of major transition and pressure. My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and focused on what you need--whether that's coping strategies, deeper self-awareness, or just someone who really listens. Let's talk about what's going on, what's holding you back, and how we can get you feeling more like yourself.

College life should be an exciting and challenging time. Becoming more independent and living away from home is a significant life transition. Enjoying this newfound autonomy while adjusting to college life can bring about a whole range of challenges, such as alcohol/substance abuse, academic stress, relational stress, neurodivergent issues, identity development, anxiety, social isolation, depression, trauma and many others. As a former Texas University graduate, former counselor of college students, and a parent of a college graduate, I am familiar with many of the issues facing today's students and passionate about helping young adults navigate this important chapter of their lives.

I offer a welcoming space for individuals, couples, and teens navigating anxiety, relationship stress and break-ups, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, sexual assault, perfectionism, high-achievers, and life transitions, including break-ups, marriage & new parenthood. Starting therapy takes courage, but you don't have to face life alone. My clients struggle to feel "good enough" in life & relationships or are overwhelmed trying to hold it all together. My passion is for those who seem "put together" on the outside but feel anxious, disconnected or stuck beneath, because I've been there. We'll develop tools to calm anxiety and overcome life's challenges so you can gain clarity, healing, & change. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, relationship stress & perfectionism and offer trauma-informed, compassionate therapy across Texas & California including in-person sessions in Austin, TX. I integrate CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, & mindfulness. I'm EMDR trained to support trauma. You’re the expert in your life; I’m here to offer perspective so you can feel more like yourself again. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly a decade in the entertainment industry, so I understand the pressure to perform, achieve, & “keep it all together.” Being human is hard, and you're not alone. I offer in-person sessions in Austin, plus virtual therapy across Texas. Please reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit!

I have over five years experience working with college students. I understand what it is like to be in a new place, trying to find yourself and do well in school. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed? Are you a perfectionist? I can help. Reach out to see if we are a good fit.

You want to appear as if you have it all figured out and that you are "ok", but deep down you are struggling with self-worth, coping, anxiety, conflict, and a clear direction in life. Everyday leaves you feeling overwhelmed, drained, and unsure about your roles and place in this world. Adulting and being away in college is so much harder than you imagined. You feel so alone in your struggle, and you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to start honoring yourself and your needs, even when it is hard. Most of all, you’re ready to do things differently, and you know the power to do that starts with you. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and college students struggling with coping, life transitions, and navigating the college and life. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who actually gets it. I will partner with you in a safe, nurturing environment via teletherapy or in person. I will offer you the support and strategies you need to begin to feel hopeful about your life and future again. A life where you can thrive and be authentic is possible. You don’t have to continue to pretend to be “ok” but will actually feel “ok”. Most importantly you don't have to be on your journey alone. Call me for a free 15 min consultation. You ready?

Navigating life as a college student can be overwhelming, and finding the right therapist shouldn’t add to the stress. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can express yourself freely, explore your thoughts and feelings, and gain the tools to move forward with confidence. My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques to best support each client, blending evidence-based practices with creative modalities like sandtray therapy and expressive arts. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, or something else, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build the skills to thrive.

Hi, my name is Johnathon, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Montana-Billings. I have extensive experience working with individuals, families, and in group settings where people faced concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, ADHD, stress management, and relationship challenges. My hope is that you'll leave our sessions with not only practical tools, but also a deeper sense of self-acceptance and compassion. You'll be equipped to prioritize your own well-being with intentional self-care, and feel a genuine sense of hope and optimism for what's ahead.

College can feel like a lot sometimes. Maybe classes, friends, or just life in general feels overwhelming or confusing right now. If that’s where you’re at, you’re definitely not alone and I’m here to help. I work best with students who are juggling a bunch but want to feel more calm and like themselves again. Maybe anxiety or stress is getting in the way or you just want some space to figure things out without feeling judged. When we work together, it’s a relaxed, down-to-earth space where you can be honest and take things at your own pace. We’ll find little ways to help you feel stronger and more confident in what you’re dealing with. If you want someone who gets it and can support you, I’d love to connect.

Hello! I’m Dr. Ryne Pulido. I’m a husband, father, and psychologist in Texas. I’m so excited to help folks build lives experienced as worth living and sharing. I started out as a therapist for children, adolescents, and young adults. Initially, “young adult” referred to college students. Then “young adult” expanded to include medical and law school students. And then it expanded to include early career professionals. Now, it has expanded to early career professionals struggling to #adult. Your struggle is real. Many of my clients struggle with intense emotional pain stemming from feelings of unlovability and fear of rejection. Their pain acts like an emotional dictator that commands them to withdraw from friends, family, work, school, hobbies, passions, interests, and other activities that make life worth living. Increasingly distant from their values (who they want to be deep inside their hearts) and goals (what they want to accomplish), they feel directionless and unsure of their best life because they’re so focused on protecting themselves from emotional pain. If this sounds like you, know it doesn’t have to be this way. You deserve a life worth living and sharing. Imagine what it would be like to control your actions (the things you do and say) amidst an emotional storm. What if you could be the person you want to be and move toward your goals just 20% more often? What would your relationships be like? Where would your career be? How much better would your sleep be?! Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I utilize a modern form of the tried-and-true Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Although ACT involves a radically new approach to happiness, over 1,000 clinical trials have been published in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating its effectiveness with diverse populations struggling with a wide range of psychological problems. ACT is focused on creating richer, fuller, and more meaningful lives rather than solely symptom reduction. When your life is bigger, the pain is smaller by comparison. ACT is a very active form of therapy. It’s not just talking about your problems and feelings (although there is always space for that). You will learn practical skills to move from struggling to flourishing. We will move through the program step-by-step, learning skills that build on each other. The good news is the skills are easy to learn and effective. You are headed into the unknown. Unfortunately, counseling and therapy is not 100% effective. Although I accept commercial insurance (if you go through Alma) and the Lotus Fund, the risk of committing time, money, effort, and heart to something that doesn’t work out is very real. I also can’t promise that you won’t feel uncomfortable, judged, and misunderstood, but you will have permission to express yourself and stop anything that is uncomfortable. I’ll listen with an open mind and you’re in the driver’s seat. But you are not alone. It’s your journey, but we’re a team—working together to help you become the person you want to be and build the life you want to live and share. All brains matter. I’ve spent my entire professional career working with neurodivergent folks and their families. I have a special place in my heart for ADHDers, autistics, and people with strong personalities. Are you in Texas, prefer virtual care, and ready to get to work? You can contact me by email (admin@rynepulidophd.com) or by calling or texting 512-537-4743. (Note it can take up to 72 hours for me to return a call, email, or text. If you are in a mental health emergency, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest ER). …and if you’re sort of ready that’s cool too. Reach out to me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation! Need financial help? I offer sliding-scale fee slots via Open Path Collective. These slots are extremely limited, so please get in touch with me before signing up to work with me. I also accept the Lotus Fund via the Asian Mental Health Collective.

Are you a young adult or adolescent trying to figure out who you are and/or who you want to be? Do life’s challenges seem to be getting in the way of reaching your full potential? If you are experiencing discomfort or confusion as you navigate "adulting", or you are struggling with self-esteem, body image, anxiety, or depression, I am here to help! I offer virtual counseling to teens & adults anywhere in the state of Texas. I have experience working with issues including body image & eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, & family/relationship issues. I am LGBT+ affirming & have an interest in working with queer, transgender, & nonbinary clients. I am Health At Every Size Aligned. I believe in meeting my clients where they are. I have a warm, non-judgmental aura that allows clients to feel safe when working with me. I believe that every person possesses the ability to find inner peace and reach their goals. If you think we could be a good fit, I would love to connect! I am available early mornings and evenings Monday and Tuesday, and early mornings M-F.

My ideal clients are individuals navigating the weight of depression, anxiety, trauma (including spiritual), or chronic health struggles. They’re seeking a safe space to be heard, to find clarity, and to build a path toward healing and balance. With specialized training in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT for chronic pain, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, I offer a compassionate, tailored approach to help clients process their experiences, regain control, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I’m deeply passionate about walking alongside you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. Together, we’ll build healthy boundaries, ignite your inner strength, and create meaningful, lasting change. My mission is to provide a safe, empowering space where you feel truly seen and supported as the expert of your own life. Life’s journey is full of twists, turns, and unexpected challenges, and it’s okay to feel stuck or unsure along the way. I’d be honored to walk beside you, offering compassion, understanding, and tools to help you navigate it. Together, we can uncover your strengths, embrace growth, and create a path forward that feels true to you.

I'm a millennial therapist mixing healing with humor, honesty & compassion. Judgment-free vibes, deep work, and maybe a meme or playlist too. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, grounded in the belief that every individual holds the capacity for growth and healing. I bring a deep commitment to social justice into the therapy space, recognizing that meaningful healing often requires challenging and dismantling the oppressive systems that impact our lives. In our work together, I aim to create a safe, affirming space where your voice is heard and your resilience is honored.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’re falling behind? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I specialize in supporting college students and young adults across Texas who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, grief, and major life changes. Whether you’re struggling to adjust, questioning your direction, or just trying to stay afloat, therapy can help. I offer 100% virtual sessions so you can connect from your dorm, apartment, or wherever you feel most comfortable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Faith-based counseling is also available for those who want to integrate their Christian beliefs into the healing process. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control again.

Many of the college students I work with are balancing classes, jobs, relationships, and questions about who they are—and that can feel overwhelming. I often help students who are navigating academic stress, identity changes, and family expectations, while also working to feel more confident and handle life’s challenges without burning out. As a Latino and LGBTQ+ therapist, I understand how culture, family, and identity can shape your college experience and sometimes add extra pressure. In our work together, I use proven counseling methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to give you practical tools for managing emotions and relationships. I create a safe, welcoming space where your whole self is valued, and where you can explore who you are, challenge old beliefs, and build skills to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

The process of therapy can be a place to explore patterns that can keep us stuck or create suffering in our lives.Life is worth living and it requires action steps. I have training in DBT and CBT.I have experience working with individuals who may be dealing with a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, relationship problems, self-criticism, life transitions, and family of origin issues. I work from a holistic and relational framework informed by mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, approaches. As a therapist, I am kind, non-judgmental, and direct. We will work together to create an action plan to practice change or acceptance. Together we can work on understanding your vulnerability factors while learning how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can build a life worth living.
